that the mikado and those of his court
dress in real life just as represented on the
stage. OF course such is not the case
That style Of dress at court is no longer IN
vogue. Tie emperor, having established
his court on the same plan and principle
! as the courts of Europe, has also adopted
European dress. Hence, instead OF the flow
ing robes and sashes gorgeous IN many
colors which some believe l wore, was at
tired in an ordinary Prince Albert or
/ frock coat-in fact, / was dressed just as
any American gentleman would dress at
an afternoon function. The mikado, too.
was similarly attired, looking very hand
some indeed in his well fitting coat. Once
adopted at court, European clothes became
the fashion among the upper classes
throughout the land. Today nearly all the
japanese of the upper class are to be seen
in the streets of Tokyo wearing the regu-
lation European attire.
The Audience Hall.
How was the audience hall in which
you were presented TO the mikado furnish
ed,' is another query that has been put to
me. L can simply say that the audience
chamber, like most Japanese interiors, was
not furnished at all. There may have
been a cabinet, with polished sides and
glass front on the walls, and there may
have been a screen or two. There were
mats ana rugs on the floor, of course, but
in the European sense of what constitutes
a fully furnished room / could hardly say
that the room was furnished
lettering to my presence at the i'm
perial palace, 1 have even been asked how
l travelled from my residence TO the palace.
As the only rapid transit in the city of
Tokyo is the jinrikisha, or two wheeled
cart-some Americans have called it an
enlarged baby carriage-drawn by cody,
naturally this was the conveyance which
used that day. 1t was not a very long
ride, for the imperial palace is only short
distance from the business center of the
city, and a cody runs at the average
speed of five miles an hour. A jinrikisha
cody can travel 90 miles day, which is,
TO the cody, a big days work. There
is plenty of work for the cody right in
Tokyo, however, for it must be remember
cd that our capital city of l,400, 900 popu-
1ation embraces an area of 80 square miles,
this large area being accounted for in the
fact that our houses are seldom built up
more than one story, and nearly all are
surrounded by garden.

Butchers Tell Why Custom Common In

Paris Cannot Prevail Here.
From time TO time squihs have appeared
in the public prints lamentin9 the fact
that those who do light housekeeping. and
especially those women who arc occupied

prototypes, buy of the butchers in New
York small pieces Of game OF portions Of
uncooked fowls. In order to get at the
reason why such convenient custom
prevails among the workmcn Of Paris and

the subject. Why, bless you, said one
OF the old time and best known butchers
there, you must know that the social
conditions are go very different In Paris
from New York. In Paris there arr thou
