Basket ball, tennis and jumping the
rope are curing China of the age-old
cruel custom of binding the feet of her
daughters, These American sports are
proving just as efficacious in doing
away with that evil as lis the law of the
Chinese republic against the practice
of foot binding. In many instances it
is even more efficacious for there can
be no basket ball, tennis or rope jump
ing for the girl with bound feet and
since the new woman" of China. even
in her girlhood, insists upon participa-

must go.

popular in young China and in other
Oriental countries, according to John

show has never struck this section of
Vermont. One felt himself back on
Old Broadway when he saw the
"show girl'' show that packed them
in at the Colonial last night.
Manager Eastman of the Colonial

booked just one better than the last
one and the crowd keeps increasing
with every performance so that the
good old show day crowds of pre-
war days are now in evidence. "a

show. my Soldier Girl', is super
excellent. Manager Eastman has
now set a pace that will keep him
awake nights to duplicate. We are
eagerly watching for the next book

The solo work of the show was
exceedingly well handled by Maude
Baxter as Mabel Parker. Miss Bax-
ter has wonderfully sweet soprano
voice and was very pleasing to look
upon.
The comedy work of the show was
carried on by Billy Murphy and Billy
Moore and they did an excellent
piece of work. They had a fund of
good jokes, put them over we'll and
never allowed things to drag. There
were several excellent male singers
and there seemed to be a good quar-

The show is exceptionally we'll

The comment today was "the best
show ever and the Colonial will be

continued.

One can't easily estimate the extent Of

Orient will derive from this infusion
of the spirit of free. open air America
into the youth of China.
"In the one detail. for instance, Of

Fairgrounds are working a revolution.
There can be no basket ball or tennis

Let us turn back to the files. Hav-
ing elaborated on the lead stories
found in those blurred pages and hav-
ing a special significance to our mar
rative, let us skim through half g
dozen items of minor Importance.
For instance, here is brief &C
count of the marriage of Esmerelda
Truman to some chap in New York
with a name like the william in the
Seaside Library. And few months
further on we note that Mrs. Silas
Truman has left for New York to
make her home with her daughter
and that her son Herbert will reside
temporarily at the Whitney House.
We were gullible enough for time
to believe that Mrs. Truman Sr's
explanation daughter needs me" was
tattermount to putting it that Esmer-
elda wanted her mother near her
through the advent of a youngster.
We subsequently demonstrated that
she was one of those women who
must have a background against
which the lights and shadows of her
character can be shown to advantage.
The Seaside-L Library husband having
a will of his own, however, and d
jaw too square to allow his wife to
get away with her role of Mrs.
Hawksbee, the mother was sent for
and we understand she fulfilled her
function faithfully until death.
Four months further along in the
files, we come to the ending of the
pitiful, miserable career of Mary's
half-brother, the idiot Artie, in an
asylum down in Massachusetts. The
body was sent back to Foxboro for
interment and laid beside his father
and mother in the family lot There
was prayer at the grave. The cask-
ct was not open.
Changes are recorded herein also
which effected the working force in
the Office in the immediate sue
ceeding years. Daddy Joe, who had
gone back to splitting tobacco-juice
on the floor after Mary's departure
bought a little job plant of his own
in Bryant and left US to ego on his
own." Skinny Napoleon Higgins
forgetting permanently his unfortun-
ate experience with the widow, fixed
it up" with Annie Seavers and they
were married and moved up to Bur-
lington, where we lost track of them
and never saw OF heard of them
again. Lawrence Briggs Hanchett
quit us for a job as bell-hop in the
Whitney House and quit that job fol-
a place in the shipping department in
the local knitting mill. Next we
heard of him in Detroit and then St
Louis. His mother got postal from
an unknown friend saying that he'd
gone to Alaska at the time of the
gold craze. He never came back
