Some years ago a Japanese painter

Tokyo u picture of the cupital as seen

entitled It "A City of Hoofs," unil the
title was an apt one. Kacli roof meas

houses, and the exquisite cleanliness
of Japanese personal habits, one might
not unfairly compare Tokyo to a city
. of iienvoops.
. 1 Save for one main street, the world
fnnious tllnza, which Is the Broadway
of Tokyo, the city's streets are unite
unpuved. in the wet season the sur
. face mud is so deep anil sticky that
it will Ruck a pair of low shoes off
a European's feet. The Japanese do
not mind the iniid, because they wear
wooden pattens or geta in the wet sea
son. The deeper the mud, the bigger
the geta.
The streets are merely narrow lanes
between the hencoops, so narrow that
one can almost touch either side by
"stretching the arms. Right und left
of the street are deep ditches of un
speakable tilth bridged by stone flags
at the entrance to each house or shop.
After all, medieval London was
hardly better. Ami the truth about
Jupan Is that still today it Is medie
val, both In Its absence of sanitation
and Its morality. t
At the very first glance n European
arriving In Yokohama or Tokyo recog.
nlzos'thls medievalism. The coolies,
the rickshawinen, the workln? class,
are clad in Jerkin and blue lights;
they might, hut for their Mongol faces,
be "supers" in the conventional stage
setting of . "Henry IV."
To Imagine Tokyo or any other .Tnp
onesc city properly one might first
Imagine London in the Fourteenth cen
tury, and then Imagine that London
, equipped with every modem appliance
save paving and sanitation, with
trams, electric railways, the tele
phone and electric lights. " But to
complete the picture one must imagine
a deeoratlvp, graphic and architectural
art as living and spontaneous and gra
cious as that of London of the Four
teenth century.

"I went up to a drug store soda
