HEN the views Of two
NN/ civilizations clash there
v v is no telling how revolu-
tionary the result may be.
Here is Inez Phang. who had fer
career all nicely planned If she had
not capitulated to a. composite crush
or opinions that were alien to her
own, Miss Phang would now be doing
mans work in China. Instead, she

She is an attractive oriental maiden.
with eyes that are dark and snappy
and searching. hair that is glossy
and black and abundant. and she
wears very smart New York clothes
Looking'at her you might expect her
end of casual conversation to be
sing-song Gathering chatter some
thing like this:
"Ju sEi yiu lang-sin-che. chang
tsai gan-li. yen-yu hwuijin. ar pu-
chi shi tsz hwui. Shin chi!'

A S matter of fact. she talks as
If she had just stepped out of an
English boarding school. Over a
leisurely breakfast one sunny spring
morning she summoned up the trials
OF Chinese girl who cannot speak
sentence in Chinese. but who con-
sidered herself a superior sort of
oriental until she met the amazing
young generation in Shanghai last
year. and 1t is because she is de-
termined that these smart youngsters
shall notice her that she is back
IN college getting more of a certain
sort of education than she wanted.
She had always valued knowledge
for its own sake and she had a par
ticular reason for not wanting a
college degree. She showed some
reticence in divulging just what that
might be. Then she explained:
1t has been my ambition to marry
Chinese business men are college grad
yates. and a Chinese does not marry
wife if he thinks she is more clever than
he. Even Yet it is not in the Chinese
psychology to set wife on a pedestal
and look up to her. And l fancy now
that l shall have to marry some Chi
nese professional man who has been
educated in an American college and
has tremendously good opinion of
himself. These men are not nearly
80 congenial as the jolly type of
business men who are my fathers
friends. But one has ones work TO

full compromise ! can't have every
thing my own way"

Tree Pruning.

p ESULTS which may surprise many
practical horticulturists have been
obtained by scientific experiments on
the Woburn fruit farm, in England.
1t has been observed that the less a
fruit tree is pruned the larger and
heavier it becomes. even when al
lowance is made for wood removed in
annual pruning of normal trees. The
fruit crops are also increased as the
amount of pruning is diminished.
The general conclusion is that the
less pruning, the better as regards
growth and fruit. This applies,
however, only to healthy and ostab-
lished trees. Transplanted, injured
and ailing trees are benefited by
pruning.

She took up her coupon" and
walked.
Pete missed her like a front tooth.
He also missed the coupon" which
f1attering courtiers said was exactly
like him. So he went to find her.
She wasn't hard to locate. She
hadn't run far. When Pete found
her she was sitting with her baby
in her arms. an airy veil thrown over
her head, trying to look Madonna
like. .-

months in the midst of peril. suffer-

He rose to his feet and said to the
child:

But he hesitated and stopped short
He remembered now their last quar-

"Oh, no. She says that she is happy

He hesitated a moment and then
said simply:

we were all decided that l should have
a business career we wanted to make
