CHINESE WOMEN.

At meeting in New York recent
ly Minister WI said of the Chinese
women: Our Chinese women do not
get as much outdoor sunshine as you
do. China is reforming now, it ia
true, but until recently Chinese wo-
men were kept indoors, not by force.
but by custom. Now they begin to
get out, but not with your spirit and
independence. They live an indoor
life. and so they are pale and very
thin, or else stout and very fat from
lack of exercise.

there should be further legislation by
