· LOVE LETTERS OF A
CHINESE WIFE.

**WHEN FIRST THOU RAISED MY YEIL"-ROUGE BRUSH
AND TEARS.
Western ideas of the Chinese woman as passionless will be modified on reading the love letters of Kwei-li, She was the daughter of a Viceroy of
Chih-li, and the letters full of postic try and witnessing her great love.
were written to her husband when he
master, accompanied his
Prince Chung, on his trip round the world. They are now published in a book,,
The Love Lepers of a Chiness Lady, by Elizabeth Copper. (T, NO Foutis, Edinburgh and London, 63.).
Kweli sends with each stroke of her brush [the Chinese write with a brush! a part of her heart." These
are extracts from the first letter alter the departure of her husband:
My dear One-The house on the mountain-top has lost its sout, It is nothing but a palace with empty win- dows. I go upon the terrace and look) over the valley where the sun sinks a golden-red ball, casting long purple) shadows on the plain. Then I remem- ber that thou art not coming from the city to me, and I say to myself that there can be so dawn that I care to see, and no sunser to gladder my eyes, unless I share it with thee.

**Bost thou remember when first thou raised my veil and looked long! into my eyes? I was thinking. “Will he Rnd me beautiful?" and in feår T could cok but for a moment, then my eyes fell. and I would not raise them to thine again. But in that moment I saw that thou wert tall and beaut- ful, that they skin was clear, and thy teeth like pearls. 1 was secretly glad within my heart, because I have known of brides who, when they saw their husbands for the first time.. wished to scream in terror, as they were old and ugly.... long" for thee. I love thee. I am thine, Thy wife."
THE WORD FOR TROUBLE."
Two Women Under One Roof.
My dear One, Lile is serious here in thine ancestral home since we have taken to ourselves a daughter- In-law. The written word for trouble is two women beneath one roof, and I greatly fear that the wise man who invented writing had knowledge that | cost him dear. Perhaps he too had a daughter-in-law.**
This daughter-in-law is one Liti. "Her hair is wonderful (but I say within my heart not so lang or thick as mine), and she adorns it with many jewels of jade and pearls..
watch bar with a little envy. because when thou west here I did the same, Now that my husband, is away it is; not meet that I make myself too seemly for other eyes. The rouge brush and the powder have not been near my face, and I have searched my clothing chests to find gowns fitting for a woman who is alone." "Another letter reveals that the joys and excitements of shopping are the same for women in all lands:
"All thy womenfolk have been shopping. We bought silks and sarins and gay brocades, and returned home three happy, tired, hungry women, thinking with longing of the hissing tea-urn upon the charcoal brazier.-lam thy happy,

WOMEN'S DESTINY,
A son is born, "I am indeed a woman, fulfiling a woman's destiny.
My golden world is peopled with but three thou. him and me...... Oh, husband mine, come back and see thy son?.. Thou hast a név place in my heart. The tie that binds our heart together is stronger than a rope of twisted bamboo, it is a bond, a love bond, that never can be severed. I am the mother of thy first born- thou has given me my man-child. Love thee-love thee! Now I know " But the boy dies, and the striken wife writes: " am alone on the mountain top.
My son, my man-child, is dead, The life has gone from his body, the breath from his lips. I held him all the night close to my heart, and it does not give him warmth. They have taken him from me and told me he has gone to the Gods. There are no Gods. There are no Gods. I am alone.
