Chinkiang, China, Sept.—You must
not think that because your China
correspondent hasn’t written for
some time that this old land has fold
ed her tent and stolen away Into the
gloomy night of the sunset. China
is much too bulky an object to evade
notice in that kind of a fashion, and
1 am pretty sure she has no such in
tention at the present time, quite the
contrary, In fact.
It was our privilege to have a little
while up on the mountain of Ruling
for a part of this summer, and, while
there, one was in a position to see
something of mission work going on
all over the land. The census of the
visitors was taken while we were
there, and there were something
over one thousand foreigners at that
time, and most of these were^ mis
sionaries. There were a little more
than four hundred British, and just
under four hundred American resl-
dent there at the time. I might ex
plain that this mountain is about

a riot a few weeks ago when some of
ficial, at the request of a foreigner,
wanted to stop the sale of melons, a
very fruitful source of cholara. For
the farmers were aot going to lose
their trade. The wonder remains
how It is that most of people are not
carried off right away with some foul
disease, for the streets are cess pools
of filth, and a visit to the native
street in hot weather is a trial, a
physical trial of scenes and sights
and sounds and smells.
Yesterday a woman came in and
said that one of our members was
very bad with something like cholera.
Later I went with the doctor down
to see, her and she had been very
bad, but it was not quite cholera.
She was carried back to her home to
day, and I have not heard whether
she has survived or not. One never
knows these day who may struck
down. Several foreigners have died
in Hankow up the river, but fortu
nately there has been no case of for

have our troubles, but one who Is not
on the spot cannot realize how little
of life’s good things these Chinese
have, and how many of the sorrows.

Mills have purchased from the Lowell
Pretty Novelties Bhown for Late Ar
rivals from Babyland.
There must be a whole army of
people planning and working to sup
ply the needs of small strangers from
Babyland. Nothing more fascinating
can be imagined than the display of
such wares made at the various high
grade shops and at the exchanges.
Dainty Simplicity.
Daintiness, combined with practi
cal simplicity, is the most notable
features of all these baby outfits.
Where lavish expenditure is indul
ged it goes for fine materials, and
exquisite needle-work and embroid
ery, rather than for fussy elaborat
ion which Is reckoned altogether bad
taste in a layette.
The Long Clothes.
Sensible people confine their se
lection of the baby’s existence to a
plentiful supply of little slips of nice
material untriramed except for lace
at neck and sleeves and to the neces
sary long flannel skirts for day and
night wear which may be of the
finest, softest flannel daintily em
broidered or simply finished with
featherstitched hems. They wait un
til short clothes are donned to pro
vide regulation dresses ami more
elaborate apparel.
Acceptable Presents.
Little wrappers and nightingale
sacks of cashmere prettily embroid
ered are favorite presents always
acceptable, and one is sure to re
ceive a few hand-made dresses suit
able for any important occasion;
like the christening or Christmas
holiday gathering, when the baby is
to be very much in evidence. All
sorts of warm knitted blankets, and
afgans, and wraps of embroidered
flannel, or tufted silk, are ust-ful and
attractive gifts, that add to the com
fort and pleasure of the recipients.
The Best Styles in Skirts and Shirts.
Little woven shirts of fine ribbed
material that button down the front
like coats are the best style garment
in this class. These are all wool,
silk, or mixtures and have a tab at
the lower front edge to hold the
shield pin and keep the baby’s gar
ments together so that they will be
smoothe and not slip, thus adding
materially to his comfort.
Short Clothes for Girls and Boys.
At six months most babies are put
Into short clothes and the wise
mother has the first flannels, etc., of
a length that will cut into two gar
ments of the same sort.
From the time when short clothes
are donned fashion decrees that the
boy’s outfit shall be marked by a cer
tain simplicity of style and tailor
like finishes and trimmings to pro
claim his place and dlfferenttiata his
appearel from the girlish daintiness
proper to his sisters.
A Practical Suggestion.
At six months mothers are apt to
have an anxious and babies a moat
uncomfortable time, .for this la the
period when the weaning is usually
accomplished. An easy way to
get over this, 1 s to begin
giving the baby one or two
daily feedings of a high grade, pre
pared baby food like Nestle's in con
nection with bis natural sustenance.
Most children need additional feed
ing after the first three months, some
even earlier, and If this plan la fol
lowed, the child Is so accustomed to
the scientifically prepared food, that
the weaning can be made without
any fretting or physical disturbance.
The New “Cosy."
One of the senstible pretty novel
ties shown this season is a warm
sleeping bag of eiderdown flannel
double-faced, blue and white, or
pink and white, bound with ribbon
matching the color and tied with
soft bows of the same. These are
termed "Cosies” and when the child
is safely tucked and tied Into the
warm nest that they form, he Is per
fectly protected from any draught or
sudden change of temperature, and
can get all the fresh air that he
needs without far of chill.
