WOMEN IN THE NEWS.

Washington is faced by a wartime
situation which no other city in the
United States is called upon to face,
and that is the problem of the hous-
ing the 10000 clerical employees, most
ly young unmarried women, expected
to be added to the city's population
before autumn as a result of the vast
ly increased activities of several de-
partments. 1t will be possible to
build barracks for male clerical en-
ployes, but the general opinion is
that young women cannot be herded
into barracks. The occasion there
fore offers an opportunity for we'll to
do women of the capital to do their
bit in novel way and that by "tak-
ing in boarders," though the family
finances do not call for it. An en-
ergetic campaign has already been
started in the capital to meet the
problem in this way, headed by the
wives OF ministers, who already have
placed rooms in their homes at the
disposal of the young women now
pouring into the city to take up cler-
ical work.
DR., Yamei Kin, the only Chinese
woman graduate of an American
medical college, has sailed for the
Orient to gather data on the soy bean
and its value as a nutritive food for
the department of agriculture at
Washington his is the first time that
United States department has given
so much authority to Chinese, and
the fact that it is woman makes it
doubly interesting. DR.. Kin is a
graduate of the Woman's Medical
college of New York and an author
Hy ins her country on domestic sani-
tation and questions OF nutrition, be-
sides being an energetic worker for
the development of civic hygiene in
| China She is the head of the I'm
perial Peiyang Womans Medical
school and hospital, near Picking,
which sends out district nurses to
Chinese slums to teach the people
right living. The imperial infant
asylum in Tien Tsin, the widows
nome, and the girls refuge all come
! under her supervision as head of the
woman's hospital work in northern
China. She makes frequent sojourns
in this country to familiarize herself
with all the latest American meth
DDS and discoveries in hygiene. She
will return to America in October,
bringing to our government the de-
tailed results fher study of the
uses OF the soy bean as a foodstuff,
needed by this country and by the
world in the campaign TO food raising
and conservation.

THE UNITED STATES MARINES.

We are knights of the royal road
Whose end is no mans knowing;
We care not where we are going;
We care not if heavy or light our
load,
Nor if good or ill winds be blowing!
We are the lords of the sovereign
That leads from sea to sea
Adventures all are we;
We've naught but dream to carry
about,
And song for company!
We are the heirs of the ancient quest
OF Ind and of Cathay;
Our ship is in the bay;
The tide we take is at its best,
And it's ready, boys, and away!
We are the vanguard of the land
Alive to the great romance;
our pennOnS leap ana dance;
We hear, beyond the rolling strand,
The rumble of guns in France!
We are the knights of the royal road
Whose end is no mans knowing.
What if i'll winds be blowing?
We have but one creed, we have but
one code
To be going, forever going!

and his sudden death was a great blow

Thunderstruck, Hemstreet turned
from the door, felt in a closet for a

to the door, threw it open and went out

to capture it.
The hall was empty.
He looked to the end toward which
the girl had beckoned. There was the
picture, its figures immOvable as ever.

He arose the next morning shortly
before time for luncheon and stood
looking out on to the street. A cab
drove up to the pension, next door. and
party alighted, which included sew
eral girls. Hemstreet was thunder
struck to recognize in one or these
girls the one who had stood in his hall
way the night before.
1t was now evident that the appari-
ton was flesh and blood and doubtless
on lark. Hemstreet went next door
and asked if there was any passage
way between the pension and his domi-
cile, but the landlady answered him
that the two wings had been thorough
ly cut off from each other. She had a
motive in this since she suspected that
HemStreet had lost property, which
would be laid to some one in her wing.
Hemstreet kept an eye out for the
apparition in the galleries and finally
came upon her. She was an American
with a party Of Americans. After Sc

Episode
By ELINOR MARSH

Arthur Hemstreet, a rich young
American, before settling down to a
career, concluded to spend a season in
Europe Tie sailed from New York to
Naples, thence proceeded to Rome and
later to Florence.
1t is supposed by persons who have
not been in Italy that one sees every
where relics of the ancient Romans.
There are comparatively few such
relics, but there are many of medieval
Italy. The most costly dwellings are
'palazzos," built several centuries ago.
Hemstreet. took a fancy to Florence
and concluded to spend some time
there, so he rented a palazzo, or,
rather, half one, and, hiring servants,
settled himself down, as it were, in the
middle of the sixteenth century.
The building had been divided into
two parts, the part that Hemstreet did
not occupy being occupied for a small
family hotel, Or rather what in Eu-
rope is called pension, which is mid
way between a hotel and a boarding
house.
One rainy afternoon HemStreet, who
had spent most of the day in the pic
ture galleries for which Florence is
noted, came to his palazzo. 1t was so
dark that his servants had lighted the
lamps, and, going upstairs, as he en-
tered the hall on which his bedroom
was located, he was astonished to see
that the hall was double the length he
had supposed it to be. At any rate,
he saw double the lights, but they
were dim, as were the objects they
lighted.
Hemstreet was very much puzzled.
Going into his room he threw off
his wet Overcoat and rubber shoes,
then went out with the intention of
exploring the hall. He was surprised
to see that it ended as he had under
stood it to end with a picture.
Hemstreet was frightened. Surely
something had broken loose in his
brain. He went~to the picture, exam
ined it, saw that it was what he had
supposed it was and went away resolv-
ed to watch himself closely for other
symptoms of a disordered mind. But
he felt as well as he had ever felt,
and after awhile he ceased to worry
about any supposed disorder.
However, he never went upstairs to
his room without looking as soon as he
turned into the hallway to see if it had
been doubled as before But the fig
ures of the picture were always there,
and the hallway was of its usual
length.
One night when Hemstreet was in
bed he card, or fancied he heard, a
giggle in the hall. There were no wom-
en- in the house except a couple of
housemaids who knew their place and
were in bed when HemStreet had come
in. Curious to know what the sound
meant, he arose and, cautiously open
ing his door enough to see through the
aperture, saw a sigh1 that amazed him
more than his previous unexplained
one. \ young girl stoQ6 In the hal

SEW IN CHINESE STREETS.
Women Who Mend Clothes Right There
While Tou Wait.

In many towns Of China one may
have his garments mended on the
street and while he waits" Native
sewing women are to be seen on low
stools, perhaps on the sidewalks, mend
ing articles of masculine attire.
The accomplishments of these street
seamstresses are somewhat limited,
their efforts with the needle being for
the most part confined to running" !"
Other branches of needlework are prac-
tically unknown to them. AS a conse-

ciated by native workmen than by
foreign travellers.
They are never short Of patrons
among the former, for these are often

Ahaanca of Mind.

An old man was leading two lively
calves out to early pasture in the
morning. When he came to the field
he tied one of the calves to one Of his
boot straps and the other to the oppo-
site boot strap while he opened the
rickety gate The calves ran away.
When he was picked up his wife asked
him:

Their wives being left at home, they
are glad to avail themselves Of the
services Of the street needlewoman,
For this class Of customers the skill
Of the 1tinerant sewing WON an answers
every purpose.
Generally speaking, these women are
wives Of boatmen and laborers who
live in the houseboats which line the
creeks of many Chinese cities and
towns, and their needles are a great
help toward the solution Of the prob
lem of maintenance in a crowded city
or town
