 privileges, but according to the proclama- tion their surrender is unconditional.
 The third edict informed the viceroys and provincial governors of the retire ment of the throne from political power and instructed them to continue doing their duty and to preserve order through out the land.
 It is declared that the step taken by the throne was to meet the wishes of the people.
 The Boy Ruler The boy ruler has been on the throne since November 14, 1908, when the Em- peror Kwan-Su, his uncle, died. His father, Prince Chun, was appointed re- gent and was the chief figure in China for three years.
 Surrounded by the princess of the im- perial clan and Manchu officials with reactionary ideas. the regent was brought face to face with a revolutionary move ment In favor of modern reforms. He endeavored to placate both parties, but ended by causing general dissatisfaction, which led to his resignation December 6, 1911. The promise of constitutional gov ernment made by the Dowager Empress on her death bed in 1908 was not full filled in any way until May last year. In that month an imperial edict abol- ished the old grand council which later. with the court, held absolute power. and substituted a constitutional cab inet.
 Result Spreads Revolutionary ideas had been spread ing in the meantime. The southern provinces declared against the contin- uation of Manchu rule and broke into open revolt. After much fighting the revolutionists proclaimed a republic at Ranking in December, und Dr. Sun Yat Sen accepted the presidency on De- cember 29.
 Negotiations between the republicans and the imperialists followed and an armistice was arranged. This was not strictly observed, but the negotiations continued, with the result that the Manchu rulers. seeing that China proper was almost entirely in favor of the republican idea and that the out lying dependencies of Thibet, Turkes- tan, Mongolia and Manchuria were breaking away, decided that 1t was their best policy to yield to the general demand,

 dred."

The dancing fifty of the Playhouse club. which includes Mrs. Alice Long worth. Postmaster General Hitchcock, Preston Gibson, Margaret Draper, Miss Helen Taft. MT and Mrs. Joseph Geiter and the Misses Meyer, are eagerly practicing the new dance, the jelly wabble." This dance, which is Oriental in effect, is rapidly dis placing the turkey trot' in society esteem.
 The Jelly wabblen movement is danced to very slow music. It con sists of a series of prolonged trem- bles or shakings of the body, com bined with deep swaying from side to side.

NO PLACE FOR IDLE WOMAN
She Must Join the Ranks of Workers or Be Left to Wither in Utter
 Loneliness.

Every one nowadays recognizes the absurdity of idleness. For what could be more ridiculous than the idle wom- an who can find no one to idle with her? So strenuous has modern life become that idleness is completely shorn of its charm, and the girl who either by nature or cultivation pos sesses an idle temperament is apt to find herself an outsider.
 She must do something and do it well if she does not wish to wither of loneliness. There is no place nova days for the idle woman. Even in the supposedly idle class of the very rich she scarcely has a foothold.
 Turn where she will, she will find the woman of her set doing things. The modern woman Is steeped to the eyes in work; charities claim her time, new and philanthropic move ments hold her attention and humani- ty knocks insistently at her door. She could not idle if she would and keep her place in the rush of modern prog ress.
 The fact that idleness has fallen into disrepute and is disdained even by fashionable women is a blessing to the girl who must work from ne oessity She has no longer to explain and defend her own strenuous atti- tude. Her friends are too busy them selves, whether from mere inclinatic n or positive necessity, to enter into arguments on the impropriety of mans work for women.
 So it behooves every girl GO choose some congenial work and thoroughly prepare herself for it. so + the day of necessity comes she may turn to the thing for which she is fitted and to work which is congen,al in order to earn livelihood
 The young girl of today has every thing on her side. She is infinitely better off than the young girl of ten years ago, and if she's wise she will avail herself of her opportunities Exchange
