"nEW-W0MAN' IDEA IN CHINA

the new woman Is described as "A

Yet the new woman of China comes
in for some criticism. Tor among the
things size is -exhorted 20 cultivate are
plain living and dressing. which, the
writer goes on to say, was the rule
in old China, but that now women
wish to keep up with the styles and

the chief thing about good dressing Is
TO 10 wear clean clothing. Another
atimonition 60 the new woman or
China which might indicate she Is
prone to err. just like the new woman
Of any other land. is that she put far
away from her the desire for empty

HAY FEvERITES MADE TOWN

Or its immediate vicinity, which
seems To be 81 most popular camping
ground for sufferers from the 'hay."
We met a real old lady there "A few
summers ago. who told MS that she
believed she was the first person to
discover that the Pe;oskey atmos-
phere had curative effect on hay
fever; she was sufferer with that
disease herself and more than fifty
years ago, she said. she and her hus-
band were en- route by boat from CHI
cago to point much farther north
when they were driven ny violent
storm into The bay ut PetosSey. where
they remained for two or three days.
during which time She noticed that
she was entirely free from hay fewer.
AZ that time the medical profession
was giving hay fever nm extensive
study. 50 when this lady and her hus-
band returned To Chicago they relat-
ed their experience and suggested
that as Petoskey was So accessible TO

speech from his wife. who WAS a
tinker. The thinkers. he said, kept
their knowledge OF the language Sc

selves. Later LELAND encountered
caany other persons who spoke Shelta.
He found that in many of the drinking
places in the East end of London.
where Migrants often congregate, the
language was freely employed. but
that when an outsider made his ap-
pearance, il ceased at once TO be Spok-

study of Shelta proved that it is no
mere system of back slang or can't but
an ancient Celtic speech.

but the older gypsy folk still speak

state.
The dialect of Shetland, although
its grammar IS Lowland Scotch, is
very largely Morse aud as spoken by
the Shetlanders among themselves is
scarcely understandable by the aver

Celtic tongue different from Gaelic or

stirred them up with long pole,
whereupon they danced little faster.
The policeman explained 10 Straight
that there WAS no village jail and So

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY =. W. STRAUS. President American
Society fos Thrift

Economy no more means saving
money than it means spending
money: it means administration OF n
house: its stewardship: spending or
saving. whether money or time. CT
anything else. to the hest possible adj
vantage
Ruskin has thus epitcmiEed one OF
the most important elements Of true
thrift. II is unfortunate that in many
minds thrift is associated with miscr-
Illness. and it is equally deplorablc
that this false and harmful concep-
ton of thrift is often encouraged by
well-meaning but illogical persons
RuslIiu's analysis places as much i'm
portance on correct spending as on
correct saving. While he refers in
this connection only TO the manage
ment of the home, the same principle
holds good throughout the entire
range of ones personal affairs and
may be carried into the most pro-
found problems of business or states

One frequently hears OF the accom-
plishments of some miserly person
who has succeeded in amassing a GER
tain sum of money after years o;
boarding. and these exploits are fire.
quently extolled AS worthy examples
Of thrift. While ii is true that saving
plays necessary part in upbuilding
there can be no real progress where
there is not as much careful thought
and ingenuity expended on the entire
problem of administration.
This fact should be kept i'll mind
particularly by those who are engaged
in teaching thrift. whether they are III
school work or are in some other po-
sition where it is essential that those
who depend upon them for guidance
be given the correct understanding o!
these problems OF human development

but in order to grow and learn and
reach a more worthy position in life
one must exercise an equal amour;

ture of money.

which does not embrace the full scope
Of this principle is false doctrine.
