kong, wife of China's largest. hotel proprietor and head of the American Red Cross In the city during the war, who recently | arrived in New York enroute for England after an absence of 18 years in the Orient, declares that opportunities of getting excellent husbands or well-paying positions await the American girl who ven- tures to the Far East says an American paper.

"There are so many more men from the United States and Eng- and engaged in commerce in the Orient that any girl who goes.

there has her head turned unless it is well set on her shoulders." said Mrs. Taggart. "Good steno- graphers are hard to get and in every line of business young women with brains are needed. Those that come marry 30 2000 that it is hardly worthwhile to pay their passage money out. Any girl of pleasing personality, but not of the marrying type. would find opportunities galore for her talents in business.

"However, it is no place for the scatter-brained. Society is much freer in many respects in the Far East than here-and no man or girl can hold down a job if they dance until dawn night after night and drink too much.

The company of which Mr. Taggart is the head owns 11 hotels in China, three of them in Hongkong. More are being built, since it seems impossible to build. fast enough to meet the demands of tourists, Hotels of the chain are soon to be built in India and Burma also. · ·

Mrs. Taggart is a New Yorker. by birth, the daughter of the late Justice Scoott of the New York Supreme Court. She believes that the inevitable entry of Eng- and or America, or possibly both countries into Chinese affairs will be the salvation of the country.]] not only because the Government is so disorganized bat because it may be the beginning. of China's real development.

"Sixty per cent. of the soldiers! of the Chinese army are really bandits," she added. "The army is divided into numerous factions, each so intent on warring on the others that no thought is given to the protection of person or pro- perty. The recent capture of a large party of Americans is no-t thing new, differing only from pre- vious exhibitions of lawlessness only because it happened to bei more sensational and on a larger scale with prominent people in- volved."..

THE LAST STRAW. All About a Car. The day was warm,

The car was old.

Its lungs had got internal cold. With starting handle in his fist Perspired the cranking motorist. He pulled and turned the heavy crank,

But every time he drew e blank; The more he wooed that engine's teart

The less it seemed inelined to stert.

The errand boye about the street To watch him stayed their rest- less fort,

And several passers paused to

Him not eny die (be never did).] The madding crowd from near and far

Collected round that eultry car (Ascrowds will watch with gaze intent

When road-up workmen lay cement).

The motorist still hotter grew: He cranked his engine all he know..

His collar limped. This coat he shed.

Hatookhiacap from off bis head, And laid it on the pavement there

Ard mopped his troubled fore- liead bare.

A dear old lady, short of sight Bat kind of beart, observed his |plight,]

Took out her puree, and with "Poor chap 1" *

She dropped a penny in his cap. At that last straw his efforts stapped,

His hand the starting handla dropped

As he collapsed with one last
