Interesting Experiences Of Two Amer
Jean Women Who Lived
Like the Natives,

Two American ladies who have
lived in japan in real Japanese
style recently related SONG of their.
experiences.
X was no easy matter to live
amongst the natives, for foreign
ers in Japan are restricted to GER
tain areas, and are not allowed TO
become householdeps outside OF
these areas, or concessions" as
they are called. The ADVENTUROUS
ladies accordingly took a hcnse in
the name of their Japanese maid
servant, Even then q difficulty re-
mained, for II wss found that Jap
anese law would only permit a for
eigner te reside outside the for
ciG3 limits for two reasons--il'
health or scientific research. y
obliging japanese doctor. bow
ever, was found who certified TO II
tritling ajimeat and thus satisfied
the law.
After that Il was necessary to
register ut the police headquar
tcrs to which the visitors had to
send a report of their dojngs every
week.
The ladies were not ench thor.
oush converts to Japancse living
as to dispense with their piano.
The SQUADS Of which drew crowds
of native neighbors round the
house every evening.
One night the quaint, simple or
der of things received u rude
shock. The corners of the room
In which the visitors were sleep.
Ing swayed TO and fro. and the
the house seemed about to fall.
1t was the inevitable japanese
earthquake. Fortunately nc
harm was done. Japanese houses
are built with special reference to
earthquakes.
The newcomers acquired great
popularity by tie reason OF the
fact that their maid gave hot
baths to their neishtoFs, thus en-
abiing them to save their char
coal.
