although both of these papers continue
resolutey to appear, and are the chief in
struments in holding together the move
ments they represent. The recent Chi
nese-Japanese editors conference at Dali
rem entertained several women editors,
among them Mrs. Chang, of the daily
paper Hsing Shih-pao, which is owned by
her husband and father-in-law, but edited
by herself.
At this time (three years ago. there
were over 100 such papers, one in al
most every city in China; but the strin-
gent press laws following 1875 reac-
ton have cut down the number, substan-
TALLY with the disappearance of Young
Chinas free press. The precedent and the
opportunity remain, however, and only
await the next turn on the political whiri-
gig for the fulfilment of another women $
invasion into the social life of China.
THE invasion in social life most notice
able in Japan is the flood of girls who
in recent years have entered the world of
business. In China this phenomenon is
completely absent, and shows no signs of
developing for years to come. Miss G. II.

claims to be the only woman in China
who works in a mans office, and unless
other eases of purely patriotic" employ
ment furnish like exceptions, her claim is
literally true. There are no Chinese
typists, no Chinese shopgirls, no Chinese
ticket takers although there are coming
to be many actresses, not any women at
all, except Eurasian and foreign girls, in
the endless business employments that
they occupy in the Western and the Jap
anese worlds. The up-to-date Y. w. G. A.
trains many capable stenographers and
typists; but for employment under wo-
men only, as in mission schools, hospitals,
and purely private office work. This ia
boo against women's employment is even
supported by Young China; for the revo-
luton is primarily one of mind, and the
new opportunities it stresses for women
are distinctly mental opportunities.
A more material revolution. however,
has introduced Chinese women of the
lowest classes to factory labor. The cot
ton mills of Shanghai alone employ $4,000
women and young girls twelve hours day
and night, with sixteen-hollr day on
Saturdays, for wages that average twelve
to fifteen cents day. The middle classes
can enforce their boycott on the business
world; but modern industry is catching
the women of the poor in the gigantic net

SAYS LEMON PIE CASTS
BLIGHT UPON COOKING
William Allen White Declares 1t One
Form of Food that Has No
Justification.

Emporia. Kans.. Aug. 7.-William AL
len White. who stirred all Kansas to
the grass roots by denouncing fruit
salad, now demands that lemon pie be
eliminated. He says:
Lemon pie is one form of food
which has no justification. II does
not cheer nor inebriate: II furnishes
nei.ner nutriment nor digestive as
sistance. It has not enough acid to
produce a well-defned tummy ache
nor starch enough to produce indiges-
ton. The person who discovered
lemon pie turned into a culinary blind
alley. from which there is no escape.
The miserable pie casts a blight upon
cookery. puts a blot on the escutcheon
of pie industry, and. because il is in
troduced into bills of fare of mis-
guided households. il descends from
sire to son, and from mother to dauGh
ter. shedding its baneful influence
upon generation after generation. The
same goes for lemon cream pie. lemon
meringue. lemon cocoanut pie, and
lemon custard pie. They are all no
good is our verdict"
