slowly opened 10 women in Japan,
whose economic condition is said TO be
exceedingly wretched. Not only were
the professions not open to them, but
not even factories or respectable stores
would employ them, and the govern
ment set its face against them by re-
fusing to engage them for clerical
work or IN connection with its tele-
phone. telegraph or railroad service.
The lives of working women I'm Japan
have been slavellke. A change. how
ever. Is taking place IN public senti-
ment. as Is indicated by the decision
OF a wealthy firm Of weavers TO take
girls into its employ, and the an
nouncement OF the railroad company
that hereafter It viii employ women as
conductors. possibly also as engineers

not go TO the theatre until she Is old
and ugly. II is not thought proper foi
