PLEASANT DINNER IN JAPAN.
Member Of Recent British Mission
Tells Of the Repast.


An old-fashioned Japanese dinner in
Kyoto is described by Lord Redesdale.
who accompanied Prince Arthur OF
Connaught on the recent British mis-.
sion to Japan. Lord Redesdale says:
THE invitation specially stipulated
that we should come in Japanese
dress, and as the mayor had very kind
ly presented us each with a suit, for
which he had actually sent a nan all
the way to Toxic, when we first ar,
rived there, to take our measures, we
could only do as he wished How tc
put on suit of Japanese clothes was
problem which none OF us was CON-
petent to solve. There were knots and
bows to be tied. Of which only the
initiated possess the secret, involving
possibilities OF solecIsms not to be
thought Of. However, there were will.
ing and cunning hands ready to help
and by the time the carriages were
reads we were all rugged out as Jap
anese gentlemen, perfectly correct
even to the incest fold
"A more comfortable dress II would
be difficult to find, cool in summer
warm and cozy in winter. Why did
the Japanese abandon II for our clum.
sy costume? Only one thing came
amiss to me. The white socks. with
their division for the big toe, seemed
to cut me; but that is a matter OF
habit. In this matter of dress the
mayors dinner reached the height Of
topsy-turvydom. For. whereas the
English guests were all in Japanese
robes. the Japanese guests were all
In European coats. Admiral Togo,
Gen. Kuroh and the others had not
brought their kimonos with them on
this journey. SO they were compelled
to dine in what clothes they had.
1T was a curious sight and the man.
agement Of chopsticks by some OF our
party was not quite what might have
been expected of gentlemen so attired.
The black cloth coats were quite at
home with them: the kimonos, on the
contrary. were very much puzzled, and
not averse to a little help from small.
clever hands. In taking their seats
upon the mats. too, the coats had much
the best OF It. the poor kimonos
sprawhrg about in very ungainly at
titudelS All this was very amusing to
the pretty little geishas, who were
busy serving the dinner and who could
not conceal their merriment."
