Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ...and pantalets. Most of the boys wear their hair short, as is now the fashion in China.

Many of the boys wear little round silk caps with red silk buttons on top, but most of the girls are bareheaded. The children at work in the fields have on straw hats as big around as a parasol.
