Appeal to the stranger
Nothing In Japan appeals more
charmingly 20 the stranEer--man OF
woman-than the sweet and graceful
maldena In their beautiful and pie
turesque costumes Of bright colored
silks. We laugh at japanese women
dressing In foreign clothes. Certainly
they arc not AZ graceful as In their own
costumes. for they do not know how to
wear the occidental dresses. The wear
ing OF unfamiliar garments cannot BE-
learned in \ dGy. Let the American
girls try on the japanese dresses with
out the help OF competent eoatuner
and see what they will look like to
japanese eyes. Il ls generally be-
lleved In Europe and America that the
morala over there are very low. Il IL
undoubtedly due to the ridiculous and
most unreliable stories which globe
trotters delight In telling their friends.
There IL not In the world a more moral
people than the Japanese These globe
trotters know absolutely nothing Of the
Japanese women Of the middle or upper
classes. and during the few weeks they
spend In japan they only meet the
geisha girls. whose business II Is TO
sing and dance and sell their smiles.
Japanese women do not care much for
love--passionate loye-as II exists In
our country. In fact. II seems unknown
10 them. Strange 40 II may appear, a
kiss is an unknown thing 10 the
Japanese In general. A lover never
kisses his sweetheari--a mother never
kisses her child. You can kiss any
