Between
Old And New
On In Japan

Philadelphia, Nov. 17--Japan Is
leading double life.
Such is the opinion of o. Togo
da, imperial minister of railways
of the Island Empire. who has been
visitor in Philadelphia. But the
double life has no sinister meaning
rather a humorous one, for 1t Is
the product of the neyer-ending
battle between the traditions Of
Nippon and the practicalities of
the Occident.
Even old man High Cost of Liv-
ing has Invaded the Orient In
quaint fashion, according to Mr..
Toyoda, selecting the kimono as
the prime object Of his attack.
Once the regulation dress of every
respectable Japanese, the kimono
is being rapidly driven out Of the
islands by the American ready
made suit, which, in addition to
being cheaper than the native gar
ment, allows the wearer to work
unhampered by loose-flowing folds
Even the children are now be- !
ing clothed in rompers, overalls
and other Yankee clothing, which
gives the maximum amount of |
freedom in play, combined with
ease Of washing.
but it is in other phases Of
home life that the clash between
the old and the new is being most
severely felt" said Mr.. Toyoda,
MANY of the younger generation
have gone to school and been en-
gagged in business in Europe and
America and become accustomed (
while there to sitting in chairs,
thereby acquiring an aversion to
return to the Oriental fashion of
squatting on a mat.
"As the younger person return
ing to Nippon will not squat, so it
is equally out of the question for
the older people to sit up straight
in high-backed chairs and preside
at tables. The solution has been
found in furnishing rooms to suit
both generations. which, although
it separates the family at social
functions, is more suitable to the
needs of the persons involved. This
makes for Jazz parties in one part
of the house and dignified recrea-
tion in the other.
"The changes wrought by con-
tact with the Occident have affect
ed the family meal, as we'll, MAX
ing it now practically impossible
for Japanese household to dine
together.
During their trips to Europe
and America the younger genera II
tion have acquired a fondness for
roast beef, mashed potatoes,
French pastry and other articles of
diet incompatible with the frugal
Japanese diet of rice, egg and
chicken combinations. Even tea,
that firmly-rooted institution of
Japanese life, is being thereatened
by the introduction of coffee or
more exciting beverages. Again,
this leads to split in the home
and necessitates the cook leading
a double life,' unless the family is
wealthy enough to employ two
chefs to meet the tastes Of the
older folk and the younger gour-
nands.
'In table service the conflict is
again in evidence. Chopsticks for
he older; knives, forks and spoons N
'or the younger members are seen,
as we'll as variety of dishes and 4
tableware. Soup is now consumed
10 two melodies in different Ian
Not only has the double :
ife' problem reached a point
where it becomes serious in it's
social and economic aspect, but it
'orms one of. the chief items in the :.
Upward march of the cost of living !,
in the land Of the Rising Sun" !.

We need to perpetuate the Christ
mas spirit In our homes.
1t is~a solemn moment when two
human lives are united for better, for
worse, for richer, for poorer, in sick
ness and in health, till death do them
part. AS Jane Welch Carlyle once
said, "If ever one is to pray, if ever
one Is to feel grave, if ever one is to
shrink from vain show and babble, it
is just on the occasion when two hu-
man beings bind themselves together
till death do them part"
There is nothing that more nearly
resembles the heaven of our dreams
than does happy home. Is there any
thing that so surely suggests the hell
of our secret dread as does an un-
happy home?
What is needed to build a home?
Money is needed, but how much more
than money! Money can build a
house-a wonderful and wonderfully
furnished house. Only love can build
q home.

@T ALMOST every corner grocer's
~ stands can be purchased very
cheaply that will hold the Christ
mas tree firmly in position.
The simplest of these consists of a
crosspiece of wood raised a little from
the floor by wooden supports and hav-
ing hole in the center to insert the
trunk Of the tree.
More elaborate ones take the form
of wooden square, painted bright
red and surrounded by a low wooden
railing
Country dwellers who cannot pur-
chase these trees at the corner store,
but have to cut them in the nearest
wood lot, must devise some other way
of holding the Christmas tree in posi-
tiOn
The easiest way to do this, if the
tree is not too large and heavy, is to
insert the trunk into the hole through
the bottom of a wooden box, and
either paint this box green or red Or
cover it with green or red paper.
A starch box will hold up a small
tree perfectly, but a somewhat larger
box must be chosen for one of larger
growth. If, in spite of all precautions,
the tree seems too heavy and is in
clined to wobble, weight the box on
either side with heavy stones. Some
times the box IS filed with sand, the
trunk planted in that, and then the
wooden cover nailed in place to make
all very solid.
If one has any talent for carpentry,
even of the toughest sort, an effective
support can be made by mailing two
pieces of wood in the shape Of a
square cross, holding the tree upon
this and mailing cleats to both tree
and support until it stands firmly.
A very pretty effect can be obtained
by covering the support of the tree
and the floor directly around it with
white cotton batting on which silver
tinsel, called "rain" in most shops, has
been sprjnkled. This makes the tree
look as If it were growing in bunch
Of snow glittering in the sun.

