BARON K. TAKAGl LIKES KlMONAS ON
 WOMEN OF JAPAN
Doesn't Agree With Move ment For Adoptionl of
 Foreigners Dress.

Tolkio, Sept 17-Dr. Baron KzTak- agi, surgeon of the Japanese navy and member of the House officers, does not agree with Mrs. Akiko Yosano, the noted writer, that the women of Ja- pan should adopt the foreign style of dress in order that the race may be- come stronger both physically and in tellectuaIly. He advises the women to stay in their kimono, believing it more hea1thfu1 and incidentally more beautiful He is distinctively the enemy of the present day craze in Japan to take over the manners and customs of the West.
 etDo you know he said to the cor respondent, that the statistics of the deaths of women in Japan are shock ing? In most of the civilized coun- tries as a, rule the death rate for men is higher than that for women. In Japan the reverse is true- This state of affairs did not exist in the early years of this century but has come about suddenly and only very re- gently.
 s'The increase of deaths among women is especially noticeable among young women. The number of deaths among young women is alarming be- cause it means fewer births and weaker children.
 "Compared with England. France or Germany the death rate for women in Japan is three times as high as in those countries.
 Seeking the causes of this rise of the general death rate, Dr. Takag gi said his investigations inclined him to the belief that the losing physical vigor of the Japanese was largely due to, the increase in the number of stu dents and their mode of study. Whereas in the United States with the prevalent love of sports. the de- sirable thing was to be physically strong, in Japan it almost seemed as if to b strong was a reproach. In the decade between 1901 and 1910 there was an increase of one and one-half per cent. in the number of the cases of tuberculosis in Japan and this was due to the habits of the Japanese stu dent. Dr. Takagi pointed out that educated men do not pass the ex- annfnations for conscription we'll as the uneducated men do. Only fifteen out of every thousand college gradu- ates who are examined for conscrip- ton pass in the A class.
 For the growing physical ills of the race the eminent surgeon blamed the initiating of things foreign.
 He advised the girls of Japan

Than I loved thee-love, before."
 What has become of the gay, happy go-lucky, popular actresses whose white, dainty kidded feet tripped to the music of the stage while nights? Her curly blond head and piquant face, lips curved for kisses, delighted the deeply interested theatregoers, more than one of whom went from the bright lights heart smitten. Several times aA Aweek found them in their accustomed seats, looking spic and span, with a flower tucked in their buttonho1e, having come from the florists, where a weekly order was given to present the stage beauty with choicest bouquets, regard less of cost, their well known card at tached.
 Unhappy were the gallant adorers when others thronged the brilliant pIayhouses bent on conquests, and sought to woo their pretty idol of the hour. Friendships of these strangely associated men and attractive women of the theatrical boards often hap pened to turn into sensations or mar riages, which were astonishing. Her rose-t tinted, Iove1y-1ooking face, all at once disappeared from her accustomed attractive place, to be seen no more there. She was in the height of her fame when a suitor, laden with spark ling gems and, with promises of wealth and costly surroundings, rode away with her to the parsons where the knot was tied.
 A complete change come into her life, which was different in every re- spect. Gaiety and fascination were in her past. She had had her own way before-no one thought of crossing her sweet will She was surrounded by dainty clothes, varieties, invited to choice dinners and wine suppers, equipages were placed at her disposal. Even she was advertised by Tnanufac- turers, who had her name and picture on best selling art goods. What she didn't have of homage was scarce worth mentioning.
 All these she gave up, stepped down and off her pedestal, for the love Of a man with neither ambition nor brains He was blinded by the glare of her shimmering robes and coquet-. t1sh ways on the stage, and with no other thought gave her his name There was little heart emotion with either. He became supreme ruler of her life and their home. No aduIatfon was given her.
 First, she refgned over his mansion and was the envy of all her former stage friends Living beyond their Debts poured in for which the brave wife gave up her gems and applied herself to work to save a few dollars The result was when all was gone they quietly moved to a few cheap furnished rooms, which she kept neat ly while in the pursuit of dressmak- ing to make ends meet. BraveIy she struggled uncomplainingly Fortune smiled, but faintly. She turned her experience into dramatization which he assisted her with. Luck sometimes smiled upoH her. Hope struggled up in her poor heart now and then, by great effort. Not one of the many bright actresses of the past ever expe- rienced the bri1liancy they fondly pie tured in their heyday.

