rect violation OF the knowledge easily obtana-
bic from the book and were thus made worse
than meaningless. 1t looked at times as if the
stage manager and producer had merely
SKINNED through Alice in Wonderland and
had never really read it.
For instance the three gardeners who were
painting the white roses red wore the cards
which designated them-the two. five and seven
of spades-not only in 'front.' but also on their
backs. Then. at the approach OF the queen
they threw themselves down on their faces. The
book says that this was so that the Queen
should not know who they were by seeing the
faces Of the cards. but what the costumer ana
the stage manager supposed they were doing it
for, with the faces Of the cards on their backs
well, is a puzzle This Is what the book says
about it: And who are these? said the Queen,
pointing to the three gardeners who were lying
round the rose tree; for you see, as they were
lying on their faces, and the pattern on their
backs was the same as the rest Of the pack she
could not tell whether they were gardeners, or
soldiers, or courtiers, or three Of her own chill
dren." CAlice in Wonderland" page 116) In
the book she then orders them to get up; in
the play she orders the soldiers to turn them
over apparently to allow the audience
no possible chance to miss the senselessness Of
the proceeding
Clearly Lewis Carroll meant that these char
acters were the actual cards, not human beings
representing cards in some mysterious way.

says Alice. Il needn't be afraid Of them" And
in Tenniels illustrations the King and Queen
look like the King and Queen Of Hearts on the
cards. In the play they might well have
been the King and Queen Of Chckeraboo, for all
that their costumes showed.

The slab is leaning and beginning to be COW

story of true-hearted gentleman. who. having

his childish sorrows were poured into her willing

IT seems odd to think Of stock exchange IN

nourishes there, nevertheless Japanese brokers
are fully as noisy and demonstrative as their

eigners. on the other hand enter shod in the
usual manner, and the proprietor. instead of
protesting hastens forward to offer them chairs.
He has observed that somehow or other the
anatomy of these people from Western lands
does not adapt itself readily to squatting cross
legged upon the floor. Everything In the shop
that could possibly attract them is dragged out
and submitted to their eyes The smiling and
bowling merchant knows we'll that these strang-
ers are no match for him at a bargain and he
seldom fails to obtain two or three times as
much for an article as he could have got from
one of his own countrymen. Rudeness or
neglect Of any kind Is never experienced In a
Jarancsc shop Courtesy Is carried to extraor-
binary lengths in everything. as. for example
in the selling of cloth by the yard Instead OF
cutting the required amount off the loose outside
end as is done here. the clerk unrons the whoie
piece and cuts from the inside end. that the
customer may get the freshest portion and not
that which may have become slightly shopworn
through exposure.
