JOHN ALDEN WAY IN CHINA
Whether That Is a Benefit or Not,
There Is No Doubt Of Woman's
Advance.

DR.. Isaac T. Headland, a resident Of
Picking for many years, where he en-
joyed the friendship Of the dowager
empress, throws a new light on the
new women Of China. Taking up the
relations between the sexes and espe-
cially the Chinese method Of getting
a wife, he repeats a conversation with
a young Chinaman who had recently
become engaged to a Chinese maiden
with whom he had never spoken.
1--WE students have a very great ad-
vantage over the old Chinese method
81 hpdinE q wife and getting en-
gagged" said my celestial friend.
What do you mean?" | inquired.
We'll, you see, by the old Chinese
method a mar can never see his wife
until she is brought to his home, un-
less he can bride the middleman to
allow him to stand on the street cor
ner and see her pass by In a cart"
And what advantage do you haver'
1--WE see the girls in church." he
answered. They also can see us.
We have sisters In the girls school;
they have brothers in the college, and
when we go home during vacation we
can learn all about each ether"
THAT Is an advantage"
I'm my judment," he continued, I'VE
have a better method than even you
foreigners have"
How is that"
well you see," he continued, aft
er we have selected the lady we want,
we can have a middleman go and ask
the lady herself"
But" ] objected, Eve can get SO
much better acquainted by our
method"
Yes, that's true" he admitted, but
doesn't it make you awfully angry if
you ask a girl to marry you and she
refusesc"
1t was necessary TO admit that there
were advantages in the middlcman
method which had lever occurred to
me, and while ! was not ready to &C
knowledge hat his ncw-found method
was better than mine ! could still see
that the force which brought it about
was bringing woman out Of her Sc
clusiOn and placing her on a level
with her brother and her future hus-
band.

some rather exciting experiences.
There was no little surprise on the
part Of the public when Theo-
dore, Jr., upon completion of his col
lege course two years ago, chose a
business career as his life work, and
still more wonder was aroused when
he took employment in a Connecticut
carpet factory in order to gather
knowledge at first hand of the practi-
cal side of carpet manufacture. He
started at the lowest round of the lad
der, as an unskilled workman at a
small salary. OF course he was pro-
noted as he mastered the intricacies
of the business, but he continued to
live quietly in a modest boarding
house. Many persons were skeptical
