from our Mothers in the way of old
clothes, hat we thought she would
not miss, and sell them to the second
hand man in order to get the money to
buy a ticket for the Minstrels when
they came to town.
We would hide the dough in the
woodshed. where neither brother nor
anybody else could find it and then
wait for the day of the show.
Yesterday the BOSS asked us to
COVER the Minstrel show and 1t took
us back to the old days; we were

LOVE AND POETRY
Combination Long Prominent in
Japanese Wooing.
Custom Of Utagakl First Mentioned In
Fifth Century, Though Believed
to Be Much Older-Devoted
to Verse Making.

One Of the prettiest customs Of old
Japan that has survived the new or
der is the Utagaki, or gathering Of
Japanese young men and women In
flower season to compose odes to the
blossoms and to the moonbeams,
forming friendships that often endure
through life. 1t Is first mentioned In
the time of Emperor Yuryaku In the
fifth century, although no doubt much
older.
The Utagaki. or primitive form Of
wooing, according to which Utagaki
vas most fashionable, took place at
Tsuwakinoichi in Yamato, In the vi,
cinity Of Mount Utagaki. At these
happy gatherings, If a man failed to
win the heart of the lady he was bent
on winning, the others made a laugh
ing-stock Of him and jeered him to In
dignation. Consequently, suitors were
p%erseverIng In order to escape ridi-
Guile.
As the meeting came to order. If
| there was order, each Of the partici-
| pants selected a theme for the ode to
be composed. After the composition
was completed. the man recited his
achievement to the company. and a
| lady was asked to recite hers; and so
It went, men and women reciting In
turn, until all had done.
ThoseSwhose verses pleased the au-
dience most were then commended
for their efforts. The man whose
verse won most approval was to have
the lady whose verse was deemed
best. At least 1t was easier for the
ladies to like the men who were most
expert In these odes, which created
jealousy among those not so expert.
The upshot of 1t all usually was that
all finally mated before the festival
was over.
This custom Of Utagaki continued
popular for centuries. Competition In
poetry and love was considered wor.
thy Of emulation. One does not won
der that 1t frequently led to war.
As a rule the higher classes did NOT
allow their daughters to go from
home unattended; but the Utagakl
was always considered al exception
to the rule. Nor is 1t remarkable that
we often read In the literature OF this
period such expressions as fell in low
at first sight," and so on. 1t was only
natural that In time. as civiliSatior
advanced, the custom OF holding
Utagakl should fan into disuse.
There is a belief In Japan that tn
custom of holding these poetic love
meetings Is as old as the first emperor
1t is said that an incident In the lif'
of the imperial house gave rise to tn,
custom Of Utagaki. In those far-of
days marriage. In 80 cases out OF lW
took place by the exchanging Of odes
which were expressions Of loves-
