Japanese Dress Indicates Age.

Japanese Dress Indicates Age.
2 In Japan social law DEGREES that ev-
cry woman, old or young, shall dress
according to her age. As she advances
from the time she is a little mite in a
befowered kimOno until she is elderly,
the colors of her garments become more
sober, more subdued. And, strangely,
the great ambition Of a woman's life
there is to become old. She rejoices
when she can wear plain black and cut
the hair off her head. She does this
when she is approaching three-score
years.
Remarkably pretty are the soft flow
ing dresses these little japanese women
wear; in early life they disport nearly
all the colors of the rainbow. Nothing
Is more charming to the eye than
bevy Of these pretty young girls. No
women in late life, perhaps, appear so
funeral as the japanese women when
they have laid aside the gaudy livery
of their youth.
