to visit the lse Shrines, the most
sacred Shinto shrincs in Japan,
where the sun goddess is worship.
| ped as the ancestress of the empcr-
| or. The shrines are IL crytemeria
groves, beautiful trees hundreds of
years old. The temples are made of
natural wood, NO cUlOring anywhere
except in the robes OF the priests
and orchestra. We knelt i'll Il serv.
Ice with tour or tive hundred stu
dents, a service that was Tult or SIM
phcltS and beauty and real worship
throughout. We came on; feeling
mat we had seen ueep III TO the
heart of Japan.
On friaay We left Gotemba on
the railroad for our hiking trip
around the base of Mount FuJi. We
covered $50 miles in four days and
besides hiking used all sorts of
queer vehicles, horse tram, row
boat, even rude motor boat, Fords
and narrow gauge railroads. And
Al
SNOW, and we SAW ii in all of its
moods, dawn, noon, sunset, calm,
storm. Oh. 1t was glorious.
Monday We spent at Hakone
lake, where again we had reflections
OF Mount FuJi. And Tuesday on
to Kamakura to see the big Dla
butsu, bronze statue, Of Buddha,
and on into Yokohama. We had a
little visit at the y. W. G. A., then
got a room at the Club hotel, near
tne spot where the old Grande hotel
stood. There are still many evi-
dences of the devastation of Sep
tember, 1923, but they have made
marvellous progress since saw it in
February 1925.
I'VE had two days in Tokyo.
Such marvellous department stores,
office buildings anu transportation
facilities. Ii has nothing of the re
pose of Peking, it is a great modern
city OF 100000 people.
Describes Theaters
Thursday Mildred and | went to
the Kabukiza theater, from ) until
HIS p. M; eight and half hours
of theater in one day is a-bit
strenuous, l must admit. There
were recesses of 10 and 20 minutes,
throughout, and one of 25 minutes
when everybody had dinner. There
are restaurants of all kinds around
the corridors. Ii was o fascinating
experience. There were two his
torieai plays, one senl odern, and
one act dance. The audience it
self was full of interest to us. Such
beautiful costumes as the women
had on! And such u display Of coiorS
and lights in the plays themselves,
and gorgeous costuming. The stage
revolved, turning one set of scenery
back and new one in without drop
ping the curtain.
And now we are back at Nikko
and have planned to stay till Tues
day We go from mere to Matsus-
hima. ON tie northeast coast. then
across the island and back by train
along the northwest shore to Ami
nohashi. W" are leaving the last
10 days for Kyoto, which is the
ancient capitol, the Peking OF Ja-
pan.
Japan in May is perfectly
glorious, but l am glad my job is

FrOck -
Declared Passe
For Street Wear
BY FEDDA HOYT
(Urited Press Fashion Editor)

NEW YORK, June 21.-Manv
women are wondering whether they
should wear long sleeves or short
ones during the hot weather. Both
long and short sleeves are permis-
sable this year. However, short
sleeves or sleeveless froeks should
not be worn on city streets. The
short slccved mode which has come
back into style this season is for
country or sports wear rather than
for town wear.
Dame Fashion doesn { give n
wrap for the sleeveless frock with.
out wrap as far as city wear
is concerned The days when one
could go on the streets with arms
bare from the shoulder are no more.
When one wishes sleeveless dress
for town wear. one must have lit
the jacket, three-quarter length or
long coat as an accompaniment. The
coat, of course, is kept in harmony
with the dress as far as color goes.
The dress with Il sleeve midway
between shoulder and elbow may be
worn in town on very warm days
providing one wears wristlet gloves.
Gloves somehow offer an apology
for the fact that the sleeves are
short. The well-dressed woman
wouldn t be liable to appear ON the
street in shortsleved gown with
out suede or silk gloves which eN
tend Just above the wrists. Wheth-
cr this is coo than wearing
long slecvcd dress without gloves is
a matter for the individual to
solve. As YOU know, one often sees
very smartiy dressed women with
out gloves on warm days. The
gloves, of course, are always cSi-
dent since they are carried III the
hand or protrude from the pocket
or pocket book.
The sport dress of sleeveless type
worn with a short jacket is already
an established style this season
may be of the same mater
ial as the dress or of velveteen in
harmonizing color, of linen, ere
tonne or printed material. Three
quarter length coats also may be
worn with sleeveless frocks al
though the full length coat usually
calls for d ng-sleeved froek be
meath il for some reason or other.

BUFFALO, y. V, june 21.-The
sun forced his way through the
thick fog to smile a welcome to
the field of 9s women golfers who

Miss Virginia Van Vic, is year
old Chicago city champion. turned
in the low qualifying score of SO.
Miss Edith Quier Of Reading, Pa.
was next with an SIS.
The last minute Withdrawals OF
Glenna Collctt, eastern aud former
national champion, Miss Ada Me
kenzie. Canadian champion, and
Maurcen Arcutt. metropolitan cham-
pion, were a blow to the tourna-
ment committee and a great disap-
pointment to the players.
Miss Virginia Van Vie is play
ing in her best form and should
win the tournament. The main
weakness in her game is that she
lacks tournament experience and
the Twill to win spirit.
Mrs. Arthur Harrison, who has
lust recently come here from Eng
land, is a golfer who promises to
make il interesting for Miss Van
Vie, should they meet.
Mrs. Harrison has been champion
of Norfolk county, England, and
this is her first tournament in

lish build, aud hits long bail

more friendly than they are here.
