THE JAPANESE WOMAN.
THE JAPANESE WOMAN.
she Is Not n Slave, But the AutOcrat and |
Idol of the Home.


"No race can rise higher than its
mothers" japanese women are essen
TALLY a race of mothers, and the care
and rearing of their children occupies
so much Of their time and thought that
they are unable to have that extensive
social life their Western sisters enjoy.
even were it not for the etiquette
which makes It actually fashionable
Co. them to find their pleasure In their
homes.
Many have imputed to japanese
women in consequence lack OF
knowledge and undue meekness, re-
gardlng them as little more than serv-
ants of their families and husbands.
Such criticism is purely superficial and
far from being accurate; indeed, it is
very inaccurate.
The position Of japanese woman
Is a high one She is addressed bs
"Okusama," the honorable lady of the
house, and she is treated with the
greatest consideration and respect BY
her husband and her family Far
from being a meek, slavish creature
of the household. she is more the meh-
tor, the autocrat and idol of the home.
In domestic affairs she has full con
troll. Her duties are Onerous, but
never repugnant to her. They consist
Of managing the household, practicing
economy, making her home pleasatt
both in appearance and by her chez
fulness Of disposition, and the educb-
tion and instruction of her childreb,
for even after the children have et-
tered school they are still under her
tutelage.
As her home Is therefore her world,
It is only natural that it has become
the inherent instinct Of the japanese
women to lavish the greatest love anil
tenderness upon their homes, and TO
expend much time and thought in et-
deavoring to make them as attractive
and as pleasant as possible.
Her house is the acme Of purity, To
a Western eve the aspect of the intt-
rior of a Japanese house may at first
seem bare and barren. In truth, til,
japanese abhor decoration Of any kind
and consider IT not only inartistic, but
extremely vulgar. was once shown
a so-caled japanese room in the
house of a Chicago millionaire, and I
am quite sure that the average Japan
ese housewife would have thought
herself in the room of some insane pet
son. or else in some curiosity shop
Such a profusion of articles scattered
broadcast about the room! Such a
frightful display Of mixed-up orna.
ments hanging to the wall! Onoto

Natures ColorIngs CopIed.

We borrow our ideas from all sources
as far as dress is concerned. but the
last notion is to try and adapt to wom-
ans clothes the hue Of the butterflies
wings. II is quite true we cannot i'm
prove on Dame Nature, but it is diff
cult to interpret her, and when you
compare the colors we produce with
those you see i'm nature the process is
very certainly disheartening. A blu
ish black which figures in some Of the
butterflies wings we may utilize, but
we can hardly hope to vie with nature
In some of the hues which combine
seventy tints in one--viz,. brown shot
with gold and blue, with reds and pea
cocks blues. The fawn color in the
butterhy's wing and the lichen green's
we have never touched even. When
you come to examine the beautiful but
terflies in the tropics, which appear to
change in every light, you test the i'm
possibility of II. There is a green and
gold butterfly in Jamaica intermixed
with plum color which would make a
fortune to anybody who could repro
duce II, or the olive green and deep
yellow Of Chinese moth. There is no
lace so lovely as some of the butterfly
patterns. and a light salmon cOlored
butterfly in West Africa would indeed
give a delightful scheme of color to

Crow'a Feet,

In old-fashioned books of quarter
century ago you used to hear a great
deal about 'crow's feet appearing Oh
the face as sign Of advancing age,
For some reason or other they are not
seen often nowadays, and wrinkled
men and women are comparatively
rare, at least in this section Of the
country. The only crows feet you
see are the pretty specimens of black
silk embroidery which are executed at
the corners of outside patch pockets
on a tailored waist or at the overlap.

SERENITY.

About che hour of vesper-song
Each day | see her stroll along;
She robin from a blooming prong
A greeting flutes her:
Serenlty-this old-time name,
Relic of some departed dame,
Is that whereto the maid lays claim;
How well 1t suits her!
Meath level brows her eyes gaze out,
No harborage for fear or doubt;
Her smile demure would put to rout
Each evil passion:
The red and white play hide-and-seek
Across the rondure of her cheek;
How restful tits to hear her speak
In her soft fashion!
] know she loves all quiet things
The. South winds mellow whisperings,
Ewes peaceful afterglow, and springs
flushed noontide rapture;
And when she sits alone, apart.
Heading some lyric of the heart,
Her seraph look a man of art
Would Joy to capture.
Shc dances with the rhythmic sway
Oi fragrant apple-boughs in May;
Sne makes bon-mots in such a way
That laughter bubbles
Spontaneous from the listeners lips;
She's dainty to her finger-tips;
Her presence throws into eclipse
The darkest troubles.
Alas, for human happiness!
But in these days OF moil and stress
The maids like you, / must confess,
Are far and few, dear.
All, were | not the bliss denied.
I'm very sure that | could glide
Adown life's long toboggan-slide
Serene with you, DEAR

INTERESTING FACTS,
For Nearly Every Man, Woman or
Child.

