On the whole. the japanese eonsId.
sr that a woman should not exceed
feet in height; should have a com
paratIvely fair skin and be well de-
veloped: should have long. thin and
Jet black hair. an oval face. with a
narrow straight nose. rather large
eyes. nearly black. think eyelashes: a
small mouth. hiding behind red full
lips. even rows Of small teeth: ears
not altogether small. from which the
hair should grow in the circular Of
Fuiiyama shape. that shape recalling
the truncated cone OF the famous vol.
cano. Add TO these the modesty,
sweet humility and genle submission
which the Japs deem essential in their
wonankInd. and which long centuries
of practice have iustiIled into them
pretty thorouzhly-and the result
might well be a very interesting and
adorable little creature.

MUST REMAIN A MONARCHY.
Norway Omcials believe Nothing
Would he Gained by the Estab-
Ilshment OF q Republic.

Christiania, Oct. 30.-The storthing
sat until q late hour Saturday night
discussing a constitution. M. Honow.
the radical leader on behalf of the re-
publicans declared that the government
proposal for blebiscite would dimin-
lsh the respect held for the storthings
governmental responsibility. Foreign
Minister Loveland said a republican
constitution would be intrinsically as
valuable as a monarchial constitution,
but he pointed out that Norway being
q we'll established constitutional mon
archy' generations of labor would be
necessary to work out republican in
situations.
A constitution as q monarchy, he
added, would be the logical result Of
the policy Of June z, when the storth-
Ing dissolved the union between Swe-
den and Norway and that otherwise
Norway's international position would
be hazardous.
Minister of Commerce Arctander
said the government would resign II
this policy was defeated.
Among those selected for ministerial
posts abroad is H. C. Hauge, former
secretary Of legation for Norway and
Sweden at Washington. The foreign
Office is pushing its work Of organic
ing a consular service.
