FRAGE PRINTED BY
JAPAN JOURNAL
(Dy Asscciadet Press

Toxic, May 13.-The growing in,
ielest III Japan in the woman question,
winch was enhanced by the participa-
sion OF women as canvassers for their
husbands in the recent election cam
'paign, has been further manifested in
call for proverbs issued by Toxic
DAILY, the Yorodzu. The newspaper
asked for epigrams on the topic.
What a man would wish of his wife,
/ believing this one of the burning
Questions Of the day when SO much
is said in Japan about the sphere
woman.
1 The Journal concludes from the
character of the many thousands OF
replies that the position of japanese
women is still that Of good wives and
wise mothers and of retiring
thrifty careers in home and kitchen.
On the other hand it expresses tho
opinion that as men desire women tc
must be inactive and narrow, making
/ them unworthy, as undesirous, of
different kind of womenfolk. Hence
the next contest will be: Men as
seen by women
The prizes for proverbs on ideals
for womanshood were as follows:
First Prize:
A good wife lays the foundation of
bronze statue.
Second Prize:
To buy gold rings is to hasten the
selling of iron pans.
Third Prize:
Even Queen Victoria was a wife be.
fore her husband.
Soft cotton makes gunpowder.
The wife that complains Of poverty
is the maker of poverty.
Nature planted beard on man and
engraved dimples on woman.
Fourth Prize:
No wife ia too good for her husband.
When the wife is gentle indoors,
the husband can be firm out of doors.
Jealousy is like an injection needle,
IF 1t goes too far, harm ensues,
while too little Of it does no good.
Fifth Prize:
Your economy is great by-product
to increase the net income.
The home with an insincere wife is
more precarious than a flying ma
chine with an injured propeller.
One end of vanity passes into
prison.
The heaviest load for the husband
is the wifes vanity.
A CHEEKY face is the best toilet.
| Luxury is bomb that destroys the
home.

rather than the wife of prime

TO talk happiness with an untrue
wife is like admiring the moon with
