~ARNEL. the home of the artist and the
writer; the retreat of the lover of
nature and of the simple life, gave its
sixth pageant-drama early in July. No one
has seen California who mas not visited Car
mel and witnessed play given by the Forest
Theatre Company. These pleasures had never
been mine, but the gods are kind (sometimes)
and July found me jitneying over the wooded
hill which separates Monterey from Carmel.

to seek a better site.
At the end of a fve-mile ride we swung
around our last curve on the hillside into the
main street Of Carmel-that Carmel whose old
mission pageants, interesting colony of paint

years made it famous the world over. Here

Imagine an immense pine forest, divided IN
twain by a wide sandy road leading down to
the sea. This main thoroughfare is lined on
either side by the necessary small shops, post
Office, etc. Many little wooden houses, gener-
ally dark brown in color, with their patches OF
garden, are dotted through the forest. Add
an inn or two. several small churches, and you
have, generally speaking, the settlement OF
Carmel
At the far end of this road (called Ocean
Avenue). lie the wonderful white sand dunes
and the blue Pacific. At the left "hills rise

yet even the ever-present movie is here. The
excitement is the arrival of the mail. Then the

SONGS OF THE W.

"The Musical Quarterly" Michezane was a
teacher at Toxic, governor of Sanuk and a
Minister of State under Daigo Tenno. who
loved him UNNECESSARILY. But the Fujawara,
powerful mobiles and jealous, poisoned the mind
of the Mikado against him and he was sent
in Punishment to the island of Kin Shiu. Even
in his lonely and unjust exile, however, his
attachment to the Son of Heaven remained.
Every day he blessed the memory of his sover-
eign and every day in reverent homage he
pressed to his forehead an embroidered Chi
nese robe, the gift of Daigo, and in loyal &C.
stasy inhaled the fragrance of its perfumed
folds. And there he wrote a poem which has
come down through the centuries, which is still
recited while its sentiments are portrayed by
the dramatic dancers of the Flowery Kingdom,
even as the hard trials, great tribulations and
measureleSs devotion of Michezane are de
picted in the theatres. Here is the poem:
A year ago.
year ago tonight,
In Sci Ryo served my Emperor.
Verses we spake,
OF autumnal thought
Now am heartbroken
And alone.
Only the honored robe,
His honored gift,
Is with me yet
Uplifting this
Now day by day,
The lingering scent
| reverently breathe.
The tenth century was the period in Japan's
history in which the imperial power entered
upon its decadence and the temporal ruler
ship of the shoguns began; but this circum-
stance serves only to throw into higher relief
the sentiment Of Michezane's poem and of its
companion piece, "Kimgayo,' the words OF
which, done literally into English, read: May
the Imperial Reign last for one thousand gen.
eratons, until the pebbles in the river become
big rocks covered with moss" which, to recur
to a thought discussed here some weeks ago,
is only another way of saying, God save the
King! Long live the King! May the King
live forever"
When the war between Japan and China
was in progress, some twenty years ago, a
patriotic japanese ditty was written, printed
