They were suppressed by tradition and the old classical teachings. Because they were taught generation after genera- tion that the subordination to men is natural and logical, thit men are unquestionably infallible and au- thoritative on all things, caused them to believe that they must submit to the whims and fancies of their fale folks without d murmur; and conse- quently, they have accepted their lot submissively and complacently. wiln tne introd.. Zon of Western civilization women "in China have awakened to the injustice of their soclal status in comparison to their Western sisters. Like their Western sisters they are now agitating for suffrage and social equality with men. The writer, however, believes that it will take some time for women in China,.not because he belongs to the male sex, but because of the plausible fact that women must obtain intellec- tual training equivalent or nearly equivalent to men before they can ex- pect economic equality. It will take time, especially in a country like China, where women were denfed the privileges of a systematic intellectual training until the last few decades.

'Better 'come along with me now. Case won't come up now, but you'd better--" "This lady does not wish to prefer charges, officer," spoke up Ceclle's unknown protector. "You can reach me at that address." He handed the man a card, took the girl's arm and drew her through the little tables near the water and summoned the waiter with a gesture, "you're going to have a cup of hot coffee and then I'm going to see that You get home safely. A young girl shouldn't be out here by herself on a holiday like this. "1 assure you," he added, as the steaming drink was set before the girl, "that I'm absolutely re spectable." Cecile nodded with an answering smile, The coffee had gone to the right spot and some of the impish- ness which had brought her alone to the Busy resort returned to her. "I don't know about that," she re- plied firmly. "But I do know that I'm not going until I've been down the roller coaster a couple. of times, and on the merry-go-round once, and --oh, yes, at least once on those swinging aeroplane things." mer sparkling gaze dared him to stop her. Their eyes met, each hold- ing the other's glance. "You most certainly are not," the young man replied. "For if you try," he added, as Cecile's look grew belligerent, "I shall certainly pick you up and carry you to the ferry." Cecile drew out a puff and applied it carefully, straightened her hat and prepared elaborately to depart. "Good afternoon, Mr. Man," she laughed. "I appreciate your prompt aid in time of need." She nodded carelessly and turned The youth rose slowly, took two long steps and was by her side. "You're going to the ferry," he re- marked conversationally. One hand seised her shoulder and again the eyes met. Ceclle turned crimson, then pale with anger, as she realised the man would do exactly what he had sald. Stiffly she turned toward the ferry landing, the unknown by her side. On the ferry she did not address a word to the attentive squire' who, with knit brows, proffered a mote comfortable chair, a box of candy aid 4 shine from the young boot- ck. In the little park on the other side she sat calmly down on one of the benches and looked up at her rescuer. "1 certainly shall not show where I live," she began. Then she saw that the young man's handsome face was convulsed with mirth, and suddenly the humor of the situation rushed over her.

There are Telics of ancient engfiteering genius in China, some of which are classified among the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. They are: (1) The works of hydraulic engineers, chief of which is the Grand Canal, the gent canal in the world; (2) The works of wall-builders, which include the famous Great Wall and the less- known sea-wall, of more than one hundred and twenty miles in length, along the north bank of the Tsien tang river; (8) The works of struc- tural engineers, for example, suspen- sion bridges, arch bridges and pago- das, among which is the famous clep- sydra or water-clock of Canton. Why is China #0 backward when she at- tained such a highly developed civil- ization when Europe was in compara- tive obscurity? One solution which is of no little importance is that women have been kept down in China. mothers of the race, have hitherto been denied adequate educational op- portunities, and hypothetically, have retarded the progress of the Chinese race, It cannot be denmied that wo- man has a great responsibility in the building up of a nation for she watches over, teaches and guides the child of to-day who will be the leader of the world to-morrow.
