boy at the outside gate. The boy
sauntered back laZily and told the
travelling man that the manager
wouldn't see him.
well, you go and ask him for the
card sent in," said the caller.
In a few minutes the boy returned
from his second trip. Say" remarked
the boy, "the boss told me TO tell ybu
that he tore up that card, but he sent
nickel to you to pay for it."
The travelling man was deabfE in

best he could. He opened his card
case and drew out another card. hand
ing it to the boy.
Give this to your boss" he said,
"and tell him that Ill keep the money.
My cards are two for five. Much
obliged"
The manager rushed out of the gate
to find the travelling man, but he was
too late. The man had left.

mands Of custom. Probably her will was in
domitable her intellect clear and strong In
such she reached more nearly to the
ideal because she could control herself She
believed in the customs of her land she
loved them. She was guided by them SO it
a mistake to regard her soft voice, her
welllearned timidity. indicative of weak
ness, Of feXibility.
Even in the long, musty past a woman
came out now and then and gave to her people
a sample Of the possibilities of the feminine
mind in fields other than the intimate home
life. But such disclosures were naturally rare.
One of these was Murasakishdbu wo-
man who lived about 1900 years ago and
wrote "Genjmonogatari,' realistic story of
Genji prominent member of the nobility of
that time. This novel has long been a classic
in Japan and is studied in the modern schools.
Parts Of It have been translated into English.
Seishonagon, famous poet and sketch
writer, lived about the same time. She was
a strong moralist and noted for her high
and excellent character.
Shiran Yanagawa, the Mrs. Browning OF
Japan, lived during the reign Of Shotgun Toku-
gawa, about 100 years ago, and, together with
her husband, wrote many Chinese poems. At
that time, as today Chinese was the medium
employed by the Japanese classic writer for
the expression of his thoughts
When the breath of western civilization
blew across the picturesque little island OF
Japan 1t melted the chains Of conservatism
and prejudice for women well for men.
And so we have to-day the peculiar spectacle
OF the springng with almost startling zeal
out of the very bosom OF the old. Mothers
who cling with fervent faith to the old school
of training have daughters who go out and
work as newspaper reporters!
There are those whose emancipation is so
radical that IT even jars upon the sensibilities
of one so callous a westerner There are
other women whose growth though marked is
pleasing and graceful To this class belongs
Kashi Iwamoto. Mrs. Iwamoto was of that
generation that helped to make Japan what
she is to-day and she was herself part of the
new order. Born at the end of the old regime
and growing up amidst the fercest struggle
OF transition she imbibed that which was best
of the old and at the same time caught the
true spirit OF the new. Her husband Zenjl
Iwamoto, is weknown literary man and
founder Of Meiji Jogakko, prominent college
for girls. In working with him Mrs. Iwamoto's
views Of life were broadened and she inter
ested herself in all things pertaining to the
welfare of her people. She not only learned
English. but mastered it to n degree in which
her style is not only correct but has dis
tinct literary quality and a charm. partly due,
perhaps. TO a hint Of foreign dom, which

pose, and as she belongs to the new
est generation of workers she be-
lieves she will see great changes in
methods and principles before her
sun is set.
The daughter Of Kashi Iwamoto
the future literary world Of Japan.
She has been writing stories and
translating from foreign tongues for
several years.
The first woman TO enter the regu-
lar newspaper field was Mrs. Takeyo
Takegoshi, who, with her husband,
Joined the staff of the Kokumin-Shin-
bum, in Tokyo, some Is years ago
After four or five years other women
became interested in newspaper work
and to-day many are employed as spe-
cial writer's, as reporters and as edi-
tors Of departments for women.
These are but few Of the women
writer's of Japan. They are sufficient
to illustrate, however. the fact that
the Japanese woman is q creature OF
considerable reserve mental force and
Of intense feeling. Under the new re-
gime only was it possible for her to
make these facts known to the out
side world, since the old teaching con-
strained her to keep hidden every
feeling, every thought, that she might
develop a more Spartan-like charac-
ter, capable OF enduring great sacri-
fee when sacrifice should come-as
it did in the lives of many Japanese
women. 1t was not an accident that
the Japanese soldiers repulsed the
larger men of the Russian army.
They were the sons of mothers whose
discipline through thousands OF years
had we'll nigh reached perfection,
whose endurance was great and
whose wits were sharpened by con-
stant contact with domineering hus-
bands and fractions mothers-in-law.
1t is an unhappy fact that the Jap
anese literature loses its artistic
beauty and its real strength when
translated into foreign languages.
This is probably due to the fact that
the Japanese student is still strug-
Cling in the mazes Of the foreign
tongues and is not as yet capable OF
manipulating the new words so as to
express the fine shades of meaning
that he sees and appreciates in his
own literature. The delicacy with

would one believe her capable or
evolving ideas and expressing
them intelligently.
But, she does both.
The Japanese woman of the old
era was, like her entire nation, a
shut-in. She was the pre-eminent-
iy exclusive member Of an exclu-
sive people. Her powers, her
whole life, were wholly at the dis
posal of her family first, and after
ward of her husband-or, more
correctly speaking. her lord and
master. In a book of the old Sa-
mural is written the law for wo-
men: Firstly. a woman has no
lord to serve but her husband. She
must obey and honor him as her
lord and master. Be cautious.
Never despise nor slight his words.
A woman's first duty is obedience.
She should be careful about the
expression of her face and never
show anger or excitement in her
looks"
Subject to such restrictions, 1t
was impossible for the stranger,
in the past, to learn Of the real
possibilities of the Japanese wo-
man. He could be guided only by
