OLD CUSTOMS HAVE FINALLY VAMtHEO TIMS IS OUR NEW BUILDING HOWARD AND 16TII STS. i 4 N. lilfprndmre for the Wife Mother that W ill ot Affect the Home or It Care. nil One of the results of the Russo-Japan war will be that a new era will arise for the woman of Japan. The attitude and participation of the Japanese, woman In this Great event has given hrr a real place In the world's history. For the first time. In h,cr proper sphere, iShe hni been Intro duced to the world. wrl Baron Kaneko. What the war has ri-me to open the eyes ( of the world lo the sterling qualities of the Japnnese man Is also true cf Japa nese women. While It Is to he conceded that our women, as well as tho?e of any other na tion en Racei In such 4 conflict, would figure In It largely In a way., jet the real part cur women played, because of their natural rerrrvear.d modesty and the gen eral I5r.0rar.re regarding; the true charac ter of our Japanese women, leave her a yet not tn weil known as our men. The result cf this war wl'.l he of In calculable benefit to our women of Japan. It has pin-crt tl.em In a new and alto getter hlfilily. favorable l'icht before the whele civilized wr.rld. Frcm the r.u?o-Ja;-,nn v.-ar will date u rer.aif r. ntc for tt.e Japanese woman, n fn;' as H!'ry Is ccncernol. Heretofore 1 he has fl-jnrtd only in fiction, ar.d often times bad fli-tl.-.n fit that, owing to th unff rtun.ne misconception cf tho writer's suhjert In question. While the war has brought sorrow and suffering Into the hearts of Its thousands of soldier widows It has alro hrought Its birsHnes to the Japanese woman as a whtl. Tlie Japanese woman has lwen the least underrtrod cf nil . Women of civilized na tions. Can-fully reared, contented In her eciud"d home life, she has shown no de riie to change her position, and her posi tion todny remains to a Lire extent that of her ancestors. The outride world has known little or nothlnc of her. Her home, life she considers sacred, and . carefully guarded In Shis, as she Is, tlere has been little opixirtuhlty or even desire for her to extend ner acquaintance outside her Immediate family and other relatives, slm . ply for sjcial entertainment or for her personal pleasure. She has devoted her llf to her family In the performance of the thousand and one little duties dono In the Interests of love. Eo long as she was happy and contented as the center of the best typo of borne life she had no desire to penetrate Into the outside world to seek the flattery and admiration of so called society. Thus the world knew little If anything of the true Japanese woman. It Is true that the visitors of Japan met a certain type of women called the 'Geisha," or chorus girl, and they unfortunately carrfed away with them an opinion of Japanese women based on their limited knowledge of her. Before the war I am sorry to say this opinion was quite general. Nor did we take the trouble to correct It. ' The serious side of the Japanese woman and her Innate talents have found best ex presslon during these trying times through which her country Is passing. To ap preciate that she has shared generously In these, If 1 only necessary to consider her work, which has contributed to the Japanese successes In almost every phase with the exception of actlvs service In the ranks. Almost all the appliances of war, Including clothing, special food for the soldiers, cotton balls and bandages, even to the manufacture of cartridges, have been the work of woman. While she mentally formed letters of encouragement to brother, father, husband, or sweetheart on the battlefield, her. hands were busily employed In making the appurtenances of war which would spell their country's suc cess. Every home throughout the empire, humble or grand, representing princess to maid, was a beehive of woman's Industry. Those not engaged In this work were ad ministering to the wounded and dying friend and foe alike In the hospitals. Now that the Japanese woman has played so conspicuous a part In the war, which has brought her Into International limelight, she has avenged the critics of her ancestors and her sisters of today. The stranger In Japan becomes momen tarily Impressed with' the smiling faoes of the Japanese women he meets on the streets or in the country places. He hos tlly concludes from her almost childlike smile an Infant Intellect or an undevel oped character. 8he Is Intensely gentle and modest. There are no striking man nerisms to proclaim to the stranger what she really Is. Not knowing her, they fall to read behind the pretty smile the strength of character and beauty of soul. The stern realities of war have brought out In strong relief the real qualities of our Japanes women., While her education has expressly fitted her for a true and helpful wife and an affectionate mother, the war has proved that this education, limited as It would seem to the minds of many, has not unfit ted her for the broader and nobler duties Imposed upon her by war. The war will necessarily work a social and industrial revolution for our women. Different from many countries, the women left dependent as a consequence' of war will be amply provided- for. Besides, they will be paid the profoundest respect by their people and by their community, and the government will always consider Itself their debtor. The keynote of a Japanese woman's am bition Is "to become the wife of a great man and the mother of an illustrious son." For this end she will sacrifice everything, even her own life. The effect of the war will not be to lose a particle of this, but It will tend to strengthen It. The widow's Interest will be centered In her sons to ed ucate them to take their father's place both In the home and In service to thulr country, thus to keep up the family name and honor. But It Is only natural that a large num ber of ' young women left without parent, brother or sister will seek a new Interest In life through the many avenues of Indus trlal'occupatlon. It la not because of her Inability to auo ceed that th Japanese woman has not thus far followed her western sister's example A Skin of Baauty l m Joy Forevof. T.

