On printed silk dresses the linâ€" gerie touch is most daintily added by. crisp organdie in white or one of the pastel colors of the print design.‘ One feminine afternoon dress which‘ was a mist of soft pastel shades had a narrow ruffling of organdie at the throat, a ruffling which tier at the base in modified kerchief style, and wide cuffs with double ruffles. i Necklines have changed; there is obtious proof of that on each of the season‘s newâ€"frotks, but there is evidence, too, that they ‘will change much more.

In our most thoughtful literature we do not find antagonism to the West. Added to this huge mass of material we have works of the great Chinese geniuses of the past, classical literature in essays and novels that are perhaps as popuâ€" lar now as at any time. China has many legends and myths which are woven into its writings, and much poetry. ‘Moonlight‘ is a poem that is sung and recited and loved by milâ€" lions of Chinese. It was written in the year 1036." "Then we have a few contemporary Chinese novels," explained Mrs. Hung. "One of these, ‘Such a Family, is written very much in the style of a Western novel and is now in its fifâ€" teenth edition. ‘These stories either criticie the present life of China or challenge the rew methods it has adopted. ‘The trend in our modern literature is realistic as opposed to romanticism, and its pages discuss freely the things formerly wrapped in mysticism and beautiful allegories. |_China, too, has great stores of Hitâ€" crature that have come down the cenâ€" turies, and which have shaped the thought and culture,'despite the Westâ€" ern inflaence®*, which are seeping into the new China.
