DR.. S. Kitasato, the famous japanese

of the University of Japan, was es-
corted to Mochizuki, the Japanese Club

introductions being made by the Consul
and Drs. MeEi and Uchida.
3 DR.. Kitasato met the. guests in an
easy affable manner, but as his foreign
residence has been chiefly in Germany,
he spoke very little English. Prof. XII
tasato is somewhat stout and carries |
himself with dignity. He has a jolly
expression and yet behind his smile |
turks the look of power.
Prof Hozumi is also a man with an |
attractive appearance, and as he spoke |
English had something of an advantage |
over his travelling companion.
Punch, lemonade and dainty salads