IL'IT.KSFUS, 17 Erud &m Strwt In Tui r. : . :::Vc: ' ' ' ' "l llll to enter the Industrial fields . firmly rooted tradition In Japan has not so far encouraged it. But It will be but natural that many of these young women will turn to the occupations yet hardly touched by women, such as teaching, nursing and evon the professions. Heretofore woman In Japan was looked upon as a meek and mild -creature , with little moral stamina. Now that her moral fiber has been strengthened by her recent experiences, she will naturally turn to those avenues of activities where her new sense of Independence and dependence will doubt less assert Itself. While the thousands of widows, mothers and sisters will be cared for as those de pendent for a livelihood always have been by the community, friends, or relatives, with the additional small pension afforded by the government, that Inherent pride of the Japanese woman will repel the thought of accepting this form of assistance. Rather she will wish to use her newly developed powers for gaining an Independent liveli hood In the many channels of commerce that will be opened for her. Her entry Into the new fields of Industry, I believe, will put an entirely new complex Ion on the sure and higher progress of the extent. I think the new woman of Japan will say: "I will retain the guardianship of my home. I will retain the same Interest and devotion to my family, but as a member of society I will broaden my own education and extend my field of usefulness." Forecast of Fall Styles. The first hints of fall styles are about. early as It Is. There Is nothing definite as yet, everything. Instead, seeming In the transition period, waiting for some radical change to develop. In these first hints (which are every where In the shops) only the conservative things have come out, and those are tenta tive. But, for all that, there are definite j lime cnangca, win ui cuiur ana line, mac mark the styles as different, even though the big changes haven't been determined UDon. The tailor-made suits and they're the first things that a woman gets In the early fall are more severely tailored in style than the elaborate, Individual styles we've been seeing so long that we've almost for gotten the charm of the long, simple lines. But Paris declared for the severely tailored coats and skirts to go with them of linen this summer, and the earliest fall suits of cloth are nothlnv more than reproductions of some of the most stunning of the late linen models the ones that wouldn't do upt Tight-fitting coats plain as a plpestem are exquisitely shaped ("built," the French makers say) to the most graceful lines and cut to sweep out from the waist line Into a long-skirted effect that has all the Idea and suggestion of fullness, yet Is nothing more than "easy." They're only tight-fitting In effect, most of them fitting with an easy grace that is impossible with coats that depend upon being buttoned up for their set." Instead of the stratghter-llned box coats of covert cloth these fitted coats are prom ised. Plaited skirts are about done with those kilted skirts which were made up In every sort of practical and Impractical stuff. Gored skirts are still In, but with the longer, severer types of coats the favorite skirts are either nine-gore or circular, made up In a hundred ways that disguise them for the models they are and permit all sorts of distinctive little touches to be used. ; Perhaps the prettiest of these new skirts --It's a digression, not a coat suit at all Is of a material that belongs to the voile family, and Is made with every other gore accordion plaited, but from the hips only. The gores between ate perfectly plain, and the plain tops to the plaited gores make a little hip-yoke effect As you walk the skirt sways and flutters out from the plaited goref. It's a very graceful model and long, of course. Back to coat suits again. There's a lot of difference of opinion as to the coming moat popular length of coat. Everybody thought that long coats were over and dons with, yet some of the prettiest fall models f.ii..,-.. .-. : .... ' -;:-.. i, shown have long coats, but fitted. Some of the best tailors, on the other hand, are making everything btp length what they call a "long hip length!" There's as much diversity of opinion about colors, except for those three points on which almost everybody seems to agree; black, which has been out for a couple of years, and which began to come in in late spring, will probably be one of the season's colors, especially in broadcloth; brown Is "dead," and checks even the Invisible checks are giving way to plain cloths and to Invisible stripes and broken invisible plaids. Beyond these three statements, there are the most conflicting rumors. One tailor as serts that It's to be a gay season, even for the plainest of morning suits claims that red and blue and green, slrong, deep shades of them, will be worn more than the duller colors. Another declares that everything quiet and