FEAST FOR JAPANESE DOLL
Curious Manner In Which Children
Observe Month Of February-An-
sWers to St. Valentines Day.

In that land of feasts and festivals
-Japan-the most popular one with
the children is the feast OF dolls
which takes place in the month OF
February. It perhaps answers to ou1
st. Valentine festivities.
The fun lasts for three DAYS. and Il
little Miss Japan's father and mother
and grandfather and grandmother
have laid up in store for this occa
sion, dolls by the hundred are
brought forth to celebrate the feast
and many of the dolls are years and
years old-hundreds Of years, even
for every doll that enters Japanese
home is treasured and kept for this
great day.
The best room in the house Ii
chosen, here shelves covered with
rich silken hangfngs, gay In color, are
arranged, perhaps five or six shelves
extending the length Of one side OF
the room
The principal dolls are the emperor
and empress Of Japan, or two dolls
dressed to represent these august per
sonages in their court attire. Every
thing centers about them; dolls tt
represent maids of honor, courtiers
and statesmen, each in appropriate
dress, are ranged next in order
Everything which their imperia
majesties can possibly need in the
way of household furniture is repre-
sented in miniature: silver CUPS
bowls, and rice buckets, on lacqueret
trays, are placed before the emperor
and empress, and each day the little
child for whom this festival is pre-
pared fills the dishes with the differ
ent kinds Of food used in a Japanese
household-rice, fruits, nuts an(
cake, or sweet wfne
At the end Of the feast the dolls
are packed away for another year
except two or three, which are LEFT
out for daily use.

BILLBOARD FIGHT
TO BE DISCUSSED

Discussion of the methods suggest
ed for the elimination of billboards in
this city and especially on the west
side of the river will require most OF
the time of the meeting of the West
Richmond Improvement association te-
morrow night. The meeting will be
held at the Baxter school building.
The committee appointed by the presi-
dent of the organization some time
ago will make explanations of its re-
port, which was submitted at the last
meeting of the association
The West Richmond Improvement
association is decidedly opposed to the
billboards, declaring that they are un-
slightly and are really detriment to
the city. One plan which has been sug-
gested is that every merchant in the
city be invited to attend a future meet
ing at which time the members of the
association will explain their views on
the subject and request will be made
of the merchants to refuse to adver.
tise on billboards in the city.
