why don't you write a story about
. the ba bies2" There is no subject that
to women more than children;
there could not be more entertaining
reading than an account Of the curious
juvenile customs Of the Japanese"
After all, the babies Of this country
really are its main attraction. The
cherry blossoms appear at times and
the temples may be seen in places but
the youngsters are everywhere on all
occasions. What delights the tourist
more than the hosts of gaily attircd
tots who. no matter where he may
come upon them. seem always TO be
grouped in unconscious grace as If
posing for picture.
The japanese have a queer way Of
reckoning the age of their young. As
soon as a baby is born il is said TO be
q year old. II is regarded as such
until its first anniversary. when il be
comes years old, this deception con-
tinuing throughout its life American
women beginning to mellow with age
would doubtless look with disfavOr
upon this custom of asserting to am
extra year-it even being charged that
some of them. like May Irwin in Mrs.

their lives by diScardinc a few years
now and then. But here in Japan,
where time does not seem TO lay heavy
upon anyone, there is no disadvantage
TO the individual because the deceit IS
universal This odd practice doubt
less had its origin i'm the Oriental habit
of adding one for every fraction When
YOU stop 10 consider the matter Seri-
ously il really is quite am economy in
bookkeeping to credit yourself with
year rather than to bother with trifles
like months and days.
The National Birthday.
Some of the japanese parents reckon
the age Of their male children from
the first national birthday occurring
after their advent This general an
niversary for boys is another custom
distinctly Japanese. Instead of each
bov being permitted 10 celebrate in
his own way on the actual day of his
birth he must needs deny himself the
pleasure OF an individual demonstra-
ton and make common JOY with the
throng on the fifth day Of the fifth
month. Should his first glimpse of
the world chance TO occur on this par
ticlIlar day. he Is just In time to Cele-
l,rate but If he misses this date by Il
few days or weeks or months. he has
TO worry along until the next annual,
when he can ratify to his hearts con-
tent in company with all his fellows.
If this restrictive idea. tending as it
does to the concentration of celebra-
tive inclination, should spread 10 the