of the world? Better instruments
Yes, undoubtedly. For the removal of
disease better scientific instruments
are needed. For the removal of cer-
tain domestic difficulties, better hous-
ing accommodations are needed. For
the removal of industrial friction, a
better economic system is needed. For
the removal OF international strife, a
new world organization is needed A
world that has been organized for war
must be organized for peace. For the
rebuilding of the world better instru-
mentS are needed. But what is su-
premely needed is a better spirit If
only you and and all our neighbors
would persistently cultivate the Christ
mas spirit, our children's children
would live in a far better world. For
then it would be only a question OF
time until we should discover the in
struments needed for the fashioning
of a fairer civilization, and we would
be willing to use these instruments as
soon as they could be developed.
What a pity, then, If Christmas this
year should come and go and leave
none of us permanently different.

74'Sszs':

The seasons of the soul, however
fleeting, do leave their mark But in
the case of many of us how faint that
mark, and how liable 1t is to disap-
pear. If only the kindly dispositions
born at Christmas time could be per-
petuated, how permanently different
the world would become!
Most of us become faint of heart
when we think of rebuilding the life
of the world. To build a world with
out any extremes of wealth and pov-
erty in it. how difficult. To build a
world without any domestic tragedy
I'm 1t. how difficult. To build a world
without any industrial friction or In
ternatiOnal strife In 1t, how difficult.
Many people are ready to say that 1t
is quite impossible. Perhaps it is. Yet
It would not be if only men and wom-
en- would keep on cultivating the dis
positions that are born at Christmas
time.

Candles and
Yule Log
IT. HRISTMAS gifts were common

IT. HRISTMAS gifts were common
VI in Medieval times. Accounts
tell Of the chambers guild send
ing out gratis to everyone a special
sort of big, fiat candles which were
burned with the Yule log to light
the houses for the coming of super
natural Christmas visitor. The bak-
ers also sent out "Yule cakes" or
'Yule babies" which were little i'm
ages of Christ. This custom, in fact,
seems to be even older, it being re-
corded on the old Roman calendars
that on the Vigil of the Nativity little
images of the Christ Child were made
in great numbers and presented to
the fathers in the Vatican.
Gradually the sentiment of 'Peace
on earth, good will to men" and the
celebration of the spirit by general
gifts seems to have spread through
the other guilds, and finally to have
become general.
In England today there is survival
Of the ancient custom practiced by
landowners of setting big sacks of
grain or other products outside the
gate that whoever came might help
himself. 1t is said that an extra
Christmas eve feed Is also still given
to the cattle.

men who had strength or skill to in

This motive Of profit has been given a

We need to perpetuate the spirit Of
Christmas in international relation
ships.
The nations of Christendom have
been motived far more by Nietzsche's
will to power than by Jesus will to
serve. Their conception Of greatness
has been a pagan, not a Christian
conception. The great nation has been
thought of as nation able to lord it
over other nations, not as a nation
eager to serve other nations. The
proud symbols of the Western world
have been swords and scepters, not
basins and towels. But
'Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!"
Surely the meaning of this present
hour Is clear: Nations must do unto
others as they would have other ma
tions do unto them. Nations must
enter into the worlds life not merely
to get something, but to give some
thing, and, in some international as
sociation, even to risk something in
the interest Of world justice and world
peace.
For the first time in history the ma
tiOns of the world are looking con-
sciously into the eyes OF Jesus and
know it to be true that He alone has
the secret of life.

scious of the reality and glory of a
spiritual world.
Christmas is the time when we are
kind. One day every year the world
suddenly becomes different. Physical
ly speaking, it is the same world. The
sky is the same. The streets are the
same. The hOuses-barring a touch
of holly here and there-are the same.
But you and l and our neighbOrs are
different. We are more just in our
judgments, more thoughtful in our at
tentiOn, more unselfish, more kind.
1t is probably true that these sea-
sons of the soul, however fleeting,
leave their mark We are, perhaps,
were 1t not for the annual observance
of Memorial day; bit more con-
sciOusly grateful than we would be
were 1t not for the annual observance
of a Thanksgiving day; bit more re-
ligiOus than we would be were it not
for the recognition of Lent and the
observance of Easter day. And one
would like to believe that we are
bit more kind than we would be were
it not for the observance Of Christ
mas.
The very approach of Christmas has
certain noticeable psychological ef-
fleets. In 1914 it resulted in tenn
pOrary cessation of hostiIities. On that
first war Christmas the booming guns
gave way to Christmas carols, sung in
three languages. as British and French
and German soldiers fraternized be-
tween the lines. In 1918, as the day
drew near which would commemorate
the birth of the Prince of Peace,
war-weary world dared to hope that
foundations would be laid for endur-
ing peace. The heart of the world is
wrung by the suffering of China, the
tragedy of Armenia, and the pitiful
pleas of the starving children of CEN
trail Europe. Is there any man any
where. not q degenerate, who Is not
conscious of a desire to diminish by
ever so little the worlds distress?
