If the woman who wished to know
about washing comfortables viii try my

the result. Pin the comfortables on

are soiled go over them with a piece of
white soap dipped into warm water. Don't
be afraid to rub them; then turn the hose
on them, soaking them thoroughly. After
they have stopped dripping soak them
well again. Leave on the line until per-
fectly dry. The cotton will not pack, but
become light and fluffy. Protect the ends
of the quilts and comfortables by sewing
strips of white cheesecloth on the edges.

THE QUESTION OF
SUFFRAGE IN JAPAN

The equal suffrage movement is the sub
ject of an extremely interesting article in
the April number OF the Japan magazine,
published in Tokyo. The author, Mrs.
Hatoyama. is well known educationist
and teacher of household management in
the Girls Normal school at Tokyo, and
takes quite notable view of point with
regard to the votes for women agitation.
She holds that the claim of her western
sisters to the suffrage is not unrea asonable,
but that Japanese women are not fitted
by education or instinct for the parlia-
mentary vote. With regard to her own
country, she is an anti-suffragist She
writes
Occidental women demand the right of
suffrage. want TO have a voice in poli-
tics, and to be considered on a plane of
equality with men. With this attitude it
is not easy for a Japanese woman to
agree. Her education and age long in
stincts render her repellent to argument
or antagonism with men. fhe recent at
titude Of the suffrage movement in Eng
lard is very difficult for Japanese wom-
an to apprehend or appreciate. II news
paper repors he true, we are bound to
regard the doing Of the British suffra-

sette as extremely imprudent If not fool
ish and unwomanly. A Japanese woman
could by no stretch of the imagination
fancy herself taking part in the ques-
tionable1 tactics reported of the British
suffragettes in the press; nor could We
think of indulging in a strike against food
were we put in prison for our misconduct
Perhaps the undue excitement to agita-
tion among English women is due to "a
jealousy of the American woman, who
now in several states of the union enjoys
the right of franchise
, After stating her agreement with the
western women's claim, she continues:
while approving of the non-militant
propaganda 0 fthe occidental suffragette
1t must not be understood that I would
wish to see the same movement at pres
ent started in Japan. The circumstances
are so vitally different that the western
mind would doubtless be able to appre-
ciate but slightly my reasons for -assum-
ing this attitude In Japan there are few
women who possess influence and fortune
Not only have our women but scant eX-
perience in managing affairs independent
ly of men, but they have not the educa-
ton essential to a successful administra-
ton of political affairs. The average Jap
anese woman Is influenced too much by
sentiment for her judgment to be trusted
in matters of government. Not even in
the matter of bringing up children have
our women the maturity of experience and
knowledge displayed by the women of the
| west. The fact that there is yet really
no sign of woman suffrage movement
| in Japan is proof positive of the signif-
cance of my conviction in the matter.
When our women marry land most of
them do this, and at very early age).
they have enough to do serving their hus-
bands and families without bothering
about outside matters. In fact they have
not sufficient time or even spirit to assert
the rights already conceded them by law.
The suffrage question is an old maids
problem and there are no old maids in
Japan I fear we shall never rise to the
dignity of occidental notions on the ques
tion of female franchise till our women
begin to decline marriage and the number
of our maiden ladies increases. Why. the
Japanese woman as yet has not even self
confidence enough to choose her own hus-
band"
