Fralick, seemed to have a large meaning as we had but to lift up our eyes to see the blue canopy of the "Heavens stretched but like a curtain)" and the dyvirting clouds and the green trees and hills and valleys of which the Psalmist spoke. The poem "Summer suns are Glowing," as read by Mrs, Joblin, was much enjoyed. Mrs. D. Hope contributed a beautiful reading on the subject of "prayer" which was iollowed by a duet by Mrs, J.

Precautions had been taken to secure the greatest privacy, and the officiating clergyman, Rev A. L. Lumb, rector of Burslem, did not know whose ashes were to be in- terred until he arrived at the cem- etery.

The book is by L. C. Ar- lington retired Commissioner of the Chinese Postal Service. It is called "Through the Dragon's Eyes." Mr, Arlington reveals that some of the bandit gangs he came across when serving in lonely frontier stations or Customs posts were led by wo- men worse than the men under their command. Some of the foreigners in the cus- toms married Chinese women. The author points out that white women married to Chinese did not fare so pleasantly. "There were a number of white women married to Chinese round about Canton, and these poor mis-guided women could often be seen standing up to their thighs in possible to persuade a Chinese that a woman who used her «clothes to § show off her figure could possibly possess the least trace of modesty." Blue or grey are repulsive to Chi- nese, and the author also indicates that they do not like the small of Europeans.
