JAPANESE GIRLS

| A day of japanese wife is hard. 1t
| begins early and ends late At least
two hours before the husband is
awake she is up and prepares the
breakfast. The Japanese husband
never cooks his own breakfast, and it
| is an objectionable disgrace for a
wife to be in bed after her husband is
up. Generally the wife goes to bed
after her husband and is up hours be-
| fore him.
The Japanese breakfast is not so
easy to prepare as the breakfast of
| this country, as there are no break
fast foods" To prepare a good Jap
anese breakfast takes at least one hour
and half, and even with the help of
several servants it cannot be done
more quickly.
Before the head of the family is up
all rooms should be swept, furniture
busted and all wooden parts of the
house cleaned with wet cloths. And
the garden, should be swept and wat

garden). In some families they take

should see every morning that the wa

only day in the year that they do not
wash is New Years day During
summer they change underwear and
dresses. every day, andvin better fam

is not their custom to send their
washing to laundries-everythin is
washed at home.

of house to plan, to buy material
and to make the clothing. In ordi-
nary families they do not have clothes
made by dressmakers, except formal
dresses and clothes for special ocCa
sions. Every spare moment of the
Japanese wife is spent in sewing or
in planning clothes for the members
of the family.
1t is the duty of a Japanese wife to
entertain all guests who visit her
house, and whenever a dinner or sup
per is served to the guests it is the
mistress who serves it when the Wis
itors are guests Of the family or
friends of her husband. All such
dinners are cooked at home under the
direction of the wife, as there is no
delicatessen store in Japan. 1t is The
custom to entertain guests at home
and not at hotels or restaurants.
Sundays are not different from week
days for Japanese wives, although
husbands do not generally work on
Sundays On the contrary, Sundays
are the busiest days for the Japanese
mistresses, as on these days guests
will generally come, and three big
meals must be cooked; while on week

took great deal of tinkering and
experiment to resurrect the blood
tingling autumn pastime from the
debris of popular disfavor following
the crusade which wrecked the
good, old-fashioned game of six
years ago. The new game seems
to have been well worth the wait
and the trouble.
The old game came into disfa-

to it. And these same dangers had
a discouraging influence on the ell

natural advantage, but not neces-
sarily vital issue. Brute strength
game first, last and all the time.
The primitive qualification of class
was stamina to stand up under
punishment; power to grind
through a wall OF human resist

game naturally devolved into a sur
vival of the fittest. None but a
giant might play with any amount
of safely. Weaklings had no place
on the grldifon. Speed and cum

Bad Features Eliminated.
The game as played now seems
to have eliminated all the objec-
tionable features of the old style of
play, and at the same time retained
all the more desirable fundamen-
tails. 1t is quite true that foot
ball was never meant for invalids.
