note how this home manufacture OF
lace in Annoy parallels the lace max
Ing In the homes of Ireland.
Large quantities of Indian yarn are
also imported into Annoy. The Chinese
have crude weaving machine which
they use In weaving the coarse, rough
cloth used in the country, and this also
provides employment for many women
of the family.
occasionally after many years the
men return TO their Chinese homes and
purchase or adopt son for their Chi
nese wife, so their ancestors may be
properly revered. and they themselves
may have some one 10 look after their
graves. Having thus provided for the
future, they return to their adopted
land. only to come again to China b
spend their later years and die on their
native soil In many cases the men
never return, and the wives left behind
wait patiently year after year In vain.
At the highest point on the mountain
at the entrance to Annoy harbor, more
than 1880 feet above the sea and vfsi-
bic, for miles around, stands a pagoda
over 300 years old called the Southern
Sentinel" 1t is said to have been
erected by faithful wife who had
watched for years for the return OF
her husband, but who. as she grew old,
fearing she might not live until he
came, erected this monument 50 that
he might not think her unmindful Of
hi.

The Women of Amov

HE internal troubles of China and
the threatened overthrow of the
Yuan Shin Kai administration have
thrown the province Of Annoy promin-
entity into the limelight dnrins the past
few weeks
Farming Is the chief industry OF the
Annoy native, but there are compare
lively few young men in the province.
The male population Of whole villages
sometimes will be found to be limited
TO old men and boys Many OF the wo-
men who were married within the last
decade are grass widows, their hus-
bands having left for the south soon
after marriage, nothing having been
heard from them since.
To support themselves the women
engage in the making of lace. Some
years ago an enterprising foreigner
started the women of Annoy making
lace, and they have followed 1t with
such success that Annoy lace Is one OF
the most fashionable trimmings OF the
day.
The designs are usually convention
al and ut times. with permission, some
designs are copied. The thread Is I'm
ported from Belfast. and the lace ia
made entirely by hand. Women and
girls, often at their homes, as they
chanieal motions. become skillful lace
makers, though in many instances they
are young and in almost all cases un-
intelligent. The pattern Ia worked ont

These dainty little aprons also make
very good articles for sale at these same
fairs, and the devoted worker will make
a number of them If she has the time.
One such dainty apron Is shown IN
the Illustration. 1t has a shape which
will fit any figure, and by making the
belt of beading With ribbon run through
it. the dimensions can be adjusted to
suit individual needs. Usually these
aprons are made OF fine lawn, trimmed
with lace, but sometimes one sees silk
and even heavy linen
The designs embroidered on them
vary, but one which follows the out
line of the apron is always good. AS
the patterns for these designs are to
be purchased and transferred by the
use Of a hot iron the stamping can be
done at home, which is always an
economy and convenience. The en-
broidery design can e obtained by
sending 10 celts to the Office of this
paper.

every woman and 1t Is one Of the
articles that are simple OF construction.

Making such a set of underwear as
the one illustrated is really like doing
fancy work. The underwaist requires
care in the finish OF the neck and arm
holes and also Of the line of closing.
The belt at the waist should be fitted
on the little wearer and the buttons
placed where they are needed by the
individual little one. The drawers
are closed and the petticoat has Just
a little fulness. The trimming Of the
petticoat may consist OF numbers OF
tucks with insertions and edging. or IT
may be merely hem with a single row

Featherstitching along the hem Is al

III AVE you ever stopped moment

your children and yet how very little
YOU know them? Have you not often
heard a mother say that she did not
understand her daughter? II she didn't
understand, who's 10 Jlame? Surely
a mother Is given more opportunities to
beco.ae familiar with every charac-

close relationship she bears toward her

from the time they are little toddIers.
As they older grow have little conf

ct the time when you, too. were a
child; tell them Of your own childish
hopes, fears and disapp 1intments.

CHILD'S LINGERIE SET.

# is always a pleasure to make the
