And Those Who Would Share it From Our Own Correspondent, Tokio, July 7.
Miss Kuni Kasahara, a '"'hello'' girl of Tokio, has ° just realized that riches are not an unmixed blessing. An uncle of hers died a week ago and bequeathed all his savings, amounting to Y. 120,000 in current coin of the realm to her, and from an over-worked and_ill-paid_ telephone lassie receiving a stipend of Y.40 a month, Miss Kasa-hara awoke one fine morning to find herself rich beyond her dreams.
Fortune has also favoured Miss Kasahara with 4 jocks, and with riches added to beauty, her troubles really began. Every day she gets piles of letters from lovelorn swains, parents with marriageable sons, go-betweens and all that sort of ilk imploring the 19 year old telephone girl to consider the merits of the particular candidate they propose to lead her to the marriage shrine and crown her joys of riches and beauty with that of a happy marriage. So far, Miss Kasahara has taken no notice of these missives, but when callers began to house in which she was living-an: arrive at the modest boarding to bring with them presents ranging from live gold fish to edible mountain pines, then she decided it was time to. seek refuge in a hotel where entrance to outsiders would not be as easy as in a down-town boarding house. Miss Kasahara has told Japan, through the press, that she does not mean to give Dan Cupid any opportunity to get busy,. at least, not for a time. She is just now planning to go' to America, which, she says, had been one of her fairy castles before the windfall enriched her, and is too busy in plans for her trip to think of love or anything else.
