Thé Trutk About Geisha Girls Many pebple who have flot been to Japan have the mistakeii tédea that geisha girls are caîl- irls; they -are ýnot. Iun ro ci1- ~uf1~ane$could a mran, Éther g Japanese or a visitor, drop lu at a tea haouse an-d get fresh wtith one of these girls. He'd be luustled oui, of the pl1a ce in- stantly. The geisha g i rls are enter- tainers. They are trained'to sing eud dance and tell anecdotes3 for Che amusement of guests. An rasy friendship prevails. butno mûore than that. There is nothing ouitside Japar to which 1. eau liken 4it. A club of sorts? Yes, but you can't just pay a subscription and becomie 4 imember. As a rule, somre rich mian starts a tea bouise of this kind for the diversion of hirnself and sucli friends as he may care, to take along -- in tbe way that lu the old days ricb< men la IEngland had private orchestras ta play from a gallery and en- tertain their guests during dia- ff1er. The geishas are flot brought juto the home but are outside it in a bouse specially set up for tue purpose. And the gelishas not ounly provide the entertainment, but they provide the mnal., too, and serve it as well. The ,guest si;ts on the floor, accordiug ta Japanese custorni, and by eacb kneels a girl. She filis ais glass> wvith saki or aay other drink he may fancy, puts choice morseis ou his plate and mighit even pop it into his rnouth. The girl doesn't dine at the smre tirne. She chatters al t he while. After the meal corne a içeries of games in which al join, guests and girls. They play rQmping games. There is siniging in which the mien join, too. Thea the girls perforrn) a dance and sometirnes th men join in that as weLi1 but it isn't likie our danaciaj. They don't hold eachi other, but go through a series of solo pos- tures to imusie provided by three or four of the other girls. These geisha girls dress in a traditional m a nn er which 1 didn't find at ail attractive. Their faces are painted a de-ad white &ndl are quite expressionless. Their hair is taken up) in three ~weeps, one frorn each side and the third frorn the front and piled up On the top of the hied- three immense buns h eld in place by a comb. They wear kimonos, of eourse, with largde bows on the back. How did 1 see themi if these places are so exclusive? Weli, anyone can if he is taken by the right man -- you are then one of the guests. But omnsy inen are allowed lu, writes R. 3. Minney in "Tit Bits." Yéu won't find any geishas in the vightclubs, of whicb there are rnany hundreds la TokSrýo. fThese are run entirely on We3- terr iUnes. Oue of thern, theý (Queen Bee, has 600 dance hos- tesses. You can engage one for "Wel, welli Looks like tle Re- form candidate won the electiou." #PARDON MY ELBQW' - Pitsburgh Pirate catcher bUi Hall (left) and first baseman Dick Stuart collide in the third inning of game with Cubs in Chicago as they' go after a popup hit by tee Walls.

The girls are young and pret-ý ty -- ahl of themn Japanese but lhey wear Western dresses, nat kimonos. Thcy dance, well and some of themn are amnusing Iii1 Iheir conversation. They aI'l speak Englisit. The floor shows atre af the ldind you see ina Londau, Paris tind New York, Sa are the sangs lb.e girls sing, sorne lu English with an American accent-the rest have Japanese words to our owu popular tunes. Public bath bouses abouud lu Japan. That is because m oqst Oweiling bouses have no bath- roomn. In such places there is generally mixed 'bathing. M.n and women strip aend gel labo th. same eaorrnqus indoor pool oif warrn water,' But it is al viery proper. Il is just that their conventions do ýnot mnake theru cousclous of nudîty. There are also au enermous aumnber of Turkisl or sleamn baths. Ia some you eau gel a privale roorn wîth a girl to bath you, She then dries you wilh a towel and gîïveS YOU a mas- sage; but un most cases the roons -are shared by lbree or four men, each of whorn is at- teaded to by a different girl. These places are'run on very strict lines. Even lu the. priva. roorns no fp arnîarity wouid be toleraled, for an attendant keeps popping la ta se. that ail is Il is imrportant lIaI we sbould r ealize' *this, for tihe oddest ideas seem ta prevail in Englanid and Amrerica about the 'ooseuess Gf mnorals amoug the girls of Japan. This impression is fed by Ira.- veliers' tales, ýsorne of Nhieh may be truc, but 1, did uaot fini a-ny confirmation. The girls of Japan, are viva- clous and miany of thern are ex- lremiely pretty. It complexion tbey are as white as Europeans, especially inthoIetowns, where they are very conscious ,of rnake-u-p and take greal pains ta, look their best. Tbey lave tleir hair done lu the Western style, varnisb their fingernails,, wear smart shoe,, even witl kimonos, and make Up, their eyelashes and eyebrows. The girls in China dan't; there they use neither rnake-up nor adoruments 0f any kind. There-are two further notice- able differences betweea these two peoples who are regarded by us as 1bd ing so closely akini. The Japanese girls, also iny, have not the traight, slerider figurt ef the Chines. anid are inclinied te plunMppess. Il Is aiso possible, t* tel Iheir age; it shows in theïr faces, whereas Chines. womenrernain unwriakled uni they are fifty.
