review of decidedly radical tendencies, one
of very few reviews among the Japanese peri
odicals which sometimes forget themselves
to the extent of printing articles with really
meaty matters in thcm) "The Gendai," which
in one of its special issues often carries as
many as 500 pages of reading matter; ''Sh
kuio Gaho tor Ladies Pictorial'O, one of the
most important among women's magazines;
"omoshiro Kurabu," magazine devoted
largely to humor, unique among the publica
tions of the type not only in Japan but in
the rest of the world of publications, perhaps
not in quality but certainly in volume, for it
carries more than $50 pages of reading in
every issue, and 'Kodan Zasshi'' and "The
Toxic Puck which may be called the rank
ing humorous publication in Japan to-day.
Each and every one of these magazines IS
much more important than 80 per cent of the
publications listed by the Year Book This
information might come as something OF
surprise to practically all of the foreign writ
ers and so-called authorities ON Japan. Most
of them go to the Japan Year Book as the
final altar of light on all things Japanese
Some of the gentle anti-Japanese propagand-
lists in the United States have quoted it as
They have advertised it as governmental
publication Of Japan--or if not quite that, at
least as sem-otfcial work of information on
Japan The actual fact is about as far as
the smile of Buddha is supposed to be from
the gate Of Hades. And this list OF the Toxic
publication given on pages 1913 and l94 OF It's
l921-'22 edition is an excellent sample OF
the -go-lucky manner which marks the
preparation of the work. 1t is by no means
the only sin of omission of which the work
is guilty.
Out of at least seighty-two periodicals pub
I;shed in Toxic no less than twenty-three are
devoted to the interests and affairs OF women
and girls That,is by far and away the largest

of Nippon, but also in the sentimental history
of the race. The girl faces on the covers of the
current magazines are, therefore, telling
much bigger story than mere passing fad.
When one comes TO the contents of current
Japanese magazines he meets wordy void
entirely too painful to be funny and too stupid
to be sad. Take serious magazine of highest
pretensions. The "Taiyo,' published by one
of the oldest publishing houses in Japan, HAIKU
bunkan occupies the place among the Japanese
magazines similar to that of 'sThe Century
Magazine" in the United States. 1t deals with
the political financial, economic, social, liter
airy and artistic activities. 1t carries Il great
deal OF fiction, also. The table of contents Of
the ''Taiyo'' carries a list Of well known names
among the writer's politicians, educators and
fnanciers OF the present day Japan. All
through hundreds of pages devoted to serious
articles reader meets opinions, opinions and
again opinions Facts? Accounts Of investi-
cations, of scholarly RESEARCHES? Records of
achievements? First hand stories of great
and historic events? OF exploration into far
fields neversbe before visited? No. These things
are much rarer in the pages of the "Taiyo,'
the leading monthly Of Japan, than real gold
coin in Coney Island prize package. The
magazine is a mcnstrous many hundred page
advertisement of intellectual indolenee of Jap
anese writers. And this sort OF thing comes
out month in and month out, year after year.
And fiction? Most of these so-called short
stories are novelettes in the number Of words
they contain. The outstanding characteristic,
which is well nigh universal with the current
magazine of Japan, is the complete absence
Of anything remotely resembling plot. The
japanese brain seems to lack constructive
ability to a sad degree. But Buddha and
gods, how they describe! Description is dealt
with in carload lots.
As for the characters who people their crea-
tive literature, they don't do anything particu-
larly, They seem to have q supreme and nm
speakable contempt for actions of any sort.
They behave as though the very thought of
doing anything is utterly vulgar and Of low
taste. So when a hero meets q heroine they talk.
They eat together and talk. They look down
each into the others innernlost soul and---talk
some more. They stand IN the tepid twilight
Of b summer evenng-and talk They sit in a
lacquer framed room and---talk and talk.

