After our banquet was well under way, note came from the wife of another legation official saying she had kept her dinner party waiting | for nearly two hours-that her guest of honor, Prince P'u, had failed to come and she had just heard that he was al cur dinner. As we were approaching our last course it was of course, too ! late for him to partake of the other meal. However, after dinner he was conducted to the other house to pre- sent his apologies. We were all very glad that he had made the mistak e. as he is by far the most prominent of the Manchu royal family.

 I especially enjoyed long talk with
 our hostess, Mrs Sun, who is strictly
 Chinese. None of our advanced women Ideas for her She wanted to know what l thought of dancing, and even though her husband was leading the cotillion, I could see that her ideas of propriety were shocked. She was quite frank in her disapproval of the split skirts" that the foreigners were wearing and thought that the eastern wadded kimonos were much prettier than our low cut gowns and false jewels" only Chinese jewelry is true and pure in her eyes. After looking at some of the Chinese who were dressed in foreign gowns especially one who had on her French gown wrong side out, I also felt my approval of wadded kimonos, It is indeed interesting to watch new China.
