"Fair Japan" On the Pike.

While speaking of It'd Pike the writer
takes particular pleasure in calling to
the attention of all tho5e contemplating
a visit to the Worlds Vair the c0nces-
sion known as "Fair bapan.' 1t was
here that the writer waaentcrtained by
real Geisha Girls fronti the Orient, il
class probably never befRre represented
in America. In the beau iful little jap
,anese theatre the GiesLH Firls chanted
the songs of the far aAA Orient, and
executed tho gracefubWa GEES 80 famed
in song and story.
The entrance to "FTd1 Apan" prOba-
bly, is the most impghR and pictur-
esQue building in tllsF htire Worlds
Fair grounds. 1t ia q replica, complete
in every detail, of the famous entrance
to the Temple Of Nlkko, probably one
Of the most revered places Of worship
in oil Japan. just beyond the Nikko
Gate is a typical street in Toxic. with
booths, baZaars, and Japanese forms of
amusement, such as would he found in
any typical Japanese city OF the better
class. Crossing q gently-sloped bridgg
of Japanese design one enters the theas
ter where the Geisha, the Japanese feE
GERS and other entertainers hold FORM.
To the left of the theater is the Fla
garden, a replica in miniature of hhe
Imperial Gardens i'm T~okioawith k,As-
cades, lago0ns, dwarf shruGsery End
other artistic features. Located ifAthe
garden is q modern tea house in Which
fifteen of the beauties of the m0stE%s Ssh
ionable tea houses in Toxic, Yoksk 9lma
and other we'll known JapanesakWties
serve the public with light eMFesh-
| ments of all kinds. Passing tea
house one encounters the Gate ay of
the Nio-MOn, or the Temple of til Two
Kings, a rar specimen of ia anese
architecture of the years gone b% with
engrayings which prove it to III more
than six hundred years of age The
Nio-MOn was disnantled i'm JapaW and
after being shipped to America, was re-
constructed along the original lines
The Nio-Mon was erected in the Prov
ince of Yheako by Lord Satake, of the
Noble Satake family, for the peaceful
repose Of the departed soul of his hon
ored father. The Guardian Angels
the two kings, i'm other wOrds-whC
guard the gates of the Mormon art
Brahma and 1ndra, carved from one
massive piece of wood in the crude but
still artistic method in vogue in tn
centuries gone by.
Taken all in all, and in view of thu
fact that just at present everything of
Jananesque nature is more or less in tn,
public eye. "Fair Japan" is all that it
name implies, and is one of those place
along the Pike well worthy of II visi
from the pleasure seekers who will
flock to st. Louis this summer.
