VISIT OF AN AMERICAN TO ~

austere. But no one could fail to be i'm
pressed with his penetrating eyes and his
supreme and majestic dignity.
Without a smile of welcome, such as
all Japanese usually employ at greet
ing, he turned quietly to the gentleman
on his right Count Nogas sakiS and asked
in low, quiet voice In Japanese, how
long had been in Japan. After. this
was translated to me and | had replied
and 1t was translated again to the en-
peror, he inquired If had seen any en-
joyable sights in Japan,
replied that had seen many. He
then asked where l was going after |
left Japan. And after he heard my re-
ply he put out his hand again as sign
that the audience was ended l shook it
and then backed out of the room, bowng
thrice, as when ! entered. 1t seemed as
If I had hardly been in his presence two
minutes.
We were then conducted to the enl-
press audience chamber, and went
through exactly the same ceremony. the
three questions asked by the empress be-
ing the same as those asked by the em-
perer. ! have since been told that the
same questions are generally asked all
persons who receive the imperial audi
ences.
After being escorted back to the wait
ing room for few minutes, we were
taken to the entrance ROOM where we
signed our names In the guest books of
@AA IL
our carriages and went home.
We saw the emperor again on his
| birthday, November 8, while he was re-
viewing the imperial troops. After all
| the crowd was assembled, the band
| struck up the wonderfully impressive
national air. and he was driven into the
vast parade ground In a gold, green and
red lacquered carriage drawn by two
superb sorrel coach horses. He sat on
the back seat, while one gentleman Of
the court sat opposite him. He was
driven around the entire hollow square
in front Of his troops. and then took. a
position in front of a pavilion, while the
troops marched by between him and the
band. His face was imn,ovable and
showed no sign OF recognition of the
crowd. In former times the face Of the
emperor would have been veiled from his
subjects.
The crown prince was there. too. He
is slight, delcate-looking young man
quite blond for a Japanese. Neither the
empress nor any ladies of the court were
/ present at the review, but We caught a
glimpse OF her majesty once again at the
palace gate when she was returning
home from the opening of some hospital
or charity. The car tracks that her car
riage had to cross were covered with
earth, so as not to bump her carriage
AS she rode by in the center of a
cavalcade of horsemen and carriages the
people uncovered their heads, but uttered
no cheer, as that was not permissible. as
in olden times.
