In l many A place 1 noticed 1t even turned to common stone.
 However, it is some contribution to American literature, and 1t Is the first to give any true condition of our home l life and the real nature of our Japanese eentlewomen and gentlemen. It is, how i ever, a most sad story. "Our Japanese woman has much to do yet to control circumstances, you know. Today is terrible fight at nome under all things; the old Japanese aga1nst modern ity. and it will not end soon.
 Long ago. in the early middle ages, women were stars and even sun and moon of our country. They were the greatest poets and the greatest writer's.
 We let cloud come from China thinking it was good to fall upon our country. We listened to blindly to the teachings of Ccrfuscius, which is so good in many respects, but our women faded from their places in the heavens.
 50 you can see it was not natural with us that women became slaves We though, it was right teaching and many a mistake was made.
 'Ichyo Higuchi, the girl who died sev- en years ago, that wonderful writer, has spoken the heart of our Japanese women who lost their high places. We have only some few women who write we'll today. One is the Baroness Nakajima. the wife of the Japanese minister to Italy; anoth CT is Kaho Tanabe, the wife of Setsurai Idiyake, who is the very iodi of our young students.
 "Of course education of modern women is but in its beginning, as, if I may say so, is also in America, and is not at all in certain countries of Europe
 Tt is a terrible thing tnIs learning of wisdom" Mir Naguchi paused. Then with a slight smile he continued. Tt is all I can do to save myselfl I hate wisdom. Yet it is necessary.

 Perhaps not. By what I wonder is meant by Oriental in many cases in Amer ica? Some smoke of cigarette, perhaps, some veil, some poetry like lotus flower, some half closed eye. some maxim of Con fucius painted on the brow. some slow, continuous nodding like Buddha-is that all? That is a good deal to have to live up to!
 We have in Japan a wee worm which name Is lowing worm. We feel just like 1t sometimes being criticised by foreign CTS. We are quite at home with those honorable bows-such Oriental, polite bows

YoNE NOGUCHI ON
 THE JAPANESE WOMEN.

So? And you were thinking we Jap anese were a savage people?'
 Tone Noguchi looked across the ex- quisitely appointed little table at the in- terviewer, a half shadow of amusement in his smile, writes Miscs Ethel Armes in the New York Sun.
 That is pity" he added with quick, bright glance, as he took up a Japanese sweet meat
 It was in the cool simply furnished dining room of the Japanese boarding house on West Sixty-fourth street. where MT. Noguchi has been lodging ever since his return to New York from London last fall. The noon hour was quiet and comfortable here. A solitary rose-"since we have not cherry blossom In New York" --graced the center of the table A little poem slept under a flower at each Of the four places.
 Ito composed them" said MT. 4soguchi, for everyone is poet in Japan, you know Yes, we love poem-why not? We love art and literature. It is in a life of sim plicity among the beauties of nature that we find our happiness. It is our people, nature that makes them strong on the battlefield, contradictory as it may seem.
 We are a peaceful people, and when we stand to arm it is clearly from our desire of peace We wish for mutual re- Epect among the nations.
 Foreigners say we are secretive. Per haps. It is this-nothing so very com plex. We have an energy, simply that and we direct 1t even at sleep tirne to where it shall hit.
 Because 1t moves in dark as well as day, 1t is cafred-how is that word? Sub tie I do not 6eny if we are that.
 ''Is there no English or American that is so? I fancy there are some that can move in dark without stumbling. We have not need always for lanterns, that is all. Simply, we are not like fish on the sand.
 "Yes 1t Is wonder that there Is any true understanding of Japanese whatso- ever; there have been so much of Jap anese book published in America, and in sthe world might say, that give entirely a wrong idea of our people and our coun- try. Such a play as Geisha Girl as Madame Butterfly such a book as Mad anne Chrysanthome' by Lott, even, such a hundred so-called Japanese boo-.s-all false, all foolish.
 Fs" 'Nami-Ko? Our TTototogfsu,' you mean. Oh. yes, that is different" Here
