is always pretty and of very satisfac-
tory weight, cotton crepe is much liked
and lawns and batistes make very pref

How determined Chinese girls ran
from school to fight with the
revolutionists, is part of an interest
ing story told by Mary E. Carleton, a
medical missionary, in a recent issue
of the China Press, Shanghai. DR..
Carleton says:
After the battle of Foochow the
women of China were appealed to to
help the cause of the revolution. So
much attention was shown them by
men of eminence that it turned their
heads. Entertainments were hoated to
benefit the cause, women took part i n
political meetings. and solicited funds
and a regiment of women petitioned
the commander-in-chief Of the army
for a chance to fight, and were told
that when all the men had been killed
they might go.
Several girls ran away from our
mission school to go to war. They
We're pursued but were armed and
threatened to shoot if interfered with.
The day they were TO sail for
Shanghai, two women missionaries
Were sent to induce them to return,
and their experience was a lively one.
The girls were in a room and some
one was trying TO make them give UP
their idea of going, but they shouted,

twos, dressed In neat uniforms, with

These girls had been told by the
military governor that they could not

had been ordered to allow no ship TO
leave port with Chinese women on
board. So when our missionaries got
to the steamer they were assured that
the girls would not go. The officer
in charge of the girls told the custom
officers that they were going with the
military governors knowledge. Our
ladies' talked to the girls, who showed
signs of weakening. The officer seeing
this ordered the interview of.
Wonders cease in China, a
country where women have held a most
mental place, have been bartered and
sold as men barter and sell cattle,
where infanticide Is not yet put away.
where in all mission schools Il has
been thought necessary to shield and
chaperon girls carefully. Yet in the
recent revolution girls and women
have given US a spectacle Of daring
and blind fanaticism equal to the dark
ages or the Boxer movement"

Cross-titch on other heavy materials

Between Two Fires.

Dear Miss Doom:
Many thanks for your kind Easter
greetings. which you published in Satur-
DAYS Star. AS | am a constant reader
of the Star [ consider it my duty to
render you thanks. Miss Doom, l have
read your advice and seen the effects it
has had on others, so 7 feel confident in
asking your help. I'M % years old.
At an early age l lost my mother and was
placed in a home until my father married
again. Things went all right until q
couple of years later and my step-sister
was born. / then worked for people in
different places until my Oldest sister
married. AS the position / held was either
Il waitress or a nurse I found it lard to
cultivate the friendship of any girl friend.
| also am very. backward Dit seems
strange that a girl of my age should be
BACKWARD and never attended a ball or
dance in my life, so never formed friend
ship with any girl. My sister. with whom
/ live. does not speak to another sister
of mine, and when she found out that l
spoke to her she acted very mean to me.
She told me | couldn't live with her and
should never come near her again. 1t was
when / was thinking of these things that
YOUR words brought to me hope. l am
sure you can tell me which is the best
plan for me, as my sisters is the only
place I have. Will you please tell me If
it would be proper for me to take a fur
nished room. as ! am determined 1 shall
be Just as Independent as she is? About
~ Year dSO L was u"1lrOuuCeu 10 d young
man two years younger than l. He was
always very kind to me and in many
ways Sufficed for any amount of girl
friends. Although he Is q today, he looks
no older than 10. He also lost his parents
at an early age. He has asked me to
marry him IN a years time he says
Of this, but she says / ought to be
ashamed of myself and should get a fell
low my W age. l have told him this,
but he says If / were t~hirty-flve he would
be just as glad. I would not like to hear
from You that 1t is wrong, as / think the
world of him. [ would not like to live an
old maid all my life. Thanking you for
YOUR kindness and hoping to see my
answer in tomorrow's Star, remain
] am certainly glad that my Easter
talk was a help to you and appreciate
your acknowledgements of it. 1t is
your type of reader hat makes work
on this column a pleasure.
1t is a pity that your friendship with
your sister should cause the sister
with whom you live to bear any ILL
feeling toward you. Family estrange-
ments are sad affairs, for, after all, in
times of trouble it is only on those
who are bound to us by ties of blood
we feel at liberty to call for
sympathy and help. Although | think
it will be better for you to remain in
your sisters home | certainly do not
advise you to do so on the terms she
has set. Freedom to follow the die
tates of our w conscience is one of
the first requisites of character de-
velopment. Tell you sister that her
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-04-13

quarrel with your other sister does
not affect our relations and that you
cannot accept a home with her on the
conditions stated. Can't you bring
about a reconciliation? Have a seri-
Gus talk with both your sisters, re-
minding them how grieved your mother
would be TO know that they are not on
friendly terms. If you can get n of
them to make the advances I am sure
the other will be willing to meet her
halfway.
II you desire to take a furnished
room 1t will be proper for you to do
so. A girl who is digniied and re-
served will remain that way whether
she is in her own home or in a board
ing-house, and at times the latter way
of living gives her an added oppor-
tunity to develop strength of charac-
ter by throwing her on her own re-
sources and compelling her to decide
questions that do not usually arise in
the home.
[ wish you would join the Young
women's Christian Association in order
not only TO enjoy the educational adj
vantages offered there, but also to
have an opportunity to become &C
quainted with a group of young women
who have a serious aim in life and
who will, I am sure, be only too glad
to welcome you into their circle. You
will find that it will be easier to make
the right lind of friends there than at
dances. The relation with girls you
meet at the latter is not apt to be-
come more han an acquaintanceship.
And now to consider the case of the
young man; If you are really in love
with him and are sure that his affec-
ton is sincere there is no reason why
a couple of years difference in your
ages should mar your happiness. I'm
happiness comes only when either the
husband or wife fails to keep pace with
the others development. If the
woman becomes so ~engrossed in her
household affairs that she forgets there
is a big world outside in which men
and women are accomplishing things
of which she should know and be able
to talk, her husband will fail to find
pleasure in her conversation. Burned
meat and high butcher bills interest
the tired business man only when he is
called upon to eat the former or pay
the latter. He does not care to have
either served UP to him after a hard
days work. The husband, too, should
not become SO welded to his business
affairs that he forgets his wife has in
terest in other things.
But, my dear girl-and it is indeed a
big but-don't under any circumstances
marry to escape being an "old maid
II n does not meet "the right man"
the latter state is really quite enjoy
able. 1t is something to feel that you
are independent and able to care for
yourself. Although a happy marriage
is the ideal state of existence it can
never be happy when it is entered only
as an escape from some other fate.
Besides you are far to young to have
any such fears. You are Just entering
young womanhood, and some of the
happiest days of your life are before
you. II o think the world" of this
young man and he is worthy of you
by all means marry him next Christ
mas and may it be a very happy day
for you.
