She tells about their Christmas and New Years. There is an unpopular movement to start another school in Peking and Mary and Flora are not happy about it. Envelope labeled “Opened by Censor No. 2255.” Letter from the collection of Virginia Van Andel.] Jan. 3 [1919] Dear Ones at Home- Vacation seems to be a busier time than school time. Already we have had two weeks and it seems like a few days only. School closed December 19th. The 20th was taken up in seeing the children off and tidying up after them. We had guests for supper too. On Saturday Flora, Miss Parsons and I gave the five boys of the compound a Christmas present of a trip to Peking. We took the early train; spent the morning in the foreign shops or the Tung An Shi Chang (Market outside the East Gate); had a Chinese meal at a Chinese restaurant; went to Lun Fo Ssl (A Temple fair) in the afternoon and home on the afternoon train. It was the first real cold day and every time we saw a stove we hugged it to warm our toes. It was great fun to help the boys in choosing their Christmas gifts. Mrs. Stelle commissioned me to buy a present of a piece of brass or cloisonné priced $5.00. I had great fun doing it and purchased three brass articles in the effort. Every time I got the article short of the five dollars and on returning told her. I couldn‘t spend so much on one piece because the men were so eager to sell they took my offer too soon. On Christmas Day Flora and I were presented with a brass bowl by the Stelle family. How we laughed when we recognized the one I had especially admired of those I had purchased for Mrs. Stelle. Little did I suspect it was my own present I was buying. Flora and I had to take another day in Peking to do our own shopping. Christmas day was a full one and a most happy one. We started with a breakfast at Mrs. Martin‘s. All our gifts were these too, so after breakfast we hunted packages all over the two living rooms. Then we went down the line to see the trees and call a ―Merry Christmas‖ to everyone. At Dr. Smiths‘s we stopped for a real call. We dressed again and went out to dinner at the Martin‘s or Leipers at 1.00 P.M. The afternoon was given over to getting ready for the children‘s party to be held at our home at 5.00. We had games until 6.30. Then everyone ate supper together in our school dinning rooms. Mr. Yarrow can pride himself on having kissed every woman present under the mistletoe. Again we dressed for an evening party at the Leiper-Yarrow home. We had great fun with ―pillow duck[?]‖, ―blind man‘s bluff‖ etc. until 11.00. Then we ate some more and were home about mid night. At our home we all pitched in the next day to help catalogue our library. We find that we have 750 books of all sort, novels, poems, histories, essays, Bible helps, reference works etc. On Thursday I went to Peking for supplies and got an invitation to go up for the Friday Club the next afternoon. I accepted with alacrity. Dr. Dennis spoke on ―Territorial Readjustment after the War.‖ It was well worth going to. As I wrote Alice Frame, with whom I stayed, it showed that some of the compensations one could get if our school were moved to Peking are great. The movement to move the school to Peking is on foot. Or rather the movement is to start another school in Peking and swallow us because of a lack of funds to compete. There are two sides and nearly the whole American population is lined up on one side or the other. We were quite worried for awhile but think the danger is lessening as the facts are being brought out. Both Flora and I have been earnestly requested to stay out another year because of the difficulty of getting anyone out to fill our places this next year. We have said ―yes‖ if the school stays here but ―no‖ if it moves to Peking. I have stated that I will return after a year at home if the trustees desire. If the school goes to Peking I ask for a raise of $100 because one of the chief arguments for moving us to Peking has been that the teachers might have the advantage offered[?]. In enumerating the advantages nearly every one requires from $1 to $12 annually to be able to enjoy it. Hence I think a special enumeration is due. Perhaps you guess that I am not desirous of making the move? I bought a lovely new gown about Thanksgiving time. It is dark old gold in color, of soft silk and made with the new side pouch, braid and fringe trimming, the round neck etc. I will have a snap shot of that and my new big black velvet hat taken for you to see. My wardrobe of 1914 which I brought out is getting very low. This is the first new hat for winter and except for the serge dress you sent the first dress except wash dresses for summer. I am having my ?? that I brought out made over and already am wearing the brown serge remodeled with some brown velvet I bought in a Chinese store. Jan. 6- To go on with our vacation. On New Years Day Flora received with Mrs. Corbett and I with Mrs. Porter. At our home we had 75 guests at least. I may have omitted a few from my list but surely not many. It was great fun especially as I had not done it for two years now. Flora and I went to Mrs. Burgesses for the night. Mrs. Porter wanted us there but Flora does not wish to accept her hospitality to that extent. On Thursday we had the morning with Mrs. Burgess and baby David. We took lunch with Mrs. Edwards and were off at 3.00 to do a few errands on the way to the train. We have been having tea here every afternoon this vacation for ourselves and all who can drop in. At least three or four come every day. On Thursday when we came from Peking we all went to Mrs. Martins for tea. Her tea was coffee and awfully good. We tried to have a home party this week end and succeeded in getting two (2) guests. Four probably guests were ill at the last minute. Others were kept in town by a reception for the new pastor of Union Church, Mr. Beers, who reached Peking last Friday. He is father to Douglas Beers who is English teacher here in the Academy. We had a dinner party Saturday evening of twelve. We invited people here to fill the places of out-of -town guests. Later every one was over for games. We served fruit punch and chocolate cake as ―a sign that it was time to go home‖ and our guests left about 11.00. Yesterday morning we took rickshas and went to see the chairs hanging on the wall outside the East Gate; stopped at the candy shop; and visited the pagoda. Two of us walked home from there but the others rode all around. We went through the hospital on the way home. In the afternoon, altho it was Sunday, we went for tea to the Yarrows. Mr. and Mrs. Ackerman were there. He is correspondent for the New York Times. Mr. Yarrow met him in Siberia. He is on the way to France now. We had a fine letter from Stanley and Myra enclosing several snap shots of Nancy. How I long to see her! I do not want to stay out another year but are no way out unless I am ready to see the work of five years go for nothing since no new person can be gotten this year. Jean Dudley goes anyway. Phebe‘s letter of Nov. 4 was the last from here. I am eager for the one telling of the peace news. We have not been any more generous in gifts this year but everywhere there is a spontaneity and freedom that has been lacking the last four years. We will be on the look out for the linen you mention, Phebe. I hope much of the restrictions of importing will be re??ed[relieved?] so we can bring more freely. We are still hoping to get Mother‘s fur coat to her somehow. Stanley writes that Phebe did make her visit. We are glad to get the music. Others in the compound have all but the ―Consecration Hymn‖ so I had heard it and knew some of it.

