HAVE ALLIES GIVEN JAPAN
 FREE HAND IN CHINA7

TOKYO, May r. The Chinese question Is increasingly the topic of the day in Japan. Visitors returning from Picking report that interest there is centered as much on what Japan will do as on what the revolutionists are accomplishing in the south. The refusal of Japan to hand over the salt revenue surplus to the government of Yuan Shi Kai and the exodus of frightened Chinamen from Peking are considered here as evidence of the growing tensenes sand danger of the Chinese situation.
 Insistent reports in the Japanese press. recognizing Japan's special po- sition in China, have created the i'm pression that the entente allies, in consideration of Japan's aid in the present war, may be disposed to cede some of their own interests in China without in any way encrOaching upon the integrity of that country. There are no indications at present, how ever, that the entente allies have granted Japan a free hand Tn dealing with China, as has been reported in some quarters.

Informal Affairs of Len
 ten Season

"HE Country club dinner dance the
 teas and 1uncheons at the smart
 IL club and hotels, will all be meeting places for society today in both the art ernoon and the evening"
 While apparently quite the opening days of Lent have found society occupied with much that is attractive and gay, though in more unobstrusive way than during the regular social season. Bridge IS eX- tremely popular in the afternoon and has been the excuse for innumerable smaller gatherings, with informal luncheons pre- ceding the games or informal tea drink ing after.
 In spite of the few cool days everyone is kept out of doors for a part of the day at any rate and the roadways about the suburbs with motor cars in response to the call of the open. The golf links and the tennis courts at the different clubs are always the scene of natty attired group of sport loving folks and are fairly alive with players.
 Fashion week has been the inspira- tion of many delightful gatherings among the fashionable and now that all is ended society will return to her quiet rest only to be awakened by the charity ball dur ing the Easter season.

 About 1899, about fifteen years ago, had a severe case of Typhoid Fever and a relapse, which left me in very bad condition, which got worse all the time. Was so nervous, could not stay in the room alone for five minutes, ana was irregular. My nervousness was an awful worry to me and my friends, and I couldn't sleep for four or i've nights at a time. The doctors would often have to give me something to make me sleep. =. Could do none or my work and had to keep cook.
 I then began taking Cardui and after had taken half bottle I felt l was improving and not so very long after wards I was able to go to church. . After I had taken four or five bottles, was able to turn off my cook and do my own work, and I got back my correct mental condition, for I had been so ner- vous and absent minded, since my iil- ness was also able to return to school and resume my studies and my piano lessons at Trinity College where I was in attendance"

Delicious Old Fashioned Dish

"ButtermilE Soup: Take fresh butter milk; put as much as required for the family into kettle and let it come to a boil. Now take about cup of flour and pour upon it just enough of the hot but termilk to moisten it. Stir well and rub Tn the hands. It must be quite dry when rubbed and fall into small pieces as dough does when mixing bread. Now stir these "rivelchies," as the old folks call them, into the boiling buttermilk. Let it cook till quite thick. Add salt to taste. Dip into soup plates and sprinkle sugar over to suit taste. Some mix just enough beaten egg, so as to form strings as it drops into the soup and is stirred around Others like bread crumbs added to the soup. It may be sweetened as you cook it, but we prefer to let each one sweeten it to taste. This is delicious old-fash- toned dish. Some one asked for it quite a long time ago and I have not seen it published It will be full of little Jumps when properly made. MRS. I. H."

Lords of Creation Sometimes Fall Before Bargain Signs As
 We'll As Feminine Shoppers
Fly DOLLY pALRY ynPLE

MT is always the woman in the funny pages who goes chasing after bar ~ gains'' signs, and bankrupts the fam fly by annexing 99 gold-plated canary cages because they are offered at re- duction of 1 per cent each.
 The man in the case is shown paying for his wife's extravagant pursuit of the bargain mirage in the sweat of his per- fectly good brow.
 For this-as for some brands of break fast food-"there's a reason"-the fem mine bargain-hunter sprang into being at a time when all the printed wit of the day was evolved by "sex masculine;" men saw, and were amused by the antics of women who chased the 'marked-down sales and found joy in the atmosphere of the bargain counter; the fact that man-proud man-never indulges in bar gain-hunting" was kept deep, dark, dead secret. inviolate in the confidence of the whole of mankind.
 Perhaps the women s-righters' began the dissemination of the doctrine that men did some funny and human things occasionally that they even found some pleasure in searching out bargains and purchasing things they have no use for merely because they are cheap"
 It must have been one of the original men-haters who first questioned the al- together righteousness of their lords and masters. Be that as it may, the fact re- mains that today no distinction is made in the eyes of the world between men and women "bargain-hunters.
 The 'comic supplements" have even pie tured MT. B. Hunter at work at his favorite pastime.
 The man bargain hunter is we'll known to the sales people of the shops.
 Not long ago a pretty blonde saleswom- an in one of the big millinery shops was relating little story about a customer of hers-a man-who always showed up" at the bargain sales"
 If Id divulge the mans name that this story is about, people in this town would nearly die laughing" she said. 'He is very influential power in this com munity; moreover, he has very good taste and he hasn't missed a bargain sale of hats for years; he differs from the aver age woman bargain-hunter in that he buys things'
 Not women's hats-surely,' some one suggested.
 Yes, for his wife" said the saleslady,
