believers In Modern Ideas.
At last the women OF Japan are be-
ginning to get their inning. The ON
peror himself Is interested in their adj
vancement. lie hopes in time that they
will attain the same position enjoyed
ny the women of Europe and America
The first step he took toward this adj
vancement was to abolish stained teeth
and shaved eyebrows. Next on the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his mar
rage he introduced the idea of the cell
cbration of silver wedding into his
country. On this occasion he gave
big feast and received countless pres
ents. E:s female subjects were delight
ed at this, and said that no empress had
ever been so honored. says the New
York Sun.
The empress of Japan, Fusaka, Is
by no means kept in the background by
her husband. She shares his throne,
and Is consulted on matters of national
Importance. More than this, she pre-
sides at his table, and this is an honor
accorded to none of her predecessors.
The empress. from all accounts, is quite
an up-to-date woman, and has proven
herself worthy OF all her privileges. She
is an active patroness OF the Toxic
women's hospital. which is conducted
on the most modern scientific princl-
Piles. She is also quite an athlete. and
has model gymnasium, erected solely
for her benefit, in the palace. She prac-
tees there every day, and is also fond
of riding. Who knows but in time
she may take to the bicycle? The en-
peror has dedicated to her many OF his
most beautiful poems, which show that
the bravest deeds have been inspired
by feminine beauty.s She is even moro
interested in the advancement OF her
sex than he is.
