Tacoma. Wash. Feb. Italics OF in
tense suffering of thousands of persons
and innumerable deaths from starvation
are told by Fred j. Fletcher. for twenty
years a resident of Tacoma and now a
missionary in China. In "a letter to his
brother. g. c. Fletcher. of the Tacoma
Hotel. the missionary states that never

only a few weeks, mothers of four starv-

the missionary and begged him to accept
them as "a gift. The youngest Of the four
girls, Ia In 81, is only four years old. and
the missionaries could scarcely believe
that the little skeleton they viewed was
alive when the mother asked them to care
for the child.
Hip bones, ankles, and backbone pro-
tuded through the girls skin, and the
child could scarcely stand alone as the
result of hunger and privation." writes
Mr Fletcher

from snow and rain by a mere basketike

Going the Pace In Society.

From the American Magazine.
Just think of the number OF people
there are trying to go the pace. They say
there are 1900 millionaires in this coun-
try, but l say there are 20.O0o in New
York alone-or if they don't own million
they're spending the income Of il. which
amounts to the same thing. You can
figure that a man who pays $4,000 a year
for rent is paying $4,000 to live; and
there's Fifth avenue-tWo miles Of IT. If
you count the uptown and downtown
parts; and there's Madison avenue and
half dozen houses adjoining on every
side street; and then there are the hotels
and apartment houses, to say nothing Of
the West Side and Riverside Drive. And
you meet the mobs of people in the shops
and the hotels and the theaters. and they
all want 10 be better dressed than YOU
l saw woman here to-day that I never
saw in my life before. and I heard her
say she'd paid S2.000 for lace handker-
chief; and it might have been true, for
I've been asked 20 pay $40 coo for lace
shawl at a bargain. It's common
enough thing to see a woman walking on
Fifth avenue with 5000 or $50, 600 worth Of
furs on her. / know women who have q

black fox. baby lamb, and mink and
sable, and ] know man whose chauffeur
quit him because he wouldn't buv him a
fancy fur coat! And once people used to
pack their fuTs away and take care of
them: but now they wear them about. and
you can fairly see them fade. Or else
their cut goes out Of fashion, and so they
have TO have new ones.

The Growth of High ideals.

From the Universalist Leader
COmmercialsm is strong. but ideals are
stronger in this country Of ours. In spite
of not only the seeming but really mad
rush for money, moral standards are
higher. and the unwholesome revelations
of greed and crime which are being made
stir the Indignation Of a people because
of the 1oftier demands or this same peo-
pie. We hear no end of cheap talk pro-
claiming willingness TO share in the loot.
but whoever tries to-day TO get more
than belongs TO him is up against the
people" While in politics, which is
counted dirtier than business, so wise
a man as Prof. Peabody has pointed out
that no governor of a Commonwealth
can permanently command public conf
denCe except he add to political shreWd-
ness the gift of political idealism. No
candidate for our Presidency can win
the heart Of the people except he repre-
sent, or be believed 10 represent, their
inherited desire for justice, integrity, re-
sponsibility, faith in the plain man, and
a fair deal for all ="

SHOULD WOMEN DRINK?
Two Views Of This Question ny II.
Louis Society Leaders.

st Louis women are slow to ac-

increasing as the city grows larger
says Mrs. ABBY A. Ch0uteau in the
ST Louis Post-Dispatch.
TO please mere men. women are
obliged 10 be c0mpauionabIe. and
nothing adds brilliaucv like the
stimulation Of good drinks. Ameri-
cans have been slow in learning that
eating and drinking are arts. and that
it requires discretion to do either prop
erly OF course. excesses are wholly
inexcusable
Women are learning that their
wits are made sparkling by drink,
and that in the strain of social duties

one up. ! doubt if the majority Of
women Ike the taste of highbaus

Opposed 10 this view is that Of Mrs,

1T is true that The drinking habit IS
increasing among women. but I am
strongly opposed to such indulgence.
In the first place. women can't stand

their husbands drink, and i'm the second
place they are placing approval upon a
habit which is carried 10 such excess
that l can't understand how any woman
could approve of Il.
Some women do not think ANYTHING
of ordering these drinks when they are
with escorts. but I cannot understand
how any woman could bring herself to
go unaccompanied to a public restau-
rant and give such an order.
L hold to the old fashioned ideas.
