There large departmental stores are similar to ours; perhaps they are a little more attractive because of the artistic touch that 'is so evident in every department. Then, too, the clerks were decidedly dif- ferent, dressed in kimonos and wearing their wooden 'shoes. Most of these stores have loyely roof gardens, where the customers may go up to read, rest or chat. The Japanese must have their gradens, even if it is just one potted plant. These plants or "Bonsai", which are really small trees, are reared very carefully and command a large price, It was fun to shop in these stores, for so few clerks could speak However, it is surprising how much can be said with one's hands. I went with one girl who wished to purchase a kimono. Before we had been there many minutes we were surrounded by a great number of people, all chuckling and giggling at us. I was really sur- prised that we foreigners were so openly noticed. I had always under- stood that the Japanese could keep their faces from expressing their feelings. But apparently we were too much for their sense-of humour, Through friends, I was able to crowd a great many sights and ex- periences into the limited time spent in Japan. We travelled by bus, underground railway, electric trains, and by automobile, On the bus Japanese girls collected the tickets. Whenever we stopped, the girls would start speaking in a little piping voice. 'I decided she was calling the name of the stopping place, and was perhaps warning the pas- sengers "to watch the step." My interpretation was not at all correct I discovered, for her words were asking the passengers' pardon for hav- ing to stop, but she promised, they would soon be on their way again. (3 One of the most breath-taking places of beauty for me, was "Cajoen", an exclusive hotel for wealthy Japanese. It would not have meant so much, had not one of our friends been able to interpret for us, Of course, we had to take our shoes off before stepping inside. We started at the kitchen and went through a series of rooms, each one a little more beautiful than the last. Their rooms are bare as far as furniture is con- cerned. The walls are made up of panels. Sometimes each panel was a separate picture or work of art, and sometimes it took all the panels around the room to complete the picture. In this place the ceilings were decorated also. In one room the walls and ceiling were sectioned into squares. In each square was a circle in which was painted one of their favorite flowers, such as chrysanthemums, poppy, cherry blossom, magnolia, etc, Sometimes these.wall decorations were carved. One part of the building 'was finished in black lacquer, with inlaid mother-of- pearl,. forming the pictures of fish, flowers, blossoms and vines, The iridescent mother-of-pearl, with the rich black lacquer as a background, was a work of art not easily forgotten. I felt it sacrilege to walk over it, for the floor was finished this way as well as the walls and ceiling. Sometimes in a room there would be a recess in the wall, where a vase would be displayed. The bareness of the rest of the room allowed the observer to get the full heauty of the vase. No room is ever cluttered. That is one of the big lessons I felt we might get from the Japanese. Often the whole side of a room consists of windows, which slide back, allowing the room to open to a garden or street. A view of the beautiful garden in connection with this building, could be had from every room. In it were masses of shrubs and trees of all varieties. = Fig trees,- magnolias and fine-leafed maples were a few. Vividly coloured flowers, like the azalea were almost over, so that I just had to imagine the picture This garden was built on a slope and was replete with winding pathways, little bridges, trickling waterfalls and. pools, filled with large goldfish. Stone lanterns were placed so that their lights would shine on the water. A beautiful Japanese garden is-one that is as true to a natural setting as possible. meandering along woodsy stretches, I felt as if I were in Ontario again. Imagine my surprise when I was told that they had all been made by hand. Each stone, which looked as if it had always rested there, had When I saw, some of their little creeks 0 Build Trade OC 0 00 0 A a Tt & p Po Woy Nar 2 Soi 0 > rw ny ATR been carefully placed in that particular position. (To be continued. ) SHIRLEY WOMEN'S INSTITUTE BRANCH HELD THEIR FIRST NEEDLECRAFT COURSE. A five-day Needlecraft Course was held recently at Shirley, under the auspices of the Dept. of Agriculture, Women's Institute Branch, and con. ducted by Miss Evelyn Frisch, a very charming and clever young needle: woman. 34 This course emphasizes decorative stitchery on linens and clothing. The = class learned the different methods of pattern making, stamping and tracing designs and initials. They worked the cross-stitch and other or- namental designs in colours on linen; they learned to do open cutwork, ma- deira designing, eyelet, and satin stitch, also joining materials by fagoting. : They were taught variations of smocking, such as the outline stitch, cable and double cable stitches, honey- combing on plain and plaid materials. Miss Frisch also demonstrated mending runs in silk stockings with a crochet hook. The members are planning to dis- play their work at a W. I.-meeting in . the near future. This Needlecraft Course is very worth-while and Shirley Women's In- stitute highly recommend it to other Institutes who are planning to- take a short course this year, Write 'Miss McDermand, Dept. ot Agriculture, Institutes Branch, Par- liament Bldgs, Toronto, if you are interested.
