distinguished family in China. But none of her fellow students foresaw for her career so wildly melodramatic, so exacting in the immensity of - its problems, as Madame Chiang has passed through during the past 10 years, and is liv- ing hourly today.
 Carries Heavy Burden
 Wife of the Chinese general who also heads the countrys govern ment, interpreter to him of the western world he has never seen, tireless worker in movements aimed at undermining in desperate haste 8 backward country, trusted private secretary and constant companion in a hectic whirl of politics and strife, the little Mei- ling who drank tea with such grace in the square at Wellesley 20 years ago is a story-book char acter. In the mad vortex that is China today, this tiny woman who Is not yet quite 40 carries an un- believable burden, and her quiet tongue speaks with the voice of history.
 All three of the daughters of Charles Soong, Vanderbilt gradu- ate, came to Wesleyan to study, because Soong was devout Southern Methodist, founder of the Y. M. c. A. in China, and a Bible publisher. He was also a revolutionist and the secretary treasurer to Dr. Sun Yat Sen, "China's George Washington" All the Soongs think like Americans.
 Has Distinguished Connections
 The eldest daughter, Ai-ling, married Dr. H. H. Kung, wealthy finance minister of the present Nanking government, who has been recently in Europe and America raising huge loans for China. The second sister, Ching ling, married Dr. Sun Yat Sen himself in his old age, as an act of devotion to his revolutionary career, whose hardships and dan- gers she shared with him. She is much beloved in China, and now somewhat estranged from the orphaned by China's perpetual Nanking government over policy,
 The eldest brother of these sis- ters is T. V. Soong, former cabinet minister of the revolutionary gov- ernment and a most able adminis. trator.
 ThH Soongs didn't like it much when Mei-ling, the spoiled dar- ling of the family" returned to China and met Chiang Kai-shek,

 A foundation preparation, core rectly applied, gives depth and fin- ish to your makeup, causes 1t to stay on longer and eliminates any chance of harsh, obvious edges of color. One who takes pride in dullish mat finish and hates to do a complete makeup job too often certainly should find a suitable foundation and use 1t regularly.
 For skins with fine texture, lo- tions usually are more satisfactory than creams of the vanishing vari- ety. Pat your favorite on after cleansing, then blend rouge while the lotion still is moist or slightly oily.
 According to an article in a re- putable cosmetic magazine, foun- dations afford a greater protection to the skin under weathering con- ditions, and are especially helpful In preventing chapping. windburn and sunburn. Many manufacturers have slightly tinted their foundations 50 that they will blend more readily with the color of the skin. If your skin is suntanned. it's great mis- take to use the white or pale pink lotion which you liked in May.
 Always remember that the per- feet makeup never makes you look made Up at all. Get rouge on smoothly and evenly. and do use 1t sparingly. If powder is pressed on lavishly, then brushed lightly to remove the excess, 1t will blend with your skin and never give your face a slightly 1loured look.
 Dry lips carefully before apply ing lipstick. Cover the upper lip lavishly, press lips together. then cover the lower one, following the outline made by the pressure. Let the color set a moment or two, put piece of cleansing tissue between lips and press again. This way, the color will stay on for hours and will not become lumpy or streaked.

 In Kidnapping

not seen, as on the day when they went walking and came on a tree of white plum blossoms in full flower. He picked some of the good-luck omens and gave them to Mei-ling in a bamboo basket. "He has the cour- age of the soldier" she wrote later, land the sensitive soul of the poet. "
 In 1927, family objections hav- ing been largely overcome, Mei- ling and Chiang were married in Shanghai, first in private Meth ododist service at home, then again in magnificent ceremony at the Majestic Hotel in the International Settlement before 5000 guests. That very hotel today is under the fire of opposing Japanese and Chi nese troops.
 Close at Chiang's side through the turbulent years that followed Mei-ling has remained. She trav- eled with him to obscure and pestilential Chinese towns in his campaigns against the communist armies. She served tirelessly as trusted secretary in a country where secretaries too often betray. She founded schools for children wars. She looked after Chiang's health, made him take care of himself. She converted him to Christianity, which he avowed in 1880.
 It was Mei-ling who pushed Chinese aviation to the fore, see- ing to it that Chiang had the best available American plane for his rush trips about the vast country. She has been active in the devel- opment of China's military air force, and in civil aviation, flying fearlessly at all hours and under all conditions. .
 In 1935, with pars or the army in revolt in Fukien, Madame Chiang flew over desperate moun- tain territory by night when Chiang went to suppress the revolt. She personally negotiated the sur- render of some of the mutineers. In Kiangsi once, she was at field headquarters with the general when sudden rife fire rang out in the night. By feeble candlelight she quickly dressed and sorted out valuable papers and prepared to burn them if their camp should be captured. The hardships of a life of this kind are hard to asso- ciate with the picture book fragil- ity of Madame Chiang.
 Only last year came the scarcely believable episode of the kidnap- ing of Chiang, in which his wife probably saved his life, and very possibly saved China from another disastrous civil war, paving the way for the present near unity fin the face of Japan.
 Freaks Kidnap Plot
 Tn December of 1886, Chiang was seized and kidnapped by Chang Hseuh- Hang, rnutinous provincial general. Within the walls of Sianfu, Chiang lay captive, smol- dering and refusing to listen to Chang's demands. Nanking was terrified with its strong man" a captive, and an attack was about to be launched on Sianfu, which would probably have brought death to Madame Chiang's hus- band, and launched China into an- other decade of civil war.
 With a pilot and one trusted ad- wiser, Madame Chang flew 700 miles from Nanking to Sianfu, and took her life in her hands to make personal appeal to Chang. Sev- eral days were passed in tense negotiations, after which Chiang's release was obtained free of obi.

