CHINA'S PRESIDENT ORDERS
CHANGE IN STYLE OF DRESS

San Francisco, Cal, January 3.-The
centuries-old style in clothing for both
men and women of China have come
under the disapproyal of the cabinet of
the republic and an edict has been is
sued calling upon the women to aban-
don their trousers for the occidental
skirt and the men to give up their
comfortable loose clothes for the sack
business and conventional evening
clothes of the Caucasian A copy of
the edict has been received by Yung
Yew, counsel here for the Chinese re-
public, together with pictures of cloth
ing prescribed for both sexes. The
vernacular papers here printed the ed
icit and illustrations yesterday. The
business derby and the formal silk
hat are the only two mentioned for
men Nothing is said of headgear for
women, who, aside from hair orna-
ments, never have worn head cover
ings.
Men are allowed high calfskin and
low tan shoes, while women are limited
to high shoes to suit their taste.
Besides shoes, only three articles of
dress are prescribed for women. One,
a loose-ftting garment, on the lines of
kimono, is for house wear. An ex-
tremely conventional plated skirt AMI
shirtwaist evidently are supposed to
complete her wardrobe.
At the expressed wish of President
Yuan Shi Kai the edict which was
received several days ago, was held
until New Years for publication

DYNAMITERS MEASURED
And THEN PUT TO WORK

Leavenworth, Kansas, January b
With the taking of their bertillion
measurements and their assignments
to prison work today, the thirty-three
union men who entered the federal
prison after their conviction as dyna-
mite conspirators, entered upon the
routine of federal prisoners.
Those who were able to sleep were
awakened from their first night in the
cell by the sounding of the reveile
which echoes thro' the stone and steel
cell house at $50 a. m Excepting
Herbert S. Hockin, former secretary
of the Iron Workers Union, who has
been labelled the betrayer of his fell
lows, the men bunked two in a cell on
"double-decked beds The cells, like
all those accorded new prisoners, were
were bare, in marked contrast to those
of the old inmates, who nearly all have
covered their walls with pictures, post
cards and souvenirs.
After breakfast the men were called
up one by one, examined and question
ed as to their fitness for the different
lines of work about the prison.

FIGHTING SPIRIT IS
ABROAD In new YEAR
Several Negroes in Court
Yesterday

That the fighting spirit is abroad in
the New Year, as it is accustomed
to be, is manifested by the state OF
affairs in the recorders court this

all negroes, were arraigned at the bar
of justice
Without exception they were given
fines by Mayor Lowrey, these ranging
from S. to $40, as the gravity of the

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
Don't Talk Too Much-Monkey-Ho

 A Handicap in Business.

While all women wish to be good conversationalists, few realize that it the most popular. This fact was borne in upon me at a dinner party recently, when one woman, whose rep utation for bTilliancy dominated the affair at table by S'jabbering inces- santIy,'' as a gentleman confidently remarked when we were having coffee in the palm room later.

ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
The Troubles of Step MothersCn- reasonable Resentment of Chil-
 dren-Two Typical Cases.

I recently saw 8 play called '"The Superior Miss Pallender" It was given by the graduates of a dramatic school of acting, and was remarkably wish to speak, but of the theme, that of a widow who wished to marry again. She had four children and so feared their opposition that she came near losing her lifeS real happiness.
 The older daughter, a superior young woman. voiced this sentiment, eff the children of a. mother wishing to marry the second time condone her actions they are equally immoral
 Can this be the feeling that impels so many children to resent renaLriage on the part of father or mother? Or is it merely resentment that any one is coming to take the real parent s place?
 | have consulted several step chil- part the latter feeling dominates. In one ca-se this sentiment was carried So far that the step daughter, mar ried and rich, would not even recOg- nize her fathers new wife, or greet him when they met on the street.
 When he died, n1ased most tender ly by the second wife, his daughter, filled with remorse, rushed to his bed side, imploring him to forgive her and then asking the step mother to for give her also When the grave had closed over her father she forgot the death bed remorse,- and could not have been more bitter in her denunciation of the step mother. The latter had to pawn her engagement ring and took in sewing
 Is this sentiment loyalty to the real mother, or mere common antago- nisrn against the step mother? Anothera step mother who deserves | to be placed in the niche where an gels dwells, was a widow nine years, after being a. wife nine months Then she married a WidOWer with two sons. She was made the second time a wid- ow on her wedding day. The two children were left to her charge, prac- tically little strangers. They were ugly and resentful, but she was loyal to the memory of their father who had been a. husband only for one day. As the years rolled on, she worked and struggled to give bhen an educa- tion. One day the doctor told her never faltered. Then came the blow leaving a note that he couldn't stand life with a ''steo mother.
 Following this the second step son forged his employers name and the e'step Inother,'' weakened by physical distress, and torn by the note left by the suicide. still braNsiy saicrificed herself and what little money she had to save the boy from prison.

THERE'S LIBERTY IN LAW.
Crank B. McAlIister in the Congrega- tionaliSt.)

Crank B. McAl1ister in the Congrega- tionalist.)
 The only man in the world really free is the one who has come under au- thority. To learn the rules of the game of life and to play it according to Hoyle is the way to win. The mo- ton that freedom means lawlessness is always and everywhere a mischiev- ous error.
 Government Of any Kind must seem naught but irksome restraint to imma- ture minds. A boy in prep school may refer to certain sets of regulations as punk and to his instructors as .sboobs'' who are foolish enough to en- force such absurd regulations. I'm migrants from other lands where wise government is .rare have a way of coming into frequent conflict with the police. the school authorities and the board of health in America-a realm they had pictured as tue Hand of the free.''.
 do not wonder that children often assume that our rules are devised on- ly to plague them. Nor am. sur prised that men from countries where laws seem to spring only from the ca price of some despot come to cherish hatred for everything that looks like authority. Any man may fall in cas- fly with anarchistic theories whose ex- perience with government has been that of oppression and constraint. The fact is that law is about the
 most friendly thing in the world: Obe- dience is the road to freedom. The apostle James recognized this when he wrote of the Flaw of liberty" He told us that the way to succeed is to follow the rules.
 Nature should give us hint of the principle. As Ruskin says: There is no such thing as unchartered liberty in the universe. The stars have it not; the earth has it not. the sea has
 it not.' Think for a minute as to what would happen if the earth should wander from it's course with the fires sronsible gait of a drunken man. Such a catastrophe will never happen, sim ply because the earth obeys law. Its rotations, as noted by scientists, have not varied tooth part of a second.
 We work effectively when we pull with the natural forces. It is a mighty hard job to sweep against the wind CT cleave wood across the grain. A railroad train that leaves the track finds not liberty but destruction. Health means simply harmony. We find freedom and peace as we swin g our lives and activities into accord with the laws of Nature, which are the laws of God. This is true whether you are dealing with the body or mind or spirit of man.

DoNrs FOR VISITORS.

Do not expect to be entertained all day. Let your hostess have a few hours to herself. This can be ar ranged if you have letters to write or if you take a. few walks alone.
 Don't leave your room in disorder, and above all, don't make your visit a big burden to the worker in the house, whether mistress or servant. If the former you should offer to help in the little tasks about the house, and undoubtedly you should care for your own room. If there is a maid you should hang up all clothing and care for your room so as to be no carkAs for notice given to the head of the house on account of too much com pany. :
 Don't. monopolize the best chair or the best place in the room just be- cause you are politely offered it by your host.
 Act naturally and don't forget that there are other beings in this world with their rights
 And when you arrive home don't forget to send a, little hote of thanks to your entertainers.
