Direct Cause of the Increase of Di-
vorces In Japan.
Thero is no such thing as the
mother-in-law joke in Japan. Of
all the serious things that the Em-
peror's subjects take with their
characteristic seriousness the mo-
ther-in-law is perhaps one of the
weightiest.
The relation between her and di-
vorce statistics in the island em-
pire recently published by imperial
commissioners shows how inept
would be a joke about ono's wife's
mother in Tokio. According to these
statistics 65,510 decrees of divorce
were granted by the courts last
year. In Iwate province the propor-
tion of divorces to marriages for
the year was 26.30 per cent., the
h;ghost percentage in ail the is-
lands.
The commissioners themselves in
n commentary upon the increase of
divorces in Japan give it as their
opinion that the rapid increase is
due directly to -the growing fre-
quency of clashes between wives
and their mothers-in-law. With
the introduction of an educative
system for girls and the softening
of the stringent social bonds that
us -d to keep women in a place of
obscurity has come the manifesta-
tion of a new and rebellious spirit
among the women.
Since everything in Japan is the
reverse of conditions in Occidental
countries it is not to be wondered
at that if there is any pressure from
the fabled hard hand of the mother-
in-law it falls upon the Japanese
wife and not the husband. This
