PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN.
They Not Only DO the Homework.
but PIow the Fields.

fBOw
The sewing in the kimono consists of
one small and one long stitch, species
Of artistic basting. There Is reason in
this, for whenever the kimonO is wash
ed it is ripped to pieces. This Is per
haps why the Japanese, who battle
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap, scrubbed with u brush and
are Ironed by drying them carefully on
boards. One of the sights of a town
are these boards, with their strips Of
silk leaning. against the sides of the
houses.
The peasant women not only do the
housework but ont of door work as
well, Like the coolies, they wear trou-
sers and stand knee deep in the slush
of the rice paddles, guide the water
buffaloes at the pillow or bind up the
straw to dry on the trees This Is the
japanese idea of n haystack and makes
the trees look as If they We're wearing
skirts.
One Of the novel sights Is the old
women mowers, clipping the lawns
with scissors as neatly as a lawn
mower and stopping now ana then
to gossip over their tea, Both in China
and Japan the tending Of sllkworms
Is not only done by women, but is re
garded as an elegant duty. In China
each year the empress inaugurates it
ceremoniaily, as the emperor does the
spring blowing In each country the
other Important industry the tea
growing is largely in the hands of wo-
men
