(Iriatcst Department Store in Asia
Across Ijroni the fish market, and
i untouched bv the piscatorial scent
which pei vuilcs it, rises the mo.lern
building of the Mitsukushi department
store. If 1 coulil describe it m some
viiRue, impersonal way, I would do it;
but this moik-rn store is so different
from anything el:;e in Japan, that any
one would know the store 1 described.
Hut '.he- MitsukosM store is worthy
of discription, even if some enthusi
astic reader should use this article as
a Riiide to shopping in Tokyo. The
bijr. siplit of the store to me is tho
spotless mattini; that covers every
floor. The floor is never trodden by
the filthy shoe uf out-doors. The Jap
anese put on liifht slippers and remove
their geta or clogs and the foreigners
have foot coverings put on over their
shoos, just as thou;;)) they wero visit
ing the Mosque of Omar or Salndin's
tomb. l'Yom the toof one can see the
trreat city spread out on all sides and
a constant stream 01 visitors use me
lipid elevators that carry them to tha
sixth floor. In the roof garden, where
a fountain plays tnd !in orchestra tries

an American soda fountain one can Bit
aiid listen to the band and cut ice
cream that is fairly Rood or drink
soda water that reminds you of Soc
rates. Cleopatra and Lucretia Borgia.
I A conservatory attracts many who
buy the seeds and potted plants, and
I there is a ceremonial tea room where
notable guests are entertained. You
can have a good photograph taken in
the sky-high gal!ary and get tha pic
tuies an hour later, when you hav
finished the tour of the store. Like
the raw materials in r. modern factory
we were lifted to the top by an ele
vator and descended 1 y gravity.
On the fifth floor some kind of an
art exhibit is always in progress.
Mail chutes convey the letters from
the offices to th'j big box on the grou
nd floor. Toys in the thousand bright
colors of Japan mako the next floor
a Liliputian Paradise, and there is a
big restaurant. Some rooms are fitted
up as models in the Japanese style
and some in the fore'gn style, which
doubles the expenses of the man who
would be cosmopolitan in his tastes.

Christian Herald.
For
Breakfast
There's a reason for every smile in
the picture. Louise Fazenda has Just
signed a new Keystone contract Bes
sie Love has heard that folks like ber
newest play, "The Heiress at Coffee
Dan's." Seena Owen well, Seena Just
miles all day long. She's Mrs. George
.Walsh off the screen, and there's a
very recent little addition to the Walsh
family that would make any mother
proud and happy. Alice Lake is get
ting some roles In Triangle comedies
that would please an even more aspir
ing young comedienne than she. Dor
othy Dalton and Clara Williams have
been picked out by Thomas H. Ince
for stellar roles in some of the biggest
plays that will be produced under his
supervision during the year to come.
So, as anybody can see, they are six
very happy girls, and young Mr. 1917
looks good to them as they welcome

WHAT IS PATRIOTISM? TO BK
DISCLSSUI) BY FAMOUS MEN
New York, Jan. 29. All the girls
are waxing most enthusiastic over
sealing wax. Even the butcher, the
baker and the candlestick maker, aside
from their first natural' surprise at
having their bills paid at all, are
doubly stunned at receiving the:r
checks in envelopes dashingly sealed
v-ith monogramnicd splotches of vivid
wax.
You see, the dear girls are practic
ing on everybody just to perfect theii
art of making a good impression.

This meeting is called The Congress
of Constructive Patriotism, is under
the auspices of the National Security
League and is aimed to better military,
naval and industrial preparedness in
the United States. There are seventy
three delegates from New York City
alone.
The subject is to be discussed in a
non-partisan, non-political spirit.

With the lovely new paper embossed
with a monogram or crest in a con
trasting or darker tone in the upper
left corner it is a last artistic touch to
seal the envelopes, lined with the same
color as the embossing, with the same
shade of sealing wax in which the
imprint of the smart crest or mono
gram is set.
Buff colored paper, monogramnicd,
envelope lined, and oealed in golden
brown is a favorite color scheme, as to be about 1,000 delegates present.

white in the same manner is also
charming and refreshing although apt
to have a cooling effect even on an
ardent swain.
Of course the perfection of the col
or scheme is further carried out by
having the tapers where one melts the
wax partake of the same chosen hue
and the quill pen wherewith one
writes must also perforce be colored
likewise. Really the only blow to the
color scheme is handed out heartless
ly by the United States of America.
It is indeed very inconsiderate of
the government not to have different
tontd stamps to fit in with the color
scheme of one's stationery. Fancy
having to suffer the clash of a red
two-cent stamp, a jarring note to mar
the perfect symphony of your grey
and purple notes.
The soul of the artistic letter writer
must writhe indeed to set a red stamp
in the margin of a Wedgewood enve
lope. Really the only way out is to
be extravagant and use five-cent
stamps on the blue notes and a col
lection of one-cent one's on lettuce
effects.

Consideration
Because he was a friend in need
To earth's down-trodden brotherhood
Because he reconized no creed
' In his attempt to do some good;
Because his every thought and word
And act disclosed to all his clan
That he, by noble motives stirred,
Was one who loved his fellow man
God would not let pain rack his breast
When his soul struggled to be free,
But, folding his worn hands in rest,
He sent Death for him quietly.
Ralph M. Thompson, in The Chris

The River and the Tree
"You arc white and tall and swaying,"
sang the river to the tree,
"And your leaves are touched with sil
ver but you never smile on me;
For your branches murmur love songs
to the sun-kissed turquoise sky
And you seem so far above me that I
always hurry by!"
"You arc laughing in your shallows,
you somber in your deeps,
And below your shinning surface
there's a heart that never sleeps;
But all day you pass me dancing, and
at evening time you dream,
'And I didn't think you like me," sang
the birch-tree to the stream.
So they got a bit acquainted on a
glowing summer day,
And they found they liked each other,
(which is oftentimes the way);
And the river got so friendly, and it
ran so very slow,
That the birch-tree shone reflected in
the water down below!
