Kojlnui enters the garden and, I'uttlng away sonvQ of the, biirk from a cherry tree, writes njion the white spot the message which only the Emperor will understand. Jfr. Ongawa made tho story very artistic in his Interpre tive dance accompanieil by Mrs. On- gnwa at the Samisen, Mrs. Ongawa then told a little story of the "Jlonkey and jellyfish.” and Mr. Ongawa followed her with a few ‘'np‘ side downs,” in which he described how the .Japanese differ from the Amer- Icians. In Japan the people go to bed when we get up; they read their hooks from the bottom of the page to the top, and begin them at the back. Two charmingly rendered songs— iin ancient love song, "Jloonlight ami Waves.” and “Lady Picking Mulber ries,” were sung by Mrs. Ongawa. One of the most dellKhttul spots in the program was the folk dancing, tiie first of which was the formal dance followed by ihe Interpretive donee, “Cho, Clio” (Butterliies) by Mra, Ongawa. Mrs. Ongawa. In speaking of feminine fashions, said that when in Japan If a lady wishofl a new dress, she would not look through the fashion books for a uew i)attern (for all the klinonoK are nuide lust alike and the same size) but for a new design. When she (Inds tho design which pleases her, she will havH it made inro cloth and then have (hi? stonr-li broken, so that no other lady could have a kimono just like hers. The Japanese cannot use the Ainerk'an expression, •‘soniethiug np niy sleeve” hnt have to say “somethlug down my sleeve,” for their sleeves reach nearly to the floor, since the longer the sleeve, the higher tho rank. The pevformancG closed with a clever nue-act pliiy, "The Fox Woman,” whose heroine is a cunning red fox which has taken the form of a woman, and corresponds to the wltcli of Western legends. This play Is an example of Ihe Intc’st development of dramatic art In .lapiui. i'ollowiuK closely the realistic methods Of the West. l\lr. and -Mrs. Ongawa were received widi a groat deal of enthusiliism by Iho Raleigh iindience.

We don’t have intercol legiate athlctlcs, so [ suppose some of us think it necessary to exhibit our prowess by such methods. The ten nis courts would be far better to work off our surplus energy, and bitting the ball Is much better than being bawled for a hit yourself. Then, loo, our ; costumes are not always all that they should he. Doubtless there are sights to bo seen, but shall we afford the s'"’enes to be sighted? Some of our win dows are attracting far too much at tention, and it would he a wise plan for all of us to adopt si safe policy as regards them.
