\ Meat Diet for the j Japanese.

The mikado's government has come

Shall n Woman Tell He: .ipeY

One burden falls 10 the lot of the
single woman which is more keeniv
felt in society than elsewhere. This
ial and foolish as it may seem. few
are aware OF its extent and reality,
and even the most sensible and sue,
cessful women are sometimes its vie
tins. Public sentiment, especially
in cities and unproyincial towns. has
outyrown to Il considerable extent
the ungallant habit OF considering n
woman responsible for her age. But
there still exist plenty Of men and
women who have a ready word OF
scorn or reproach for the unmarried
single woman whose youth has
passed.
On account of this sentiment many
women are sensitive. and not with
out reason. to inquiries about age.
They refrain from illusions which
mloht lead to the discovery of Sc
cret only because the curious ana
rude make such age a matter OF ridi
Guile. The only remedy for this dis
comfort is in the cultivation OF a dit
ferent public sentiment. Helen NJ
