THE Emperor of Japan is coming
into civilization with astonishing
speed. He is said to have announced
that he is willing to marry his son,

with us in French, assuring us that we

the empress had happy knack of i'm

she certainly did in the most gracious

OF dining with the station master.
The first popularity Of the Russian peo-
pie that interested me was the costume of
the peasant girls whom one saw in the
railway stations. In spite of the intense
cold they all wore cotton gowns, which
seemed so cut of keeping with the Sheep
skins with which they were partially COW
cred; but cotton and sheepskns are alike
about the cheapest materials procurable
in the country. We were much impressed
by the beauty of the sunset reflections
over the great vista Of snow all around
US, and by the wonderful after-glow such
as / had never seen in any other part of
the world.
Great was our excitement when our
train ran into the station Of the Russ
ian capital. On the platform we found the
British ambassador awaiting US with
warm welcome, and his own sledge, where
in we drove swiftly and noiselessly
through the streets to the British en-
bassy I know of nothing more exhiler-
ating than the first experience of sledge
driving in St. Petersburg, with the tinK-
ling bells and the handsome liveries Of
the coachmen shouting at each other az
they passed by.
At dinner that evening we had our
first experience of the "sagouska," a Gus
tom peculiar to Russia. On the way to
ante-chamber where you stop to par

described as a course preliminary to the
dinner itself, answering very much to the
ordinary hors d 'oeuVre, but served with

gentleman who takes you in to dinner
himself fetches what you fancy from the
buffet; l myself always preferred the
national caviar, which, served fresh in
its native country Is very different from
the caviar you get elsewhere in its i'm
ported form.
we ascertained that the first court ball
would take place in few days, and that
before then we should be received by
the empress in private audience.
