Yankee Gn!sF ondness for Outdoor
Life Is Puzzle to japanese Maid
NOT FOR HIM.

Occident, has decided that the dress of
the Far West does not become her.
The native dress lends grace and
dignity to the wearer. The models of
the new world put the sweetest of
Japan to a disadvantage. Therefore,
the japanese summer girl clings loyalty
to the costume sanctioned by tradition,
and is like n feathery whiff from a
screen or fan.
To see her is to get the impression of
dainty hands. nose, eyes, mouth, ears
and chin, of gorgeous eyes, a brilliant
silken ash and a long single garment
open at the throat.
Silent, pattering noiselessly from
place to place, this charming bit of
femininity looks more like the vision
of April, of %springtime, than the sum-
mer, just as her more masculine sister
of the Far West seems to exhale the
very breath of the summer in he buoy
ant spirits she throws into her play.
In gardens surrounded, often by
Samurai in the more ancient parts of
the Japanese realm, or by soldiers and
policemen In the more modern sections,
the daughter of Japan spends her sum-
mer in study and contemplation.
She gives herself up to her studies
because it is too warm to move about
physically, and she interests herself
in the flowers because nature, being at
the very apex of it's opulent beauty
seems to send out an invitation
through the scent of the blooms and
the eye winning the beauty of their
petals.
Her studies take up a large part OF
her day. Before little writing tables
not more than twelve inches high, She
and her companions squat on small
padded mats, while some other samura
explains the intricacies of one of the
most difficult of languages.
The inevitable tea takes up a large
part of the attention of the Japanese
summergirl.

Daughter of the Orient Like a
Feathery Whit from a
Fan.

APANESE women who visit the
United States during the warm
months of the year find themselves
baffled by one phase of our life. They
cannot understand the American sum-
mer girl.
In every respect she differs completely
from the girl of their own Orient; her
pleasures are so far removed, her cos
tune so different, that she never can
get over the riddle.
The American summer girl is a
sportswoman par excellence. She likes
to swim, ride, play golf, tennis, sail a
BOAT and hunt. She lives in the open.
The deadly blaze of the summers sun
has no effect ON her. She accepts the
sunburn and defies the heat that at
tends her outdoor amusements. Her
one ambition is to be p~erpetually and
%eternally busy.
In the winter she may give herself
over to the gentler things of life, and
read and study. But for her summer

g%irlhood again and rejoice in the pos
session of muscles, a good circulation
and the enthusiasm to get the benefit
of both.
No wonder the japanese girl mar
wells. Her own life is the exact oppo-
site.
With her summertime is a season fol-
rest and reflection. 1t is also a tim
to get close to nature, to study the
flowers and the fields. Unknown to hei

WHY THE CANAL
DOESN'T PAY

mittee, is plain as the nose on ones face. In every case where
railroad interests have secured control of canal property that
property has ceased to be remunerative. The Delaware and Rari-
tan canal earned as much as S75OO0O of net profit for the year just
prior to the time the Pennsylvania railroad acquired the property.
Last year the canal was operated at a loss of 100000, although
in the intervening years there has been an enormous increase in
population and volume of business. And be it remembered that
the canal is operated by one of the best organized and ablest cor.
porations in the world. Railroad policy is everywhere opposed TO
water navigation. II wrecked the Morris canal: it tried to wreck
the Erie canal and opposed the project of deepening that canal,
and for years it prevented Congress from taking favorable action
on the building of the Panama canal. Railroad policy is railroad
business policy. The canal is regarded as an obstruction and
menace to railroad enterprise, and the railroad company takes pos
session and extnguishes its competition. The Pennsylvania rail
road might frankly admit the facts. And the State can do moth
ing. for the canal is kept open for traffic.

out of Spain, while giving out lying statements about the situation.
The same stupid game was played when the Spanish troops were
disastrously defeated in Morocco. Nobody believes the DISPATCHES
from Spain that come vised by the official censor, and everybody
believes that Spain is facing one of the most perilous crises in its
history. Sooner or later the facts are made known. The outside
world has yet to learn the truth about Barcelona. Explanations
from official sources won't do. And the real situation throughout
Spain will soon be developed. Roseate accounts, dictated at
Madrid, only provoke a smile.

people this opportunity. Justice swayze tells these discounted

men in all communities to block public enterprise and progress,
and it is refreshing to see them CURLY shown out of court.
