Japan has some marriage customs
that are at variance with our West

The #primary purpose in Japanese
girls smarriage is to get her placed

would for. h naon7Snt be so foolish as ia
think of giving her daughter in mar:
riage to a young man whoF had no
home ready for her reception. He
must have the necessary means to
care for his wife and he must be able
to show a creditabe family tree.
WITHOUT these essentials he might love
the girl to desperation and she might
regard him with equal ardor. but he
would never get her.
