holding it in his mind for twelve years,
longing for the moment to arrive when
he could strip the editorial harness off
his Pegasus and let him soar, and at last
it came, in Japan, and in very few
months the great poem stood on paper
perfected.
1t is not probable that he went to
Japan with any idea of writing this
poem there. Probably he went to col
lect local color in the Land of the Rising
Sun hitherto unexpected by Anglo
Saxon poets, expecting to give the world
japanese sister poem to 1.-The Light of
Asia" instead Of this great Light of
the World" But the poetic impulse
was too strong for him, and once in
Japan, enjoying the meditative ease of
that lotus land, he could but sing his
Light of the World"
What was it like, this Japanese home
in which the great poem was born? The
ideal of japanese home adapted to the
sine qua mons of English life-what |
have called elsewhere "a sort of modus
vivendi between Europe and Asia"
Hwas a veritable japanese house-a
frame with sliding shutters instead of
walls. But these shutters (shojD were
made of wood and glass, instead of paper,
outside, though inside all the rooms were
divided from each other simply by slid
ing paper panels.
The house is tenanted usually by

All gent!eness and serenity was the
girlaood of the daughter of Mr.. William
A. Ogden Hegeman. She went to her
lessons, she studied her music and sew
eral languages, and she was constant in
her attendance at the st. Bartholomew
church, which indeed she is still, being
a devout and consistent member. Her
disposition was modest and retiring, and
those who know her best assert that her
attractive face, gentle and sympathetic
manner, her profound knowledge of
literature, and her underlying, sprightly
wit would have made her brilliant
leader in society if she had not preferred
to almost sink her identity into that of
her popular and gifted husband, Mr.,
Chauncey NJ. Depew.
Since her marriage Mrs. Depew has
lived q quiet, uneventful and peaceful
life, being her husbands good right
hand, helping him in so many ways that
if she should be taken out of his life he
would never find another person to take
her place. Her mother, gentle, kindly
woman of more than ordinary capacity,
trained her daughter to find her purest,
truest happiness in her home life, and
to make that home haven of rest and
comfort to her husband and her only
child, bright boy of 10. M. A. j.

That January day when we first re-
newed our acquaintance in Japan it had
the blue and white porcelain pot, with
dwarf double blossomed plum tree flow
ering in it-as every japanese house,
however humble, has at New Years
tide. Sir Edwin pushed aside another
panel and took me into his bedroom-an
utterly japanese room except for the
camp wash hand stand in one cor
ner, and the blazer, court sword and
trousers hanging from rack. 1t
contained nothing else except two of
the little japanese chests of drawers
made in white wood bound with black
iron work, and a futon bed-one quilt,

scraper Japanese pillows for the head to
rest on which had emanated Light of

three, with which the Japanese not only
carpet their housekeeping them az

japanese pay such extravagant prices,

view of the real Fuji lifting peerless,
snow cloaked cone 10000 feet up into
the clouds more than fifty miles away,
its trained or tortured fir trees and its
stone votive-lanterns-ls Here,
except when he was writing the mag
nificent passage in which he compares
Mary Magdalene with the sleeping, snow
crowned volcano "a passage written

Edwin walked when he was thinking

received the "best intellects' in Toxic,
japanese or western, and here he used
to organize delightful kite flying parties.

delivered of one of his greatest poems.
