In the winter it was not warm enough, but in summer it was too warm because it was so tight.

Then I had trouble with the shoes.

They gave me the most distressing corns.

When, on returning to China, I resumed my own national costume my corns disappeared, and I had no more colds.

I do not contend that the Chinese dress is perfect, but I have no hesitation in affirming that it is more comfortable and, according to my views, very much prettier than the American fashions.
