Chiffon voiles, pencil-striped with vcl Among Chinese By Clyde Witmer; There are five distinct classes -of peo ple among the Chinese. The first and highest class Is that of the scholar. Among the ranks of the yellow man the Chinaman's intellect and his ability of mind are considered superior even to wealth. Tljls mental . powert tbey argue, enables bim to provide food, raiment, and shelter for himself, his family, ahd fre quently for many of his relatives, .The tecond class Is th agricultural type of Mongolian. The human boay cannot ex ist without food. ' Likewise th human mind cannot act without the body, and for this reason the Job of farming U considered absolutely essential to the existence of man. Especially Is this view taken among the more Intelligent of the Chinese. : The mechanic Is ac corded the position qf third placa in the society "of the Celestials. The man who builds a house forms a shelter for him self and his family. Next to food, the shelter Is an absolute necessity, and the Chinaman who earns his bread by me chanical means is duly accorded tha po sition next .1ft honorable rank 6 .the man who provide the food. The fourtn class is the Mongolian tradesman.' As the native peoples have Increased In numbers, their want have naturally be come multiplied and this has created the necessity of a business making of sale and . exchange. In view of this , the Celestial merchant has come Into exist ence. Ills occupation is considered as one of rather low. grade because of his brokerage fees, which fees , he derive form shaving the profit of both the buyer - and the seller, the producer!; as welt as the consumer" lowest .In the list of aristocrats In China stands the soldier. This position Is accorded him because he consumes what, other pro duce, and produces nothing. The busi ness of the soldier is to destroy, and not to build up aopiety. ; The military man haa always been looked upon as a necessary though very unwholesome evil. During - th past two decades, however, the yellow man haa been com pelled to alter his antagonistic view re garding the military man In China, for his nation has been taught to Its ex treme sorrow by foreign . nations , the utter weakness of its national defenses and Us Inability to . repel an. invading foe.

My wife," ha added, "has the hiding habit,- I've told her time and again to rent a safety deposit box downtown, but she never got around to it. Anyway, she , always thought It was safer to hide. things around the house, having a notion that she was smarter than any burglar could possibly be. "The only trouble with this scheme was that one in a while she forgot wnere sne a niaaen .tnings.. and we couidnf find them when we wanted them. . Then my wife would sav: ' " 1 thought I put it her or there but I must have changed my mind. Any way, I know it's, in a perfectly safe piace "So we didn't worry, and br-and-bv the thing would turn up. -But we never could locate mr wlfe'a diamond earrings. I - gave them to her on her last birthday nearly a year ago and she only wore them once. We went off on a little trip shortly after. and Instead of taking the earrinaa with ner, sue put them in a "perfectly safe piace- somewnere in the house. "When we came home my wife wanted those earrings to wear, but they were not where she thought she remembered putting ; them, All of th other hid den things were brought to light, but those diamond earrings seemed to have vanished Into thin air. We turned tho nouse upside down hunting them. "'But I'm not Worried one bit' com forted my wife. 'I know -Til find them some day, because they're In a perfectly saie piace. to very fact that w can' find" them provea-that.' ' . ''Now, a couple of week ago my wife was away from home, th children were In school, and the maid had gone out for something, leaving the side door unlocked. It was the very opportunity mr a sneax inier ana he took it. When my wife got home she found every small valuable gone even th silver tops were unscrewed rrom the salt shakers, "I sent word to the Police and dldn hear much more about it until a couple of days ago when they told me to coriie down to the station to sea If they had any or my sturr. as they'd nabbed fellow and found a 1 of .goods, some or it tauying with my descriptions.

When the kitchen IS fitted with a wood range It will be an economy to make soup at home instead of buying It ready prepared, because odds and ends of food can be utilized which might otherwise be thrown away, while there will be no cost for cooking, as th fire must be made anyway. Bv souo making stock is understooa, variations being made frorfli the same stock. Brown stock is made from beef alone usually, though vegetables, veal, and poultry are sometimes used in com. blnatlon. i White stock is made from veal ana chicken. If Vegetables are added tnese ------ . 1 should be white, as celery and onion. Fish stock Is made from nsn oniy. Lamb or mutton, too, "must be useo alone, though a little salt meat, as pork. bacon or ham may oe usea ijubi y of adding a flavor) to any and all soups. Stock Is the, Juices of the meat brought out by long ana very stow cooking. If soup Is allowed to boll It can never be properly cieareq arter wards, because the boiling dissolves ths lime In th bones and this causes cloudiness. Soup meats Include the lower or touah art of the round of beef, also the. shin and neck pieces, the knuckle of veal, and fowls too old for roasting. Any desired vegetables may be used, but If the soup is to be kept for any length of time these should be omitted, because they ferment quickly. A granite or enamelware kettle Is best foe soup. The lid should be tight to prevent the steam escaping. A towel folded ; and placed on the cover Is a good Idea; rrum Hanoi tirnnnrHnna far stock are as follows: One pound of meat and one 1 aslt tn nna mmrt nf raid icnoywiii v. v" w water. To four quarts of water use one each of onions, carrots, and turnips, two sticks of celery, two or three sprays of parsley, one bay leaf, 12 pepper corns, lx cloves, and one pinch of thyme. Meat for stock should be cut Into pieces not more khan two Inches square, and bone should be well broken or cracked. -This Is done so the gelatine they contain may be more quickly re leased. Turn on the cold water and allow the whole to stand for 15 minutes. Then the pot should be placed over the fire and allowed to come gently to the sim mering point. The pot is then pushed back and the slow cooking continues for five or six hours. Vegetables are added about an hour before the soup is served . Stock when ready snouia oe strainea Into an earthen vessel and be allowed to cool' uncovered. Never allow soup to remain In the stock pot Eat wllWorm on the top and this helps to keep the stock, so It Is a good plan to use sev eral small Jars Instead of ope large bowl The soup will keep as long as the cake of fat is not broken. Chicken stock IS made as follows: Cut an average size fowl into pieces and cover with four quarts of cold water. Bring to boiling point and then gently simmer for three hours. The season ings are one slice of onion, a couple of sticks of celery, one tablespoonful of salt, and one Bait spoonful of pepper. To make a fish stock put one table spoonful of butter or other fat Into the soup kettle, and in It frv, half a chopped onion, three slices or carrot cnopped, 1 and th same quantity of turnip. Add j the fishbones, head, etc with a little parsley, a pinch of thyme, a bay leaf, some coarse leaves of celery, and a : tomato, " ' - I Cover .with cold water and simmer from one to one and one half hours.