 Paris (UP)--The "calotte univer. selle"-- a two-in-one hat is the hit of Erik's new collection of au- tunin and winter styles, which have their inspiration in the Far North where Eskimo headgear and peas- ant styles of Greenland, have con- tributed to novel designs in felt, fur and velvet.
 A cap of felt, draped velvet or fur fits well down on the back of the head, while second. more elab- crate hat is perc:led forward on top. The over-hat may be worn alone or the cap (which is suitable to wear with any other hat for 6 touch of color contrast) may be worn separately for afternoon or evening occasions. The snug caps are de- signed to be effective with any type hairdress, and fur ones completely cover the hair ct the back.
 A second versicn of the two-in- one hat is seen in "double-duty" de- signs, which are simple when worn at one angle, but extremely dressy when reversed. nf as s.8RglQv

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Weather has much to do with disposition and children are not exempt. The same east wind that sours the tempers of older people will make the baby fretful. A low barometer, meaning heavy air, saps energy; and heat makes for irrita- bility. This is, of course, generally speaking, because some constitutions are peculiarly adapted to extremes of weather and challenge the worst the weather man can do.
 By and large, however, summer with its vagaries is a difficult time to get the best out of children. Add to this the fact that they are home more of the time, and we have c real proposition on our hands. And this is not all. We. ourselves, are unconsciously affected by climate changes and things that would go unnoticed on a brisk winter day are apt to be straws to break the camel's back on hot, sultry af- ternoon.
 Vacation Is Upsetting, Too
 It seems wise then to be patient, and to say to ourselves, Tn the fall Robbie needs some attention. He is getting too bossy, or too contrary, or isn't punctual when call
 Bobby may be all mixed up at this period of vacation, what with no school or regular occupations too keep him in line. It Is to be expect cd, rather than worried over and mothers are likely to be very dis couraged.
 I suppose there is more scolding and reminding, more featuring and pleading at the present time than any other period of the entire year. Everything combines to work ag- ainst precision, discipline and con- structive training. The free life has It's advantages, but as far as habits go, it has few.
 Wait for Cooler Days
 You know how 1t Is yourself. Once released from regular duties, we find it difficult to exert ourselves in the smallest things. We feel that all sssnusts" are unfair. But once back in harness, with our minds on re- eponsibility, the smaller claims mean nothing and are accomplished with easa.

VICTUALS AND COLITIS
 ORSESSION

Although have not kept count, l believe I have received as many let ters from readers who assure me l am wrong about constipation being a bad habit as have from readers who express their thanks for the booklet "The Constipation Habit" the study of which has enabled them to break the habit.
 I wish I could say as much about another booklet in. the Little Les sons" series, the one entitled Chronic Nervous Imposition" May be the title of that work-I said work-have you ever tried to con- dense a three dollar book into a ten cent booklet?-the title is unfortu- nate, tending to cause the neurotic to shy of. Still, in spite of what Glass B neurotics bitterly call the hard-boiled attitude I take in ref erence to nerve weakness" and all that bunk, I have received few ex- pressions of gratitude from Class A neurotics who have eventually found their way back to normalcy or at least have gotten rid of their wretched nervous obsession.
 No one with the colitis obsession is obliged to read another line. I never did quite appreciate fathers remark that 1t was going to hurt him more than 1t would hurt me, but do now.
 It is my belief. crude, ignorant, ordinary doctor that I am, ruthless in fact, that in most instances indi- viduals who purport to be suffering with colitis have nothing wrong with their digestion except their victuals.