A short time ago we published an ar
ticle recommending TO our readers the
new discovery for the cure OF Dyspep-
STA, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and the claims then made regarding the
wonderful curative properties OF the
remedy have been abundantly sustain
ed by the facts. People who were cau-
tious about trying new remedies ad-
vertised In the newspapers and were
finally induced 20 give Stuarts Dyspep-
sla tablets a trial were surprised and
delighted at the results. In many cases
single package costing but 80 cents at
any drug store made complete cure
and In every instance the most benea-
cial results We're reported From 4
hundred or more received we have
space to publish only few of the lat
est but assure our readers we receive
so many commendatory letters that we
shall publish each week fresh list OF
genuine. unsolicited testimonials and
never publish the same one twice.
From James Yemmeiser, LaCross,
Wis; Stuarts Dyspepsia Tables are
doing me more good than anything |
ever tried and was so pleased at re-
suits that | gave away several boxes
to my friends who have also had the
same benefits.
From Jacob Anthony, Portmurry,

pepsla Tablets with the best results.

From Mrs. NJ, K. West, Preston
Mimi: / have received surprisingly
good effects from using Stuarts Dys-

ing that. as In years past. they will get
their seats all right
Besides these there are n great mass
Of other supporters undergraduates
and their friends and outsiders and
their friends. The outsider has 10 walt
until the first two classes are provided,
and then scramble for what is left. II
seems a wonder that the outsiders can
get any seats at all, Yet they do, year
after year, by paying fabulous prices
for them and by working all sorts OF
schemes.
The demand for seats at a great
game is never 30 high as the night be-
fore the contest.
Five days before this last Haryarc-
Yale game seats sold for $40 apiece,
one man who had six of them together
refused $50 for the lot
Thousands want to witness the con-
test The seating capacity Is limited.
The undergraduate, the graduate and
their friends have secured their tick
cts and those who have been waiting
for the outside sale-~if there Is any
find themselves all pushing and scram-
blind and bidding against each other
for the few hundred seats that may be
left The excitement is intense. No
one knows how many seats are TO be
had nnd every one Is bound TO get In
at any expense. Spectators cry their
wares on every hand Counterfeit
tickets are waved about No one
knows whether he is getting bargain
or getting stuck" Up to within two
hours before the game the price Is
steadily on the rise. Then comes the
crash. Spectators who have held out
for higher prices suddenly begin TO
crawl, The price falls. and If pur-
chaser holds out long enough he can
get a seat at the last for at least its
face value, and often for less.

FOOTBALL EARNINGS.
Large Sums Handled by Eastern
Managers This Season.

New York, Nov. S0.--Now that the
struggles Of brain and Drawn on the
gridiron are practically over for the
season, resume of the actual work
required to carry an eleven success
fully through the season from a linan-
cial point of view IS timely, Now the
Counting up" process begins. 1t rs in
tricate and involves taking in the ac-
counting for many thousands OF dol
lars.
To the casual observer, the red
tape gone through with to secure
tickets to any of the great games seems
entirely useless. Football teaches
many practical lessons, but the man
who handles the money to run the
team Is taught the greatest thing after
all
In past years Harvard has never had
more than one man as the business
head OF her athletics. Last year the
graduate manager of athletics was G.
II, schweppei this year 1t is Hugh
Blythe, assisted by Roger Ernest The
reason for the new office OF assistant
manager is that the business has
grown to such proportions that one
man is incapable Of handling 1t alone.
Through these two mems hands thou
sands Of dollars pass each week. Few
Of the large football games played on
Soldiers field this year have attracted
less than 10000 people, and IN the case
Of Pennsylvania aid the Indians TIE
attendance was more than 1900. The
exact seating capacity Of the regular
grand stand on Soldiers field has been
a matter of dispute for some time, but
even at 1900 the receipts at 81 the
ticket swell to a respectable sum.
The handling Of this money however.
Is a perfect snap as compared to the
assignment Of the seats themselves
The desire OF 1000 people In the small
games and of upward Of 1900 In the
larger contests to get "a good seat on
the 55-yard line, half way up the
stands" is the great problem which the
management has to face. Every one
Is clamorlng for good seat. and there
are only few good seats to offer.
The method of assigning seats in a
great football game is something too
Intricate 10 be thoroughly understood.
Football enthusasts know that IL they
are to get good seats they must have
their applications in early. They never
ask the reasons for the things they are
told to do. They simply submit trust
