Chose Japanese Instead of a
Man of Her Own Race.

that would be my lot, and yet l can
but repeat l love him. 1 realized
fully the change that would come
into my life. I realized that my
home life would be destroyed. I re-
allied that my family ties would be
severed-but I realized to an even
greater extent that my love for him
outweighed all these.
Selfish? Narrow? Cold blood
ed? Just as you please. These are
terms have applied to myself In
the night I scourged myself for my
love. All the epithets, the abuse,
the blame which has been my share
1 knew before the public clamor
broke. A daughter can not forsake
her parents without a pang, a child
loses a fathers love without a heart
break. Love came to me in sorrow
and blossomed with my tears. Again
and again the question came to me,
ucEduuiuS WutlucI L SuOulu SdCIl-
fee my fathers happiness in order
to obtain my own; whether I should
pull down the home nest in my de-
sire to crafty my longings. To the
public generally there could be but
one answer to this, and that to be
found in the simple, straightforward
duty of child to parent.
''By all the dictates of duty and
honor I should have turned aside
from my love, my one aim being to
obtain the happiness of my parents.
But--and by these butts are human
affairs ordered-the public does not
know, and I hope never will know,
the inner history of our family life.
Those are the skeletons locked away
in the cupboard. 1t is not neces-
sary for me to say what they are.
Every family has its skeletons, some
large, some small, some petty, some
horrible, but all having a direct in
fiuence on the lives and future of
the children.

Not hesitating for a moment to
meet the criticisms, public and pri-
vate, that have been heaped upon her
for her determination In wedding
Gunjiro Aoki against the wishes of
her father and of her brother, sister
and social friends, Mrs. Helen Emery
Aoki says that love for the former
house servant alone guided her in
her course. This is her own state
ment of her position and Of the
events leading up to her marriage:
"The great public clamor which
has followed the announcement of
my marriage to Gunjiro Aoki, a ma
tive of Japan, has forced me to come
forward with a statement, not so
much for the purpose of defending
my action as to correct erroneous
impressions which have been scat
tered broadcast since our engagement
became known At the outset wish
it to be understood that I love Gun
jiro Aoki, have loved him for some
time, and sincerely hope to maintain
my love for him despite all that may
be said or done, despite the slurs of
the small minded and petty indi-
viduals, whether in Corte MADEIRA or
elsewhere.
'The only answer that l can make
to the countless questions which have
poured in on me is that l love him.
That to me is sufficient. I demand
no further argument, nor seek none
Whether l am right or wrong in so
loving I do not know and, in my pres
ent state of mind, do not care. l

Not Ignorant of Step.
"The questions which have been
hurled at me in public print and by
my neighbors and friends for the
last few weeks, long ago asked and
answered myself. II was not as ii

follow. 1 recognized the ostracism

women are not guided by the out
ward visible signs. The choicest
volumes, containing the greatest
good and the most uplifting thought,
I usually find bound in faded and
worn covers.
These are my answers to the
questions, but as 1 said before, they
are overshadowed by the greater fact
that I love him. Our marriage Is
our right, governed solely by our af-'
lection for each other.
DenOunces State Law.
"That the state of California has
seen fit to forbid marriages between
members of the Japanese and Amer
lean races carries little weight with
me. have pretty good conception
of the frothy, garrulous type of men
that makes the laws fthe state of
California, and should consider them
the last persons on the face of the
earth to be chosen as sponsors for
the public morals.
"On one point I wish to make my
self clear. I do not pose as a pio-
neer in a new movement or a mar
tyr to what consider just and right.
I simply love him and he loves me.
1t is matter solely between us two.
cannot see how our marriage will
interfere with the workings of the
community in any way or to the
detriment of the church. Our mar
riage is our own affair. Public opin-
ion and public cutlery will not
change, though it may wound me.
After all, it is but the cry of the un-
thinking persons who in a week will
have forgotten I existed, in their
mad ambition to clamor against
something else"

it's violation Of conventions laws.
Unfortunately, and this to me is
among my greatest sorrows, the
storm seems to have struck with
greatest fury on her aged shoulders.
This l did not expect and would
have spared her, but she in her love
for me and in her knowledge Of the
right, and justice of my position,
gladly accepted the cruel lashings.
her sole aim being throughout to
shield me as much as possible from
the furies of bitter opposing pub
lie sentiment.
"Of the coarse, horrible inuendoes
will not speak. This statement Is
meant for those minds that are on a
higher plane than the backyard scan
dial. Their brutal attacks have af-
fected me least, and I have never
given them the least consideration,
knowing them to be worthy Of the
sources from whihc they emanated
Attempt to Justify Step.
Another question which I have
seriously considered is whether I, as
an American woman, had the right
to agree to a union with a member
of a race so distinctly the antithesis
of our own. And yet, fail to see
why it should prove of harm. I can
not see why children born of such
a union should possess to any lesser
degree those attributes of American
ism as judged in its highest and
broadest sense than, say, those born
of a union between a native of Pol
and and one of the interior of Rus
STA. Mentality, breeding, courtesy
honor, love of country, and filial
devotion are as much a part of the
japanese characteristic as they are
American.
Il am but simply trying to an
swer the arguments which have been
offered against my marriage to Mr.
Aoki-that is those arguments which
I considered worthy of answering
Such pleas as that he was not veal

that he lacked certain forms and
customs, certain educational advant-
ages, I can sweep by as petty. These
may be very important questions te
those of a world more materialistiC
in it's trend of thought than my own
but to me these facts are no more
important than would be the color
of Mr.. Aoki's necktie or the cut OF
his clothes.
