From my earliest recollection the Orient and the Oriental have exercised over me a profound attraction, I seemed to be finding, after long alienation, my own country and my own people, when I found Mr. Tanaka. Of cou we were like any man and woman in se, «ithe sense that he seemed to be making the advances; but that is a matter of surface conduct and has little to do * with the reality of the inner convictions. Since I have gone so far in confession—even farther jthan I wish—I shall add the exact truth, which is, that Mr inaka has done more for me relative to his means and his actual obligation than has any other person. Before knowing him, my life was thwarted and ughappy. It is |now fullfilling itself along its appointed channels and is contented, I have already answered in the affirmative the question jmy old friends often put: “Is your marriage a success?” And I shall take up the last condition usually made against intermarriage, the condition of hostile environment. While the actual environment of the Pacific coast tends to sep arate from her Japanese husband the American woman |without resources within herself, that same environment unites more closely to her Oriental mate the American ;woman of emancipated mind. The reason is quite simple. |The woman of the former type is dependent on a ready- made and superficial public opinion; the woman of the latter creates her own world. By creating her own world, she even affects the public opinion about her and finds in- creasingly the reflection of her own understanding of her- self and her life. The woman of the former class, whose enjoyments and ideas are those of conventional society, finds herself increasingly baffled, for society provides no place for her. But the successful intermarriage of her strovger sister tends to assure her own; and one inter- marriage of established happiness exerts an influence to- wards kindred unions. The relation of my husband and myself, to our environ ment is practically the same as that of any aspiring couple. | His Struggles are mainly those of any artist; mine, mainly thos¢f any woman who cares for self-improvement thru study We have a few solid friends and many charming acquaintances bota among Americans and Japanese. People from all over the world drop in to see us, Our social con- nections are chiefly thru Mr. Tanaka, for, before I knew tremely limited. Thru him, I have met persons of the highest culture, persons of distinction, and one or two kind hearts | worth in themselves all the learning on earth. | | Ihave never had any difficulty with our neighbors, with ‘our landlord, or with those with whom we do business, tho our neighbors, our landlord, and those with whom we do {most of our business are Americans. Is Convinced Marriage Between Japanese ‘and Americans Works Out Satisfactorily Therefore, it is impossible to convince me that inter-| marriage between the American and the Japanese may not! work out as satisfactorily as marriage between the Ameri- can and the American, or between the American and the European. Tho it looks slightly to the contra inter- marriage depends as fully on the contracting individuals. for) its outcome as does any marriage. I almost feel, in the ight of the high divorce rate among Americans, that, given # Jepanese man and an American, the Japanese is the safer} ‘matrimonial venture, if the ideal be permanent union; for the Japanese, as I understand him, has a more fundamental’ lconception of marriage and home-making than has the hotel-and-apartment-bred American of today. And let it not be supposed that my own case is the only | one I may advance as evidence along this line. As happy a family as it has ever been my lot to know is that of a Japa-| nese and a European woman here in this city. They have been married some 10 or 12 years, have four fine-looking, intelligent, healthy children, and their home is’ one it cheers you up to enter. An acquaintance of mine who lives in a neighboring state is an American woman married to a Japanese. He supports not merely herself and his children by her, but} her children by a former marriage. This marriage was jwith an American whose unkindness and neglect forced} her to obtain a divorce. Her present union has endured! about eight. years. I receive letters from her now and) again, and they invariably contain accounts of her hus- band’s thoughtfulness for her and the children. Indeed,| she has written me at length her opinion of intermarriage jand it coincides with my own. | Believes Japanese Can Be Assimilated if | Americans Will Only Permit It to Be Done | I believe that the Japanese can be assimilated if we permit them to be. We do wrong to make competitor of them. We should co-operate with them in commercial and educational matters. In art they have much to give or two we might find significant. And if we are intelligent, {social relationships will inevitably work themselves out harmoniously. As to the “color” of the Japanese, that is chiefly a superstition of the so-called “white” race, a jrace which contains within itself the dark-skinned Hindus jand many other brunette peoples. | | Anthropologists have abandoned the color classification of lraces as untenable and now base their clas: tion on jhair. 3y this clas: sation there are three main human jraces, the woolly-haired, the wavy- ed, the stiff-haired. |The woolly-haired race includes the negro; the wavy-haired, \the “white’ man, and is intermediate between the woolly- |haired and the stiff-haired, whieh last contains the Jap- Janese. Which race has survival value? Which is superior’ Scientists do not know. Most scientists agree that man’s} lancestor was the anthropoid ape. It would seem that the |highest race evolutionally would be that one farthest re- |moved from. the ape. On one point, the shape of the lface, the negro is closest to the ape. On three points, the hairiness of the body, the length of the arm, the promi- nence of the brow, the “white” race is closest to the ape. The farthest from the ape, according to this classification, is the stiff-haired race containing the Japanese. The au- thority for this information is that noted anthropologist, the explorer, Vilhjalmur Stefansson. Moreover, it has been suggested by eugenists and animal breeders that ‘from a physiological point of view a mixture of all races on the earth would produce the best offspring. The theory is that this mixture of races would obliterate social prejudice and war. | SYDNEY, Aug. ~Australians| LONDON, Aug. 29.—The home sec- are longing to have restrictions lifted | retary indicates that at a later date on candy, For a year importation | a committes will be appointed to con of chocolates has been under the ban) sider the employment of women on and the yearly cost of imported choe-| police duties, The women achieved lates had been $1,000,000, Native|some success while acting during goods don’t satisfy the natives, war times, | @ us; and in their racial ethics they also have a suggestion § No Sales Service —No Delivertes No Charge Accounts Same Same | Prices Prices at at All All Our Our Stores Stores STORES COMPANY inc. |Special Sale of Canning Supplies We are reluctant in calling attention to the fact that prices on factory canned fruits and vegetables of this year’s pack will be considerably higher than prices now pre- ling; but we feel that we must do so in order that you may see the full import- ance of putting up more fruit and vegetables than you have ever done before.
