ABSTRACT

China is virtuous country. Women kept home because men hold them so high other men must not even look upon them nor speak to them. Chinese women earnest, they not spend time making their hair crooked on irons, making their waists small, making their dresses full of frills, and changing all time. Chinese not strive for how to look but how to be. The conveniences of the Chinese costume are well illustrated in the following incident: a Chinese Government representative, who was new to American ways, came to the home of an eminent New York banker for a week's visit. It was winter, but he came without luggage, and yet every day he appeared at dinner with a change of garments. At first his hostess wondered how he managed it, but soon she discovered that his body was his trunk, and that instead of putting his clothes into his trunk, he put his trunk into his clothes.
