NAN rN PP ny IN THE WOOD, (Copyright, 1916, by, the McClure Newspaper Byrdicate). e¢ As we entered the strip of woods I smiled at the recollection of a fate- ful trip I had taken along the same path many months before. It was the: time when I injured my ankle when walking beneath the trees, and Billy Bent had come along and found me. Poor Billy Bent! Time had dealt none too gently with him. although' he had realized his ambi- tion and now he was a Coggressman. But if he had an office, he had other possessions which offset the honor. He had, for instance, a rather elderly and homely wife and several child- ren of his own, to say nothing of the stepchildren he had become possessed of when he married the buxom and wealthy Widow Patrick. I smiled again when I thought of Billy's wooing and of my delusion that I was in love with him. Sup- pose I had married him? What a fife I would be leading now. For Billy was not so much a lawyer as a politician, and when he came home at night the former Widow Patrick ~--the present Mrs. Bill Bent--always smelled rum on her statesman-hus- band's breath. How did I know? I knew because the whole town knew, Mrs, Patrick-Bent being a prohibi- tionist of the fanatical type. Her chief joy was to attend a W. C. T. U. meeting and tell her "experience." This "experience" consisted of a nar- rative of Billy Bent's weakness for rum and the incidental mental an- guish of his wife. The conclusion of the '"'experience" was a horrible warning to all women not to marry such a man, Still Mrs. Bent wondered why her husband left her at home when he went to Washington to attend the sessions of Congress, and why he re« mainéd out at night until there was very HNttle night left. Of course, 'I was glad that my affair with Billy had gone no further than it did, but I also was convinced that I could have made the rising young Congressman a more inspiring helpmate than the widow he had chosen. We picked our way along the nar- row path until it merged into the thick undergrowth in the heavier forest, and there we all stopped. "What do you do under these cir- cumstances?" asked the nonplussed Kenneth, Virginia and 1 both laughed. "Why, the proper thing, of course, is to part the undergrowth with your hands and keep on." "But you? What will happen to your skirts, and what will prevent your hands from being scratched to pieces?" "Nothing," I replied, 'But that is part of the penalty of a walk through the woods. If the skirts survive the wear and tear, then so much the bet- ter. If the hands are torn and bleed- ing, then it is nothing more than is to be expected." "I do not like the prospect," *de- clared Kenneth. "I suggest that we Hom Lerrons Prepared Specially for This Newspaper By Pictorial Review we were compelled to smile expense, 'I do not deny it."

Although we had been walking only a short time he cast a look at the lunch basket, which could not and once more at his be misinterpreted. "I could not eat much breakfast because of my desire to be in the foresf;-and 1 must con- fess that there isha"very appetizing odor emanating from this mysterious burden." "I we retrace our steps a few hun- dred feet we will find a path that will lead us to the creek." I told him. "Then we shall retrace," clared.

'"These two tenderfoots will follow you, but inasmuch as I can see the water from here I fear you will not be a hero very long." Which was true. In another min- ute or two we had reached the creek bank and prepared to camp.

THE CONFESSIGNS OF on (By Frances Walter) | Have Invaded Many Occupations Formerly Exclusive to Men. i Women of Japan do not spend all their time and talents arranging flowers and embroidering beautiful kimonos, however much those of us who have aever wisited 'The Flow- ery Kingdom" may think of those two occupations as employing the greater part of their days. The Jap- anese woman of these.present times is marching straight ahead, keeping step as far as possible with her sis- ters of western lands. She, too, i8| finding her way into. fields which have hitherto been supposed to be! _open to men only. A Japanese paper | interested in the question recently] estimated that the women of the country are engaged in no less than 64 occupations, wiich not so long ago were considered as belonging exclusively to men. For example, Jzpanese women | have gone into railroad work. They | are occupying posts .as cashiers, biokkeepers, and ticket sellers. The Imperial Railway Bureau is credited { with employing some 4,000 of them in such positions. The Imperial Ar- senal, too, employs a number of wo- men, but there the work is extremely hard. The banks are finding their services valuable, although they have not yet reached the point of paying them a good wage. Still they furn- ish their women employes with work- ing clothes and' lunches, in addition to their salaries, Two such institu- j tions, the Lank of Japan and the ' Hypothee Bank employ approximate- ly 1256 each. These women also share in the semiannual bonuses | which are commoni fealures of the , Industrial and mercantile life of the country. Many women are employed in the telephone companies, Many more earn good wages by typewrit- | Ing. In fact, the typisis are said to have about the best positions of all. he salaries paid to actresses do not compare favorably with those to he had by feminine members of that profession in western countries, Women have found their way into professio: al fields as well; they have become journalists, novelists, musi- cians, artists, and teachers. Also, they have become professors of the art of flower arrangement and cere- monies peculiar to their land. The school feachers are especially !on- ored. In fact, they have '- fill out their not munificent salaries with the respect and social recognition which is lavished upon them. The leader in the education of wo- men in Japan is Miss Umeko Tsuda, 'a graduate of Bryn Mawr College, who was one of the first five girls sent by the Goverament of her coun- try to the United States to study. She is now prineisal of what is con- sidered to be the best school for girls ia all Japan. The courses of study there she models after the curri- culum of her American alma mater, with both required courses and elec- tives. Six hours a week are devoted to the study of English A subjects, three hours to the study of the Eng- lish language, the other three to English literature. Miss Tsuda founded her school some 16 years ago and, during that time, 224 pupils have been gradu ed from it. So high has been" tie standing maintained, that the De partment of Education of the Em- pire grants thom licenses fo teach in its schools, without the formality of examinations. ' No other school is thus honored, so it is said. ' Over 80 of the graduates of this institution are now occupying posts as teachers in high schools and colleges of the land. One Japanese woman is so inter- ested in affairs of state that she sometimes takes a seat in the gal lery when the Diet is in session and practically always, When her hus- band, who is the Prime Minister of the nation, spedks. Not many of lier countrywomen have yet adopted that custom, however. A 5 A South American Doll, JA prettily quaint ofl of a South-American girl a d her doi is given in a book, tho Land," by W. H.
