of honor at a dinner at the Japanese am
bassador's home on X street this evening.
Is Man Of Means.
Baron Mitzui is rated as the wealthiest
man in his native country. and has a
banking house on Broome street in New
York city, which quite naturally allies
him with this country's interests. They
arrived in New York about a week ago,
and plan a tour of ten days, visiting Ma
CARA Falls. Chicago and the west and
finally sailing from San Francisco for
Japan.
Both Baron and Baroness Mitzui in ap-
pearance and manner are the travelled
American. They have seven children,
only two of whom are boys. They have
only one daughter with them. The BarO-
ness Mltzui is a dainty little woman, with
the poise and manners of princess
In Toxic the baroness name is as we'll
known and In much the same way as
and is interested in every sort of charity
She Is also patron of a school there
for girls. where the young women of
the empire are taught French, German,
English, housekeeping. sewing and other
arts.
I'VE don't give our girls SO much of
what you call the higher education"
she said.
The more difficult studies are set for
the boys. We believe In marriages and
fair sized families. The average family
in Japan as four children"
Native Costume Abolished.
Speaking Of fashions. the baroness de-
clared: I'VE women do not wear the ma
tive costume any more at all in our coun-
try. We dress on the American plan and
keep house that way, too. When we go
out to ride we enjoy an automobile, just
as you do in this country. Even on Vaca-
tons, for the country or seashore, we
adopt your costume. for we like the short
skirts that are so helpful in climbing
and In general travel. But we do not put
on false hair, like they do SO much in
this country. Somehow we like the hair
to be natural and without hat.
The baroness added that wearing
American clothes was much more eXpen-
SU the native costume hQcauS1 of
the change in style, but she says the
japanese women like the change just
the same.
The above interesting information was
impaired through the aid Of an inter-
prefer who accompanies the party.

Another incident that made the session
lively was the boiling of ten members of
the conference after they had been denied
a hearing on the question OF vivisection.
Mrs. Hugo Krause of Chicago propounded
the following question. and was ruled out
OF order by DR.. Stillman, president:
us it true that dogs are sold in Wash
ington for vivisection purposes at so cents
apiece?"
Instantly the delegates became excited,
and President Stillman stepped to the
edge of the stage and declared that the
program for the conference had been
drawn with the approval of the majority
of the delegates and vivbSection had been
omitted purposely. Indignant, the little
band of anti-vvisectionists left the hall
together.

of the condition Of the horses of Wash

horses so poor in appearance and SO bad
