Love Among the japanese

The boys and girls, the young men
and young women of Japan do love
each other l suppose, but one never
sees the slightest shadow of evidence
to prove it. The spirit of love does
not dominate the national life as it
does in America and the countries of
Europe. Japans poets do not sing of
love; her story writer's tell no tales
of love that can thrill an Anglo-Saxon
heart, and her artists paint no pictures
of love that can reach the Anglo
Saxon understanding. Now, consider
ing all this, how can there be such
a thing as "a good old summer time"
in this land of the sunrise? And vet
there is, and it is especially delight
full in its way, too, because the Japa-
nese are nation of feasters and pick
nickers, of nature lovers and world
beautifiers, and If one can only lose
sight of the fact that everywhere
one goes the poor little women toddle
