Dear Mrs. Thompson: / have been
going with a young man for a long

net attracting to himself the people
and the experiences which his nature
needs. You appealed to the man for
time, but your nature did not sat
isfy him as much as the other girls
or he would not have left you for her.
You must not be resentful toward
the girl. 1t was her personality which
attracted the man. II she had not had
qualities which appealed to him. no
effort on her part could have taken
him away from you.
Doubtless there are many men who
would like you very much better than
the other girl. Try to make your
character and personality as pleas
ing as possible SO that there will be
less danger of losing your friends to
others; to do this you must be gen.
erous and broad-minded and not wish
for revenge. Revenge is sweet only
to people of small, unforgiving nat
ures.
1t is a happy thought to believe
that the experiences and friends which
are meant for you will come to you,
because the law of nature compels
them to. Make yourself worthy of the
best in life.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: wonder if
you can tell me what it is that makes

Youth is youth the world over and
young China is as keen for an aerial
railway ride as is young America.
Roller skating is a present craze in
Shanghai and the park rink is al
ways crowded. A foreign restau-
rant with real knives and forks and
serving only foreign foods is a great
attraction. Race courses, thrillers,
ZOO, souvenir booths and concert
halls are stormed by crowds of
eager patrons in just the same fash
ion as in America, while the movies
mark the crest of popularity and bid
fair to do more efficient work in
weaving China from her centuries

Chile Will Not Renew
Trade With Germany

SANTIAGO, Chile, March S.-Eleo-
doro Yanez, former minister of the
interior who will leave soon for the
United States and Europe on a special
mission, declared today that the OBJ
ject of his trip is to renew political,
financial and commercial relations be-
tween Chile and other nations. Asked
if he would visit Germany, he answer
ed that his mission did not include
any other countries than those of the
entente and the United States.
M. Gilbert, French minister to Chile,
stated today that he had asked his
government to extend facilities for
Senior Yanez's mission, which he said
he believed would result in great bene-
fit to both France and Chile.

The Great World" is a favorite
phrase in Shanghai today. Does it
mean a delve into oriental mystic
ism? No, indeed! Quite the con-
trary. 1.-THE Great World" is the
first American-style amusement park
in China and is proving fully as
popular as are these recreation re-
sorts in America.
Styles in the Celestial Kingdom
are changing. First came the cut
ting off of queues, then the adoption
of western dress. Chinese boys and
girls who come here to study in our
universities, carry back to their
native land the customs adopted
while here and it is only a question
of decades before China will be quite
modernized. The opening of "The
Great World" marks another step in
this direction.
