TLORIBA THE heart of Peking, close to the gates of the imperial palace the legation quarter stretcher along the huge wall of the inner or Tartar city and covers an area a mile long by a half a mile wide. Be fore the Boxer uprising of 1900 there was no legation quarter distinct and -separate from the rest of the city. The legations were then scattered in and about Chinese shops and houses in that part of the city now definitely set apart for the resideaces of for eign envoys, After the eiege of the legations by the boxers the foreign powers decided that it was necessary to fortify the legations and to maintain permanent guards for their protection. The Chinese buildings in the area set apart for the legations were demolished and the grounds of the respective legations 'were enlarged. A high fortified wall was built on three sides of the lega: tion quarter, while on the fourth the wall of the Tartar city was occupied by soldiers of the American and Ger- man legation guards. Defended by Moat and Glacls. In order to render the corner more defensible a deep moat was dug out- side the fortified wall and outside of this a large space was cleared of houses. This open space, which sur- rounds the quarter on three sides, is called the glacis and is used as a drill ground by the troops of the various legation guards. Viewed from the wall of the Tartar city the legation quarter with its palatial bulldings, all erected in western style, presents a striking contrast to the rest ot Peking, with its curved roofs, pylos and pago- das. Eleven of the fourteen nations rep- resented in Peking have their lega- tions located inside of the legation quarter. Each legation has.a spacious compound in which there is a group of large, modern bulldings. Besides the residences of the minister, each legation has houses for ‘the legation secretaries, Interpreters and clerks. Auttached to each legation, excepting the Spanish, there the barracks for the soldiers of the legation guard and bouses for their officers. Besides the legation the quarter also contains the offices of the Chinese customs serv- fce, which is managed by foreigners, seven foreign banks, representing the financial interests of European and American capitalists doing business in China, several commercial establish- ments, and a large European hotel. There are few communities in the world more cosmopolitan than the legation quarter of Peking. In the course of an bour one may hear most of the languages of Kurope and Asia spoken. There is, however, no con- fusion of tongues, as everybody speaks English, which is the “Lengua Franca” of the far east. One is Impressed by the international character of the place more by the uniforms of the military than by anything else. Sim- ply by walking down Legation street and observing the sentries at the vari- ous legation gates one may see the uniforms of the world's greatest arm- fes. By taking a promenade around the glacis one may observe the military tactics of many unations. Near the front gate of the imperial palace one sees & company of Uncle Sam’'s sol diers of the marine corps drilling; across the street on the Russian slacis there are cossacks performing wonderful feats of borsemanship; further up toward the pink wall of the imperial cit some of King George's royal fusiliers are engaged in sig- pal practice. to the north of the lega- tion wall the Japanese, Italians and Austriaps are drilling furiously; on the east glacis the celebrated French Infanterie Colleoniale are performing evolutions, while to the south, near the Tartar wall, the Germans are maneuvering huge fleld guns. Social Forms English. Ia Peking, as in the far east gen- erally, the social customs are dictated by the English. This accounts for the formality which characterizes most of the soclal functions In the legations. The custom of dressing for dinner is very generally observed. During the social season there are balls and din- ners in the legations almost every night. At these functions great care is exercised to seat people according to thelr rank and dignity.

The ministers and secretaries do not wear their diplomatic uniforms at legation functions, but there is usually a great display of royal decorations. The mili- tary orchestra, half hidden behind palms and ferns, besides rendering the neceasary music, also furnishes its quota of color, especially it it is com- posed of British redcoats. Under the Manchu regime the color scheme of the legation functions was further en- hanced by the embroidered silk gowns of the Manchu princes and the Chi- pese mandarins. For recreation, however, one does not have to depend on the formal func- tions of society. Almost everybody keepa horses and there are frequent excursions {nto the country to temples and places of historic interest. On such excursions formality is banished and hilarity reigns supreme. Then there is the Peking club, where all the men gather from seven to eight in the evening. In the winter there is a skating rink at the club, which s, of course, open to the womea.
