tie, October 25 for India, was received
lately by Mrs. Katherine Upmeyer, in
which the writer states she had ar
rived at Yokohama and was waiting
for steamer, which would carry her
on to Calcutta, probably an indefinite
matter of several weeks. Miss Fields
had very pleasant trip, one product
, i've of decided entertainment, and of
rather an instructive nature, as the
ship on which she sailed was Jap
nese vessel, the sailing list of which
was largely made up of Japanese dig
nitaries. During the voyage the en-
peror's birthday was celebrated, when
a number of japanese sports and deck
races took place. A unique feature was
the sword dance given by japanese
official, Tea was served during the
day; the festivities eliminating with
banquet in the evening
There were eighteen missionaries
aboard the ship. Miss Fields also men
toned the extreme cold noted especial

the vessel, which went by way of the
Accusation Islands.

school programs given at this time of
the year, one of outstanding interest

auspices of the ParentsTeacher associa-
ton of the Lincoln school, when a
large audience of about three hundred
persons filled the school hail. Much of
the success of the program, which unit
ed a patriotic note with the Christmas
character of the numbers, was largely
due to the combined efforts of Mrs. j.

tion, Mrs. Florian Won Eschen, princi.

ic instructor in the grades, who were
ably assisted by the other teachers of
