There !» an oil adage. “It Is better tn
wear out than rust out." which seems to
have beer. adopted by the w»mm ot our
country, for certainly our women are In
defatigable In t'slr good work Those
of us w.o live la medium-sized cities and
email towns and are far removed from the
bustle and stir of the world can scarcely
realize t'-e (rood work—works of charity—
done by women in large cities. There is
no reason why such work should not ba
done by all; :t.-r is not a woman too poor
or too hutnbl* to contribute
t.- r m!t»- toward the comfort or help of
•one either fellow creature. To convince
you that this sss-r.ion can bo verified I
wish to tell ray readers something of a

women has the obi or sash, which is tho
most costly part of the kimona, always
being of silk or satin even If tho n—t of
tho dress is of cotton. This obi is tied ;
In a huge bow tn the back; that worn b”
the married lady differing in style from
the unmarried, is also does the arrange
ment of the hair. They wear no hats, but
always carry a paper parasol to protect
them from rain nnd sunshine alike. Their
wooden shoes and straw sandals are cu- :
Floslties, and the noise they make scraping
alum, the pavements Is dreadful.
"They enj r the unspeakable blessi-.g
of having clothes that never change style, .
as they have worn the sane since their .
foundation—pauper and millionaire de -a
alike. About their manners, I cannot say
enough; such politeness I have never « -en
and sweeping bows to the ground are given
us on all occasions. When we go in a
shop we are received as though we worn
Intimate friends, and handed tea and the
keeper cannot take enough trouble for ns. .
Every person connected with the shop
comes out to serve us. und they bog us to i
come again even If we haven’t bought. )
"A queer thing Is the way they ke- p
fine pieces of porcelain, satsuma, etc. Af
ter seeing quantities of ordinary wares on
th" floor and shelves, you are asked back
to un liner room, and there piled up against
the walls are hundreds of little wooden
boxes, all exactly alike and without label
of any kind; but tho owner can put h’s
hands on anything you call for. The deli
cate pieces aro wrapped In old yellow
silk cloth, and then packed In cotton. This
custom Is noticed In every shop all over '
the country.
"Tokio is noted for Its bronzes and clol
sonn. and T have never seen mor* exquisite
work than the latter. Tb« art of making
Hi.-i.t tine wares Is handed down from
father to son 'for generations, and the finest
ebnsonn-. mane in Japan today Is made by
th.- family of Namlk.iwa, whose name has
ranked ab.oc others for many y-ars. We
r.. nt through his factory and the process
Is extri niely int« r. sting.
"First, a copper p'ate of the ehnpe re- ;
quin 4 Is selected and very small silver
or gold wlr.s put on to outline the design
tl" n the colored enamel is put on, filling
In th" spaces and making t< perfect picture
of exqnb lt" coloring. The finest piece* are 1
trade without wires, in which tbe colors are

is talented and a beautiful writer, and has
done much to place h< r sister worm n on a
higher plane of domestic, social and r <-
llglot.s life, but It F<em.s to me that thn’
might occupy entirely separate and dis
tinct pag s. Maude Andrews Is now 'n
the Gay Capital, and she writes mainly for
ttio sunny side of life, for the entertain

men. She knows all about the social life
of the monied aristocracy, their coming
and golnvs, their amur ments. their fash
ions In dress, etc. n n the contrary, our
dear old Woman’s Kingdom has been for
the masses. Mrs. King s efforts have b ♦*>
directed to a less favored class —to those
lonely country women who. having been
with or without advantages In their youth
now have to cont- ttd with farm life and the
seamy side of existence. The wom>-n who
