Women in China.

Perhaps as an outcome of move
ment started early this year by Chi
nese women's organizations in Canton
to open avenues of employment hither-
to closed to women, the national as
sembly of the southern government
has given a job to a girl. This is a
clerkship and the first in Canton, If
not in all China, to be given to
woman. Miss SO Kan, the appolntee.
has been assigned to a post In connec-
ton with publication of parliamentary
records.
In response to action taken by Chi
nese women's clubs the Canton Sam
shune railway has sanctioned a plan
to employ girls, while the Canton Tele-
graph company also is planning to In
clude women in its working staff.

FASHION BRIEFS

Embroideries show an oriental In
fiuence.
Wool trotteurs are smartly trimmed
with latticed ribbon.
The Florentine neckline Is seen in
almost every dressy afternoon gown.
In frocks the skirts are nearly al
ways more elaborate than The bodices.
The newest fans are of dyed
coque feathers mounted in tortoise
she'll.
A perky little vest Of white linen
embroidered with black silk livens up
the dark .alleur.
No spring wardrobe is complete
without the popular canton crepe
frock. 1t is all the rage just now.
The smart shops are showing all
black underwear. Even miladys night
robe is thing Of clinging black lines
and laces.
Several Smart hats have a high
back trimming which Stimulates Span
tsh combs. These often are made Of
lace or plated malines.
Evening gowns shill show q predilec-
tion for gray-and If 1t Is not gray,
then 1t verges on it by being a soft
violet mauye or lustrOus blue.
As the season progresses one will
see the gay hats bedecked with cher
ries. which are now being worn un-
covered, draped with black lace which
In many cases will reach to the ell
bow. The lace invariably is very soft.
In this season Of utter simplicity
deep folds Of the material are often
the only trimming allowed-and, by
the way, they are very smart. A
charming organdie dress Is thus fash
oned, the waist and skirt each
trimmed with three horizontal folds.

Just Incident in Sailors Life

Some time ago six survivors of a
crew of % men belonging to the st.
Abbs were cast, with their lives and
nothing more, on the bleak island of
San Juan de Nuovo. At first they re-
mained on the inshore reef, where the
storm had thrown them, living on raw
sea-birds and eggs, and drinking the
rainwater In the crannies Of the rocks.
After fortnight they plucked up
courage, and managed to swim across
to the island. where they found a
hut-a relic of previous Crusoes-and
spring Of sweet pure water. Here
they also discovered, cast ashore from
their wreck. several barrels of flour
and cases Of provisions, and many
turtles. Life became a little more
tolerable for them, and here they lived
for four months till Spanish
schooner cruising around for turtles
bore up off the island, and rescued the
stranded mariners.
