HAKUIN, (AP) Til is city, reputed

leM wicked than supposed.
Thoso morally atrocious but some
times alluring forms of amusement
that have given o tho world the
phrase, 'demi-monde. anil long since
found to have abandoned their tradi
tional haunts in Paris, Vienna, Ha
vana and P.iu tlos Aires, wore sup
posed to have found refuge in Mar
bin. Kvon Shanghai, known as n man's
I town and a port which rumor has
1 portrayed as a city f lotus and pop

The truth is, noil her Shanghai nor

i Is all worked tip over tho quest Ion :
(Can a cabaret girl bo good? in Jlar
bin the problem is io. get cabaret

Harbin is a young and foreign town.
It is Hussion rather than 'Chinese. It
is a mixture of village and metropolis;
of crudoness ami elegance ami of
gaudy gaiety and ot those sMirdior
pursuits common to Hie Wolvillos and
Main Streets of every country. There
is no drainage and in wet weal her

principal occupation of ibo shopkeep
ers here seems to bo silting down.
There are many women and girls
from tly grottos of .Moscow and Pot
rogrnd ad from nearer tdllos who
are hero lo amuse and be amused, but
above all to get In Ibis wild, . new
place n. livelihood or perhaps a small
fortune which "some day the.v hopo
to take back to relatives. Hut there
are plenty of good women, too. Tho
fresh ruddy laces of women lately
peasants or the daughters of peasants
abound. And like the women of all
new towns wdio have menfolk and
children to care for they work hard.
Kvon in this mud and In I hose sor
did places where men and women
meet to drink and fiance and sing as
a means of escaping reality tluro N
pbuily of vanity. As much In propor
tion to tho feminine population, per
haps, as was to ho found at the old
Kronoh courts, opportunities; consid
ered. No girl is too young to manage
to obtain a Ifpsiiok. And ninny lips
here are far too crimson to bo the
work of wind and sun.
Ami so the people not bent on bus
iness alone play and smile and wait,
keeping wdiat peace they can with Ihr
i 'hi nose authorities and hoping the
"Mods' will not come to make things
worse.
