pointed: GO! Stand where l tell

Glass in japan.

1t is only during a comparatively
short time that the Japanese have
glass as occidentais know it. When
the first railroads were built, passen-
gers in the coaches often put their
heads through the glass, supposing
the frames of the windows to be
pasted pictures on the glass to call
attention to the fact that solid sub
stance was behind them. The masses
of the Japanese today do not know
the mirror as it is known in the
west. The richer people have one
mirror, indeed, but usually the glass
used in the mirrors sold to the popu-

who witness it, as it is held in great
reverence.
Clad in striped costumes of blue and
white satin of the time Of Philip Ill.
and carrying white plumed hats, the
dancers make Philip III. a dainty ap-
pearance. AS the orchestra begins the
quaint music, written early in the sew
enteenth century, played on ancient
instruments and held unpublished, the
boys kneel and offer a short prayer to
the Virgin, afterward singing in their
clear young voices the sweetest OF
melodies, minor in key and plaintive
in style, then, donning their hats, the
dance commences.
This so-called dance is in reality
more of stately walk and a weaving
in and out of several graceful figures,
ending in a single turn at the end OF
each Of the three parts. The castinets
are lightly played and sound charm
ingly. At the close of the dance the
seises make their final obeisance and
ascend the steps Of the altar, followed
/ by the archbishop, his long crimson
robe ripping over the steps from top
to bottom.
Never was more perfect and effec-
tive picture than this: The glistening
silver, softly glowing wax lights and
the air filed with sweet harmony. The
climax is reached when the archbishop
turns, his train cprving in graceful
folds about him and stretches out his
hand to bless his people. Just at this
moment all the bells of the Giralda
peal forth in joyous uAison, the great
tones of the organ. roll through the
cathedral and the orchestra joins in
the last refrain of the semi-religious
dance music, and this fascinating

SEVILLE CATHEDRAL
Most Majestic and Important OF
All in Spain.
In Size II Is Next to st. Peters In
Rome-OnIy Dance Allowed In
Any Christian Church Occurs
Here insDecemher and June.

New York.-Of the 40. wonderful
cathedrals in Spain, the Cathedral OF
Seville ranks as the most majestic
and important, and In size is next to
st. Peters in Rome.
It is during the fiesta of the Immacu-
late Conception in December and on
Corpus Christi in June that is present
ed in this noble church the only dance
allowed in any Christian church in the
world. 1t is also occasionally given
during carnival time.
LA DANA de los Seises" is rite
of remote origin supposed to represent
the dance of the Israelites before the
Ark. Originally IL boys participated
In the dance, to which fact it owes its
name-"The Dance of the Sixes,' as
they danced In pairs six on side.
In the seventeenth century opposi-
ton was raised to the dance by many
persons OF aff1uence, but the people
rose en- masse il protest and petit
toned the pope to preserve this favo-
rite and charming feature of the fiesta.
At the request of the pope the "Slxes"
were sent to Rome that he might
Judge personally of it's fitness. So
pleased was his holiness with its sim
plicity and dignity that he gave per-
mission for it's continuance $50 long
as the costumes then worn should
last"-and he also decided "that the
hats might be worn without any disre-
spect to the Virgin" AS no costume
is ever allowed to fall in total disre-
pair, this elusive manner OF evadlng
the termination Of this unique and at
tractive ceremony will result in It's
surviving for an indefinite time.
For this great fete devoted to the
Virgin an altar 80 or 40 feet high Is
erected of solid silver. The back
ground is of crimson velvet, and ten
of the massive pillars which inclose
the altar and choir are also hung with
the same rich color, lending a,
warmth of tone to the gray interior.
Blue being the color of the Virgin, all
coverings are of this pure color, as are
the magnificent gold embroidered vest
ments worn by the clergy.
The dance is given in the Capilla
Mayor at the foot Of the high altar,
and as the Seises take their position
the archbishop and clergy enter and
