'The flowers hsve no smell, the fruit no
taste, the women no virtue and the men no
honor," which ia not quite right. The
flowers are very beautiful, but have no
smell that la. those I sawand they were
s good many. The fruit, some of It has
very little taste. The women are very
much to be admired for their lovely dispo
sition and general appearance: they are like
dolls In some respects. I don't like the
men st all. They sre not square; at least
they appear so to me from what I know of
them, and they don't respect their women
like Americana As for the women's virtue,
I will say nothing; It's very hard to psas
an opinion oa anything Itke that, you
know. After all. there Is nothing like good
old American people. At the garden party
we had a regular banquet served to ua.

The Chinese accorded us a very nice re

a few purchases. If I can judge the cli

ferred Shroeder to- the Louisiana jud got
Potter the next morning and proceeded to
the target range abut fifteen miles, I
should Judge, from . Csvlte. Started with
the six-Inch on the la'.h. then ensued three
miserable days of drixslv, rainy weather,
during which we (No. 11. six-Inch) were
standing by to fire, as we were next. It
would clesr up and e would cast loose
and provide ammunition and then It would
get diisxly and foggy. Two years sgo I
could have written a book on it (ha ha');
that is, I would have thought it deserved
as much.
En route to Colombo, December I It was
rumored about that tboae wishing fur

to be true. Wouldn't thst be greet, though?
Ws are having maneuvera every day. as
before. At this moment the flagship Is
headed in a directly opposite direction to
our own and off our port beam.. It makes
the flat feet aay, "Look at all the coal
they're wasting." We will never get to
Hampton' Roads this way. for we are
homeward bound, you know. You should
have seen- what a tickled bunch It was
aa the hook came up and the band placed
"Home. Sweet Home." It Is a feeling
which I think a man doesn't experience
more than a doxen times In a lifetime; I j
guess not that often. "Homeward bound!" 1
Just close your eyes and ssy It a few timer
and see If it has sny effect. Everyone is
figuring what they'll do. how they'll do ll
and wy they'll do It when they get back
to the States.
