PREFERENCE OF JAPANESE GIRLS
There are schools for brides in some Japanese cities, and when a veto was taken recently, 90 per cent, of the pupils voted for stout husbands. Very few wore in favour of the love match, and stated that they would prefer _ a matrimonial broker to arrange their marriage. They declared that girls should not associate with their prospective husbands before marriage. All desired that their husbands should take them to the films at least three times a month. - The majority of these future brides stated that they would like two or three children; tho rest wanted from five to twelve. Most of the young women said that after marriage they would prefer to live with the husband’s parents. The question of the mother-in-law does not evidently trouble the Japanese.
