Ab an example of the humble attitude atti-tude of the Japanese wlfo Mrs. Hugh Kraser relates this Incident: "A mid-dlo mid-dlo aged man on tho upper floor was Buffering terribly from heat and his little wlfo seemed greatly distressed about him. All the screens had been opened, but It was a breathless day and no breeze came to ring the littlo glass hells on tho hanging fern wreath on tho veranda. Tho man had laid bbIiIo almost all his garments and sat wllli his head In his hands groaning, while madame, kneeling on the mats : behind him, fanned his back and from tlr.io to time rubbed him down with a t blue towel, an expression of thq deepest deep-est tospect and sympathy on her face. Whon ho seemed a littlo better she buolcd herself with preparing tea, . 'which he drank eagerly, and, of I course, made himself frightfully hot J again, when she went back patiently I to her fanning and rubbing." |
