They were out for a good time and thought they were going to have It When they arrived at their banquet hall each husband found a note pinned to his napkin reading, "What about your poor wives and the children at home?" From the neighboring banqueting room there was noise of high revelry. The abashed husbands peeked In and to their dismay saw their wives holding a banquet of their own. The women bad entered the room by stealth from a rear entrance. Every time the men started to sing, their wives in the adjoining room did likewise, but from a different tune.

THE CITY HAIIROADS BUILT LIGHTS OF c-nt NEW YORK DIXON FRIENDS RBSU1LD HOME OF ORPHANS l- iV" Thriving Town Put on Map ,/; Jv Ru--MJ x ftWlKthgtot*--Harbin, Ch^A", has figured prominently In the recordbreaking travels of world girdlers, recently sprang Into the international spotlight when a group of Chinese raided the Soviet consulate. "Harbin Is almost as Russian as it Is Chinese," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographical society," although the city lies in central Manchuria about 200 miles from the nearest border line of Siberia. "In fact, the Russians really put Harbin on the map. Up to the latter part of the 'nineties,' the site of Harbin was a wild desolate region with a few fishermen's huts marking the only human habitation. Then In 1896 the Russion builders of the Trans-Siberian railroad, bent upon reaching Vladivostok, sought to cross Manchuria rather than to build a much longer line entirely in Russian territory. A treaty between China and Russia made the short line through Harbin possible. Chines^ See Possibilities. "Harbin was really born when Chinese railroad interests saw the feasibility of a line running southward from the Russian railroad. The site o€ Harbin was chosen as the Junction point. Passengers from Europe now may travel by rail to Harbin; thence to Mukden, the great Manchunan market place; and from there over any of three routes to Important cities of the Orient. One line leads to Tientsin and Peiping (formerly Peking), another to Dairen and Port Arthur, where passenger boats sail for southern China ports; another line bisects the Korean peninsula with one of its termini at Fusan, Where a boat ride across Chosen Strait will put the traveler Into Japan proper. "Born of the railroads, Harbin has also been reared by the railroads. Before the World war a railroad-employed telephone operator handled all telephone calls; the railroads built and maintained hospitals and schools, and even built the city's churches. In recent years, however, a portion of the municipal administration has been placed In the hands of the populace. "After but three decades, Harbin boasts a population of more than 100,000. Some of its streets In the old portion of the city in many respects resemble those of an American boom town with its bordering one-story shops. The gay-colored signssln Chinese and Russian attract the traveler's eye; but carts, droskies and loaded donkeys, mired In the hub-deep, mnd, occupy the attention of pedestrians and shopkeepers most of the time. "The railroad divides the so-called "New Town from the Wharf district On the New Town side, the traveler alights from a train at a station that many cities of America with more than Harbin's population would be proud to possess. There are some fine streets In the New Town district; on them are large, modern government buildings as well as structures that appear to have been erected when Harbin was much younger. Automobiles Gaining. "The drosky with Its horses framed fn bell-hung arches Is still popular in Harbin, but the taxieab and private automobile are available at the railroad station and at the hotels. "When a passenger alights from the train in this Chinese town, he is likely to hear more Russian than Chinese. Most of the Harbin hotels whose representatives besiege the traveler at the station are Russian or Japanese owned. Unless the English-speaking traveler can speak Russian, Chinese, Japanese, or a little French or German, he has difficulty in making his Wishes known. "The Wharf district across the railroad from the New Town and bordering the Sungari river Is Harbin's business section. Here the traveler gets glimpse of the bustling commercial life of the city; for Harbin has become a great market through which Commercial traffic between Siberia and China flows unceasingly. "The river front, when yellow soy beans are being shipped. Is a mass of amall sailing vessels, fillsd to the gunwales with huge sacks. Beans from these boats are destined to local and foreign consumers. Most interesting "bt the agricultural products seen In Harbin by the foreign traveler, however, are the Chinese cabbages which fresemble huge stalks of celery." A Real Touch of the Orieat New fork.--The dramatic critics never seem to visit the Bowery's Chinese theater, a novelty, to be sore. It Is housed in a building dingy past the point of dilapidation. The scenery is strangely assorted of old stock company sets eked out with chairs of uncertain lineage, brocaded cushions and other stage properties. The members of the orchestra sit in plain view on the stage. They appear In their shirt sleeves, their hats hung upon the scenery at the side. They play to lend "motif" to the drama. An Interesting point about these Chinese audiences, too. They are so steeped in the play that they readily prompt actors. If an actor hesitates for a second, his cue is likely to be shouted from the gallery. I Imagine all this would baffle oar critics--particularly the fact that one Provide New Shelter When Farmhouse Burns. sho tefi ore its presentation Is completed. Money la His Shoes Well, a fellow by the name of Billy Pierce, from Virginia, came to town and tried to figure out how to make a living. There are all kinds of rackets here.

The three are living In a new home--even If It Is just a shack--they have -lew furniture and clothing and the boy, Charles Moller, nineteen, can keep on with his man-sized program. Charles has been pegging away two years, and has made payments on a 40- acre farm, where he lived with Leona. thirteen, and Rose, seven. Leona was the "mother" ot Rose and did the housework. Charles worked for Earl Biller at a small farm sawmill. He helped Leona with her work 'after his regular hours, and the thi'ee were putting np the bravest fight anyone in these parts has ever seen. One night Charles went over to Louis Tumpack's farm, a quarter-mile away, for milk. He stopped to visit a while and started home after 9 p. ro. Halfway home he saw flames, a«d when he got there he found the two girls shivering In their nightclothes outside the burning house. They had been awakened by smoke and bad barely escaped. ^ It wasn't long before the news spread through Fern and Florence, and telephones began to ring. "Did you hear about the Moller children; what can you give for them?" Was the casual greeting. Women crossed backyards to carry the news. Biller, at the sawmill, said that they could live In a shack near the mill and soon after a table, a bed, then a chair eppeared. Clothing for the glrl^ had bee» brought early. By the end of the week the place was completely furnished and the children had more clothes, a stock of groceries, and even some money. Religion* ot World.
