MIXED MARRIAGES IN JAPAN
When Wife is a Native Happiness May
 Follow, Seldom When She is White.
From the Cornhin Magazine.

From the Cornhil Magazine.
 Much has been said about mixed mar riages in Japan. On rare occasions they are a success, but this is not generally the case, especially if the wife be the foreigner.
 I was much interested in European officer. They were happy couple, and all might have been we'll. But in Japan a wife is still entirely in subjection to her mother-in-law, who makes the most of this authority, in some cases reducing her sons wife dDto sort of upper servant In uhe present instance, as long as lner hus- band remained at home, his wife was able to do pretty much as she pleased. When, however, the war broke out and he joined his regiment in China, the mother-in-law entirely reSained the upper hand.
 The unfortunate daughter had to abandon her European customs, to adopt Japanese dress for herself and her child. ito sit on the floor and live principally on Japanese food. Nor was this all. During her hus- bands absence the elder lady absolutely forbade her victim to accept any invitations or to receive any visitors except her Japan csc relations and a few of their friends.
 I managed, however, to gain admittance one day and found my friend ble, shivering over a wretched charcoal hi batchi," and without a single book or paper to her husbands safety. So great was the old lady's power and influence that the western woman did not dare to disobey, but

not suffer yourselves to be reconsiled to idleness by those misleading phrases which seek to place upon the shoulders of others burdens which the memorable law of life has placed upon your own. Do not de- pend on a friend, relative, or a neigihbor for what is called a start-an opening an opportunity. No man can give you start, no man can give you an opening, no man can give you oportunity except your self.
 Waste no time then in vainly seeking the aid of others. You may not hope to be the very best in the pursuits which you choose, but you can be among the best. Prepare yourselves, equip yourselves, qual- ify yourselves, and then all men will com- bine to establish a market for your ser vices-to provide thea ters for your abili- ties. Above all, let no one excuse to him. self neglect of the task at his hand by the delusion that he would be industrious if he found more congenia1 occupation. A man often tries to explain his own inef- fciency by persuading himself that he Is fitted for some higher field of labor. "Here l am," he says. 'doomed to obscure toll when I am fitted by natural ability and educational equipment to direct the labor of others-condemned to pass my days ad- ding up columns of figures while am capable of directing the largest financial dnstttution in the country" The way to, reach a higher field of labor ds not to ne- glect but to cultivate assduously that in which you find yourself.
 But some one will say, If the possessors of wealth are among the least happy of the human race and if effective labor be cer- tain to produce whealth if seek happi- ness in active absorbing occupation will not be following vicious circle, where the very success of the pursuit will defeat its object? I do not define wealth as an dI- superable bar but formidable obstacle to happiness Like all other obstacles 1t facilitates when surmounted, the approach which originally it had obstructed. To hold that effective labor is happiness would capital is essential ito the efficiency of la bor. A man can labor without capital, but not effectively. With his bare hands he might in a day turn over few inches of earth, but with blow he can cultivate several acres in the same time. The ,cap- italist is captain of industry the laborer is soldier in its ranks. The post of com mand imposes greater difficulties in front of him. whatever the result of his efforts he is certain of the sympathy and affection of his fellows. The commander, as we have recently, must overcome not merely the obs tacles before him but he must often re- flute and confront cloud of critics be- hind him.
 Those whose lives are utterly miserable are those who devote their wealth to so- called lives of pleasure The possession of fortune does not necessarily lead~to idle ness; properly used it may afford its pos sessor wider field of industry. Whoever utihzes capital ip industrial pursuits IS necessarily servant of the communaty
