THE WAYS OF JAPAN.
You Are Never Sure Of Privacy, Even
While Taking q Bath.


As one steps before the wide
open doors of the reception room
or into the court or the kitchen, as
the case may be, the host ap-
proaches and greets with a low bow,
followed by the hostess and usually
one or more of the maids, who,
kneeling, bend to the floor. The
ealutations are returned, word is
exchanged perhaps about the rooms
or the meal that is to be prepared,
and the guest seats himself on the
Low porch or platform that sur
rounds the entrances and removes
his shoes or sandals, leaving them
on the ground If one wears the
japanese cloth shoe and straw SAN
dal, as I did some of the time. the
feet are always washed in a wooden
basin Of water brought by a maid,
who comes Gathering around the
outside of the house on wooden
clogs to bring it and sets it down
before one on the ground A little
towel is brought, too, unless one, as
usual, has this most useful of arti-
cles about his person.
Then the guest steps in, in stock
ing feet or barefoot, and, preceded
by q servant, passes through the
open rooms, often between double
line of all the people of the house,
who are bowing to the floor. He
enters the room allotted to him and
there seats himself Cross legged on
q cushion on the matted floor be-
fore tiny charcoal fire in brazier
and rests-at least pretends to rest
if he is q foreigner-until disregard
for ceremony gets the better Of him
and he adopts an easier position.
Presently comes a demure or smil-
ing little maid, with rosy cheeks and
fancifully colored silk kimono, who
kneels outside and slides open the
paper door, enters, kneels and
closes it, brings tea things to the
center of the room and, kneeling,
pours out wee cup of tea to the
guest or each of the guests. This
done, she bends her forehead to the
floor and patters out, opening and
closing the door, as before If the
guest is an honored one some dain-
ty, such as bean jelly or cakes or
raw dough rolled in pink and
green powder, is brought with the
tea. Then the guest steps out to
the porch to wash, and as he dries
his face he looks at the little cul-
tured garden OF off to the distant
valley or forest OF mountain OF sea.
Returning to his room, he is
most of the time alone until the
coming of the meal or, if it chances
to be afternoon or evening, until
the announcement comes that "the
bath is ready" One is never entire
ly alone. Access to the room is al
ways free on several sides, and host,
visitor or servant may come in at
any time. One becomes used to
this and learns to like it in most
ways. There is nothing hidden. It
makes life simple and informal and
more natural We found it a dis
advantage sometimes when we had
too many visitors whose curiosity
got the better of them, but we al
ways took it in good part, finding it
amusing rather than annoying

Western sprinters Formidable.

CHICAGO. April 1.-THE announcement

burgh and Richard Frizelle-would short
ly go after the swimming relay record OF
minutes Is 3-5 seconds for 400 yards,
now to the credit OF the New York Ath-
letic Club team, brings to light most
interesting and successful experiment
completed by Instructor Frank Sullivan.
Two years ago Sullivan became con-
vinced that the build Of an athlete had q
great deal to do with his success and de-
cided to take In hand few boys who did
not know how to swim. but had the de-
sired physical conformation and expert
mented on his theory. He chose q slight,
smooth-muscled type Of only average
height. The five men he picked-Hebner.
Chivtlle. McGillivray. Prizelle and Vos-
burgh-were all members OF the Chicago
Y. NJ. C. A.. and Hebner. the oldest. was
only sixteen. He taught them the breast
stroke until they could keep ahoat, and
then set them at the crawl, or, rather, at
a variation Of II.
Sullivan teaches q stroke that Is really
cross between the trudgeon and the
crawl. The arms reach we'll out ana pull
long stroke like In the trudgeon, but the
body Is kept face down and the legs give
one very narrow scissor kick, and then
1utter up and down between leg drives to
keep the body under way.
OF the five pupils. only Chiville failed to
make a good sprinter. becoming instead q
remarkable endurance performer. The
other four rapidly acquired speed, and the
unusual spectacle OF boys who had not
known how to swim more than q year
leading the Held was witnessed.
