a close connection between money and
marriage by leading the lessons of the
existing financial depression in Japan.
The passing of easy money-making
ha* caused a msh to the Japanese
mat rimoi al agencies and women are
leading in the rush. In prosperous
times th * agency customers are men
looking for wives, hut now, say mat
rimonial managers, the old order is
reversed. In view of the approaching
“hate, times'* women are apparently
seekieg safety in the protection of
! husbands.
One result of the feminine advances
is a marked increase in marriages.

"It is the only way to meet the
crisis, *’ said one of the women leaders
in the movement. “There is much work
that we can do and the work has to be
done. Male applicants for work are
scarce and want too much money.”
The harvest "Waacs” are working
in the harvest fields by the score,
