THE NEW HOME

Tokyo. -It may be true enough thnt the Japanoso lond "tho simple life." It is, howevor, no easy matter for the foreigner to adjust himself to Its trimPliclty It has taken us, In fact, threo woeks to do so. Our desire to bo within easy reach of Asakusa rendered tho securing of a house somewhat dlfllcult. Friends Insisted thnt noither in Asakuaa itself nor in tho neighborhood of Uyeno park were sanitary conditions of tho best They said that tho neighborhood of tho university, high and well drained, was tho nearest to be considered. But houses in that neighborhood are not easy to securo. Not infrequently pooplo wait for months before u satisfactory one Is to bo' had. But my friend Nagai's sister's husband, living In that district, ofTered to do his best to find a placo for us. Meantime we stayed nt our little Hotel Kunikonlya, -where everything was comfortable and purely of the country. Finally word came from Hasegawa that a house was ready for our inspection. The first impression was unfavorable. Tho house was much smaller than wo desired and tho space available for gardening connected with it limited. Anxious, however, to make our settlement as soon as possible, we agreed to take it It improved upon acquaintance, and a little experience almost seemed to show that It had been constructed with referenco to our needs. Mr. N'ngal and his sister were cood ! enough to go shopping with us. Of I course we bought no European articles, and our purchases included only arJ tides of immediate and pressing need. We have two sets of tables, one for ordinary use, the other for occasions

of ceremony. Tho former consists of brown wood traps a foot or so square nnd raised eight Inches high above tho lloor. Each person of course has his own tnble. so our common outfit cares for ourselves nnd a single guest The other sot consists of five square black lacquered trays, which set directly on tho floor. Five seems to be the dellnlto number which tho Japaneso consider suitable for a social occasion nnd food trays, tea cups, lacquered bowls, and all such things are regularly made up In sets of five. Plenty of these in variety and chopsticks made up our tablo equipment In nddltlon to the things necessary for meals, there was tho tea outfit of a teapot, hot water kettle, waste bowl and five cups. It is necessary in Japanese households to serve tea to every guest who may drop in on the most casual errand. Then there was of course the tabaco bon, with Its burning charcoal and bnmboo spittoon, for the convenience of smoker guests. Tho actual cooking outfit wns beyond us, and was left entirely to the cook, who. 1 fear, bought a motley outfit, ruined by European Influence. EntIng nnd Bleeping being tho two ultimate necessities, tho remaining shopping was devoted to the matter of bedding. Bedsteads of courso do not oxlst In our household economy. Thick quilts aro laid upon tho floor at night and a warm comfortable Is Inld over the sleeper. Pillows aro hard and solid rollers filled with rice chaff covered with velvet nnd protected by n cotton slip or cover. The sleeper wears at this season of the yenr a light cotton kimono; In winter ho has an extraordinarily thick and heavy qulltcy garment which completely covers him nnd extends well below tho foet Having moved In, wo complied with ordinary custom by sending OBOba to our neighbors. This caused a sensation nnd made a good Imnresslon, as It was not expected that "tho foreigner" would pay attention to the local custom. Our house Is Bltuated nt the end of a little blind lano bordered by great Hedges. There are thus neighbors on

