Forty Eight years ago that gallant
American sailor, Commodore Perry.
sailed his ships into one OF the forbid
den harbors Of Japan. and, greatly
daring. presented letter from the
president OF the United States to the
emperor of the island empire. At that
time he was an unwelcome visitor. The
japanese had for years refused to en-
ter into friendly communication with
the western powers. Two hundred
years before they had expelled the
Portuguese from their islands and had
settled down to live as hermit nation.
Perry woke Japan from its sleep and
a year after his first visit a. treaty of
peace and amity between Japan and
the United States was negotiated. Fol-
lowing in the wake Of Perry the other
civilized nations Of the world sent their
embassies to the court Of the mikado
and within few years Japan had be-
gun to take Its place as the most en-
terprising and ambitious nation Of the
far east. Now word comes from Yoko-

leaders are becoming new womanish
and brutal I haven't made up my mind
about that, but I have just heard a
story about a grand dame of other
days which made me wish there were
more women like her.
An old southern lady told it to me-
She said: 1T was many years ago, when
my son was only sixteen. We had occa-
sion to pass through New York, and
Mrs. Van l.. invited us to spend two or
three days in her mansion. We had
been intimate friends in schooldays,
and she had visited me in my Virginia
home. but 1 had no idea of the style in
which she lived. Anyway, we south
erners, even the richest of US, lived in
simple, rather patriarchal style. So on
the evening of the first day of my visit
1 put on a black gown, high necked
and long sleeved. To my horror, my
son Dick burst into the room and ex-
claimed: oh, mother, you can't go

have come here, with our simple
lothes. I have just been to the draw

ARE WOMEN FAIR
TO ONE ANOTHER?

One of the strongest arguments of
the bachelor cynic Who delights in dis
paraging the fair sex is this: That wo-
men have rarely a good word to say
about one another. No woman, 1T IS
maintained, can ever be brought to
confess that another woman is pretty
or that another woman's children are
pretty and well behaved. Even If a
woman confesses g~rudgingly that an
other woman is passably good looking
the admission, so these cynics say. is
always qualified by some i'll natured
remark which quite nulliies h sweet
ness of the compliment.
'tOh. yes; she is quite pretty-in the
evening" or she would be really
charming-if she only had the faintest
notion of dressing herself properly"
Such, says the misogynist, are the left
handed compliments that women pay
to one another.
But ever supposing-though we do
not admit the fact for a m~oment-that
women are very cruel in the criticisms
of one another, are men one whit bet
ter in this respect? Who ever met the
man who would admit that another
man was handsome? "~So-and-so." they
will confess. lis a nice looking enough
fellow in his way, but sc effeminate-

Such are the i'll natured mans
friendly comments on the successful or
popular man.
The act is there are mean people of
both sexes. Fortunately the majority
of women and men are charitable to one
another's faults and generous to each
others virtues.

THE GIRL FoR EVERYBODY.

There is a type of girl that everybody
likes. Nobody can tell exactly why.
but after you have met her you turn
away to some other woman. and you
say, Don't you like Miss So-and-so?'
Now, the reason you like her is a subtle
one. Without knowing all about her,
you feel just the sort of girl she is.
She is the girl who is sweet and wom-
AMY to look at and listen to and who
doesn't strike you as a poor imitation
of a vulgar boy.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always ave the

HER 11JEWEL OF A COOK"

TIME Tentavy family had a new
I cook, Arethusia Ann. She
! seemed not to have a fault. It
! is true Mr.. Tentavy noticed
I tina the housekeeping bills were lar
! ger than under the previous kitchen
] administration; but, being a consider
| ate husband, he did o rebel so long
! as his wife was not worried in her
J mind, which was thus left free for
!, her to bestow on her clubs.
1t was odd what a fine appetite
!, Arethusia Ann had. If a large roast
!. was got with the conomi intention
of brown hashing it over with poach-
ed eggs for breakfast, there never was
any left. If the Jewel of a cook made
a heaping chocolate layer cake to go
with ice cream for Sunday dinner and
half was left even after the twins.
Blessing and Darling, had their will
of it and Mrs. Tentavy said to Mr..
Tentavy that she would give some of
it to the minister next day when he
called. somehow there never was any
remaining for the minister. Mrs.
Tentavy certainly thought the COCK
would be i'll after eating half a roast
of beef and half a chocolate layer
cake, but cook never was i'll.
One evening Mr.. Tentavy went
home to find no dinner, no cook, mo
nothing, except his wife lying upon
a couch face downward. crying with
all her might. almost in Mysteries.
