HASKELL In Nippon Land OW oft in these degenerate days must a H sigh escape the lips of the conservative Jap as he sits in the twilight, or any good place for sighing—for gone are the good old days when the Lady Jap dumbly and_ thankfully yielded submission to husband and parents-in- law, letting her mind, soul and heart lie flat under the steam roller of their august opinions. Gone, too, are the simple times when her education, after the age of seven, consisted of a concentra- tion of intellect on flowers and tea, two lumps or one, and long stems or short, causing all the havoc that was done to her brain cells. No longer an echo or a shadow, with only two passions—a devotion to ancestors and a love of descendants— the Lady Jap has, alas, developed an inflated ego! She has rushed into education, graduating 20,000 girls annually from the High Schools and sending many of them to college. She has thrust herself into industry, flooding the factories and the business offices with specimens of her kimono- clad kind. She has burst into an orgy of clubs, flourishing boldly her Patriotic Society with its 80,000 members and her W. C. T. U. with its 5,000 adherents. She has come into the courts in the person of a brazen sister, successfully win- ning a breach of promise suit from a gentleman deserter. And, worst of all, the insurgent spirit has incited her to found a great suffragetical society of 100,000 strong. Undaunted and cour- ageous, the members of this association face unflinchingly a horrible fate. They may all become old maids! For each one has vowed that no man shall become a benedict with her assist- ance who does not pledge himself in writing to support the cause of woman, use all his influence to better her condition socially and economically, and to that end each young male must secure the written pledge of five of his pals to assist him in this worthy work. Japan may be the country where the original homebody had her habitat, but the memory of the gentle hearth-hugger is daily growing more and more dim. Chinese Feminists RE Chinese women feministic back-numbers? Are they supine and spiritless, not only foot-bound but brain-tied? Not to any startling extent. For they have a past that would shame any such flabbiness of soul. Like ‘veterans of the late war,” many of them can sit ’round and swap marvelous tales of the “late revoiution,” telling of nurses sent from battlefield to battle- field not only to heal wounds but to perform oper- ations, of women hitherto secluded begging from door to door in the streets for funds and mecting in great gatherings to tear off their jewelry, that represented the savings of years, to sacrifice it for war purposes. And they can boast of the reward given their sex for this brave backing of the fight- ing men in the seating of a Chinese woman in parliament, the election of ten women to sit in the assembly of the Province of Shantung and the right to vote for them by numbers of their proud sisters. Because of a slump in the spirit of freedom, women do not vote or hold office now, but they are given greater and gr ‘ater Opportun, ties eve » Any Chinese girl can now be come a teacher, a nurse, a doctor, a governmes, student abroad, or even a social reformer. Wo. men's newspapers abound, and the lower c lasses have the factory. against foot- binding end will, when these fundamental wrongs are righted, not hesitate to devote itself to the securing of political power for its tiny, almond-eyed men. Chinese women are decidedly on the job, cutting out their characters according to th latest modern patterns of femininity, and one of the greatest Chinese puzzles of the day is just how far and how fast they will go along the path of woman’s emancipation. On India’s Coral Strand HE male of the species may be able to stra about more pompously before an illiterate wife than before an educated one, but sometimes he feels like omitting the strut altogether, he gets so worn out listening to the conversation of a lady who regards books simply as objects to dus. This seems to be the case in India, where the younger men are mentally on strike against many. ing women who know so little that they think a amulet will cure the baby’s colic, and that hygiene and sanitation are simply verbal jawbreakess unrelated to actual life. Education, then, is the absorbing topic for Indian women, since out o 110,000,000 girls and women only one mille receive any instruction. There has been estab lished a medical college for women at Delhi, and now a woman’s university is being planned anda college extension course is proposed that wil offer a series of lectures in the vernacular to girls and women in the provinces. But while they are far from the front in the acquisition of th three R’s, women in parts of India have for yeas flourished ballots. Burmese women have bee given the right to control their own property from time immemorial. They have a vote in the municipality of Rangoon, and have had it for ¢ years. Hindus, Mohammedans, Parsees and Buddhist women have been known to vote quilt generally. ‘Thus it is that India has earned 2 right to fall into line in the feministic procession of nations. Suffrage Facts and Fancies Ry ANNA CADOGAN ETZ A Sign of Progress N England, where, if police records run trv, wife-beating is a custom, one of these offend ers was led into court and fined five shilling because he had beat his wife until she had neatly bled to death, and incidentally damaged het se ing machine. “If he hadn't hurt her sewing machine wouldn't have been fined at all," grunted ano looker with deep disgust. “Cheer up! We are getting on,” a more kor ng one rejoined, “Don’t you see that the cout beginning to hold sacred the tools of wom) which is a sign that in due season it will come hold sacred the woman herself?” Comicbooks.com
