from restraint had the good effect of inducing
a slight drowsiness. He would not admit 1t, but
Hooper was convinced that he had not slept IN
the preceding four days at least. That afternoon
he Welded sufficiently to the demands OF outraged
nature to sink into heavy sleep, though we found

Thinking that the best thing possible had hap

floor attendant ask Grier to await his (Hoopers)
return if he woke up and rang. Then, fast as a
hanson could carry him, he hurried to Sandllands
House. there to learn that the Hon. Nora Cazenove
had driven to the Griers, with laudable intent to
take Mrs Grier and Karl to birmingham.
Hooper ascertained that Miss Cazenove would
return home about halfpast six to dress for dinner
and the opera. Racing back to the hotel Hooper
found Karl still asleep. At six-thrtyfve P. NJ. he
coolly telephoned to Miss Nora, and just coolly
read her my letter of introduction over the Wire

to me, in the exchange of further condolences.

known to her the dangerous atmosphere in which

Karl was seemingly sunk in the sleep OF sheer

returning to the hotel in time to arouse Karl for
a late meal and then see him safely home, or even
detain him for the night after explaining matters
to his father and mother. Indeed, things were
going so well that he buoyed up with
hope He dressed rapidly, reached Covent Garden,
and saw woman whom he took to be Nora Cazenove

dav in autumn, when at his COM
mand brilliant company of foreign diPlo
mats and ministers of state assembled IN
the enchanting environments to enjoy the hos
pitality of their imperial host. 1t was a
chrvsanthemum f&te, and ALL including the
Emperor himself, had assembled to do hom-
age to the royal flower of Japan,
Meeting in one of the beautiful rooms of the
palace the procession of dignitaries formed
and took its way toward the rendezvous
most picturesque and striking effect was pro-
duced by the gay dresses of the European
women the brilliantly uniformed attaches
the members of the different legations in their
national costumes and the ancient court
dresses of the Japanese women, which trans
formed them from little gray moth-l1ke
creatures into great splendid butterflies, all
crimson, purple, green and gold. All this
splendid display of brilliant coloring, glittering
helmets and iewel-incrusted swords was head
ed by a venerable, stately figure in plain
citizens clothing, the Ambassador OF the
United States.
Under cover and shaded by curtains of
roval purple bearing the Emperors crest i
gold the chrysanthemums, Japans pride an
glory the chosen emblem of the imperial house
bloomed in royal state Brought to a wOndertt
degree of perfection the blooms infinite i
variety and exquisite in colorng. None but tn
patient nature1oving japanese gardener ever coul
have succeeded in attaining such perfection. Som
of the stalks bore from five eight hundred flower
each while others cultivated to produce on
gorgeous bloom.
Each variety had separate name indicated upo
a small tablet, suggested by its appearance. Som
of the names were poetica1 and pretty. One grea
scarlet and golden flower called "Golde
Dragon" An oval golden-yel1ow cluster wa
named Golden Bells" A pure-white variety wit
wide petals was The Moon on the Snow" Will
another white of pyramid shape was The Snov
Mount" A lovely one of pink was named 8 Prett.
Girl One beautiful variety of buff with sun
set red lining was called The Robe of Autumn
Leaves, Graceful Stork,' Lamp on the Snow
Eternal Spring" Dancing Girl" 'Rampan
Lion" were some of the fanciful names ATTACHED
to various plants all suggestive of the beauty o
the flowers.
A poem hung to of the stems which the guest

1t was interesting to learn from one OF
the Japanese men that the Emperor objects
to extremes of fashion of any kind and when
wide sleeves puffed at the shoulders were in
fashion some years ago he objected to the
Empress wearing them on her foreign
dresses, and so, like dutiful wife, she ap-
peared with moderate-sized sleeves when
everyone else wore the immense balloon
sleeves of the period.
The Empress followed, dressed in japanese
court robes of beautiful brocade. The outer
