Japan Is Topic For Meeting of Soroptimists Ashland-Changing customs in Japan were described by Mrs. Richard Doi when she spoke for a noon luncheon meeting of Soroptimist club. Her embroidered apricot silk kimono and silver obi and sandals added a colorful touch to Mrs. Doi's interesting talk.

The speaker demonstrated some of the time-honored Japanese usages and gestures as she explained their signifi cance. According to Mrs. Doi, aca demic standards for girls have been raised and since the six- year Allied occupation the equality of sexes has been gen erally accepted.
