In BEAUTIFUL JAPAN,
Why is it Called ''Cherry Blossom Land? y

TT IS not remarkable that the jap
anese art possesses most peculiar
II and dainty loneliness, when we con-
slider that the nature of their
country is of the most picturesque
type. Even the trees and shrubs seem
to delight in taking on the most un-
usual shapes, and flowers flourish in
luxurious profusion. The cherry tree
is very abundant throughout the land,
and in the early spring, before the first
shoot OF green appears, the whole tree
becomes covered with the most ex-
quisite mantle of delicate pink bios
SONS ranging in tint from slight blush
to deep red, and the effect is most
delightful, the odor of the flowers
being very fragrant. For this reason
travellers seeing Japan in the spring
time have called the country Cherry
Blossom Land" But the flowers soon
fade away, and then the tree puts out
leaves, and settles down to the serious
business of bearing crop of fruit.
Not only in Japan, but throughout
the world, is youth the season Of
beauty. Our young girls in the fresh
