NEW CUSTOMS FOR CHINA TAKE PLACEOF OLD Nationalist Committee to Devise Ceremonies and ■m Costumes. *'■ • liu United Press SHANGHAI, Aug. Sl.—The majority of the Chinese residents of this city are viewing with some displeasure the recent order of the Nationalist government which threatens to do away with their beloved dragon, which to them is a symbol of everything gorgeous and ornate. In the future, so the order states, simplicity will be the keynote of all Chinese ceremonials, thus dispensing with the dragons and other elaborate equipment common to Chinese public functions. Simplicity to Prevail At a meeting at Nanking of the committee on ceremonial rites and national costumes, composed of representatives of the various ministeries and bureaus, it was decided that ceremonial rites must be based on principles of economy, simplicity and appropriateness. An atmosphere of joy and happiness must prevail at weddings; that of sorrow at funerals, and that of silent reverence at sacrificial ceremonies. Regarding national costumes, the committee announces that the principles of simplicity, beauty, convenience, hygiene and economy be emphasized. Native material also will be extensively used. Devise New Rites The ceremonial rites to be devised by the committee have reference to wedding, funeral, sacrificial ceremonies and social functions. National costumes will be divided into the following classes: Men civilians, women, military, students, government officials, judicial officers and foreign affairs officials. The committee now is inviting suggestions from public organizations and individuals in order that the most appropriate ceremonial rights and national costumes may be devised.

Dickens, Foe of Humbug, Exposed as Hypocrite ’

New Biography of Author Paints Selfish, Vulgar ff, Man. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—A highly unflattering view of Charles Dickens, the man, has been taken by C. E. Bechhofer Roberts, English journalist, in a novel, “This Side Idolatry,” published today. Roberts claims that Dickens was only on paper a foe of cant hypocrisy and humbug. Asa matter of fact, he continues, “the indomitable

Boz” bullied his wife and his publishers, used his friends and family mercilessly as material for books, lived on flattery and was, in short, a vain, selfish, vulgar man. The customarily accepted theory that Mrs. Dickens was insane is rejected by Roberts who charges that Dickens himself launched this theory after Kate, weakened by constant child-bearing, angered by being urged to economy while her husband lavished gifts on favorites, and disgustedly his circle of worshipping women, headed by her own sister, left him. Dickens lovers over the world may rebel at this interpretation of an

Much of his important but previously unknown material was secured through surviving friends of Dickens and from the descendants of Boz’ godfather.
