Honolulu, T. H, November 20.--A
unique feature of the gradual rise of
womens influence in Japan. until
their position now is slowly approx
mating that of American and British
women, Is that they are giving up
smoking just at the time when great
comment has arisen over the increase
of smoking among their sisters IN
America and England, according to
Dr.. T. II. Haden, dean of the theologi-
cal department of Kwansei Gakuin, a
mission college in Japan. who at
tended sessions here of the Pan
Pacific educational conference as one
of the empires representatives.
| Formerly all classes of women in
Japan smoked in public as we'll as in
their homes DR. Haden said. THE
Influence of the west has almost
stopped this custom, although IL is
to the interest of the government to
foster it, as tobacco is a government
monopoly"
DR.. Haden said that a new word
for katein-has been coined
in Japan to express the meaning and
idea of home life in western civiliza-
ton as II is being learned by the Jap
anese.
The changing condition OF Jap
anese women is only begun, but it is
proceeding with rapidity and inten-
sity which are very significant and
hopeful" he said. The Japanese
language had word expressing
house and household, but they had no
conception of home life in the occi-
dent, where women are on an equal
footing with men. This is now ex
pressed by 'katei with the new APP

Ada Meyer was pretty, vivaclous
fluffy little woman, thoroughly mon
dame and contented with herself, her
husband, her world. Entirely lacking
in any special aptitude for painting,
she dabbled in oils bit, partly be-
cause it afforded her an outlet for
much superfluous energy that might
otherwise have got her into mischief,
partly because she was fond OF Prs-
ella, believed her by way of being a
genius, and was glad to lend the girl
the show of chaperonage without
which she must have had a difficult
time Of 1t with Aunt Esther. But Mrs.
Meyer was as apt as not to absent her.

time, and on this afternoon Priscilla
found nothing to indicate that the

Glad to be spared the necessity of
explaining that she wanted to be

tending the preparation Of tea by the
maid she had brought with her, plac-
ing the table and the chairs the way

down over Macdougall alley. when she
heard Philip utter startled exclama-

Turning she saw him approaching,
| the scrubbed pages of her narrative
crushed in his hand, his face dark
with amazement.

"But of course, Philipw And then,
alarmed by his look of doubt-"What
is it? Why do you ask?"
Half a minute" Philip crossed to
the console table near the door, where
he had left his hat and stick and a
folded newspaper, and came back
with the latter, hastily shaking out its
sheets. II remember noticing a news
story on my way here" he said alb
stractedly, as he scanned the columns
-"story curiously like yours in some
respects-about some gangster or
other on the lower East side who shot

then took refuge in q restaurant, and
escaped after shooting two others. I'm

gers tapped the paper smartly. Here

A headline smote her understanding
like a blow in the face:

truth is, most of the time she's rather
sef-satistied and pleased with every
thing-the life she leads, the people
she knows, the fun she has--eyery-
thing"
Il understand" Now unfeignedly
intrigued, Philip had abandoned all
pretense of treating the matter light
~, and was sitting forward, cigaret
smoldering between his fingers, his
eyes intently searching Prisella's
face. Tell me something about the
content of these dreams. Go back as
far as you can :"
MY first memories are very vague"
Priscilla told him. "They were child

little girl who was rather unhappy
most of the time. | think she lived
with an old woman-a wretched old
witch of woman who was cruel to

tell fortunes with cards in the front

that the little girl used to play a great
deal in the streets"
But when sheer you-grew up,
the dreams became more real?"

to break off here and explain about

Street

was afraid of Red. and always re-
fused. | think she always meant to
marry Red Carnehan until last
night :"
Priscilla paused and was so long
silent, staring at the floor, lost in
thoughts and emotions conjured UP by
this near approach to her latest
dream, that Philip found it necessary
to prompt her.
