Born in a land where families meas
are their antiquity by the thousand
years, the wife OF Sir Edwin Arnold
was even there regarded as one who
could point to an unusually long line
Of ancestry. when she first arrived
with her husband In England society
was rather inclined to regard her with
dlsfavor but insular prejudice is slow
ly giving way. and Lady Arnold Is
steadily gaining In popularity. Her
family name Is Kurokawa Tama, which
means Jewel OF the dark river" and
she was born ut Sendai. japan, nearly
thirty years ago Her dainty little
iadyahip IL a typical japanese beauty
10 whom her noted husband is de-
yotcdly attached. In the privacy OF her
own household she wears the kimona
and the other graceful articles OF at
tire peculiar to her native land. but on
her public appearances or when enter
tanning guests she appears In conven-
tional costume. Lady Arnold has the
dlstinctlon Of being the only Japanese
woman who bears an English title. Sir
Edwin Arnold. who II a knight COM
mander Of the order Of the Indian Em-
pire. passed the greater part Of his life
In the civil service In India. After
his Official career was completed he
spent some years In visiting the less
known countries Of the east. He tarried
IN japan, which had not then acquired
lite great popularity aa a happy hunting
ground for travellers or It's political
importance Sir Edwin was largely re-
sponsible for famillarlzing the people
OF England and America with The
Land Of the Rising Sun" To him In
great measure we owe japanese furni-
/ turc and japanese vacations. lie wrote
the most sympathetic and enthusiastic
/ descriptions OF japanese beauty that
have ever appeared In Englleh No
woman. he said. surpassed the Jap
| aneso for loyellness. gentlenoss and all
/ truly feminine qualities. His friends
In England generally took these utter
snccs to be merely those OF an enthu'
siastic traveller gifted with an exceed
/ lngly poetic temperament. but when II
was announced that Sir Edwin intended
TO wed Japanese bride II was seer
that no had deeper reasons for his
enthusiasm than had hitherto been sus'
pected. Vigorous protest was made by
nearly all members Of his family. ant
At one time Il was reported that th'
marriage was Off. but the poet STOOD
arm and married his japanese beauty
Several OF the most beautiful shor
poems written by sir Edwin are de
scrlptlye OF the sweet. delicate charm
Of his glrlish bride. for she appears Il
be hut a delicate flower.
