1t Is estimated that a professional
man in Japan can live with his wife
in comfort on the sum of $3.50. This
means one large divisible apartment
a small kitchen, bathroom, a study
and a storeroom charming garden,
one servant and surroundings of great
refinement Mats are the covering OF
the floor, of course; pillows the seats;
table linen is supertiuous where lac
quered trays and paper napkins are
used; personal laundry is at its min

the custom. The fagots used in cook

is one of the luxuries of this minute
menage, for high bamboo fence
shuts off the view of strangers. Each
article of the house is carefully Sc
lected and some of them are of rare
beauty and of a durability that per-
mits them to be handed on from one
generation to another. No waste takes
place, for every crumb of the food pre-
pared is eaten. Flowers are the chief
decoration and the science of flowers
is a part of the accomplishments OF
the lady Of the house. The large
room, with its several mats and its
adjustable partitions, becomes at
night time the sleeping places OF the
several members of the house, but

Sue Hardy; then one year later
my beloved mother, next the
death of my beloved sister, Sallie

good people of Union City have sus-
tanned me, comforted and stood by
me in all my many trials. In my
feeble way can, with heart full
Of gratitude, thank, thank you; yes,

we also return thanks to friends
who sent such sweet flowers and
letters and messages and words Of
of coincidence, for they are as to-
kens from Heaven. | can say only,
God bless you one and all.
And would not fail to express
the depth of gratitude to her friends
in the far West, where the angel of
death so suddenly took her away.
