Take, for instance, the matter of a woman's carrying her baby behind instead of in front. That Is (tone because girls begin carrying bab es when so very young that it beeomes eecond nature not to remember the baby at all, but to go on doing what- ever one is doing without regard- ing the baby; in other words, by the new patent way olf carrying a baby a. woman can work as vrell as mind the child -which she does not mind. In fact, unless it is her first, the mother does not generally carry the baby; the last baby, if it is a girl and weaned, carries it. Lit- tle .Tapanese Wats are weaned un- conscionably late, and begin their duties as women almost as soon as they are weaned. The First Duty of Woman In the Japanese proverb, is obe- dience; the first duty of a Japanese woman le practice is, when elle looks about four years old, to carry the next baby in an boort (shawl) on her back. The baby is fastened so securely that its little mothering sister can play ball or shuttlecock in splto of the pick -a -back. The baby does not cry or laugh -Japanese babies are very solemn -but nods its head and runs at the nose. If there is no youager sister to carry succeeding babies as the years advance, the girl will do her courting and her housework with the pick -a -back en- cumbrance. The Japanese woman does not blacken her teeth under any mis- taken idea thot it makes her at- tractive; she does It to make her- self unattractive. Her husband is supposoa to know her value; if he doesn't he divorces her.
