Chinaman.

1t Is the custom Of the Chinese to
burn various kinds Of efigies Mt the
funeral ceremonies OF the rich, and
the more wealthy the departed the
more elaborate the figures burned over

every manner Of thing, such as human
figures, horses. sedan chairs. tables
loaded with money. etc.
At the funeral of a Mr.. Ii, who
died q short time ago In T1entsin,
and who was very wealthy man,
the bereaved family outdid themselves.
and made an imitation OF the deceased
gentleman's automobile, to be burned
at his grave. The efiigy was made
entirely Of strong Chinese paper
stretched on bamboo frames. The car
was complete in every detail, the ped
ais accurately placed, and all made Of
paper and bamboo.
The interior Of the car was also
accurate in detail. being carefully up

LACE MAKING TO BE
REVIVED IN FRANCE
Nine. Emile Lyon Enlists
American Support and
Opens School.

Special Correspondence to TIE NEW YORK
PARIS, Nov. 3.--Although the Germans
did their utmost to ruin the lace indus
try of the north of France, steps are
being taken to insure that the industry
be promptly restored so that American
women may not lack the frills to which
they have become accustomed.
The lace workers of France before
the war were centred in the Valenci-
ennes and Bailleul areas. both of which
remained under almost constant shell
fire during the entire war First the
German shells wrecked the humble cot
tages and elaborate mills, and the work
OF destruction was completed when the
Allied cannon harassed the retreating
German troops.
The population Is gradually returning,
but where tens Of thousands of yards of
filmy creations were produced in 1913
only a few hundred are now being
woven. and only very small proportion
of the trained personnel of the weaving
colonies has returned to the slowly re-
building areas.
Thanks to the energy of Nine. Emile
Lyon. wife of the rector OF the Academy
of Lille. who has enlisted the sympathy
and financial support of generous
americans, Il SCiOOl Ol lace Is
being opened in Bailleul. Thirty young
women. all anxious to see the preserva-
ton OF an industry which has always
been considered essentially French, have
already been enrolled and are meeting
three evenings q week in a deserted
army hut. Next month a new course
viii be opened in the Communal School
of Bailleul and children will be given
their first instruction in the weaving of
the intricate designs which cannot be
accurately duplicated by even the most
modern machinery
Mime. Lyons plans are extensive.
She intends to appeal for government
assistance and the inclusion OF lace
making" as a part of the curriculum OF
all the secondary schools of the north
of France. Not only will hand made
lace be developed, but machines are to
be purchased for the education of those
who wish to devote their efforts to the
restoration of the great industries which
lined the Belgian frontier when the war
commenced.
There Is a tremendous demand for
laces." says Nine. Lyon. AFTER four
years of economy the world is anxioue
to see the pretty things which char.
acterized feminine dress before the
tragic days of 1914. The lace workers
of ireland cannot satisfy the demand
and even IL they could the irish lace
has never had the charm OF the Frcncf
! design"

COST OF EDUCATION

LONDON, Nov. 3.-With theopening OF
