Employees in Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom­ en and Children Working Twelve Hour Shifts. The more Important question un­ derneath the clothes question is what sort of appeal the new “audacious" styles are intended to make, or do make, says the Boston Transcript. Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale's entertaining talk on this question starts off by saying frankly: “I do not believe that dress is based on a sex appeal." She thinks it is rather the reflection of a class appeal—the at- tempt to display wealth. After democracy had done away with man’s lace cuffs, frills, wigs, vel­ vet cloaks anil such ostentatious lux­ ury of nttlre It became bad form for a man to show his class by his clothes, and so lie advertises his prosperity by­ dressing up his wife. "The modern American wife,” says Mrs. Hale, “is nothing short of a shop window for her bushifnd; she shows off his success. I speak of the average human critter, of course. not of the Intellectual man. The cause of the In­ herent snobbishness of overdress comes from aping the thoughts of the old society system of Europe. Our edu­ cation In dress here in America has come from the merchant who has goods to sell; we don’t know where we are today, trying to wear all the styles these merchants are willing to sell us. We do not wear flimsy ma­ terials because we are trying W make a sex appeal, but because It is to the interest of the merchant to sell us ___ _ perishable. ______ ” something What terrible creatures these women are who think and know how to speak ! The mistake Was In letting them learn the alphabet! One-fourth of the women In the world are Chinese—200,000,000 of them. They are going luto Industry In large numbers to work long hours and for little money. In Shanghai, for instance, seventy per cent, of the employees in the cotton mills are women and children. Working hours for spinners are from six in the morning until six at night and from six at night until six In the morning. Weavers work from 5:30 In the morning until seven at night and the wages are from ten to twenty cents a day. Hundreds of women are em­ ployed in silk filature mills, standing hour after hour washing cocoons In basins of boiling water in the ex­ cessively hot rooms necessary for apartments where fine silk Is spun In Canton alone, there are 150,000 women in factories at a maximum wage of forty cents a day for women and of fifteen cents a day for girls. As part of Its program of world service for women the National Young Women’s Christian Association is ex­ peering to put on its staff of sec- retarles In China an expert on 1n- dustrial conditions who will develop aocial work In factories, and work to Improve conditions for women em­ ployees. This work will include the Introduction of recreation and social life among the workers and of health lectures .and educational classes.

The vast majority of Chinese men remember their mothers as cripples Many a girl wanders into a mission school who has not had her own feet bound, but has never seen a woman of her own class who could walk, and, therefore, she walks In a most ungain­ ly fashion—scarcely conscious of her natural feet. The Chinese Medical Association— an Association composed only of Chi­ nese physicians mostly graduates from American and English Institutions— have asked the entire educated commu­ nity of the country to co-operate In better health for the children of Chi­ na. All the Mission Boards operating •In China felt that one of the greatest contributions the Young Women's Christian Association could offer to the health of China would be to es tabllsh a normal school for the train­ ing of physical directors. Accordingly, In Shanghai, which Is the greatest port In China, the nation­ al committee established such a school In 1914. The school has won favor with all educationist“, both missionart and government. There have already been nine graduates from this school Miss Ying Mel (.'bun, a graduate of the Wellesley School of Physical Edu cation, has been dean of the school Graciantes of the school are scattered from Canton to Peking, teaching win conspicuous success In twelve mission and government schools.
