Japan are as childlike and bland as the
children, and the children are as grown
up as their elders. 1t is a country of per-
ennial youth.
an this country women get old too
quickly. The children are grown up while
they are little. A girl still in short frocks
begins to lave worries and cares, and a
child Of nine is nervous. We teach the
Japanese method, which gets rid Of all Of
this.
"We believe in giving children exactly
what they want to eat, By nature they
like the right things. The trouble with
children and with women is that they never
have just what they want.
1.-THE American woman has a strange
way Of doing what she does not want to
do. The Japanese woman, on the other
hand, never does anything that does not
please her. She draws her life on simple
lines that are sure to succeed. She always
realizes her ambition, always has just
what she wants.
an our training school we teach amia-
bility. Such a thing as a cross Japanese
woman never existed; much less a cross
Japanese child. The Japanese woman
never let's herself get cross.

that she must eat how and when she wants
to eat. Her food is brought to her Upon a
little tray, which seems somehow to follow
her about the house. What she wants to
eat she eats. 1t is harming. She never
has that hungry feeling which bothers most
women.
1.-THE Japanese woman has plenty to
drink. Her wine is a sweet wine, with
---- MN. =. tA o,l not bon ,,,nl
sweetness. She can drink it like water.
1t does not go to her head.
Her best drink is tea. She is always
drawing a cup of it; and such tea.
Children eat the same thin gs as their
elders, il they want them, but they are more
inclined to eat sweets. The most expensive
sugars are bought and given to them, and
they have the finest candies of every descrip-
ton. The children never eat cheap sweets,
and that is one reason why they keep 80
well.
This is the system we follow with chill
dren in our school. We teach them to be
pretty. That comes first of all! We teach
themLto be good natured and to smile; that
comes second. though it ought to be first.
We teach them that it is more desirable
to be happy than to be miserable.
"We let them dance and play with Tolls
and eat sugar stuff, and we tell them that
, we want them to do as they please. IL is
a sort of Japanese kindergarten for the
Improvement of the tempers of children,
and it works out very well, indeed.
The Japanese woman is very proud OF
being well. She considers it a disgrace to
be i'll. She mover tells her ills and she con-
ceals them as much as possible. As a re-
suit she is usually well.
The Japanese woman devotes four hours
a day to her plants. This is a conservative
estimate. The American woman is too busy
sven to tend her house plants.
The Japanese woman changes them
from corner to corner, she digs them, loves
them and makes them grow. She has
always half q hundred bulbs started and

THE Japanese women are always good

teaching. In our schools nothing at all is
said about beauty, 1t is thought silly and

DREDGING FOR HUSBANDS.
Raking the Social Gravel for Matrimonial
Nuggets OF Value. g.

Dredging for a husband is a development
of the times which causes much amuse-
ment to the observant. says Truth. A girl
who occupies n good position in society v
and il intelligent soon discovers that the
number of rich bachelors of her own stand
ing in life is very limited. that most of them
are almost captured already, and that many
OF them will have little to do with her,
She then commences to "dredge" the bed
of the social stream. Buried in the gravel
of this are many rich men, the sons OF stih
obscure hnanciers. manufacturers or mer-
chants, and careful dredging often brings
some of them to the surface. Then the con-
nections are generally cast back into the
water, and only the valuable elder son re-
tanned for use.
bred ging parties" have recently become
the rage. An expert "dredger" spends the
winter in gathering the necessary material
in hotels on the Continent and In other direc-

series of at homes to West End customers"
charging a commission on each completed
transaction,
Thus a customer" captivates a "dredged'
bachelor, and becomes engaged to him. III
his income is 10000 a year. the percentage is
capitalized, and the amount is paid to the
"dredger" on the wedding eve by tn Q parents

The "dredgers" have hitherto mostly been
the divorced wives or widows OF knights or
baronets, but as the business is so remunera-

wood handles. Handles with carved bird
heads and similar ornaments are again
seen. and, of course, there are costly and
beautiful novelties in carved ivory, tor

these handsome handles are almost in

certain effects in cut steel, with large, bril-

most in vogue.
One is to rub the fur with cornmeal,
