lionaires marching with the children Of the
baker, the butcher and the candlestick maker,
and probably the cooks children.
One of the ~prettiest groups at the ball will
be the geisha girls from the aowery kingdom,
who wear huge chrysanthemums in their hair.
These will be represented by girls ranging
from IL to IA years of age, and the brilliancy
of the colors in their costumes add materially
to their natural loveliness. They will assist
the emperor and empress in entertaining the
guests from all nations who will sit at tea
with royalty.
Dixie will not be overlooked in the various
national airs which will be played during the
afternoon, and when Uncle Sam sends his dele
cation to do homage to the royal pair their
feet will keep time to the good old southern
air which all love so well.

will be is shown by the children, as even their
august highnesses have not been informed.
For what child could keep so important a
secret? And no one must know until the great
day.
One of the ~prettiest parts of the p%erfor-
nance will be the grand march, led by two
little tots about 4 years of age, who will lead
the 500 children through a most intricate fig
ure, weaving in and out seTpentine fashion.
This will be accompanied by weird Japanese
music and gongs, all of the children taking
the tiny little steps or hops which are charac-
teristic of Japan and China. Then the chill
dren will divide into groups of six and all join
in a circle dance.
The children's ball is not unlike the Ak
Sar-Ben ball in numerous ways. Here you
will find the little daughters and sons of mil

and yellow, who will give the tambourine and
Cicola dances. Germany and Holland will
send their fair sons and daughters and they,
too, will dance for the pleasure of the en-
peror and empress of Japan and their guests.
From the United Kingdom will be the Eng
lish, Scotch and Irish young people, and they
will give their native dances in costume.
Leading all OF these will be the subjects Of
Uncle Sam under the Stars and Stripes.
Scores of geisha girls and Japanese boys, all
in magnificent kimonas and sumarai coats,
will wait upon the imperial rulers, and hum
dreds of Japanese cups and numerous minia-
ture tables have been imported for this great
tea party. The guests will all sit upon mats
on the floor around the little tables in genuine
Japanese style. Much speculation and curl
osity as to whom the emperor and empress
