THE EMpREss OF JAPAN.
Judged by Japanese She Is d
PatricIan Beauty.

Judged by japanese Standards She Is IA
Patrician Beauty.
considerably taller than the aver
age woman of Japan, her majesty (the
empress of JAPAN presents to the gaze
all those attributes which her people
hold to be most expressive of patrician
beauty" writes Mrs. Robert p. Porter
in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Of
slight figure, straight in outline. she has
the delicate waist, sloping shoulders,
slender neck and long, pale face to be
seen only among the nobility of japan.
Her features, especially the nose, are
more decided than one is accustomed
10 find. She has the long eyes and
brows and the jet black hair, growing
in that arch upon the forehead, which,
suggestive of the beloved Mount Fugi-
yama, is considered a browning beauty
in Dai-Nippon. The empress has also
the exquisite hands of the Japanese
g~entlewoman, and her tiny feet lose
nothing in beauty by being incased in
sharply-pointed European shoes. Her
majesty wore,'' continues Mrs. Porter
in describing the cherry-blossom gar
den party, "a rich, very soft brocade of
native manufacture and the purest
silk. TWAS of a delicate golden-brown,
with figures In the same color, repre-
senting roses and chrysanthemums,
and made in the prevailing European
style, with large sleeves and full skirt.
Her bonnet was a little French affair
in delicate ~colors, and she carried in her
hand a large parasol which harmonized
with her gown"
