Very little progress has been made up TO
date toward the adoption of equal suffrage
A bill introduced in the Diet two years ago
was abandoned. Recently the advocates
Of equal suffrage have seized upon the un.
precedented visit of the Crown Prince to
European countries to seek the support of
the members of the national legislature
for movement looking to the extension
of suffrage to men (Which is regulated by
tax qualfcations) and to include women.
Very few women have taken part in this
movement, the recognized leaders being
limited to Mrs. Atiko Yosana, a poetess;
Mrs Hratsuka. an editor and Mrs. Kikue
whose husband is now in prison for incit
ing a riot. The women generally of Japan.
while seeking education, do not go in for
new movements" and particularly equal
suffrage. They are not encouraged to do
so by the men. and as Japan is essentially
mans country" the women actually
have little opportunity to express their
views and desires.

Divorces Not Common Here:
Wife May Not Plead InfdeIit,

Divorces are not nearly so numerous in
the Mikados kingdom as they are in more
enlightened America, England and France.
though the causes for which separations
may be obtained are much the same. In
1918 there were 5S,112 divorces. or trife
more than one-tenth of l per cent. Inf
deity is rarely one of the charges lodged
against the wife and figures infrequently
in applications in which the husband is
defendant for a very singular reason. This
is that a wife is not privileged to allege
infidelity against her husband unless the
husband of the other woman prosecutes his
wife and her paramour
The husband may maintain a mistress
(and many do), but the wife is debarred
from securing divorce on that ground. In
the view of the law of Japan a child is
given preference over the wife in inherit
ing the property of husband and father.
but she may become heir to bequeathed
property. A boy always has precedence
over girl, even if the former be the lille
gitimate son of the father of both, which
is by no means of rare occurrence.
The Text Books of Ethics for the Higher
Girls School issued by the Department OF
Education of Japan provides a fairly COM
prehensive view of the legal status of the
wife. 1t is written there that "a wife
should aspire to become good wife, and
next a wise mother. 1t is the
everyday duty of the wife to welcome her
husband with a gentle look and a kind
word when he returns home in the even
ing fatigued with the days task At
times she may help in the husbanHs work"
The marriage contract negotiated by
mutual consent or civil process) does not
contain the words love, honor and obey"
On this point, however, the Japanese Book
of Ethics says:
obedience to the husband is expected of
the wife as a matter of course. In case he
should bring disgrace on the (wife's) fam.
lily he should be demonstrated with with
candor and gentle words. Jealousy and
angry words should be avoided
In the Japanese family the mother-in-
law of the wife is practically the boss of
the domestic establishment, for il is writ
ten thus in the Book of Ethics:

Women in Husbands
: Shops Receive No Pay

During recent years the introduction of
Western customs has opened the way for
the employment of women in commercial
houses and shops but all Japanese women
help in the shops on an equal footing with
the employees of the husband who owns
the business. She, of course, receives no
pay The shop girls receive an average
of 80 yen Cor $15) month, though a
few get as high as so yen. Some of the
bus companies of Toxic and other cities
employ women conductors who get about
as much as shop girls in the way of wages.
There are about 10000 women employed
as school teachers in the country most of
them in the kindergartens and private
schools There are 5000 dancing teachers
in Toxic alone. There are probably 100000
geisha girls entertainers and dancers) in
the country and probably as many women
Mattresses The social evil, which is
licensed and regulated and confined to the
segregated Yoshiwaras, is represented by
100000 more Japanese girls between the
ages of 16 and %. Slowly but surely the
Western progress is driving this privileged
class into the background. and the greatest
liberties enjoyed by 1t is in the seaports
like Yokohama, Osake, Kobe, Nagasaki and
Shimonoseki.
II has been noted by statisticians that
there has been very large increase in the
women engaged in sanitation" during the

of women engaged in religious vocations
