WHERE FLAPPER is UNKNOWN
Life in Japan Seems Largely a Matter
of NegatIons for Both Girls
and Women.

In Japan the "fiapper" has not ar
rived. The majority of Japanese
young girls never exchange a word
with man of manageable age out
aide their own immediate family.
There Is no masculine audience for
young feminine coqnettes and there is
no masculine eye to admire the little
personal adOrnments, the choice OF
which fills such a large part OF the
frivolous western sisters exciting life.
1t would seem indeed that life for
the young japanese girl is mainly a
matter Of negatiOns, observes the New
East Magazine. She has no real clothes
problem. Her dress haT been designed
by some mysterious power long be-
fore she was born. 1t has been de-
creed that at certain age she shall
wear certain colors, which must be
changed at certain seasons. Her
kimon0 shall have longer or shorter
sleeves on this or that occasion. Her
obi shall be so high and Of such and
such colors. She has not even % think
of how she shGl. arrange her hair, for
the same mysterious power has decrccd
that the hair shall he oiled. stiSfcncd.
combed and twisted into given pat
tern. AS this mysterious power has TO
be obeycd, y hairdresser has to be en-
ploycd regularly for the right fixing
of this couture.
A japanese girl is scarcely an indi-
vldual, hut is rather part of a plan,
and her Silhouette must correspond
with the plan. a husband having. been
obtained for her, a dowry provided. her
wardrobe filled, she has not even to ex-
crcise originality in the furnishing Of
her home. The same mysterious pow
or has dccreed how this home shall
look.
