japanese Woman the Autocrat OF Her

The notion that the Japanese Wo-
man is a meek and slavish creature,
little better than servant IN her
household, is altogether a mistaken
che. On the contrary, she Is ad'
dressed as "Okusama," the honorable
lady Of the house. and is treated
with the greatest respect and con-
slderation by her husband and her
family. She is the mentor, the auto
crat, and idol OF the home. In dcmes'
tic affairs she has full control. Her
duties are onerOus. but never repug
nant to her. They consist OF man
aging the household. practicing econ
omy. making her home pleasant, both
in appearance and by her cheerful
ness of disposition, and the education
and instruction of her children, for
even after the children have entered
school they are still under her tute-
lage. A Japanese house is the acme

Go 5arehead to Church.

The custom of going bareheaded
which New York women have extern
sively adopted this summer, has
spread even to the churches. At serv.
ices which are held week evenings a
large contingent of women attend
without hats. 81 hope the custom will
extend to the theaters this winter"
said a West Side man. Then women
will not have to hold their hats in
their laps. l always feel sorry for
women when they take off their hats
in the theater. Their hair is usually
disarranged, ard taking care of a hat
all evening is nuisance. A woman
never looks prettier than with scarf
OF lace or chiffon thrown over her
head. and it is no trouble to take care
OF that. Women wear them in Lon
don and why shouldn't they in New
York?'
