JIPANESE INERICAN RAISN U. 8, Coowing Gam Habit Not Yo T Up Tekio, Feb. 10 (UP)—Chicago, chewing gum and California raising have galned a firm foothold in Ja- pan. A United Press correspondent who of the same variety supposed to be favered by all American telephone operators and stenographers, and boxed California raisins, in practi- cally every remote village. Gay packages of the American products were displayed in practically every remote fishing village, even in the tiny hamiets far off the rallways and moter reads. Japanese, a8 & whole, have net taken up the chewing gum habit but seem increasingly inclined to do so in line with the genersl tendency to adopt American customs. Raising this year proved a popular New Year confection. American tellet products such as teoth paste, talcum powder and soaps were much less in evidence in the small towns this New Year, probably because of the increas- ing number of satisfactory Japan. ese brands on the market. Prac. tieally all manufactured producta particularly in the notions and va. riety lines were Japanese made, altheugh imported articlegy might be obtained in larger shops in the amall eitles. The whole of the Isu peninsula— famoys for its hot springs resorts— has undergone a great development during the past year and many new bridges and motor roads have been opened. Foreign style hotels are operating In a number of the resort towns, with especially good accom- modations in Atami and Funabara. NAHES ON NEES NEW PARIS WHINS But Woe Unto Man Who Be comes Too Carions Paris, Feb. 10 (UP)—1If you want to know something of a Parisian ‘woman, or even her name, read her knees. For those Parisians who pride themselves upon keeping up with the whims and freaks of fashion are wearing their names on thelr knees, “Titl" or “Fifi", as the name may be, is embroldered in red or blue just below the hem on flesh- colored stockings and, with askirts a8 short as they are, are thus vis- ible to the naked eye. There is no reason to stop at names, for anything can be tattooed on the flesh-colored stockings. En- twined hearts may be a warning signal as flashed from the knees that the wearer is engaged, or they may merely hint at her warmth of. heart. % Some knees carry messages, pret. Uly turned little phrases for pret- tily turned little knees, such as “Honn! soit qui maly pense’ but none has yet reached the daring of that American girl's legendary gar- ter which bore the judgment, “If you can read this you are too darned close.” The cold and wet winter has brought out featherweight woolen stockings which are worn under slik. stockings and are warm al- theugh so thin that they,can be wern without the eye detecting the extra layer. ‘Winter sports gloves are popular, replacing leather gloves during cold weather. They are knitted in bright colors and have gauntlets which pull up over the sleeves. The scarf must be of the same material and colors and even though nude of smow, Paris looks as bright as the Engadine. Army trench coats are having & run of favor, although they are far from beautiful in line. They look ex- actly like the grey trenchcoats worn by American officers during the war, faded by several washings and the rain. In a rainy winter such as Paris is experiencing, they fit an emergency even though they do not add much to the general beauty of the boulevards. .
