The women of Japan have often been
misunderstood. BY those who have
known them they have been pro-
nounced the best part of Japan. They
have been described as gentle, graceful,
beautiful and self-sacrifcing. Not only
In those gentler virtues, but also in
some sterner aspects of life, the Jap
anese woman has shown time and again
what she Is made of. Anyone who
speaks against the purity of the Jap
anese woman knows not whereof he
talks, or is a vile slanderer who would
deprive the woman of what is most
precious to her. AS the mistress of the
family, she has as much real authority
In the family as her western sister.
As mother she is paid great Difference
by her children. In society, lady is
always treated with respect. There are
some respects in which changes are
desirable, bat, on the whole, | have no
hesitation in saying that the position of
woman in Japan is a very high one

Women Buyers a Success

Many of the leading dry goods firms
in this country have come to realize the
value of having women buyers on their
staffs. 1t is estimated that there are
now about 900 women engaged in this
business, which is fully so per cent more
than there were six years ago. A promi-
nent woman drummer said:
"A woman buyer who purchases a fine
line of goods, for example, ladies' tailor
made suits or misses jackets, receives
a salary of from $4,000 to $4,000 year. If
she thoroughly understands her bust
ness she turns her stock money over two
or three times within year. She buys
from 100000 to 100000 worth of goods
per annum. Such buyer will have been
in the business certainly ten years or
more and have familiarized herself with
every detail. If a woman is uncommon
ly bright she may learn the business of
a buyer in three years. But she has to
understand her line of custom from A to
q, and know exactly how much she can
afford to pay apiece for such goods in
order to sell them at reasonable profit.
She must know the wholesale price for
the velvet, silk or fur that trims the
garment; also, the price of the cloth it
is made of, the cost of the making and
the profit to allow the manufacturer. /"
From the time that women first en-
tered the stores at all, even as sales
women, their taste and intuition for
style, their ability to select, were no.
ticed. The only thing that holds them
back from the highest positions is the
fear that they could not be relied on to
make judicious investments-Ex.

Cuban Maids

Slender, graceful Cuban maids, with
smoothly plated tresses, black as the
ravens wing, large. lustrous, dreamy
black eyes, clear, pale complexion, re-
sembling the waxen tint of the lily, have
their pretty heads filled with dreams of
love before they quit the schoolroom.
Their peculiar training, restricted
sphere, as we'll as early maturity-for
in the tropics girl blooms into woman
hood in her thirteenth or fourteenth
year-may be the reason why their
thoughts turn to love before they have
discarded their dolls, braids and short
dresses. The strict watch maintained
over the tender buds, the cast-iron rules
of etiquette, which prohibit them from
too great an indulgence in athletic
sports or outdoor life, which North
ern maid enjoys, precluding romantic
ideas and rendering her less susceptible
to the tender passion, which is fostered
by a secluded existence, may be the
reason why Cuban girls look forward to
matrimony as a release from these irk-
some bonds.
The romantic manner in which court
ship is carried on tends to keep alive
their illusions, for lovers susually walk
up and down before their lady's dwell
ing like sentinel on duty, because they
are debarred from calling on maiden
until formally engaged, and then they
can only see her in the presence of the
family or exchange tender nothings I'M
der the argus eyes of her mamma, who
keeps a strict watch over her offspring.

household economies is Mrs. Lynn Boyd,
A graduate of Armour institute, she waA
afterward teacher in the Philadelphia
School of Practical Housekeeping, and
has now returned to Chicago to instruct
the women of her own city.
The underlying idea Of this innovation
for the modern maiden is to teach her
how to systematically superintend the
thousand and one perplezing details of a
well-ordered household with the least
expenditure of time and strength. Thus,
the course of twelve lessons, given once
a week, includes instruction in almost
everything, from the scientific scrubbing
of the kitchen floor to the polishing of
the Partisan marble bric-a-brac in the
parlor. Some of the sub-topics of the
course, which give an idea of the practi-
cability of the study, are: Equipment
for the laundry, washing of various fab
RIGS, the kitchen, care of china and glass,
sweeping and busting, care of the linen
closets, bedding, furs and woollens, daily
care of bedrooms, care of hardwood
floors, house cleaning, and relation Of
mistress to maid. Each lecture Is fully
illustrated with the appliances of the
household.

