CHINESE WOMEN ADVANCING

The Chinese who had been sitting
and musing for many, many years
have now stood up in fairly large mum
bers and begun to be active; while the
Japan women in Pekin remain in their
seats their Chinese sisters often dance
briskly. This is what Madame Hioki
the wife of the Japanese minister to
the Chinese Republic, said on her re
turn to Toxic a few days ago. She
had been in Chosen, China and Chill
before. She was in Seoul after that
atrocious murder of the unfortunate
queen, went to the Chinese capital in
the wake of the boxer trouble, and
this time had to face the unpleasant
ness of the Tsingtao campaign and
the subsequent prolonged negotiations
between the Toxic and Pekin govern
ments. Fifteen years ago says she,
there was no Japanese lady beside
herself in Pekin, and many army Of
ficers used to come to her house to
ask for Japanese cooking, soon that
she felt as if she had gone to China to
conduct Japanese restaurant for
men craving for native dishes. But
now, the diplomats wife goes on to OBJ
serve, there are quite delegation of
Japanese ladies there, and when they
meet Chinese ladies in society
feeling of racial and culture af
finity seems to bind them in friend
ship the sooner. Fifteen years ago
when Madame Hioki asked Chinese
minister of state to allow his wife to
call on her, his reply was that he
would do so 10 years later. so that
his lady might go to school and pre-
pare in the meantime. And sure
enough. the Chinese women have been
transformed of late years and are now
wide awake to respond to whatever
influence foreign ideas may hiring to
bear upon them.

gruelling periods OF the hardest kind
Of football Trinity ana Tufts ended a
bitter struggle here this afternoon in
a scoreless tie. Both teams had cl ose
approaches 10 a coveted score, but that
merely proved how evenly matched
were the elevens.
Near the end OF the third period.
after Tufts by a series OF brilliant
flashes of speed and strategy had run
the ball down 10 Trinity's 25-yard line,
where the Blue and Gold were holding
desperately, Wescott got off long for
ward pass TO Sanborn, who received 1t
behind Trinity's goal posts. There he
was tackled so hard by Morris that the
ball few from his arms and, though re-
covered by Thorndike and Agar, the
mass was disallowed and the ball
brought out as a touchback.
Trinity man9uvred three times so
that Nordstrum might try place KICK
two of which he missed by narrow mar
gins, the third failing utterly because
Breslin made u wild pass. with -FOUR
minutes 20 play in the last period,
Brickley brought the ball close 70 ana
directly in front Of Tufts goal posts,
whereupon Jarvis, Trinity's drop kicker,
was sent in for try from the 3O-yard
line. The pass was not perfect and the
Kick WAS blocked.
The final period saw fierce fighting
on Trinity's territory, Tufts making
first down and then losing the ball be
cause OF ffteen.yard penalty for
holding. From a difficult angle on the
25-vard line Parks tried drop Kick
for goal. bu, Nordstrum broke through,
blocking the ball so that Jackson re-
covered il.
