Mary Dean. CHINESE WOMEN AND BOXERS. Tolicy of the Empre** Dowager !• Said to Be Indorsed by the Women of China. Washington. July 12 —Woman's influence in China is greater than is commonly sup posed. Records of the greet Flowery Kingdom are full cf examples of wocnerk famous for their learning, heroism and high principle. Sometimes women achieve absolute power over the household, for there is a popular saying. “She eats rice with her h -band." which is used to ex- press the rule of the female tyrant. The most astonishing instance of feminine power to-day is, of course, the career of the Dowager Empress, Eszi-Chi. It is said that to-day the greatest mandarin of <'hin would far rather face the Emperor Kwangsa than the secluded lady whose ■firmness has often been- tried and never been broken. She is still the power which rules the colossal country of 300.000.000 people, a country subject to colossal dis asters of flood, famine, epidemics, earth quakes and insurrection, and which is now in the throes of revolution and warfare. As an instance of the Empress Dowager’s strength, it may be recalled that she de posed her strongest vizier, Prince Kung, in 1865, by a mere decree in the Pekin Gazette because “he overrated his import- ance." In common with all other nations, the woman of China represent the most fervent religious element. They are said to Indorse enthusiastically the Boxers' movement and to be lighting with passion to help tid the country of the detested missionary. That the women of China do not lack courage Is proved by the fact that they sometimes seek suicide as relief from un happy marriages and uncongenial hus bands would frequently be murdered were It not for special punishments, "lgnomln niot.s and slow," devlseej for all women who should attempt homicide. The mere existence of this law proves the necessity for It, Again, not long ago, fifteen young girls of Canton threw themselves Into the liver to escape from marrying the hus i Panda chosen for them. Two other recent example* prove tha heroism o? the Chinese women of high de gree. a daughter of the Chinese minis ter to London. Kwo-Sung-Taon .was mar ried at the age of 17. When her husband feil ill and all food failed to nourish him she cut a slice off her arm and put it in the broth. When he died she tried to com mit suicide, out of grief, and would eat nothing but golf leaf, to induce death. It failed to poison her. and she then starved to death. Her sister-in-law. Mrs. Kwo, a sister of the Marquis Tseng, tried also to follow her husbar.d to the land of spirits, but the use of quantities of gold leaf failed, and she Anally rook compassion on her children, agreed to live and managed her father-in-law's property while he was in London. Li Hung Chang penned a memorial to the l>ragor. throne, requesting that these two women should be awarded a sign of imperial approval. Notwithstanding the degraded condition of women of the lower classes, the female ideal is high in China, and the annals of the past show a long series of virtuous and heroic women, who have made an indel ible impression upon the national mind. The mother of the great sage, Confucius, is held as o model, (or, as his father died when the child was three years of age. his training was accomplished by his mother, who, ii js said, gave him the foundation for his great moral maxims. The • next philosopher of importance, Memcius, was also indebted to his mother for the for mation of his character and mind, as W'ell as his philosophy. V. Oman’s lot in China is, however, not an enviable one. She is not received in to the wop id with joy and is given very lit tle education. At twelve she is banished from all companionship to become "the young girl who sits in the house,” until her marriage, when she weds some on she lias never seen. Then she must obey her husband and her mother-in-law; she may not come into contact with men or the outside world; and, as a rule, she can not read. She may, however, receive l2dies and return their calls. The patriar chal system is so universal that the father is a despotic ruler over his family, and a married woman be.omes so entirely a part of her husband's famly that she has to yield her duty ond obedience to her husband's parents, who frequently treat her more as a slave than a daughter-in law- The doctrine inculcated in the Chi nese classics Is that a woman has three stages of obedience: First, to her father; second, to her husband, (after she is mar ried, land, third, to her son (if her hus band dies) when he reaches manhood. The old proverb goes: “Men wish their boys to be like wolves, and fear least they should be timid; their girls they wish to be like mice, and fear lest they should have the boldness of the tiger." The laws established 2,300 years ago are in favor to-day, and among them no rules are stricter tbjan those which provide for keep ing the women in/bondage. * Chinese books of instruction for girls consist chiefly of exhortations to discharge their duties as daughters, wives, mothers and daughters-in-law. The “Girls' Four Books," to which two famous emperore wrote prefaces, contain the best idea of how the female mind and character must be trained. Modesty, gentleness, self-sac rifice, wisdom, respect for elders and a virtuous disposition must be a woman’s equipment in life. There is no pressing need for intellectual education. However, about one hundred in every ten thousand women read, ond that means read with understanding the great books of philoso phy and literature, the works of China's sages and poets. Such cases are found among the aristocratic classes, and men of letters frequently teach their wives and daughters not only the art of reading, but that of writing, and go so far as to publish their literary effusions.

