1 ft thai tBtci'fjttlnr' experience of
h-awter aa reluted in The Caterer
Da Ketvikaepers' Gazette:
"A sett aa I arrived 1 was con
s dscta by the polite hostess Into .the
sale osestroom, which looked out
pan the cool orchard of a tensile.
'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."

There is In strictness no such thing
Is a Jugo-Slnv. 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.
Pnnllne Lord went to call on Wil

just before he set sail for Europe.
"What's your salary?" demanded
Harris, after the other detnlls had
been discussed. Miss Lord told hhn.
"OuchT' decried the mnnager, winc
ing at the sum.
"Why, don't yon think I'm worth
It?" Miss Lord asked.
"Yes," admitted Harris, "but I didn't
think you did."

"Deed he did, boss." (
"How far did he kick you?"
"Watcher mean, boss?"
"How fur were you from him after