each side of us and In front upon the street where our lane ends. We therefore had to sond osoba to the two neighboring houses on our right and loft, and to the threo houses In front of us. and also to tho agent from whom the house Is rented. We stopped at the osoba shop on our way back from shopping. They told us that elegant cuBtom demanded that wo should send threo "pieces" (three squaro wooden trays piled one upon the other with a wooden cover on top of all) to each house. It was possible to satisfy by sending those which cost three sen (l'A cents) apiece, but If wo were willing to pay the extra price, they could send osoba at seven sen apleco which would delight tho neighborhood. We ordered tho best sent, and that an extra outfit of four "pieces" should be delivered at our house so that tho cook's heart and stomach might bo gratified, and that we ourselves might have a chance to see what It is like. It was promptly delivered, and we found that osoba is a very slender vermicelli, delivered hot to all the houses, accompanied by plenty of sauce or Boy. Within the next 24 hours each and all of the favored neighbors and the renting agent made their formal acknowledgment and thanks to tho newcomers. Thus we moved Into our new home. At first everything was In charge of the old cook. His wife, who was to be also In our employ, did not come for several days, as she was completing a term of service elsewhere. Tho old man took good care of us, and long before she came we had become accustomed to our modo of living. Sweet beanB. rice, fish in variety, pickles of all kinds, the badly smelling daikon (a gigantic radish) nnd all the greut variety of soups so dear to the Japanese, had become familiar to us. Wo had oven made a variety of experimentson the wholo successful upon raw fish. It Is true that ono mcnl a day we partook of more or less European food bread, butter, milk, eggs and fruits. But on tho whole, we had done famously. When the old lady appeared, however, all changed. Both of tho old peoplo havo worked for years for American and European families, and know what's what It was with difficulty that tho old man had submitted so promptly to our orders. Tho old lady took control, and it would hnve been difficult for anyone to find much left of Japanese food in our dally menu. It Is true that ono or two dishes perhaps in each meal were somewhat as they should be. We havo been now in revolt for several days, and. In time, no doubt shall again restore conditions to their proper state. Just now our eating Is half and half. Our household Is yet far from complete. Our old man and woman nro old friends. In 1904. we snw them when wo stopped with Clement in whoso employ they were. Their oldfashioned simplicity and their homely Japanese style won us. and for all the period of planning our present enterprise they have been kept In mind. He Is little, old, lively and mercurial. Ho laughs and talks Incessantly. Ho Is half blind. He has had his ups nnd downs in life, but he knows what Is good custom among his people, since lie has corao In contact In his younger days with Important personages. His wife Is a simple country woman. She drosses in tho old style nnd has rustic simplicity. She Is accustomed to run things. Tho threo "foreign" services she has filled hnve been satisfactory to her employers, but only from tho fact that thoy have wisely capitulated. She puts a liberal construction upon her service nnd duties, and without hint or direction from us understands thnt she Is housekeeper, laundrens, tnllor, repnlrar and general manager. ( Neither of them talks English, and

' we speak no Japannno. no that moani j of detailed communication nro lackI lng. Wo sadly need a boy as Kenoral servant, but so far have not secured ! tne. Third in our list of holpors Is Mr. Aral, our goneral adviser Ho i knows tho things of old Japan. II is i conservative, yot enters heartily Into our schemes. It Is u!j duty to make arrangements He i not Juterpruter.

