To the Editor of the oura-Cata Darty Nei uch has been written in the na Daily News about the Anti-Suciety and very likely much more will be written on that important subject.
Now I don't think it a bad idea if someone in Shanghai would begin to form a Society of Young Chinese who will not marry small feet women.
'At present nearly all. young Chinese think it awfully out of fashion to marry big feet women; from their early years they have heard nothing else but of the prettiness of the Lily-foot, and therefore they require a good deal' of plain talk, which they easily could have at evening meetings.
few days ago T spoke to a fine young fellow who will soon marry, but wants Lily-feet, of course. Well," I'said to him, "you had better have a look at the inbour mass, of a foot before you marry, very likely you will have naught of small feet then.
Another young fellow also objected to Inrge feet, but was more or less compelled to marry one with large feet who was, besides, a Christian. Well, this young woman objected to her husband putting idols in the house. Now, of course, great trouble hand, which ended in favour of the ian young wife, the husband had to do without his idols at his house anyhow.
have never heard or read of such a firm: behaviour of a Chinese Christian and a woman at that.
Both the young men mentioned here are Cantonese, who hid a good deal to do with foreigners; still they long for Lily-feet. What will be the state of such young Chinese who never met a foreigner?
Thanking you for the trouble, and enclosing my card, Lam, ete., Apvasce Curva.
