tons usually asked by
A m eric ans is: Are
geisha prostitutes ?"
The answer is no. Es-
sentially the geisha are
entertainers, dancers,
singers, musicians and
conversationalists. Some
of Japans most famous
geisha have com G
wives or concubines of
national leaders. Most
of them are taken in
training when they are
about ten or twelve
years old and brought
up in small dormitories
under strict supervision.
Geisha are engaged
by the hour. The cost
for geisha at a party of
five friends given in the
celebration of a birth
day or the signing of
some important con-
tract, including food and
restaurant rental space,
could run quite easily
to a hundred dollars for
three or four hours.
Most famous of all
geisha is Ohana miss
Flower, the concubine
of Prince Kimmochi
Saionji, who took her
to Paris in his large en-
tourage when he at

age of ninety-one.
The geisha are an i'm

every commercial deal.

tomary to arrange to

you discover through

But the geisha's part

customers has become.
in recent year, a small
part of their business.
Since their houses be-

in all professions, the
geisha were taken into
a good many conf

The young man knew that she was a
geisha but had fallen eventually like many
others to yield herself to any man who would
pay the price set on her charms by the people
who ran the house. The lieutenant's Samurai
ancestors would have turned in their grave
and his poor but noble parents would have
committed hara-kiri at the thought of their
BOY marrying such a soiled woman.
But Gombei was young and romantic and
the sght OF the grieving young woman had
touched him. He attempted to buy her from
her owners, for she was truly slave having
been sold by her parents to the traffickers.
But the price was too high; it would have
beggared himself and his friends.

up and to find some solution for easing her
misery. His pity turned to love.
One night as he visited her he told her his

that he would be boycotted by the entire

Gas Boards Told TO Meet

BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Two Government agencies acted
today to meet the immediate mileage
requirement of farmers and other
commercial motor vehicle operators
whose certificates of war necessity
do not provide as much gasoline as
the operators believe is necessary.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton, acting on a request of the
Oface Of Defense Transportation,
instructed rationinng boards to is
sue temporary rations sufficient to
take care of the needs of the op-
orators between December / and
January 81.
Temporary rations will be issued
by the boards on the basis of the
operators own estimate of his min
imum mileage needs instead of on
the gallonage stated on the ODT
war certificate.
All rations issued under the tenn
porary arrangement will be deduct
ed from the operators allotment
granted by the ODT for the period
beginning November % and end
ing March 81, 1943. OPA ration
