The Smart Set in japan.

Ihe smart set in Japan does not
know its own mind The japanese are
arrogant enough to prefer their own
institutions to those of other countries;
at the same time, they wish to join the
great powers; and, to do this, they
must accept the fashions of the hated
west. For, in their hearts, the Jap
anese do hate the West, though they
are sharp enough to see that no nation
which does not wear trousers can be a
great power So, in Japan there are
two smart sets, the breeched and the
unbreeched; and, as there are many
japanese who practice several reli-
g1ons, so are there many who live two
lives. or 3
The official smart set, the set which
embraces ambassadors and cabinet
ministers and politicians and civil
servants generally, wear trousers in
pubic. Butsfollow home the immacu-
late field marshal or pompous courtier,
and, within five minutes, you will find
him minus breeches or knee breeches,
and comfortably enveloped in a XII
mono, probably squatting on the floor.
The Japanese who wear European
dress do not like to wear it; on the con-.
trary, they are as anxious to be rid of
1t as is a fat woman of her stays. =
Those who know the court only,
would imagine Japan to be far more
fofelgnlZed than 1t really is. The great
politicians, and a few other great no.
blemen, live in foreign houses, use for :
eign furniture, give dinner parties in
the foreign style. eat with knives and
forks, sit on chairs, and dress like
Christians in Sunday attire. Then, as
1 have said, the emperor requires that
European dress be worn at his garden
parties-of which he has at least two
every year-a cherry blossom party
and chrysanthemum party.-Douglas
Sladen, in October Smart Set.

she is tall and dark, with fine brown
eyes. She clothes her graceful figure
TO advantage. Her chief charm is her
accent; that has a trace of French.
her conversation is unusually brilliant.
Having made distinct impression
on the Newporters, Miss Emily Taylor
returned to her mother in Paris. Miss
Taylor is niece of the elder Mrs.
P1erre Loriilsrd She interested the
1ashlonable set, and Henry Walters, the
millionaire bachelor, gave a luncheon
Tor her aboard the Narada that some
thought significant She is a pretty
girl, with pink-and- white complexion,
pretty manner of speaking and much
vivacity. Her mother has reared her
according to French customs, and to
the unrestrained Newport girl Miss
Emily was revelation. She and Miss
Nathalie Schenck became fast friends.
But this was not Miss Taylor's first ap-
pearance in our society. The party
given In Sherry's by Mrs. Lorillard a
few months after the death of her hus-
band was ostensibly to mark the debut
of her niece, although in reality it was
to show her mourning was at an end.

Otero, the Spanish dancer, never is
happy unless doing something off the
stage to amuse5 the Parisians. Recent
ly she was elected from the Grand
opera house. Then, her losses at Monte
Carlo were supposed to have swept
away her fortune. Now the dancer has
had herself photographed clad so
scantily that even Paris is shocked.
These Otero photographs are selling
like hot cakes. She is shown with her
bosom flashing with gems. In fact. the
jewels serve as drapery. The dancer
wears a stomacher of brilliants, and
her bosom is crisis crossed with chains
and ropes of pearls. One diamond or
nament is ten inches square

A st. Paul woman said the other day:
do write about the street car bore,
which is a distinct variety of the spe-
cies and should be relegated to outer
darkness. He usually hangs on
strap and bends over his victim and
asks all sorts of questions of an init
mate nature in loud voice; for this
bore has a curiosity of great proper
lions, and his victim generally writhes
as the eyes of all the passengers are
fastened upon her.
Il struck one of them the other day
in a very crowded car. He was hang
ing on a strap and pinned me with his
eye, as he inquired where l had been,
where 1 was going, what my husband
did and where 1 lived, and everything
except what my income was, which 1
expected to have him do next.
Talk about the curiosity of women!
1t isn't circumstance to that of
men when they really want to know
things. This man l speak of talked in
a loud voice, and when the car stopped
at the bottom of the hill and had to
wait there he continued in just as
loud voice until every eye was riVet-
ed upon me and every ear was strain
ed to hear his remarks. My replies
We're hardly audible, but l assure you
1 felt murderously toward that man.
"Women sometimes talk just as loud
in cars, but not the women one knows,
and most of them have the saving
grace of disliking to air their private
affairs in public.
Another bore in cars is the man
who stares, who selects some woman
as a victim and fixes his eyes upon
her. Try as she will, she doesn't seem
to be able to get away from his gaze.
That is one reason women dislike the
seats that face each other in the cars;
1on W
girls who don't mind being stared at
will sit near the door.
There are so many things that
happen in street cars that are tests
of a persons good breeding. For in
stance, it is not at all necessary, be-
cause man you happen to know sits
with you, that he should pay your
fare; of course this depends a good
deal upon the way he does it whether
1T is Objectionable or not. If you
know him very slightly he should
never presume. A st. Paul girl who
has lived in Europe for years said to
me the other day that she would never
think of offering to pay the fare of a
friend over there; it is regarded as in
sulting. Then, again, if you take a
postage stamp from a friend and he
tries to give 1T to you, 1t simply makes
you uncomfortable. Tact governs
these things; the we'll bred person
knows when to accept a favor and
when not to.
But, as 1 said in the beginning, one
of the greatest trials to a woman is
the street-car bore who talks in a
loud voice and makes her conspicu-
Gus. He never seems to realize that
you are not delighted to meet him, but
he beams upon you and tells you that
you are stout or thin, or looking well
or poorly, and you wish lightning
would strike him. and yet you continue
to smile"

Poems Worth Reading
THE vEsTAL STAR.

The day has said good night, and gone to
sleep;
Each drowsy bird lies dreaming in his
nest
A sweet, transparent light low in the
West
Still fingers tenderly, as if to keep
A memory of the past alive. Stars creep
Timidly forth, and Venus with her
crest
OF diamond splendor hovers, loveliest,
AS vestal-guardian of the violet deep.
The star of love reigns also in my heart.
Amid the somber shadows of it's night
Pours the soft radiance of her holy
light
AS from a lamp hung in shrine apart;
And thou, o LONELINESS, its vestal art
To keep the flame forever pure and
bright!

Among other things, however, he did
say that he knew young woman who
will remain confirmed invalid all
her life as a result of the practice. A
writer in a London newspaper says
there is scarcely fashionable woman
who does not tight-lace. ITO such an
extent has the evil grown" he says,
that at a certain famous musicale in
London orders for gowns from wom-
en- whose waist measurements are
over twenty-five inches are delicately
but firmly declined.
I'VE do not care to risk our. reputa-
ton by gowning any but the most
fashionable women" explained the
principal recently, 'and no woman
frock designed for one who has culti-
waited the short hip figure. So if a
customer comes to US wearink the old
fashioned style of corsets and does
not seem inclined to conform to newer
ideas she must go elsewhere for her
gowns.
I'VE have heaps of customers whose
measurements are three or four inches
smaller than they were last year, and
in almost every case this is due to the
tight lacing demanded to acquire the
new figure. Quite young girls are the
worst offenders. and I am quite sure