Manchus: A Horse of a Different Color by Hannah Knight Abstract: The question of identity has been one of the biggest questions addressed to humanity. Whether in terms of a country, a group or an individual, the exact definition is almost as difficult to answer as to what constitutes a group. The Manchus, an ethnic group in China, also faced this dilemma. It was an issue that lasted throughout their entire time as rulers of the Qing Dynasty (1644- 1911) and thereafter. Though the guidelines and group characteristics changed throughout that period one aspect remained clear: they did not sinicize with the Chinese Culture. At the beginning of their rule, the Manchus implemented changes that would transform the appearance of China, bringing it closer to the identity that the world recognizes today. In the course of examining three time periods, 1644, 1911, and the 1930’s, this paper looks at the significant events of the period, the changing aspects, and the Manchus and the Qing Imperial Court’s relations with their greater Han Chinese subjects.

  • How to Make a Ballet Bun
    How to Make a Ballet Bun Hair : Girls in all ballet classes must wear their hair in a neat and tidy classical bun or pinned up so hair does not obscure the neckline or get in the students' eyes. The ballet bun keeps hair from flying in a dancer's face; it also creates a clean, elegant line for the dancer. Follow these steps to make the perfect bun: Materials List → Hairspray or hair gel → Elastic band → U-shaped hair pins (thicker type with plastic tips) → Comb & brush (a fine tooth comb is preferable) → Bobby pins → Hair net (fine net, elastic edges, same color as hair.) 1. To start the process, wet your hands and the hair with water. This will give you better control over the hair. Gather the hair and pull it back. Apply hair gel if you need more control over the hair. 2. Use a hair brush to smooth out rough or uneven areas. Form a pony tail by brushing the hair up from the jaw line to the top part of the back of the head. This will form a high bun. The placement of the pony tail determines the placement of the bun. Mid and low buns are sometimes used with short hair. Very short hair can be done in two low side buns, or use hair clips to fasten the hair down without a bun. 3. Use an elastic hair band to secure the pony tail. A tidy pony tail with hair drawn snugly back is the key to making a good ballet bun.

As a result, many black women have been able to grow strong and vibrant hair despite their hair’s fragile characteristics.5 Essential to healthy black hair care is the utilization of protective styles, as these styles safeguard the delicate strands of black hair.6 By using these styles, many black women have overcome the challenges inherent to their natural kinky, curly hair and are growing their 1.
