WOMEN IN CHINA, THEIR CHANGING CONDITIONS.

Mrs. McWhirter, a well-known North China Missionary, interviewed by a re- presentative of the Missionury Herald, has given, the following account of the many changes which have affected the lives of Chinese women during the last four years; changes which have beca mare revolutionary in their influence upon women. thain men

There is a growing discontent with old' customs. Hitherto their borizon has been bounded entirely by their household work and their children. Now, with daughters: going to schon and coming into contact with Western nations, everything is dif ferent. A startling illustration of the change was given whan girl students with | bobbed hair paraded the streets of Peking demanding votes for women." Educa- tion first started with Christian women by Christian missionaries, and is the foundation on which the Government has built its programme. Education of girls is becoming universal in the towny, bot it has not yet reached the villages. Sew ideas are brought home by the daughters: from the school. Gradually the marriage customs of the country are being chang-1 ed Hen with education are now. de manding educated wives. Some men are even insisting on freedom of choice with out the interference of those who have hitherto arranged marriages.

IMPROVING STATUS.

1.

There is also the great difference it makes to realise that there is a carcer for women besides marriages, as tea- chers, dispensers, hospital assistants, and that a girl can even go to college and qualify as a doctor. They are even tak ing positions in commercial life as heads of businesses. A number of Chinese women are now to be found on the staffs of newspapers as reporters.

The better treatment of women in Christian families is very remarkable, and must spread to other homes. The knowledge of hygiene and

the care of

children is making a great difference in Chinese families. The very fact of get ting ready for school is a great thing. There is a growing desire to have their children educrted. The change is also affecting the position of little daughters. They are no longer looked on as an in- cubus and a mistake in the family. So girls are much better treated and their value has changed in the eyes of the people.

19106 EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS.

Education is coming quickly up to the home standards. The higher branches are included; physical culture, nature study, the higher mathematics, sociology, and other subjects are being studied. A specially attractive subject is medicine. More girls enter for medicine than for teaching and other posts. And they do well in it. Dr. Mary Stone took first place in her class in America. Dr. Kuan, daughter of a pastor, and a graduate of the Shanghai University, had a large practice in Kirin, chiefly among tho official classes.

Intellectually they are ahead of our home girls when they get a chance. Their long centuries of educated "eivili- sation, though women did not share it till now, has affected their mental capa city favourably and hits made them excellent students, Missionaries for edu cational work will have to be more highly educated than ever because of the high standard demanded by the educational conditions..

THE SEASON'S NEW DANCES.

Pati, June Sib. Once more the professors of the dance, men and women, are meeting in their ebaracteristically antema way to decide what should-though not necessarily what shall be the new fashions in dancing..

"With the zeal that is inevitable when it is a pleasure that is the subject of discussion, one hundred anil filty experts from all parts of Europe, and even from Turkey, have been threshing out the principle that should govern the evolu tion of dancing this year, and watching with jealously critical eyes demonstra tions of the. Intest dances that the, most inspired among thems have thought out.

Six new dances have already been demonstrated. One of these was intro duced by Miss Euradail of London. It is called the Gydu," and it is defined as a mixture of Pavane and Gavotte, but with rather more sprightliness than thos old ineasures have. Then there is the Passeto," which has the rhythm of a Spanish waltz, and the Ondulada,” which recalls the Spanish schottische,

HERE is a distinguishing feature

the business of the house of HAIG & HAIG. Most Distillers have various brands of varying qualities. HAIG & HAIG have one brand only, and they claim (and the public acclaim) that it is the finest that goes from Scotland.

It is a regrettable fact that all retailers have not the same high standard of commercial honesty, and it is known that cheaper brands are some- times passed on to the public under the label of houses of high repute.

When you see a genuine bottle of HAIG & HAIG Fire Stars Scots Whisky it will be the same fine quality in London, in Lucknow, or in Labrador; in the Langham Hotel, in the G.O.H. at Colombo, and in the best Clubs in Cape Town.

A second quality Haig & Haig could not be filled into Haig & Haig bottle because there isn't a second quality.

Haig & Haig is also known easily by the fact that you pay a little extra for it.

Say HAIG & HAIG or you may get a cheaper brand substituted.
