the Society of the Ntural Feet, has
been established, its sole purpose be-
ing the extermination of pedal slav-
ery throughout tbe Celestial king-
dom. Its membership, as yet total-
ly inadequate " to expenite progress,
is composed of native and foreign
women. Its first step towardre-
form is the publication of its pro-
paganda and a petition to foreigners
to aid in freeing Cliinese women from
mortifying customs.
When you come right down to the,
bottom of the Matter it is time the ,
women of China were given a chance
to catch up with their we.steen sis-
ters. There is no reaSon on earth
to believe they are not naturally
gifted with as broad an understand-

not be footless. In there is any-
