It is now thirty-five years ago since Prince Fushimi, who, on account of his gallant exploits during the Russo-japanese war, earned for himself the title of the Japanese "Bobs," married Princess Toshiko, the daughter of the head of the great Imperial family of Japan known as the Arisugawa. A woman of very enlightened and advanced views, the Princess, when she attended the Coronation of King George, with her husband, who came here to represent the Japanese Emperor and Empress, by her charm and manner and brilliant conversation, made herself extremely popular. She dressed in the latest fashions of the Western world, and was an extremely picturesque figure. The Princess has one son, Prince Hiroyasu, who, like his father, has performed great deeds for his country, and was wounded on the deck of Admiral Togo's flagship, at the Battle of the Yellow Sea, in 1904- The Princess is passionately devoted to her son, who, with his father, has done all he could to further her schemes for the benefit of her countrywomen.
