In- stead! of doing so he used almost ex- actly the terms in which Washington‘s refusal .was couohled, and this, said a high official to a representative of the Associated Press, ”is all the more surprising, considering that the Wash- ington officials had not the slightest inkling- of what England’s attitude would be.” In the oval frame is pictured a low table spread with paper, the place‘ where all Japanese marriages are sol- emnized. The table is decorated with bamboo stalks and plum twigs and blossoms, and at each corner rises a spray of pine. The pine and the bamboo being evergreens repre- sent that in which there is neither variability nor shadow of turning; the . plum on the other hand stands for;S that which buds, blossoms and fruits for the good of man. The decorations of the paper table cover are the crane and the tortoise; of these the' bird is symbolic of 1,000 years and! the turtle of 10,000 years.

That is the way the Japanese set forth the meaning of the picture on the new stamp and for confirmation they point to the legend, which they etoutly aver is a statement of the name of the prince and the princess and the date when they sipped the nine cups of said.

SPARKS PM {HE W8 of the 0._ The color of the wall papers and hangings of rooms affects the temper and disposition of those who live in them: to a far greater degree than most (people imagine. Light and cheerful colors may not be the most economical as far as wear goes, but they are invaluable aids from a health point of view. Gray or greenish tawn or brown tones, when they predomin- ate, are depressing to live with, al- though! they may be cool looking and refreshing for a short time. So, too, are dull hangings, such as browns and Edark purples, which simply irritate by itheir hopeless dreariness and dull- i ness. There is an old rose or crushed ’strawberry color, too, which gets rsimply exasperating after one has [seen it frequently. Landlords con- sider it a good wearing color, and think that it shows advanced taste, but after a little it simply gets on one’s nerves, and the sufferer does not know what ails her. For real cheer- fulness there is no color like a warm yellow for a room, while sage green or pinkâ€"rose pink, of courseâ€"also make charming interiors. People who are isensitive to color effects feel excessive- Lly unhappy in rooms papered in dis- tractin' colors.
