TYPICAL JAP WOMAN.

The seat Of honor IL always occupied
by the gentleman. The Westerner Ia
apt to infer, therefore. that women In
Japan are not duly respected, and nre
under the iron hand OF man. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
There are exceptions, OF course. but
the Japanese woman is SO educated
ence over her husband the better for
that influence and for her own standing.
The model type Of woman Is she who
exerts her influence by "the mute elO-
Quence of duties well performed"
Women there are who would be just as
outspOken and demOnstrative OF their
influence over men as their kinsfolk OF
the West. but such In Japan belong
only to the lower glasses. The higher
the station OF life the more humble and
modest will be the demeanOr OF the
woman. The mannish woman receives
Just as much contempt as the effemin-
ate man. The subdued appearance the
Japanese wife generally presents to an
outsider IL no reflection OF the treat
ment she Is receiving at the hand OF
her husband. On the contrary, the more
womanly wife appears, the greater
the amount Of influence she exerts over
her husband and also OF respect she
commands from him.
In most cases the woman Ia the soul
Of the household. She Is held reSpOn'
/ sible for the health and education OF
the children, not only before they are
old enough to attend the school, but
even afterward. But the living mora
power and sentiment are principally thu
fruit Of the mothers daily effort.
The housewife In Japan, say Will
two or three children, has very little
time for society, In fact, society life
as It Il understood In Europe ant
America, has no existence In rea
Japan. The sense Of responsibility thu