for lie knows too little English; but he knows what Is fit for us to buy. what Is suitable for me to do and have, and where tho things wo need are located. It is his duty to find such people as we nood to doal with. Lastly we havo a roador and literary assistant in a student from the univor&lty. KnJIwara, who knows English pretty well, but who knevw llttlo of tho things of old Japan. If esc could fuse him and Aral together the result would bo a fairly competent holpor. Nor was it a simple matter, either, to socure my Japanese dress. We had supposed that wo would go to oi c of the many ready made clothing establishments and select a suit in a few minutes. On the contrary it was a matter of three hours to arrange tho business. Everything had to be made to order, and the greatest care was taken in the selection of materials. We went to tho finest department storo in Japan. Less extensive than many such establishments In tho United States, in its character, its enterprise, and the quality of its goods it is quite comparable to our Marshall Field's. Not only quality but fltnes3 for my purpose were demanded In every piece of goods purchased by Mr. Aral. The haorl, or great outer garrrifint, the kimono, the Juban (or Inner kimono) and tho hakama or widelegged trousers, were each of different material. Not only did these materials have to be carefully selected, but tho question of lining for each was equally Important Even our bathtub has been a matter of serious concern. You know, of course, that in Japan the bathtub is of prime Importance. Every man, woman and child in the household should take a hot bath daily. Tho tub itself Is made of wood, and Is a remarkable piece of cooperage. It contains a little stove for heating the water. Frequently this Is so situated that the occupant of tho tub runs some risk of serious burning. The chnrcoal used In heating tho water gives off fumes, and Europeans at least consider this matter a somewhat serious one. Accordingly my advisers Insisted that tho tub should be made to order, first, that It might be sufficiently large for Its occupant, second, that risk of burning bo avoided, and third, that fumes be carried off. The cooper, upon Inspecting our proportion decided that the tub should be three inches longer and threo Inches higher thnn tho regulation. We had been told that Its cost If made to order, would be about ten yen. After making his Inspection tho cooper stated that tho price would be 10 Instead! Such are the disadvantages of being great. As a fact, there is some question whether tho bathtub may not bankrupt us. When It had been built, we received a bill of IS yen, which was paid under protest, but It was assumed that tho matter was a closed incident Noxt day. however, a new bill appeared for 2.50 yen. This was settlod grudgingly. Next day tho cook announced that tho tub wns so large that a tep ladder was necessary for proper use of it! "when paid for, this will make the. bathtub, which was to have cost tan yon. a matter of tnoro thnn twice that sum. Personally. I hate It for It looks as If It might bo suited for the swimming place of r-le-phants. and It is humiliating to think thnt such a construction was necessary In this land of little people. It Is. however, a work of art. with neat Joinery and a smokestack for carrying off the doath-threatening fumes. Bath customs for the Japanese demand that In the early evening tho tub should first be used by the master of the bouse; when ho has bathed tho other members In order of ngo or importance follow him, bathing In tho same water he has used. This sounds pretty dreadful, but In a land whero every individual takes a scalding bath dally, It Is actually not so bad. No soap whatever Is permitted lu tho bathtub, but the person bathing Is soaped and scrubbed outside and doused with hot water thoroughly. So wo are really launched. When we enter the house our shoes aro laid aside that mattings may not bo destroyed or soiled. Wo sit on cushions, kneeling with feet crossed under us; we write at llttlo desks a foot In height; wo cat at llttlo tables brought in for Individual uso while tho servant kneels upon tho ground before us, watching to satisfy our needs; at night tho quilts, pillows nnd kimonos nre brought out from tho closets whero they havo been stored during the dny and spread upon tho floor. Guests are required to submit to native regulations. Our old woman is under orders to servo tea and cakes to every visitor man. woman, or child. Both sho nnd tho old cook watch every movement with caro, nnd nothing pains them more than when tho master Is guilty of some awkwardness, or falls to recognize hla dignity. While we cannot understand tholr words we know qulto well when tho guest whom they announce Is one whom wo should meet upon tho threshold nnd there are few such Wo see little of our neighbors, but when we meet them, nil indulge In great formality. Next door tho mother and two llttlo girls nro always dressed In brilliant colors. Wo meet them as wo come nnd go. and sho has tnught the little ones to bow to us in proper style. It Is a pretty sight to see tho llttlo croaturos as they plnco their hands upon their Bkirts before them and solemnly bow tho head and upper body. (CopyrlKht. 1310, by W, O. Cbapraaa.

An Easy Fit. r A number of years ago there lived In northern New Hampshire a notorious woman-hater. It was beforo the 1 day of ready-made clothing, and wanting a new suit, ho was obliged to take tho material to tho village talloress. Sho took his measurements, and when sho cut the coat, mado a liberal allowance on each scam. Tho man's dislike of women in general prevented his having a fitting. Ho took tho finished garment without trying it on. It was much too large, and his disgust was apparent in the answer ho made to tho friendly loafer on, hl3 first visit to the post office, when ho wore the despised article. "Got a new coat, Obed?" said tho loafer. "No, I hain't!" said Obed. "I've got seven yards of cloth wrapped round mc." Youth's Companion. Aromatic Effects.

There is one man In the United States who has perhaps heart! more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. It. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their expectations is proved by the fact that ninety-right per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if tho cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a- million women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal.

and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first ot specialists in the treatment of women's diseases. Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely without charge. All replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without any printing or advertising whatever, upon them.
