Chinese Women.
From the Chicago News.


There is a growing desire on the part
OF the young of both sexes in China to
choose their own mates. Fathers and
mothers are therefore called upon nv the
Chinese to uphold the old rules. Children
says the Chinese board of educat;or
should have nothing to do with choice
In such matters However, a very eraw-
some picture is sketched by a native ed;-
tor of the miseries that abound in China
on account of the way in which mar
riages are arranged. and IL is contended
that young people should be allowed to
have some choice.
The board of education also maintains
that the three obediences' and the "four
virtues must be extolled. The three
obediences" are: The daughter must first
obey her parents. then her husband and
then her son. The -four virtues" are
chastity, proper language. devotion to
household work and proper demeanor.
Apparently, IL the present trend O.
things Is allowed, these old rules will be
ignored. The Chinese assumption that
woman must not be heard Of outside
the door OF her own house is now being
criticised by up-to-date Chinese editors

POPULAR PERFUMES.
Revival Of an Old Fashion-Right
Place for Scent Sachets.

From the London Mail.
In the midst OF so many present day
fashions copied from those of hundred
years ago 1t Is scarcely surprising that
the habit OF using scent in profusion
should be numbered.
How they saturated themselves with
sweet waters in those old. old days! We
read OF very orgy OF perfume in the
time OF Catherine de Medici. and learn
that the men then were as prone to its
use in proeusion as were the women.
One great king perfumed himself with
amber frcm head to foot. and every ar
ticle OF attire was scented.
The great Napoleon used floods Of eau
de cologne ;svery morning. and the Em-
press Josephine filled her dressing room
with musk I'm all sorts OF forms.
Today IL Is the scent fountain and the
vaporizer that are In great request. With
the vaporizer the lady's maid scents her
mistress before she leaves her room In
the morning and after she has taken the
perfumed bath.

heard distant music. He could see

she flew straight to some trees, in a
wood, that stood as silent as though
they had not friend in the world: and
she whispered to them and kissed them

they We're all so happy that they were
clapping their hands.
Then she saw some poor little birds
sitting hot and painting in a deep
thicket, and she stopped to speak kind
ly and encouragingly to them, and to
tell them where there was a clear, cool
spring, not yet dried up, where they
might go and battle to their hearts
content.
Then she came to a garden where
some children were out with their buck
cts looking for peas, but the vines were
sere and yellow with the heat, as were
other things in the garden, and the
children were crying because they were
hungry.
In great distress Sou'winda flew UP to
some white clouds and coaxed and en-
treated until they got together and
