By Frederic J. Haskin. Washington, Sept 22. Driving In Bubbling Well road between 6 and o'clock In the afternoon one, may nol only see Shanghai, Ita people, but be . ma.v ttnl Shanahai. Its charm. Bub- x bliug Well road (a a stage setting worthy of a pretty scene, and no one who loves life, color and the pursuit of happiness can be disappointed in in dully pageant Here may be aeen In sharp contrasts the various types of the lordly wnite man as ne is wnen n uvea far away from hla own people and his v racial home. Mere may De seen, -amu, the types of those Chinese who would ape their occidental brothers in man nara anil r.tiatnms. whether it be for 6al ration or for sin. Here may be seen, In epitome, a moving picture of the great human comedy, albeit colored with the rose, for on Bubbling Well road even Pinching poverty and sordid aln wear gay livery. It Xa a Beautiful Way. Bubbling Well road has lta beginning somewhere In the neart or me Du&y marts of commercial Shanghai as a mere street without particular or pecu liar graces. It leads out into more open spaces, passes by race tracks, by cricket fields, by baseball 'diamonds, by golf links. It marches down long aisles of red and gray brick garden walls, which . enclose veritable parks In which are set red and gray brick palaces. It mean ders along the bank of a tiny stream which coyly hides itself with huge hedges of graceful bamboo. It gives Feeps of cultivated fields where the armera plant and reap around, about and over the little mounds which are the revered graves of their worshipful ancestors. It decline to yield to the temrtatlon of srreen bypaths and lovers' lanes, keeps on past circus grounds and summer amusement paries, inroufrn an ugly detachment of necessary shops and finally comes to the BuDDimg wen. Wall Za Wo Attraction. The Bubbling Well la a deep sprln aurrounded by a low wall of red an array brick over which the newcomer leans to look upon the wonder of a common ordinary bubbling spring. It Is then that one knows that the Bub bllng Well Is nothing, the road's the thine. One doesn't drink from the Bub bllng Well, one never looks at It but once, and lis only use Is to give a name to the course over which Shanghai life must run some time between tea time and dinner time of a pleasant afternoon. Set hard by that disappointing well la a caravanserai where men and women of Shanghai do alight and compose themselves for a dish of tea, a peg of Scotch and soda or a vile Imitation of some American-born intoxicant. From the-low windows of thin resting place, there tare several such places. In act that portion of the nacreant which Is be lng refreshed by drink and food looks out upon that portion of the parade which has Just been refreshed, or which Is about to- be refreshed In a similar manner in a very Tew moments. ; Smart Turnout? In Bvldenc. Driving with . the rest of them we have aeen the road and Us wonders; now being out of the show and in the act of being; refreshed we look on. Rather smart. Isn't It? Scores of well set up vletorlaa drawn by good looking horses carry those who do not own their own turnouts. Shanghai has the best car riages for hire in the world.

The coachman knows everything about driving except how to drive carefully, and woe be unto the luckless and Impertinent person who dares to select Bubbling Well road for pedestrlanlsm during the crowded hour or tne arternoon drive. The rootman does nothing after the most approved and conventional footman fashion of do ing nothing. Together they furnish the giory. Bnt These Are Pilar.
