Of education are not too closely ac-

"And to think" he complained, "that
this is what we pay an education rate
of fifty cents for"
The last boy stood up.
"Please, sir" he asked, with respect

she carefully refrained from any fur

brought new stories to read to her, and
things went on much as they had done
before. One evening he told her some
great good news. Two stories had
been accepted. One Of the editors had
sent for him. He had been asked for
more, and he was going to put up his
price. Marjorie rejOiced with him, and
they went out, and celebrated with a
little supper. The next news he
brought was that he had been offered
readers position at one of the pub

not to take it, as it would take all his
time from his story writing"
"But Helen has advised me to take

She said nothing. but looked unut-

She did not see him again for two

AN ANCIENT JAPANESE ART
Embroidery Made in FIowery Kingdom
for Centuries Before Country
Was Opened to World.

Japanese embroidery, now so popu-
lar in this country. is one of the oldest
arts of the mikado's people. For cen
turtles before the country was opened
10 foreign intercourse heavily embroid-
cred silk kimOnoS, screens, and other
articles were made by professional
embroidery experts, principally in
KyOtO. This same profession con-
tinues today. having been handed
down from father to son for many gen
erations. For this reason the center
of the COuntry's art-embrodery indus
try is ut KyOto, although cheaper em-
broideries principally for export, are
produced in large quantities in other
part of the Kobe dis-'ict.
The majority of the workers In Kyo-
to are men, who produce the finer
grades of embroidery. 1t is essentially
household industry. and is usually
conducted in small shops, where from
three TO ten apprentices and skilled
embroiderers are employed. The men
received from 40 to 70 cents gold pen
day. The women, however, are able
to earn from II TO 80 cents gold per
day. depending upon their ability anO
diligence.
The manufacture of handmade lace
IS Il comparatively new industry in
Japan. ms lace was not used by the
Japanese before the advent of foreign
ers. The industry is still in its in
fancy, and the output is small.
