crossing 10000 miles of water to meet
q man you have never seen. but to
whom. within an hour after your
timid. trusting glance rests upon him,
you will be married
Possibly 1000 women in Hawaii have
had this experience. These women
are tho Japanese picture brides,
1000 of whom have left their homes
In Dai Nippon within the last five
years to come to Honolulu, where they
have met their husbands-to-be. How
these brides are selected, how they
make the long journey, how they learn
to adjust themselves to occidental life
and manners perhaps no one in Ia
vail knows better than does Mrs.
Tsue Kishimoto. who. as an employe
of the Honolulu Young Wonen.s Chris

fort and moral safety of the Japanese
woman immigrants.
Every vessel bringing passengers
from Japan to Honolulu has aboard at

Kishimoto, who is q quiet, well posted.

English than the average American in
Honolulu. Some of these women
might be considered very young girls.