dran,a while there are two magazines devoted
IN +he study of the English language. All oil
which shows what an overwhelming majority
party are Japanese women among the nlaga
zine readers in Nippon to-day.
That is another way Of saying That the
women of Japan are joining more and more
the leisure class of the nation--1ust as IN the
limited States. And, as in America, the cultl-
walton Of taste for letters and arts Is .falling
more and more into gentler hands in Japan
every day that passes.
Every autumn at Uyeno Park, IN Toxic, an
art exhibition is held. 1t opens it's doors at .
o'clock in the morning. If an American tour
ist happened along and saw hundreds OF people
blackening the entrance OF the exhlbltlon pulla-
ing he would doubtless jump to the conclusion
that worlds series was being staged there Iof
the number of persons who rush the door Oh
the art exhibition long before its opening time
reminds one of nothing so nuch.as the army OIL
impatient fans waiting for the opening OF a
baseball series. And more than 20 per cent OF
the crowd are women and girls.
Art enthusiasm of the Japanese women IS
not confined TO any one stratum OF society
there. Wives and daughters Of multi-million-
aires mingle with the women OF the pennyless
class. One can often see princesses of the
blood standing spellbound and fascinated with
daughters of merchants and farmers in one
and the same dense mass of lookers-on under
the magic Of one and the same masterpiece.
Foreign observers looking upon q scene of this
sort declare that tbs popular enthusiasm OF
the Japanese people for art is nothing short OF
a craze. And it is unquestionably true that It
is craze among the women of Toxic,
The remarkable thing about ii all is that the
furlblest among the art ,Vorshippers Of Toxic
seem to be blessed with a natural sense of tell
ing what is good from what is worthless The
crowd Is composed of representatives OF almost
avery grade of Toxic society. II is this sort of

scene which makes the foreign critic declare
that the japanese are blessed with an art heri-
tage unique among the races Of men, and
which goes clean down TO the coolie class.
But, of course, these things we have known
since the days of the gods. There is nothing
new about them. What is new in the present
development of the art emotion of the Japanese
people is this:
For the first time in the history of the Nip
pom art feminine beauty is becoming the in
spiration of the artists of the country, This
does not mean that we have not had artists
who devoted their talents to the portrayal Of
the beautiful in feminine features, figures ard
grace. Kitagawa Utamaro, whose tall, willowy
Yedo women of the Genroku period are SO
familiar to the American collectors of the
Japanese prints, was one of them; SO also was
Tori Kiyonaga, to whose women Whistler and
De Goncourts lost their souls. But, after all,
they were mere illustrators, those Ukiyoe mas
ters, minor artists, especially in the eyes OF
the old Nippon art. Masters like Sesshu, Ses-
son, Okyo and Kano Motonobu always found
their inspiration in mist-mantled hills or a
thatched roof peeping out Of the snow waste,
in trees and flowers and birds, in fish and
beasts of the fields-never in the human form.
Last autumn the greatest sensation Of the
Uyeno exhibition was not a picture of flower
or a bird or Of portrait of Mount Fuji the
Peerless. 1t was the portrait OF Kinsho, hero
inc in famous play by Chikamatsu, painted
by Nishiyama, OF, Kioto. There was another
picture which called forth comments and en-
thusiasn of the spectators only next TO Nishi-
yanla's work. Tt was the work by kishida- 1t
was the picture of neither a snow scene nor of
the Nirvanic peace of rustic pond forgot
picture of q girl-that Of his own little
daughter
The art emotion finding its inspiration IN
feminine charms in Nippon art is an epochal
thing not only IN the story af theaplctorial art

The House,Uife's
Idea Box
To Keep Mice Away From Books.

Mice seem to love books as much as
some humans. Therefore when books
are put away on shelves and are not
often handled mice are apt to gnaw
at them. To prevent this lay some
gum camphor on the shelves among
the books. It will keep the mice away.

NEW RESOLUTE ADMIRED
- AT PUBLIC INSPECTIONS
Appointments and Comforts
of Ship on VieU.

After a number of receptions, during
which approximately 5000 special guests
of the company were entertained. the
rev steamer Resolute of the United
American Lines was thrown open to the
public on Saturday and yesterday after
moons. Most OF those who inspected the
ship We're convinced that she has few IL
any equals in the comfort and beauty of
her appointments.
Completed in 1920 for transequatorial
service. the Resolute has unusually spa
clous and well ventilated staterooms and
decks. The expansive boat deck is al
most entirely free of distractions. the
iireboats having been swung sufficiently
high to allow of promenading under
,ieath. The staterooms with beds in
stead of the old style berths. are excep-
tionally comfortable.
Some of the notable features of the
public rooms are a swimming pool
gymnasium and botanical garden on the
Loaf deck, winter garden and veranda
oafe on the promenade deck, and a
large dining room extending up two
decks from d deck and equipped for $50
diners.
Capt. Daniel Mailman. who commands
the Resolute, and is also commodore OF
tLr United American Lines fleet. takes
particular pride In showing visitors the
many improved mechanical devices with
which the bridge is equipped. Telephone
connection is maintained with all parts
OF the ship. A series OF tubes reports
the temperature in each hold All bulk
heads can be closed from the bridge and
the closing OF each Is recorded by an
electric flash signal These and other
similar devices place the ship. In spite
of Its size and complexity, absolutely
under the control OF the officer in COM
mand at the bridge.