Bowman, president. a survival from the days when the host was an important person because he carved. Dinner a ia Russe has long since robbed him of this unpleasant preroga tive, so that he is quite as useful, or more so, at afternoon tea than he is at dinner. Every Invitation arrives with "Mr. and Mrs.” at the top. Why this is so is im possible to say, except, perhaps, that the married couple are anxious to let their friends know that they are still living together. Whatever the reason, however, the result will doubtless be good, and the plainest and slyest of men will have blown out into attractive hosts under the feeling that they are bound to show up at their own parties, and do their share in the entertaining. Crushes are no longer in favor. The mere love of cramming a room with a crowd of people is among the things of the past. Small, select parties are much better style, when no one is asked who has not some raison d’etre. Very little music is being given at par ties this season. Hostesses recognize that people want to talk, and are only too thankful to be let alone. Introducing has not been very fashionable; the most pop- r,l ° Ducheis of Sutherland with Her Little Daughter, Lady Rosemary. ular hostess, as a rule, is she who lets her guests llnd their own friends. “The hostess who worries you,” a mere man declares, “Is luckily getting unpopular, and people only like to patronize the solon of the chatelaine who has mastered the great tirt of letting her guests alone.” The number of entertainments given In hotels and smart restaurants Is one of the growing signs of the laziness of modern life, and the tendency to central ize In all things. People are thankful to be saved trouble at any cost, nnd giv ing parties lit hotels saws an Illimitable amount of ealeulntlon on the part of the hostess. No mere man need to moke elaborate calculations as to the nmount of food and drink required, no trouble some consultations with the cook, the whole matter Is taken out of the enter tainer's hands, and attended to by an all knowing hotel mannger. The house Is not filmed upside down, nor the servants driven to distraction by unaccustomed duties. These entertainments at hotels have a splee of novelty about them which make them very acceptable to the guests, and they give the minimum of trouble to the Hostess. The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.

" Her Grnee of Sutherland One of the Most Beautiful, Wealthy and Soci ally Powerful Womeu of England. Every inch a duchess is her tall lair Grace of Sutherland. No woman in Eng land is more intelligent and modern in her ideals, enjoys rhore varied interests and graces her strawberry leaved coronet with a more conscientious endeavor to do what is becoming and worthy of a worn in and a peeress. The Duchess springs the noble family of Rosslyn and two o* her sisters, the Countess of Warwick and Lady Angela Forbes are as famous for their brains and beauty as she. Not only does she come of one of the richest Scottish families, but after a year in society she married the richest young bachelor Duke in England. She is the mis stress*of rive superb homes, and in London at Stafford House and in the north coun try at Dun robin Castle she is reckoned one of the handsomest and most powerful social leaders of English society. In spite of her riches and the adulation that is her share, this tall, slender ond gracious wo man takes a deeper interesi in scientific philanthropy, the education of children and the cause of woman /suffrage than In ball* and dinners. I’nder her patronage the cottage indus tries of Scotland have enjoyed a remark able prosperity. In the big cities of Scotland, in London, nnd even in New York, she lias established shorn* that do a line business in the extensive manufac tures of the Scottish peasantry. Perhaps If she is conx tiling of a socialist like her sister, the Countess of Warwick, she is very consistent in her creed and at her castle in the north she is tenderly lov’d by tho poorer classes In her relations with which she ie both sensible and sincere. The greater portion of the Duchess* time Is spent at Dunrcbln leading * very simple life with her small family, tramp ing and riding about In a rough short skirted tweed gown, followed by her does and accompanied very often by her blond headed little daughter.
