MATRIMONY IN JAPAN.
"I am a beautiful woman. My abundant undulating hair envelopes m©- as a cloud. Supple as willow is my waist. Soft and brilliant is my visage as the satin of the flowers. I am endowed with •wealth sufficient to saunter through life hand in hand with my beloved. Were I to meet a gracious lord, kindly, intelligent, well educated, and of good taste, I would unite myself with him for life, and later share with him the pleasure of being laid to rest eternal in a tomb of pink marble;" — Advertisement in Nippon, Tokio.
