Mrs. NATHAN, ' Village Life in China'
THE average newspaper-reader has lately got a confused impression of the Chinese as a nation composed entirely of war-lords, bandits, pirates, and soldiers carrying umbrellas. This afternoon Mrs. Nathan will describe life as it is normally lived in a village in Northern China ; no bandits or war-lords about, but a simple, friendly people, living in low, brown huts with ' Devil-Screens ' before the doors, windows-of tattered paper, and charcoal fires burning under the family beds.
