CHINA'S HAR) TASK. It is a hard tark that faces the Chi- umese parliament which is meeting this week in Peking, the first time that it has come together in five years. Inter- oal conditions fn China are In a se- rious stats and the chief business of the parllament will be to establish a legal and oconmstitutional foundation for the government. President 1LiI has asked that the paritament decide his own stat- us as president, expressing his willing- ness to retire. Reduction in the size of| the army, now sald to number 1,500,000, and the abolishment of the rule of the miMtary tuchuns are other points that he asks parlament to take up. His pro- gressive ideas are further seen in his proposal that a federation of provinces be formed under an efficlent central gov- ernment, with reorganization of the na- tion's finances so that each province shall contribute its proper share to- wards the exvenses of the federal gov- srament. It can be readily seen that this is an ambitious programme for any legisla- tve body. In China the task is doubly fifficult. Jealousies and suspicions be- tween the provinces and the rule of the military tuchuns of the provinces have slways proved powerful barriers to progress. Moreover, the Chinese peo- sle have but an imperfectly developed sonsclousness of national unity. Friends of China will look for no miracle to be accomplished in the delib- erations at Peking, but if Chinese unity is brought appreciably nearer it will be felt that much has been accomplshed. It will be in this hope that friends of China will watch with interest the pro- ceedings of the reassembled parliament. BEVISING THE CEREMONY. When the general triennial convention of the Episcopal church meets in Ports land in September there will come be- fore it the report of a joint commission of bishops, clergymen and laymen which suggests a revised “Form of Solemniza- tion of Matromony” in the Book of Com- mon Praver. At present the officiating clergyman asks the bride: “Wilt thou cbey him and serve him, love, honor and keep him in sickness and in health;! and, forsaking all others, keep thee| only unto him, o long as ye both shall live? The woman shall answer: *“I will” The revision would omit from the question any reference to obedience and servics. Later in the ceremony, if the change is approved, the bridegroom will make the same vow as the bride, leav- ing out the promise to obey. It is point. ed out that the Roman Catholic church never has required women to promise obedlence and service to their husbands it the marriage altar, Another proposed change relates to the form now used where the man says: “With all my worldly goods I thee en- dow. There are instances enough where the man has no worldly goods with which to endow his wife, so that tuch & declaration s meaningless, and 3 further reason for this change is that the law now protects the property in- lerests of the wife. + marriage cndowment declaration, the law bhas at all times taken precedence In the matter of distributing property detween husband and wife.

They clutter up the postoffice department, make needless work for clerks and carri and interfere with the handling of important mail. The harm they do far outweighs the fun any one may get out of reading and writing them. It is hard for the postal auther- ities to stop them unless they include an appeal for money, but it every recip- jent of such a letter will throw it away the chain will be broken and the post- office department will be spared a lot of work.

Irving had, on many cc- casions noted the excellent qualities of Miss Gratz and he suggested her to Scott when the novelist was about to write has “Ivanhoe” with 2 typical He- brew woman as the herolne. Scott is sald to have sent the first edition of the work to Irving with this question: “How do_you like Rebecca? Daes the Rebacea I have pictured compare well with the pattern given?’ There are a great many who doubt this stery, but here are the circumstgne- es. Irving and Scott were close frisads. During one of thelr many conversations, Irving says, he spoke of his own and Miss Hoffman's cherished friend, Tiebec- ca Gratz, describing her wonderful heauty, relating her firm adherence to her religlous faith under the most trying clrcumstances and particularly illus- trated her loveliness of character and zealous philanthropy. Scott was deeply impressed and con- celved the plan of embodying the pure moral sentiment that like a thread of sil- ver ran through the stery. Although “Rob Roy” was then unfinished, he was already revolving in his mind the plot and characters of “Ivanhoe.” He decid- ed to introduce a Hebrew female charac- ter and, on the strength of Irving's vivid description, he named his heroine Rebdec- ca. The seurce of the character was known to Miss Gratz, upon whom Irving had made his first call when he returned to Philadelphia to superintend the pub- lication of hisiwerks. Shrinking, as she did, from any publicity, should seldom acknowledge the fact and when pressed upon the subject would deftly evade it by a change of topic. The resemblance is closely marked in many points. Irving met Scott through a letter of introduction from Themas Campbell. Campbell was aware of the fact that Scott was a great admirer of the genius of the American. They were close friends through life Here is Secott's opinion of Irving as expressed in a let- ter to John Richardson: ‘When you see Tom Campbell tell him with my love that I have to thank him for making me known to Mr. Washing- ton Irving, who 1is one of the pleas- antest acquaintances I have made this many a o Irving's opinion of Scott is given in a letter to Paulding: “I cannot express my delight at his character and man- ners. He is a sterling, good-hearted old The exact truth as to what extent the influence of Irving had upon Scott in patterning his heroine after the Phila- delphia Hebrew woman will never be known, but in spite of these who be- Meve to the contrary, there is little doubt but that Rebecca Gratz is the “Rebecca” of *“Tvanhoe.’ at Richmond, Mo.
