watch two acquaintance saluting in the
streets Of japanese town. As they
come in sight Of each other they slack
en- their pace and approach with down
cast eyes and averted faces, as if neither

Then they bow low. so as to bring the
face on level with the knees, ON which
the palms of the hands are pressed
A succession of Kissing sounds is next
made by drawing in the breath between
the closed teeth, interspersed with Sc
ries of complimentary phrases uttered
with great volubility in sort of under
toned falsetto, each trying to Guido his
friend in rapidity and extravaganza of
Language, while the palms are diligent-
~ rubbed against each other.
At last the climax is reached. and
each endeavors to give the precedence
to the other. For some moments. per-
haps for full minute, the polite con.
test continues. Then the ceremony abb
ruptly ends. as if the difficulty were ca
pable of none but brusque solution,
and the two pass on hurriedly, with O
look of extreme relief.
