that the figures are all life size.

The next tableau, showing the Nara period (709-784 A. D.) is Illustrative

of the epoch when intercourse was

begun with Korea and China; when Buddhism was first introduced and art and learning spread rapidly over

the land enriching the landscapes of

these mysterious Isles with countless

and magnificent temples and pagodas.

The figures shown are arousing the echoes with music and are wearing the actual costumes docned by their

forbears in those far off days.

On again to the time of the remov

al of the court to Kyoto (794 A. D.)

and the fall of the Fujiwara family

(1050 A. D. ). These were known

respectively as the Heian and the Fu

tnree tableaux. The first shows a hand

WISS WISE SERVANT. the Was Too Well Posted to Suit the Now York Woman. "Some girls may be green and easily Imposed upon." said the woman, "but just as many more can' give their employers points on law. The. girl that came to my bouse the other day, from an employment agency knew more In a minute about the rights of employer and employed than 1 would know In a year. About the first thing she did was to look out at that big hole in the ground at the other end of the lot, where they are preparing to build. She said: " 'If l should break any dishes while that building Is going up you couldn't make me pay for them.' "I asked why not, and she informed me that a girl working In a building that is likely to. be shaken by blasting Is protected by the same rule that governs employees In a dining car. Owing to the Insecurity they are allowed $20 a month for breakage. Dishes valued at less than $20 may be smashed with Impunity. She gave me a printed account of the trouble of two friends who had thrashed that matter out In

court and had been sustained In their

contention for a twenty dollar leeway.

I didn't employ that girl. 1 don't want to Impose upon any girl, but I didn't want to hire one who knows that she can smash my best dishes up to $20 worth and get off without paying damages." New York Press.