The Misses Jardine, Mignon and Fee
lice, were big, strong-armed girls, not
too tall nor yet too short. They had
been known in gymnasium work in the
Paris ladies' gymnasium, and had both
given exhibitions before women's de-
velopment clubs.

fund of good nature, they "opened up
Pupils came at first by the singles,
then they came in groups; finally they
had to be turned away because neither
of the young ladies could spare minute
in the day for them.
The system of bicycle instruction as
followed by these successful young
women is this:
No pupil is taught to ride.
Riding consists in the art of balance.
A person who can balance can ride.
No rules are given for balancing. A
pupil is placed in the saddle and the BIZ
cycle is led along. The quicker the in
structor can walk the easier to get the
balance.
While a pupil is learning to balance
special leg rules are given tending to
The herald., 1898-01-02

develop the muscles and fit the pupil
for long-distance riding.
Beginners have a clear field provided
in front of them until they can balance.
The Misses Jardine, in starting up, rea-
soned that so many women hesitate
about riding because they must learn
from man, and natural pride keeps q
woman from wanting to appear ridicu-
lous to masculine eyes.
They also reasoned that a woman
could teach the wheel better than man,
because of her highly sensitive organiza-
ton, which makes her lshudder at the
thought of d fall, evenythough the fall
may not be hers. Iiia
On inquiry they found all their sup
positions correct, and so started out.
American girls, always ready to catch
on to everything in the money-making
line, are studying the Jardine bicycle
school, and.shortly there will appear on
the other side of the water biycle school
for women, taught by Women.
The matter of costume is important.

can learn the trick of;balance quicker In
bloomers, and when@a pupil comes with

double and very full. The upper one was
cut with a long, rounded point at the
back and front. 1t was trimmed round
with three ruches of the gauze with red
berries peering out of the fullness.
The corsage had a square yoke of
puckered white tulle, heavily incrusted
with spangles. From the bottom of the
yoke the green gauze was put on very
full and gathered down into a belt OF
scarlet satin ribbon with long sash ends.
At the bottom of the yoke there was a
garland of the holly leaves and berries.
Over the shoulders there were high bows
of scarlet ribbon, tied with sprigs of
holly.
HOLLY GOWN
There was another "holly gown" in the
number altogether different in every
detail. 1t was made of heavily spangled
white gauze over white glace taffeta.
The skirt was trimmed with innumer-
able tiny ruffies of the gauze that
reached to within six inches of the
waistband. They were draped with tiny
sprigs of holly leaves and berries.
The corsage of the gauze was gathered
full over the taffeta lining. 1t was cut
square-necked and had a short yoke of
puckered white gauze, heavily spangled
and powdered with tiny sprigs of holly.
From this yoke hung pointed berthe

GRIT OF A WESTERN WOMAN
Long Ride of Mrs. West of Seattle
With a Broken Rib and Knee

Few men possess such grit and deter
mination as Mrs. West of Seattle, WASH,
is endowed with. Recently, while riding
her wheel, she met with an accident in
which she sustained a broken rib, a
split kneecap, painful wound in the
face and the loss of four teeth. Thus
sorely disabled she pluckily mounted her
bicycle and rode twenty miles to her
home.
1t all came about from being too am
bilious TO ride down hill. She was an
expert bicyclist and had coasted down
so many hills that she had long since
ceased trying to keep any account of
them. 1t is claimed she would bow only
to the noted Mrs. Rinehart of Denver as
her superior in the conduct of the wheel.
The road near Lake Washington, where
Mrs. West and friend were taking a
little spin had been hit in the middle
with stone of considerable size and
the stone had remained where it had
struck. Mrs. West dismounted when she
reached the crest of the hill, but the
prospect of coasting was too alluring to
be foregone for the safer. but more la
borious, alternative of walking down.
She again bestrode the wheel and start
ed back-pedaling down the grade.
Unfortunately, she failed to observe
the rock in her pathway, with the re-
suit that the front wheel of her bicycle
collided with it and threw the rider over
the handle-bars several feet forward
into the road. She lay unconscious for
some time. Her friend, upon reaching
her, found her injured as above de-
scribed, and was hopeless of getting her
home Or to a place where relief might
be summoned. 1t was desperate stu
atiOn.> Then it was that true western
grit came to the rescue. Rising to her
feet the disabled heroine painfully got
upon her wheel, and, almost fainting and
covered with blood, rode slowly back to
her home, distance of almost twenty
miles. She is progressing favorably, but
it is doubtful whether she will ever be
able to rule again.-EX

The corsage was covered with narrow
bias folds of yellowish green tulle. Over
this was a covering of white tulle cut
into square scallops that showed yoke
of the bias folds. Round the edges of
the scallops were ruches of spangled
white tulle. The shoulder straps were
of green ribbon, tied with high bows and
sprays of mistletoe. There was trailing
spray of the mistletoe tied in with the
belt ribbon at the back that reached
half way down the skirt.
