How TIE JAPANESE WOMEN HA1'uE
A correspondent of the New York
Wortd, who has been visiting Yokoha-
ma. describes II visit to one OF the la
tive bath houses there:
Here, open to the street, as usual, we
found the place to be Il large square room
,trttl l,
from the ground, and high partition
running through the centre. Oh ole
side of the room, in the costume OF
Mother Eve before she studied poulol"-
cy, were collected from fifty to seventy
five women and girls, aud Oh the other
side, perhaps thirty men aud boys, clad
in IL curtailed pattern of the famous
Georgia Maj jor's ai.y suit, but that
even the shirt collar and spurs were
wanting. The old joke about Il wet
nurse in n bath house was here rarttis
ally realized.
Some dozen native dryal', whom
took to be the owners of the lavato-
~ temple, were securing the dalk hair
