BY invitation we went to the hotel one
evening 10 dine with this interesting fam
lily. The invitation was extended after
this manner. IN elegant tray holding
n box OF choice CONNECTIONS, fan Of eS-
quisIte Workmanship, and a ceremonial
folded paper blank, but tied with daintI-
est red and white silk cord. They re
ceiYed Us IA .-ht, airy apartments, where
the paper screens and doors were all re-
moved, making six rooms in ne, neatly
matted and piled with soft cushions and
couches, besides a large table and arm
chairs, this last being an effort to con
form to foreign customs.
We, in turn, tried to conform to theirs,
and rested upon the cushions while being
served with delicate tea by obsequious
servants, on delicately braided straw
walters from tiny cups of choicest ware,
and watched our dinner in course of prep
aration. This was cooked before our eyes
on little "hibochi," n brazen pot that
contains charcoal and Il cooking appara-
tUs. which soon supplied US with the
choicest of mackerel, a leg of venison,
sweet potatoes and eggs. Spirited upon
the board was also a roast duck The
long, low table was profusely decorated
with Japau's choicest flowers, and huge
pyramids of half-peeled oranges and
sponge cake whetted the appetite. For
dessert We were served with tray of per-
simmons and basket of pears, sweet
potato cUsJard and lemon jelly. 1t is GER
tain that we partook of all with never-to-
be-forgUtten enjoyment, and much pleas
ant conversation ersued of the great
changes in the nation and its promising
