NOT Welded TO THE TRUTH
Descendants OF the Original Ananiss
Evidently still Flourish In Prov
Inces Of China.

The honesty and frankness of the
Chinese has often been matter for
travellers tales; but, according to
Frank Wallace, author OF THE Big
Game of Central and Western China"
1t Is only the inhabitants Of the coast
provinces who are distinguished for
veracity, says the New York Post.
In the course of his excursion to the
Cobb desert to supply takin and 9TH
er rare mammals to the British muse
UNI. he suffered much Inconvenience
and few misfortunes from the ina
bility of the natives to tell the unvar-
nished truth.
Two incidents he recountsd have
the saving grace of humor. He came
once upon a region, where pheasants
were plentiful, and II he had had dogs,
he might have enjoyed first-rate COW
ert shooting. When he questioned his
guides as to their numbers, a certain
celebrated Ananias set about recount
ing the details OF ride where birds
were plentiful.
Suddenly" he declared, my horse
SHE'D. My gun was slung on my back.
Both barrels went on. l looked around
and there were three dead pheasRnts
in the road!'
1t was this same man who. one day
when the conversation turned on csle-
brated travellers, saw chance too
good to be missed. Marco Poio's
name had just been mentioned
Marco Polo," said the man In
casual manner, Ticking off the end Of
his cigar. 'Oh, yes, my old father
was his guide. A nice man. He came
from Russia How old was hef WE'LL
never saw him myself; 1t was be-
fore my time. About forty-nve,
should say. He had a grand horse
he brought with him all the way from
his own country. He gave It to my
father. but the poor beast died from
grief when the old man pegged out"
Ib~would seem that this was just
the sort of person on whom Marco
Polo, when he travelled In that part OF
the world, actually depended for in
formation.

Wash Silk Waists.

Wash silk for wear with spring tail
ored costumes will be accompanied
by four-in-hand ties in mannish eff
feet, if southern style forecasts are to
be believed At Aiken and Asheville
women who golf and take long walks
for reducing which is always much
in vogue about this time of year
wear short skirts of corduroy or
tweed above boots of the new wash
abletan leather which mud does not
stain; jaunty Norfolk or Mackinaw
coats and soft wash silk shirts with
turned back link cuffs, flaring collars
that open rather deeply at the throat
and four-in-hand ties of knitted silk.
The very latest notion in such ties is
the rainbow effect, a broad tie in neu-
trail toned gray silk, having cross
wise bands of bright color set mid
way of the ends. Several colors are
used in combination and the rainbow
effect is both smart and gay.
