There are probably 100000 geishas in
Japan, about one-third of the number Of
ladies who follow the more unconventional
profession that places them without the
social pale. There are a dozen or more
geishas in Toxic and Yokohama who are
quite as celebrated as the famous actors in
the Kabuki Theatre in Toxic, where Naka-
mura Utayemon, at so years. plays the part
of young women, and his son, Fukusuke,
supports him in female role or in Osaka,
where Ganjiro holds the stellar histrionic
honors.
The geisha is in class by herself. She
is usually slender, is wonderfully garbed
in a resplendent kimono of lilac. cherry,
gold and purple. and sports a most wonder

curved and her lashes pomaded. her lips

"a little five inch fan, which is more of an
ornament than anything else.
The geisha is taught to wear perpetual
smile. That is, in fact. the first lesson
she learns. She sits next to you on the
floor and (if you are a foreign ''jin') pro-

The most celebrated geisha resorts are
in Yokohama, Kobe and Osaka. There are
two or three such establishments in each
of these towns which are designed for the
special entertainment of foreigners and
which provide the best there is in Japanese
architecture, rugs, tapestries art-and
girls.
The geisha is one OF the most honored
of Japanese institutions. In the days OF the
Shoguns she was a woman OF education,
with many accomplishments, and highly
valued in an unconventional social way.
Two or three geishas even found their way
to the throne. 1t is, indeed, said that
Jingo. the first woman Emperor of Japan
900 A. d., was a geisha
The success of some of these early stars
in the geisha world attracted many of the
young women of Japan to the calling from
all classes of the people, and, according to
japanese students, lowered the standards

The geisha girl is to Japan what the

the tired business man of the Mikado's
kingdom for the cares that infest the day
by her artifces, her ingenious physical
appeal and skill at entertaining The
geisha, who is debarred by ancient tradi-
ton from theatrical productions (the
girls parts" being generally personated by
men), holds forth in the tea houses and
resorts that in the Western world might
occasionally come under the ban OF the
police. Yet there is vast difference even

not unusual for representatives OF the less
honored profession to reform and become
Geishas Their early training is regarded
as adding to their stock Of charms.
The census of the Osaka geisha brought
to light very many interesting details
Some of the girls said they wanted to
wear good clothes" that they couldn't get
at home, ride in automobiles" have good
things to eat" get chance to marry

human nature in the Soyemon-Cho at
Osaka is not radically different from
human nature in the Roaring Fortes OF

keeper of the house and the geishas share
expenses and profits.
Half a century ago clever geisha earned
from sixty to seventy yen night Com

considerably and twenty yen (S10) is now
considered a fair return for an entertainer.
When a girl leaves her home and becomes
geisha she must register with the police
She is usually compelled to borrow money

her outfit The police must be informed
Of that. too. and the geisha is not permit

amount has been paid. This is to prevent
her parents or guardians from sharing the

The keeper OF the geisha house prac.

The census or the Osaka geishas showed
that the 5000 girls employed in such es.
adjustments owed the geisha house
keepers an average of 1000 yen each, or a
total of 100000 yen. Between 1916 and
last year 5000 geisha girls in Osaka were

Orient, though less ostentatiously than in
earlier days.
Yet, innocent as is the geisha in plying
her harmless occupation, her hold on the
Japanese mind is giving way before the
ruthless application of Western standards
In other words, reform is trying to place
the geisha on its blacklist along with her
less fortunate sister. whose profession is
more hazardous. Still the geisha has lots
of defenders against the threatened Occi-
dental sacrilege that would deprive her
beautiful country of one of its most pic
turesque features.
Up to date the controversy regarding her
social and moral status has been confined
to verbal and written demands that she be
removed from the other splendors of Jap
anese scenery. But in these decadent days,
when reform is rampant throughout the
world, the tide of public sentiment is in
evitably setting in against the perpetuation
of her clan.

The Geisha Is Innocent.
Yet Reform Is After Her

simple. Her chief attraction is her youth.

awkwardness in welding chopsticks and

ready to go home.
The singing of geisha is something to
marvel at because 1t doesn't resemble
music: her dancing is mere posturing that

tion and grace An Oriental might get a
thrill out of it, but to the Western eye 1t is
much less exciting than the hula-hula OF

compelled to provide a maximum of enter

her pronounced sense of honor. The geisha
is an institution in Japana. She is
licensed by the Government and is prac-
tically owned by the keepers of the geisha

census OF the geishas recently taken

details regarding the personnel and profes-

at Osaka, which has population of more

The largest segregated district in Japan is
also in Osaka. In the geisha houses there
