JAPAN CONTRASTS
OLD AND THE NEW
Modern Life Against Back
ground Of Hoary Custom
lntrigues Travellers.

TOXIC, February 20.-The per-
ennially new and charming travel
interest Of Japan Is one Of the most
recent travel discoveries. The pas
toral beauty Of the Japanese coun-
tryside, the unspoiled and ancient
mystical traditions Of the people, the
delicacy of their olden art form
background Of intriguing contrast to
the lives OF q race so modern that
they have adopted and improved upon
some OF the very latest, and sometimes
most amusing, developments of West
tern life.
Thus Toxic not only has great tea
houses, run in the most modern man
ner, but has gone our popular restau-
rants one better by installing in some
OF them beauty parlors for the watt
resses, who are picked for their looks
quite as much as for efficiency. And
many of the apartment houses in the
larger cities are the last word in
modernistic design and furnishings.
Thousands of pilgrims go afoot to
Mount Fuji and the innumerable
shrines which dot the 1900 miles of
islands forming the empire. Yet this
land of wayfarers Is criss-crossed by
some Of the most modern, efficient
and well-appointed railroads of the
world, and up-to-the- minute bus lines
feed these and furnish transportation
between the smaller towns. Rail
fares. by the way, are probably the
UnrId'c f,a
low as quarter of a cent per mile.
And while japanese lakes, coastal wa
tiers and the inland sea bloom with
the colorful sails of ancient sampans,
great, modern liners tie the land to
the whole civilized world.
A fascinating and certainly modern
subject Is the taxi dancer and the
taxi dance hall; both have recently
been given much notice in film and
story. Here again Japan seems to
have gone its Western patterns one
better. The girls seem to be, on the
average. better looking, and on the
whole to have dignity and grace,
without loss of gayety, which we of
the West seldom find in such estab-
lishments. Toxic has eight of these
halls. employing about 1000 good
looking and graceful girls. Yokohama
has six, with 400 girls. while Kyoto,
! Osaka and Kobe have l6, with a total
Of close to 1000 girls. Here one may
dance to the latest jazz or swing
music with dainty and diminutive
beauties who know all the steps.

costume by many foreign groups that
make up the Creole City's population.
and a style show One of the typical
phases of the fiesta will be a sidewalk
display Of oil paintings and etchings
by New Orleans artists in the famed
Vieux Care. Along the banQuettes
(sidewalks) of the Rue Royale and the
Place D'Armes will stand the artists,
in colorful smocks and berets, with
their wares and all their bargaining
ability, an unusual scene in America
that smacks of the Partisan Latin
Quarter.
Synchronized as it is with Spring,
the New Orleans fiesta can be made a
point in a triangle journey which
touches characteristically Southern

In 1899, there were 10000 women

by making lace and embroidery that
were world renowned. But the re-

YUST over the glamour. the din

Gras, New Orleans is about to
- turn page in its always col

1t is a fiesta of many phases, but
bright flowers will dominate the spirit
as well as the scene.
4 DAPTABLE dates have been
atuned to natures own display.
Along the citys boulevards miles and
miles of Towering shrubs, camelias,
japonicas and crepe myrtle have been
planted. But the climax Of color in
this preview of Spring comes in the
flaming masses of azaleas, against a
background of oaks and palm trees.
This particular riot Of color will be
new to New Orleans visitors. Planted
in 1886, the azaleas are to bloom for
the first time this year.
Charming little detours from the
Floral Trail will take the amateur
garden worshippers from all over the
United States into the bright private
grounds of many New Orleans FAM
lilies. Cooperating with the fiesta
committee, they will open their flow-
ering sanctuaries to guided parties.
The tours will be without cost except
for transportation about the city.
More than 81 .000, 900 has been spent
within a year in adding floral beauty

according to a leading Hollywood
makeup artist, Makeup is used
skllliully in making up the mouth for

the contours of their own lips when

Take look at yourself in the hand

For example, Katharine Hepburn's
mouth shows her strength of character
