BURMA HER NATIVE LAND.

Although the Japanese girl comes In

have visited both Japan and Burma
generally agree that the Burmese
maiden is the more charming and DAM

many points of resemblance, but the
Burmese girl, though less don-like and
of a darker complexion. has much more
pleasing features. and neither In dress
nor In the gracefulness of her move
ments is she one whit behind the much
belauded Japanese damsel. In no coun-
try in the world have women the same
liberty as In Burma. Centuries before
the sisterhood of the occident had
raised the cry Of women's rights the
Burmese woman had come into her

of her womanliness. Burmese women.
