Although In schools they plav lawn
tennis. basketball. &C. and do various
syinhasfic exercises. these sports have
not yet become regular amusements or
exercises for young girls. The japanese
girls play those games for physical OK
ercIses' but they do not enjoy them az
the American girls do.
As the girls become older they gather
'oeelher ana spend their evenings In
composing poems and playing music.
But dancing. although taught in school,
Is not enjoyed by the girls. as there IL
no public dancing hall In Japan; and
the only occasion when they enjoy
dancing outside OF school Is when they
are invited to formal balls. But the
invitations to the foI nal dances do not
come to young girls very often.
ADJUSTMENTS in the sense as they are
known to the young girls in America
are not known To tho japanese girls,
and even II they were allowed 10 enjoy
them. they would not DO a. much
pleased as their American sisters.
Every spare moment OF the japanese
girls Is spent In household duties. IN
which, however. they hnd interest and
pleasure. And what most likely cor
respond to the amusement OF tho Amer
lean girls are tea ceremonies, flower
arranging. poem and music parties: but
the Japanese girls do not consider them
amusements Those arc means OF de-
veop!ng their characters and manners.
and when they play them. girls are sol
eInn and serious Ana there are very
few receptions in the japanese society.
and there are no card parties.

want any recreation. have 10 look for
It themselves, And they do not under

selves Just the same as girls
- of any other country. But
when they reach the age OF eight or
nine their amusements take entirely
different forms.
The most popular game for the sirls
Of nine or ten years old Is keeping
house" One plays the host and others
are her guests. and the host keeps the
house and entertains her guests as the
Srown-up hosts Would do. And often
three or four girls take the part OF
host" and these girls playing hosts
bring various food from their homes
and they cook and prepare the dinner
for the guests.
There Is q game called poem cards
which Is very popular among young
girls. There are one hundred OLD
poems selected for the game. and one
hak OF each poem II written on one
card and the last half on the other
The game Is 20 pick up the card with the
last half of the poem when one reads
the hrst half. and vice versa. This
game Is probably tho most popular
among the girls OF all ages, and It is
especially played at the New Year cele-
bration and during the month OF jan
uary.
Tea ceremonies ana flower arrang-
ing parties are the delights OF the girls.
The tea II served In the most STRIFE:
form according to the solemn old rule
OF tea ceremony. and the flowers are
arranged In various vases also con-
forming TO the rules OF tho arrange
ment. The girls compete for the honor
of tho best performers OF these cero-
monies In the parties
Theatres and vaudeville houses are
prohibited TO the girls until they como

theatres and similar places OF amusc-
ment are not good for the morals o.
young people, either boys or girls, And
even the moving picture shows. which
are Just as numerous in Japan at pres
