EN in America the para disc of the New Woman, an open letter from a wife to her husband would be a novelty. When such a let ter comes from an inter nationally fanloas repre- sentative of the gentle womanhood of Japan, 1t is a shock.
 Mime. Muira, who is deeply admired in this country and in Europe as an opera singer, has writ ten to her h Il s b a n q through the pages of 9
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-01-28

woman's magazine in Tokio Her letter aston ishes even those who have been closest to the woman's movement throughout the world. It sums up the evolution of the Japanese woman. It tells the story with dramatic vividness. Gone forever is the humble denying, wistful-eyed lady who has been content to sit patiently behind her lattice and await the pleasure of her lord and master. In her stead we find modern woman, triumphant and defiant, who looks with proud eyes to her sisters across the sea.
 Mme Muira's own life might stand as the epitone of the Oriental woman's eager fumbllng, unhappy struggle for freedom. She spent, as she says, "haf lifetime of tears' before she gained

Japanese society, since the dim beginning of history, has been based on the the ory that the wife must min ister to her husbands de- sires, that she must arrange his home to his taste, must rear his children and, in a very literal sense, must honor, obey and be re- spectful.
 This is like a flash of binding light on Japanese womanhood of to-day. It means that the new woman of Japan has come into being so swiftly that the world has been unaware of her arrival.

each other Indeed, am not at all cer- tain whether we have any right to call ourselves man and wife, if a married couple should be always face to face and never be separated when they go out and when they come in.
 But we march each our separate way, you and 1. On the surface we lead sepa- rate life. With all that, my heart is firm ly united with your own; we trust each other. There is no sense of uneasiness on the part of either of us-not in the least. This, l think, you fully understand. I think also that even while to all outward seeming l appear cool to you, you yourself must recognize that I am fulfilling my part as your wife in another and more noble sense. I am quite content as long as you do that.
 T pray you anew that you remain the good and gentle husband to me to the end of time-to me who was born with this ever young spirit and love for life's beautiful things"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-01-28

n HIS letter, written for the world to j. read, is more than letter. It is
 the Oriental woman's declaration of independence. It is her battle cry of free dom. It means the crumbling of the sturdiest barrier which the enlightened modern woman has faced; for Japan is surely the place of the origin of the idea that woman's place is in the home. For centuries the women of Japan have ac- cepted without murmur masculine domination more complete than that which the women of any other race have endured.

Natural Fighter.
Firpo is natural fighter. His
style is instructive, rather than the
result of rigorous preparation. He
learned much from DeForest, but he
profited most from experience. He
has acquired ring knowledge and
generalship quickly. He has proved
that he can take the hardest of pun
ishment, weather the hottest of fstic
storms, and come back with a de-
molishing attack of his own.
Against Dempsey Firpo will be
vastly improved in form over his ear
lier performances. He is not as fast,
nor has he the champions repertoire
of blows, but he has added fair
measure Of skill and scientific ability
to his rugged strength. Firpo's left
may be more of an asset to him than
ever before, as. result Of his train
ing, but his rights to the body and
the head will be his most effective
punches, the blows by which he hopes
to take the title back to Buenos
