Only woman of education and accomplish. ments could aspire to the ranks of the first- class courtesnor who waited on the parties of daimyo and literary mea. The licensed beatGE were somewhat like the present les-houren and machial combined, and it would be a grast mistake to suppose that these houses existed simply for the purposes of pradering to, the lower passions of humanity, na is the case at presast.
