WHEN EAST MEETS WEST

An amusing illustration of the mod
esty of the Chinese in matters of dress
is given by Elizabeth Cooper in her
new book, "The Harim and the
Purdah.'
"When one of the imperial princos
was en- route to England" she writes,
che attended his first foreign dinner
in Shanghai. About twenty-five of the
guests were English and American
ladies, dressed in their most elaborate
gowns, which means extreme decolete.
''The attaches of the prince had tried
to prepare his highness for the sight
he was to witness, but they had evil
IDENTIFY underestimated its startling
qualities, because when the prince ar
rived and gave one amazed look at his
hostess and the line of waiting ladies
he was nonplused
''He looked pitifully for his inter
prefer, and not receiving aid from him,
put down his head, shut his eyes, and
bravely stumbled around the room,
cropping blindly for each lady's hand,
as he had been informed that he should
shake hands with them.''

VILLA TAKES CARRANZA HOME

q Villa celebrated Christmas by cap
turing San Pedro de las Colonias, the
home of his arch enemy, Gen. Venus
tiano Carranza. This was stated IN
in advices from foreign sources IN
northeastern Mexico. San Pedro de las
Colonias is northeast of Torreon, cap
tured on Friday, on the railroad line
leading toward Monterey, which is
Villas present object.
1t is rich agricultural community
and it is believed to be Villas purpose
to raid the farming section to replen-
ish his stores of supplies.
Carranza IS estates are among the
largest in the vicinity of San Pedro
which also has the distinction of hav-
ing been the birthplace of President
Francisco l. Madero.
MeXicans on the border took it for
granted the Carranza and Madero es-
tates would be devastated, inasmuch
as the Madero properties are being ad-
ministered by the defacto government.

MARK HAD NOT FORGOTTEN

"Mark Twain had been a mugwump
during the BlaineCleveland campaign
in 1884, which means that he had sup
ported the independent Democratic
candidate, Grover Cleveland. He was
therefore in high favor at the White
House during both Cleveland admins
trations,' says Albert Bigelow Paine
in st. Nicholas, "and called there in
formally whenever business took him
to Washington.
"But on one occasion lit was his
first visit after the presidents mar
riage) there was to be party, and
Mr.. Clemens, who could not attend,
slipped little note into the pocket of
his evening waistcoat, where he would
be sure to find it when dressing, warn
ing him as to his department.
Being presented to young Mrs.
Cleveland, he handed her a card on
which he had written He didn IT, and
asked her to sign her name below those
words. Mrs. Cleveland protested that
she must first know what it was that
he hadn It done, finally agreeing to sign
it if he would tell her Immediately all
about it, which he promised to do. She
signed and he handed her Mrs. Clemens
note. 1t was very brief. 1t said:
Don't wear your arctics in tho
White House.''

applied with a brush or as a spray.
Crude oil applied TO the backs Of the