NEW SKIRTS SMART AND IN GOOD rAsTE.

ginning to breathe easier. A decided feature of the fashionable skirt is plainness at the front and frequently at the back, but an emphatic fulness at the sides obtained in various ways, as often by pleats as by any other means.
 < Suitable to development in kittens ear cloth. duvetyn. broadcloth. chiffon poplin or serge is the accompanying node1,.a three-piece affair with pleated section inserted at the sides. In me- dium size the skirt requires 2H yards 64-inch material. The buttons may ba of the same or contrasting material
 The new skirts are more exacting than ever regards precision in cut ting. They are full at the bottom. but because of the inclination to define the hip and Wafst-1ines there must not be any suggestion of saggfng or stretch ing, either of which easily could be the outcome of indifferent cutting. The material is folded, of course, that the two parts of each section will be cut at the same time. Only the front gore. however, is placed on a lengthwise fold of the goods. The pleated section, which is laid into position first is on a lengthwise thread of the material. To the right of this the back gore is placed. then the front gore, mention of which already has been made.
 There was never season when the co1ors for street wear were so limited aa this Fall. but the difference is more than ad1ussed in the variety of ma teriaIs in which smart skirts and cos tunes can be made. Combinations of contrasting fabrics are in excellent vogue. For instance, the skirt illus trated may be in gabardine, with side panels of heavy chiffon, cloth Velvet and satin are also used with great success.

GIRLS SHUN MEETING
 MEN NOT DIVORCED

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 T am girl of r, your reader, going with a young man whom, it trans pires, is married. But he has long since not lived with her. Has not yet a divorce. am very fond of him. Do you think it any harm to go with him? My people object because he is not di- vorced. We meet at different places to talk together. Please advise if there's harm in permitting a good night kiss to him.
 It is the worst of harm to go about with or encourage mans visits when he is by law another's. Do not waste time on him when you can pass your hours with a single young man to wed. A goodnight kiss to such a man is adding injury to what is already not allowable.

CORNER FOR COOKS
sWEEr CUCUMBER PICKLES.

To many tastes sweet pickles are far more acceptable than acid ones aand they always seem much more of 8 dainty than the sharper sort. If tender and well sweetened and spiced they often seem like delicious pre- serves.
 To 500 small cucumbers take three quarts of cider vinegar; add two ounces each of cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. three pounds of light brown sugar and a few tiny red pep pers. Let the. cucumbers stand over night in salt and water, and then put them in the cold vinegar and bring to a boil. After the boiling begins cook them ten minutes more.

In the first place she finds a, greatly changed store, that is if she has late ly returned from sea shore or hill zarly summer. The second floor will probably impress her more deeply than any other part of the place, for here she will find as she steps from the elevator a suite of velvet-carpet- lines of women's wear that are rela- tive to each other. Gowns, coats, hats, waists, neg1igees, undermuslins and eorsets. The shoe department is rapidly assuming it's proper set ting and will be ready in a few days.
 Hats are prominent in the mind. One needs a. hat first thing in early fall. What does happen to a. hat that it gets shabby so all-of-a-sud- den. Ones hats seem to be well enough until the fall hats appear, and then a singular air of dowdi- ness takes possession of summer hats.
 In the new millinery <parIorB the showing of fall styles is fascinating. One fingers and looks. The room it. self is so attractive in it's soft gray furnishings, it's blue and gray ere tonne hangings, its old ivory chairs, and artistic lighting fixtures, that one just sits and admires
 As for hats, there is the Castle Sailor, made popular by a famous danseuse. It is ideal for a b1sin ess nat. There are wide, straight -brim- 1ned sailors. and coqule-trinmed walking hats for fall street wear.
