Accepting as partly that woman every-wher- e jtrue theis statement what man has made her, we might say that this statement is more Hrue of the Japanese women than of any other. Of course it required sands and thousands of years to make her; but the period of which I am Speaking beheld the work completed i and perfected. Before this ethical A creation, criticism should hold its ; breath; for there is here no sihgle fault save the fault of a moral charm unsuited to any world of selfishness land struggle. It is the moral artist that now commands our praise, the : realizer of an ideal beyond Occidental reach. How frequently has it been as- -' serted that as a moral being, the Japanese woman does not seem to belong to the same race as the Japanese man! Considering that heredity is limited by sex, there is reason in the assertion: .the Japanese woman is an ethically different being from the Japanese man. Perhaps no such type of woman will appear again in this world for a hundred thousand years: the conditions of and be comprehended her, can valued. Her success in life was made to de-- . pend on her power to win affection by gentleness, obedience, kindliness; not the affection merely of a husband, but of and sister-in-laparents, and brother-in-lain short of all the members of a strange household. Thus to succeed required angelic goodness and patience; and the Japanese woman realized at least the ideal of a Buddhist angel. A being working only for others, thinking only for others, happy only in making pleasure for others, a being incapable of unkindness, incapable of selfishness, incapable of acting contrary to her own inherited sense of right, and in spite of this softness and gentleness ready at any moment to lay down her life, to sacrifice everything at the call of duty: such was the character of the Jajanese woman. M03t strange may seem the combinaof gentleness tion, in this child-souand force, tenderness and courage, yet the explanation is not far to seek. ; , l, , on which the species became extinct, in cur ( :ccident, before the modern languages were born. Transplanted successfully it cannot be: under a foreign sun its forms revert to something altogether different, its colors fade, its perfume passes away. The Japanese woman can be known only in her own country, the Japanese woman as pre Stronger within her than wifely affection, stronger than any womanly emotion, was the moral conviction born of her great faith. This religious quality of character can .be found among ourselves' only within the shadow of cloisters, where it is cultivated at the expense of all else; and the Japanese woman has been therefore compared to a Sister of Charity. But she had to be very much more than a Sister of and wife and Charity, daughter-in-lamother, and to fulfil without reproach the multiform duties of her triple part. Rather might she be compared to the Greek type of noble woman, to Antigone, to Alcestis. With the Japanese woman, as formed by the ancient training, each act of life was an act of faith: her existence was a religion, her home a temple, her every word and thought ordered by the law of the .. . This, wondercult of the dead. ful type is not extinct, though surely doomed to disappear. A human creature so shaped for the service of gods and men that every beat of her heart is duty, that every drop of red blood is moral feeling, were not less out of place in the future world of competitive selfishness, than an angel in hell.

Only a so-- . ciety under extraordinary regulation and regimentation, a society in which was repressed, and all self sacrifice made a universal obligation, a society in which personality was clipped like a hedge, permitted to .bud and bloom from within, never from without in short, only a society founded upon ancestor worship, could have produced it. It has no more in common with the humanity of this twentieth cenlury of ours, perhaps very much less, than has the life depicted upon old Greek vases.
