They generally wear short skirts.
My ricksha man had on clean long
dress Sunday. He had to hold it up
as he ran. 1t is terrible when it
rains. Then everybody wants rick
sha. They try to dress for the rain.
Some wear straw rain coats. Some
have the biggest hats. The merry
widows we wore some years ago can
hardly compare with them. They
wear straw shoes and no stockings.
When they run they often loose their
shoes. One day I saw man gather
ing up these old shoes and I suppose
he sells them back to their owners for
a song. They get wet and cold.
When they go home they have no fire
to dry their clothing or warm their
chilled bones. They sleep in their
wet clothing. Is it any wonder that
they get such colds they die? Some
one told me that there were many fel-
lows who did not get warm all Win
ter. Many Of the houses are of
stone and tyle. These have no win
dows and do not look very COM
Portable. Others are made of straw.
These have fresh air at least. China
is poor, but she ought not be. The
people have the resources. They are
industrious. If they had a little diff
ferent religion they would be much
better off. DR.. Macklain said they
spend rs per cent of their incomes
for incense and stuff to burn before
their idols. When they spend this
money for education China will be in
place to help herself.
The people are beginning to real
ize the value of christian education.
I could tell you a story about place
not far from here who asked for a
christian teacher to start day school.
She can teach the Bible or anything
she chooses. They want a christian
teacher because that is the only kind
that is any good: But this is not my
story, I must leave it for the right
one to tell. One man offered two
hundred dollars year to christian
school. This amount he has been
burning up before idols. They do
need more christian teachers. It is
up to Christian America to supply
them.
This afternoon three Chinese girls
are here. They are learning to tat.
l have been trying to show them how
while l write this letter. Leila has
made nearly half Of a jabot. Chang
Feng Marie has been knitting a
pretty white jacket. Anna is making
Chinese shoes. Leila has been teach
ing me to use this typewriter. She
has written part of this letter. l
want her to send you little note but
she had to go home for supper so
could not. They are such interest
ing girls. I wish you could see how
different they are from the girls who
do not know about Jesus Christ.
Yesterday went to a revival meet
ing in the Ku Lang church. 1t was
for women only. There were many
women present. They had been on
the street enjoying the New Year fes-
tiviting and wondered in. Quite a
number raised their hands, signifying
their, desire to become christians.
There are revival meeting all over
the city this week. The people are
not busy and like to come. It is
good time to reach the people.
Perhaps you would like to know
little about my present surroundings
and why am not in Nangchang.
Miss Brown of Nangchang was here
attending the Eddy meetings. She
waited after the close until l came. In
the meantime she talked to Mr.. Will
son about my coming to language
school. AS a result she made it pos
sible for me to be here. When I en-
tered they said I would not receive
very good treatment because they do
not like late corners. There were 7
other late folks so we have class.
We are getting along beautifully.
The work is fascinating. They have
divided the class so we can use the
same teacher for two Of us. In our
class are: Mr.. and Mrs. Shafer, 60
ing to the William Mast College,
Kiukiang, Miss Blanche Search, 60
ing to the Knowles Bible Training
school, Kiukiang, and myself. We
are very much pleased with the Gvis-
ion. Miss Search and I room togeth-
'er. We have been together Since we
left Buffalo. 1t is very nice to have a
congenial friend here. We live in the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
home here. Misses Loomis, Youtsey
and Frank are the regular residents.
1t is a very nice place to live and
we feel very fortunate to be allowed
to come here.
I have not been to my station yet
and do not expect to 60 before fall.
They are very busy now moving, into
the new house. I am getting little
