'Cushions were brought In, and .bright kimonos. I took off my dusty English clothes, and put on first the lower klinona, made of cotton; and then gaudy silk one, bright with the colors -at the hotel. "The room, like all Japanese rooms, was bare except for a single decora tion. There Is always a special coiner lor the room's ornament, which Is sometimes a vase of flowers, some times a piece of cblna, sometimes sim ply a painting upon silk or a woodcut. The subjects are not seldom snch ns bring a blush to the European cheek, but they have no such effect on the Japanese, who seem more concerned with tlie arrangement than the sub ject of the ornaments. There are trlrt roles for decoration; It Is laid down, for example, that flowers of dif ferent colors should not he mixed In one vase. "At length, because I was famishing, a low table and a brazier were brought In end set In front of me and my cushions. "Every time I thought I bad finished, the .hostess or one of tlie maids would trip In with another tray of dishes end put them before me on the table. Bad I not been able to use chopsticks before, I should certainly have become expert by the end of that meal. I "A little 'while after the meal for t did end at Inst I was told that the batb was ready. I was taken to the open courtyard and Introduced to the hrrangeinents there. "Two huge barrels were sunk In the earth, one filled with hot, the other with cold water. There was a thin screen on two sides not against pry ing eyes, but simply to keep off the wind. Indeed, as I began to take off ray kimonos an interested audience of both sexes turned to watch me. This was unpleasant, and I did my best to dodge their gaze behind the screen. 1 "I might have saved myself the trouble. A moment later, In reply to the calls ' of the Innkeeper and Ills .wife, their daughter came up hastily to bathe me, as her duty was. She was not In the least embarrassed and I soon had other things to worry me, for when, at the young lady's direction.. 1 let myself down Into the hot tub I discovered thnt. In the usual Japanese fashion, the heat of the water In It was not less than 115 degrees Fahren heit. "Up to my neck In thnt hot both I Suffered exquisite torture, which turned to the most exquisite agony when I Stepped on the still hotter kettle lying on the bottom of the tub. The Inn keeper's daughter pulled me out, red as a lobster and very neurly boiled. She dropped me, more dead than nllve, . Into the cold tub, pulled me out again, and dried me. "Then she bowed politely, and left toe to return to my room." j Hubands Are Hoping. Recently an Irvlngton woman in tlted spW of her friends hi plnff cards during' the afternoon.

Thero are Serbs, Croats nnd Slovenes, all of whom speak the same language, with varia tions, and are now of the same na tionality. There Is a religions ques tion among Jugo-Slavs, which has, on occasion, been stressed by the Intrigu ing Imperialist politicians on the bor ders who have been anxious to pre vent national unity, the Serbs being of the Greek, or Orthodox church, nnd the Croats and Slovenes of the Itomsn church. There are no more than 12, 000,000 of them altogether, but the territory of the new notion Is larger than that of Great Britain. ' Making Thrift Compulsory. In the police courts of New York state It Is getting to be a common practice to sentence minor offenders to a term of saving, and In Syracuse last year $5,000 was Invested In this way In War Savings stamps, all Inter returned to the men or used to help their fnmillcs. At Niagara Falls, when Dnvld Broderlck was placed on proba tion six months ago nnd ordered to gtve the probation officer $12 a week for War Savings stumps, he com plained bitterly. At the end of six mouths he received $230.50 worth of stamps, and he voluntarily placed him self on Indefinite probation, promising to bring $10 a week to continue his savings investment Outguessed Him.
