Japanese Pastimes.

In Japan to get up parties to behold
the freshly fallen snow or the cherry
blossoms or the maple trees in their
autumnal glory or to go to the flower
shows is as de rigueur as are our din

Mushroom hunting is a fashionable
pastime, while in the house harp play
ing, verse writing, embroidering and
tea drinking are the most absorbing
occupations. The most pretentious en-
tertainment is the tea ceremony. 1t is
very formal. and there is much elab-
crate performance connected with it
difficult for foreigner to comprehend.