unobtrusive will be worn as the foundation, given a touch of piquancy by velvet collars and cuffs of a contrasting color, or a brighter shade of the color of the suit. And a third Indications point to his being'' nearer right than any of them says that the smooth-finished, tightly twisted suitings will be best of all for the simpler suits, that homespuns and broadcloths and a host of materials that range in character be tween the two will be used for them, and that everything will be made up simply,, and left practically untrlmmed. If he Is right, and It looks as though he were. It Is a natural evolution from the elaborate suits we've been wearing for three years now. And, to tell the truth, most of us are a little tired of the almost fussy styles of walking suits that It seemed Impossible to get away from. Shirt waists of heavy linen will be worn with these suits all winter, In place of the lingerie blouses, which are so evidently not the character of these severer .styles. Following tn the wake of cashmere, which was surprisingly popular last winter sur prising because It had been out so long henrletta promises to be high In favor for dresses and shirt waist suits and a hundred and one uses. The shaggy stuffs, which went out with a bang a year, ago, seems likely to stay out Indefinitely, although it's a long way too early to prophesy about so definite a winter material. Wo ma a Saves a Horse. Whle a crowd stood by and applauded her. Miss Alice Dudley, a nurse at St. Luke's hosptal. appl ed flrst-ald-to-the-ln-jured methods to a horse that had been overcome by the heat In West One Hun dred and Twenty-first street during the recent hot spell In New York. Miss Dudley was hurrying to the hos pital when she saw that a horse attached to a heavy delivery wagon in front of lOu West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street was on the verge of collapse from the heat. Ordering the driver, who had not noticed the condition of the horse, to un harness htm,, she sent a man for all. the Ice hs could buy and for a bottle of whisky. Before the man returned with the les the horse dropped to the pavement.

As soon as the man returned with the Ice, which had been- broken Into small pieces, she rolled up ..her sleeves. Taking a blanket from the driver's seat, she wrapped it around the Ice and fastened It securely l.n place. Then' she -moved up to the horse's head and poured the whisky down his throat. ... By the time the veterinary surgeon who had been summoned arrived, the horse had almost recovered.' So surprised was he at the skillful manner in which Miss Dud ley had treated the horse that he asked her how she knew what to do. "Why, that was nothing." she said, "I treat many heat cases at St. Luke's hos pital, and I knew it was necessary to draw the blood as far as possible from the head." , When Miss Dudley started on her way to the hospital the men cheered her and several women who had blushed furiously at first were heard to say: "My! Wasn't she brave to do that?" Women Play Polo. A novel polo match. In which -the players were women, has been decided at Itanelagh, when the "Whites," represented by ,Mlss N. Barrow, Mrs. Bamfleld, and Miss Ark wrlght, defeated the "Rainbows," repre sented by Mrs. Hume Spry, Miss K. S. Toung and Miss Webley by eight goals to nothing, says a London cablegram. London never previously had seen a gome between players of the opposite sex. and the match referred to caused quite a flutter of excitement In society circles, where rumors were current that women were to be catered for at the leading polo clubs, and a woman's association was on the point of being formed there. However, It Is evident that before the women will ba able to play polo the prejudice against riding astride will have to be broken down. As an amusing novelty the match was a success, but as a polo entertainment It was slow. An obstacle to anything Ilka effective hitting was the side saddle posture, the . whole essence of the gams being ability to seize tho opportune moment for an affec tive coup. The Imminent danger of over balancing on the near side naturally ham pered the striking of the boll. The specta tors who witnessed the game were more Impressed by the humor of the situation than the seriousness of ths encounter. The seriousness was all on tha side of the players, whose firmly compressed lips and desperate efforts to make the ponies follow the ball spoke mors plainly than words of their keenness In winning ths game. "What handicapped ths players mors than anything," said Dr. Hastings, one of the Ranelagh polo managers, "was their Inability to control the ponies with knees and heel as the men do. There will not be any more women's games at Ranelagh this season, and I should say It will bo a long time before such matches find a place In tha club fixture lists In England." Over Stiver Brl4se. At Roumanian weddings It Is ths custom at the wedding feast for tha groom to receive his ride over a bridge of silver.
