October 24, 1917 The lamas all wore long red robes and the boys yellow robes. The faces were often distinctly Chinese with narrow eyes and not the heavy features of the Tibetan. The characters on the Temple were Chinese, not Tibetan. There are 1000 monks here supported by the government, but under the Republic this support is decreasing. I had some difficulty in getting the guide Pei to show me the unbound feet of a bound footed woman. The only ones who will permit their feet to be seen are prostitutes. The ones we saw were simply squeezed very narrow and small with the large toe ending in a sharp point far in advance of the others, but the toes had not been bent down and turned under as I had been lead to believe. I purchased a Chinese custom long silk gray robe, purple silk trousers, black silk shoes and silk cap - all for $12.00 Mexican. Having an ulcerated tooth, I inquired for a dentist, but an American resident said there was no European dentists in Peking, only Chinese which had been educated in America. I took the 8:35pm train for Mukden and the Bumsteads saw me off.
