ItlVEtflHG- kBjb0$E-PBlLADJ0LPHIA, tfUE&DAY, MAT 9, 1916, Pi s ;. i wt r &. i I ff. . i l ;- ufL M'LISS RECOMMENDS TRAVEL BOOKLETS TO " STAY-AT-HOMES" See America, and the Far Indies, Too, Via the Imagination Koute, If You're Pocket book's Flat WHAT n glorious possession Is art Imagination! I've always been convinced of this, but I never realized its Cult possibilities untli I talked to the Travel Bureau Man. He's tho encyclopedic individual, you know, who can tell you offhand Just vrhtn tho trains leave for "Baloochlstan," -wherever that may be, and how much It costs to go to Costa Hlca, There's no Use trying to trap him, for you can't do It. Tucked away in his brain there's nn appalling mass of Information regarding boat arrivals, and departures, train schedules, tho climates of the world, hotels, their accommodatlohs and prices, tho best doses to tako for sea-sickness and what luggage you ought to lug when going to Norway, tho land of tho midnight sun. He's surrounded by h. whole library full of the most colorful literature. Indeed, It's almost Impossible to describe these gorgeous pamphlets without drop ping into, or climbing up to, tho rtimutatlng hyperbolo that the descriptive artists who are responsible for them use to lure tho unwary tourist to Jamaica, New foundland or Pike's poak. St. Johns Is "tho most wonderful Mecca of tho most Impressive beauty and tugged grandeur." , In Visiting Quebec the word wizards caution us, we should not miss "the many imposing religious edifices, tho architectural splendor of Its houses of Parliament, or tho towering citadel that commands Its topmost heights, or, per chance tho medievalism that clings to It In spite of centuries of progress." Nor should you miss the rock on which tho fortress Is built, "tho rock that Is trans cendental, overshadowing all elsa tho fabric foundation stono of the wonderful civilization that has been built up In this hemisphere." The Panama Canal boats, wo are told, "represent finality In the science of shipbuilding" and tho service to bo obtained on them Is equal to "that of the finest and most exclusive metropolitan cafes.'' "" But If you think tho Imagination of these painters of pen pictures of other lands Is superdcveloped you aro mistaken. Ask the Travel Bureau Man. Ho will tell you that thero Is a. class of people whoso power to imagine Is far In excess of that of tho pamphlet writers. It's tho people who from year to year stop in at the bureau and "make out" they are going on long and fascinating trips those who never get away even for two weeks at tho seashore! "There arc two Httlo drled-up women," tho Travel Man told me, "who come In hero every season and simply pore over tho booklets. They never blfy a ticket; Indeed, thajr seldom buy clothes. They've been stopping In hero for years and I've not noticed anything rtew In tho way of hats or Biilts. But traveling via the imagination route Is chenp and they go the limit on It. "Last year they came In and frelghtod themselves with literature on Japan. They wanted to knpw when the cherry bLssom season was; If one steamer trunk was sudlclent for the two of them; whether the Pacific liners wero all that they should be In point of modern equipments. They went away, pamphlets under arm, with their eyes shining. "This year they're 'doing' the Rockies, by way of the Great Lakes. I know for a fact that they live In one room In a boarding house on a mere pittance and never get as far as Atlantic City." Thoro's something pathetic about these two women, and somothlng humor ous, too. Perhaps if one cannot afford to take a steamer do luxe and go sailing away to Bermuda or other happy lands, one Is foolish, after all. not to do a little traveling via tho Imagination route. M'LISS.

I had occasion to realize this many times In my recent trip to the Far East, dranted that there are exceptions, the large ma jority of tho women In the Orient are either toys or drudges. ,In British North Borneo I saw large crowds of women with stolid expressions, crushing stones in the quarries, or doing plck-and-shovel work In the streets un der the tropical sun. They alt wore black cotton coats and trousers, and large, per fectly flat hats of cane, with a black cot ton ruffle finishing the edge nil around. They belong to tne lowest caste, and are called llakl women. Their husbands. In the majority of cases, dreamt their days away in the numerous and freely acres etble opium places. In China I saw old women, bent with years, knee deep in the thick mud of theJ rce paaaies transplanting one by one with" Infinite patience the stalks of rice, Their method of raising rice Is -very primi tive, the rice being first planted close to gether and later transplanted by hand, one stalk at a time back breaking work at best, and done mostly by the women. Later, In Nagasaki, Japan, where our steamship stopped to take on coal, the coaling' was done by men and women, as many of the latter aa of the former. Tons and tons of coal were passed in baskets up the side of the ship by these women, some of them With babies tied to their backs In the Japanese manner, A drli rllng, chilling rain that kept up for hours did not in the least interfere with their toll. For a day's work the captain told me the men received 30 sen, the women SO sen, or in American money 15 and 10 so small as it seems, As for the women of the wealthy classes, to be sure, hoy do not have to toll, nor suffer bodily hardships, but their lot seems far from enviable compared to that of an American woman of like stand ing. That they recognize this themselves I had occasion to learn from a dainty little Japanese lady who was traveling with her husband, baby and nurs on the same liner across the Pacific. She spoke English very well, and with an alluring accent. While the American and European ladles donned evening gowns for dinner, and later played bridge or danced or conversed, this little Japanese stayed demurely In her cabin. Her hus band, needless to say, was on deck en Joying the diversions My cabin was across from hers, and one evening she called me In to see her dear fat brown baby asleep. I asked her why she did not come up for dinner, was she seasick? 'Oh. no," she laughed, "but our cus toms dq not allow us to mingle with strange men. A lady must stay In her home. It must be interesting upstairs." she added wistfully, and then with a roguish smile she said: "I hope In my next incarnation I shall be an American lady," An Autograph O'er the wet sands an insect crept Ages ere man on earth an known.
