MISSIONARY TO CHINA SAYS
THAT NATION HAS FLAPPERS
SfKA
m
13, 1939
Dear Editor: Here comes a letter
from this land of intrigue, graft, war-
fare, famine, suffering, chaos, to tell
you wind the readers of your excellent
paper about China* new woman who
has a share in the “goings-on.”
If a woman in China, twenty years
ago, had been given a Rip Van Win-
kle sleep, she would be more surprised
than he was, should she awake today.
Then women had to stay indoors and
work something like domestic animals.
Or, if of a better family, be cooped up
at home and stay there. She was al-
lowed to be seen only by her husband
or brothers.
Now what a change! The modi
Chinese young women skip around t
streets with a spring, grace and
ing them to dress modestly. The girls
have even learned to flirt in the most
up-to-date way. That’s freedom! They
dsnee in the latest stylci They ride
horses, astride, with boots and riding
breeches. “That’s English, you know.”
Once the ideal for girls was that
they be able to do beautiful needle-
work at home. Now they are doing
other things. They arc clerks in
stores. Some are typists and stenog-
raphers. Some are bankers. They play
the organ or the piano or other musi-
cal instruments. Some ere becoming
movie artists or actresses. Some are
lawyers and judges, doctors, teach-
ers and kindergartners .They even be-
come soldiers and sometimes they be-
come generals’ secretaries! Women
also become street-corner politicians
and scream the revolutionary plati-
tudes, such as “Down with imperial-
the missions can be proOd and tlmnk-
from a nation in which the Pe®P'®
have been brought up for ages in ill
■physical and moral; but a new gen-
eration is coming on, born anew in
church of Christ and in these
clean Christian homes. We are ex-
pecting much for China from such.
Things are out of joint in China,
but we hope and pray that the com-
mon sense of better Chinese and the
deeply planted power of the Gospe
will gradually overcome the criminal
influences and that China will find
peace, prosperity, and a place among
the great nations of, the world.
(Rev.) H. G. C. Hallock, Shanghai,
China.
