Girls Sailor Jumper Suit.


The sailor jumper suit is one of the
latest and best liked developments of
that favorite model, and here is one
made from white linen, with bands of
blue, which Is smart and sqmmer-like
in the extreme. The long, loose
blouse is drawn on over the head
without an opening, and the big sail
or collar makes its pretty and appro-
pirate finish. In this case no shield
is worn, and for very warm days and
for tennis and other outdoor sports
that style is a most desirable one, but
the shield can be used whenever
liked.
The suit consists of the jumper and
the skirt. The skirt is straight and
can be either pleated or gathered at
its upper edge, where it can be joined
to a fitted body lining or to a belt.
The blouse is made with front and
back portions. 1t is faced at the
front and the collar is joined to the
neck edge. The sleeves are simple
plain ones, with cuffs finishing their
lower edges. The separate shield can
be used and adjusted under the
blouse or the body lining can be faced
to give the effect; or, again, the suit
can be worn without the shield, when
the skirt should be attached to a belt
in place of the body lining.

Leon MERELY A TYPE OF CONVERTS
that ATTEND CHINESE MISSIONS

told them to leave the premises. Faith
er Mclaughlin is large and muscular,
and his usually benign countenance
can look stern on occasions. The
visitors left without good-byes.
The Girls Recreation Home" run
by Mrs. Frances Hold, at No 10 Mott
street, has been closed This home
was frequented by Elsie Sigel and her
misguided mother, and it was there
that the girl often met the man who
is now being pursued by the police.
Every man who has been brought
into contact with this type of China
man, or who has had opportunity to
observe the workings of Chinese
mission, knows that there are no
greater plague spots in the country
than such establishments. Ministers,
who with more zeal than intelligence,
assemble Cinnamon together and per-
NIT them to be instructed under the
tutelage of young girls, are merely
lending themselves to the knavery of
their charges.
The Chinese are taught American
hymns, and hymns translated by mis-
sionaries for them into Chinese. These
they troll forth Justify, all the while
squirting insolently at their teachers.
During the week they make frequent
visits to the homes of the girl, bear
ing Chinese sweetmeats and ginger.
At Christmas they shower upon the
young women gifts of shawls and
costly fabrics, with an object in mind
which would probably make a MUIR
derer of any father that suspected it.
In manner they are always bland
and suave, being very careful to say
nothing that will give offense, but one
look into their leering faces is enough
to convince a person of experience
that a young girl would be better
trusted with the worst cadet on the
East Side At least the cadets lam
guage would be a warning.

New York City.-Every city in the
United States where three or four
Chinese can be gathered together in
a Sunday-school has a girl trap like
that in which Elsie Sigel went to her
death.
Wherever the crafty William Leon,
or Leung Linn, to give his Chinese
name, goes in his flight he will be
aided by kindred spirits willing to do
all they can for him, because they
can never know when they will be in
the same predicament.
A Chinaman hunt is not at all like
an ordinary man hunt, where all hon
est men are willing to tell all they
know about the murderer's where
abouts. Every Chinese community
has its clique of criminals, willing
and eager to protect any fellow coun-
tryman the police happen to want,
and always blandly misunderstanding
every question that is put to them.
Elsie Sigel's fate awaits, almost
certainly, every white girl who per-
mits herself to get into the power of
the snug, psalm-singing Christian
lied" Chinese who frequent the Chi
nese Sunday-schools. Such tragedies
are grewsomely familiar on the Pa
cific Coast, where of late the Chinese
mission Is looked upon with severe
disfavor. 1t was long ago discovered
there that when Sunday-school was
taught by men the Oriental zeal for
new religion became suddenly cooled.
When Father Mclaughlin, now of
New Rochelle, was in charge of a
Mott street church company of Chi
nese came to him and politely re-
quested that he establish Sunday
school for their benefit. Father Nc
Laughlin assented, and being man
of wisdom announced that he would
teach it himself. When his yellow
visitors requested that they be taught
by young white girls he Indignantly

THE ELSIE sIeEL CRIME PECULIAR TO u $, GERMANS SAY
Berlin Newspapers Blame America Artificial
of 4

Berlin.-The newspapers here de-
scribe the murder of Elsie Sigel in
New York as a tragedy which could
have been enacted only in religio-
sexual atmosphere peculiar to Amer
lea. Says one newspaper:
IF the scandals that involved
Prince Philip gu Gutenberg and the
Knights of the Round Table were
characteristic of Germany, it can be
said with equal truth that the trag-
edies arising out of this weird and
unhealthy mixture of religious pas
sion and sexual passion are charac-
teristic of America"
Germany" it adds, "can learn a
lesson from decadents on the other
side of the Atlantic--not to permit
pietists to be too prominent in lead
ing social usage; not to set up a
wholly artificial standard of moral
ity."

Lone Bandits Feat.

Fort Worth, Tex-In true frontier
style highwayman, described as
gentlemanly in appearance, robbed
the branch banking house of the
Waggoner Bank and Trust Company,
in the heart of Fort Worth, of $500,
and, some assert, escaped in an auto
mobile.
The robbery was the most daring
attempted in Texas in years. Walter
e. King, the cashier, was alone in the
bank after closing time, finishing the
business of the day, when man
walked in. AS the man approached
the window of the cashiers desk King
looked into the barrel of a revolver.
Make a move or noise of any
kind and I'll kill you" was the greet
ing Mr.. King received.
Selling a roll of bills, the man
backed out of the door, covering King
with the revolver. King ran to the
telephone as he saw the man walking
down the street and mingling with
the crowds with an air of unconcern.
The police reached the scene five
minutes later, but the robber had dis
appeared.

Berlin maintains, apropos of the Sigel
murder, that religious ardor and sex
ual passion are bound deeply and
abidingly. Their unity is sometimes
celebrated secretly with mystic rites;
sometimes breaks out openly in orgies
like those celebrated by devotees of
strange sects in America, Russia and
elsewhere.
The Berliner Zeitung Mittag adds:
Conventional morality is strung to
so high pitch in America that he or
she who renounces it often degen-
crates to religious practices unhealthy
in character
America is full of such perversi-
ties--fuller than Germany, because
traditional morality is more stringent
ly exercised there than in Germany.
We hope this murder will open the
eyes of advanced New Workers to the
fact that the rule of the too truly
good is harmful"
