Human Curios
The Peasant Empress


That Tsu-Hsi. dowager empress of
China, was of humble birth can hardly
bo denied. That was proven by the
fact that her feet had never been bound
and also by several Incidents which oc-
CURED soon after she entered the i'm
perial palace as one Of the wives OF the
Emperor Hsien-Feng. But, in spite OF
the fact that she had been born q peas
ant-or, possibly. because of it-Tsu-
Hsi was remarkable for her beauty and
emperor. but also of the imperial house,
hold as whole.
Two years after she had entered the
emperor's circle OF wives. Tsi-Hsi gave
birth to son who. upon the death of
his father. five years later. assembled to
the throne of China, his mother taking
the title OF empress of the western
palace and ruling the entire nation with
a rod of iron. Her resourcefulness and
determination are apparent from the
manner In which. after the sudden death
OF her son, she substituted n three-year-
old cousin Of the dead boy for the em-
peror and forced the council Of man
darlns to accept him AZ their ruler.
Rumor states that Tsi-Hsi was a
slavegirl Of low origin, sold into bond
age in the south of China where her
beauty attracted tho attention of a court
official who bought her and brought her
him by the emperor. who was fascinated
by her charm. During her experience
as a slave she Is said to have met Ii
Hung Chang. also In humble circum-
stances. and to have made a pact with
him that should either ever achieve
power, they. would assist the other. a
compact which was carried out to the
letter In later years.
The death OF the peasant empress"
was in complete keeping with her un-
known origin. Shortly after her seventy
fourth birthday-November 3. l90s-she
died of a sudden and mysterious illness
and It was then discovered that the en-
peror had died some days before.

Dear Cynthia--Will you please tell me
what to do and how to act In the follow
ing case:

character and family.
He seems to care for me and wants
my friendship. md Is employed at my
same pluGe Of business.
He told me n I had no steady COM
pany and cared to have him as a friend
he would be pleased to take me out and
would also like to call on me. My fam
lily has not met him, but he seems
anxious to meet them. I know he has
only honorable thoughts and my good
at heart.
But the question Is this: He has not
been living with his wife for one year
and is not divorced. leaving her on ac-
count OF her conduct; and ne does not
expect to live with her again.

would like to bring him to our house
to see me.
Just how and what shall I do, or what
could be done to have our friendship
complete. as do not want to be sepa-
rated from him? ELLA w.

to show you attention. Whether he in

Is his affair, not yours: but It is your
business not to encourage the friendship
