Z YOKOHAMA, Japan, Apr. 10.-Thel
Hawaiian excursion party stepped in
to a world of gorgeous fantasy on
Tuesday night, when a formal dinner
was given the party by President
Soichiro Asano, of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha. The dinner took place at
President Asano'S home, one Of the
most remarkable residences in all
Japan. in fact, in all the world. 1t is
near the tombs of the famous Forty
Seven Ronin, whose place in Japanese
history is known to all students Of the
lore of Japan and about whose deeds
there clings an atmosphere Of glamor
almost legendary, though the story
is an historical fact.
President Asano's home at Taxa
nawa is very remarkable for two
things-for its wonderful beauty-a
gorgeous and bewildering Japanese
beauty-and for the perfect hospital
ity that President and Madame Asa
no there dispense to their friends and
acquaintances and to all whose good
fortune brings them an invitation.
The head of the T. X. X. line has es-
tablished the now we'll known custom
of inviting to tea at this house all pas
sengers who travel aboard his steam
ers. The Hawaiian party was, how
ever, especially favored. In addition
TO the tea invitation it received cor
dial invitation for dinner on the night
after the steamer arrived.
A train from Yokohama conveyed
the party TO Takanawa, about 80 min
utes' ride from Yokohama, and in th2
outskirts of Toxic. Carriages await
ed the visitors at the statiOn-Queer
little closed carriages in which four
people can sit, if their legs are not
too long. The carriages dashed
through the rain and mud for quar-
ter of an hour and then suddenly the
rarty emerged into a new and bi-
zarre world, alighting from the car
riages under broad entrance and be
ing ushered statelily into the beautl-
! full Asano residence.
