In the course of the annual re- vizion of the Catalogue Bibliotheque Nationale here a remarkable ancient | manuscript setting forth rules for feminine beauty came to light, The book, which dates trom the fifteenta: century in Haly, has attracted a great deal of attention not only in learned circles but also from the sex with which it deals. One of th» most curious passages is the ingeni- ous classification of female charms in groups of three. “To be beautiful,” says the work. woman must have the following: “Three white things—skin, hands and teeth. “Three black things—eyes, lashes and eyebrows, “Three pink things—lips, gums and nails. “Three and hair. “Three short things—teeth, ears and tongue. “Three wide things—forehead, shoulders and intelligence. “Three narrow things — waist, mouth and ankles. “Three delicate lips and mind. eye- long things—Ilife, hands things—fingers, World Has Littie Use for Them.

At the end of the third day I was perfectly willing to take for granted every other Shinto temple and cherry tree and stone lantern in Japan. Not until the ninth day did the worm turn. I had been trying to hint tactfully for some time that 12 hours a day of steady sightseeing was no more enjoyable than 12 hours a day of steady feasting, that one needed time in between to assimilate impres- sions; but my subtleties fell on deaf ears. The eighth night we passed in a Japanese sleeper, a complicated form of torture not easily described. We dragged ourselves out at 6:30 In the morning after a sleepless night of tor- ment, and began our weary round of sightseeing. It was at 6:30 that even- ing that the worm, which was I, turn- ed, I was hungry, tired, cold, wretched, bedraggled, with every nerve crying out for shelter; a hot bath, clean clothes and bed. The wind, which at all times blows bleak and dust laden in Japan, had been tugging all day at my hat and hair. When Charles said we would now visit the Sacred Island I replied: “We will do no such thing. We will now go back to the hotel and have dinner and go to bed.” And we did. We are now on shipboard, five days out from Yokohama, with the usual contrast of nothing to do except critl- cise our fellow-passengers. Some time I am going to write a realistic account of Japan to offset the Innumerable sentimental accounts that are in circulation. The first reve- lation I shall make i8 the fact, which the Lafcadio Hearn enthusiasts all ig- nore or overlook, that 97 per cent of the Japanese populace have colds in their heads and sniffle. The usual sentimental gush, as you know, is this: “What wonderful lit- tle people the Japanese are! You know, they don't heat their houses; the bathe all the year around in the open air, and they wear the same clothes summer and winter!” They do. And they all sniffle. 1 will try to explain the Japanese fdea of physical comfort. You arrive at a Japanese hotel for luncheon. The smiling proprietor and his staff greet you with a dozen bows aplece and in- drawing of their breaths. You are ushered finto a frigid mausoleum, which is the parlor. In half an hour luncheon will be served. In the meantime you pace up and down and wish you might discover a mirror or a washstand or a place to powder your nose, Is anything lacking to your honor- draws in her breath and triumphantly | places a sprig of cherry blossoms in a yellow vase! The chief difference between home and Japan scems to be this: When our old crabapple trees and Thomp- son's two cherry trees bloom we re- mark: “How nice!” and go out and sniff at them enjoyably on Sunday afternoon and bring in a spray for the table. When two cherry trees bloom in Japan the mikado declares a na- tional holiday, the whole nation goes en fete; the schools are dismissed, processions are held day and night; Japanese poets with fillets in their hair charge up and down the land, chanting their verses, and 600 Amenr fcan tourists photograph the phe nomenon. We landed in Tokyo in the midst of one of these festivals on a typically bleak, raw day while gusts of chill rain and wind swept the streets. A concourse of mad poets, school chil- dren, runners, wrestlers and other su- pernumeraries were lugging a Shinto temple through the streets, dancing and chanting around it and inditing peans of praise. They all looked blue and half frozen. And they all coughed or sniffied. In the evening we saw a geisha dance. I am glad to have seen it. I am sure the first thing every woman I know who has been to Japam will sty when she sees me is: “Oh, my dear, and did you see the geisha? Wasn't the dancing perfectly fascinat- ing? The most charming thing, I be- lleve, in Japan! But then, of course, _all of Japan is charming, isn't it?" | I can reply, yes; I saw the geisha. | Aside from that satisfaction I don't | know why one should care to see them. Imagine a line of shuffiing bolsters, with a sash around the middle of each, sliding out upon the stage on end and striking one deliberate, sllly posture after another, while a side line of im- passive objects, seated cross-legged on the floor, twang comb music and emit spasmodic caterwauls and you have the world-famous geisha.—Chicago Dally News. ®HE EVENING fELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., APRIL 11, 1912. WHY CLARENCE RESISTED. “What is your name, little boy " asked the teacher. “I'll have to write it for Vyou, ma'am,” said the new boy, hesitat- ingly. 1 think not. My hearing is quite good. Your name, please?’ “I'd rather not tell you.” “*Are you ashamed of your name?’ **No, ma'am, but—" “Then we will not waste any more time, if you please, I am waiting.” The boy began desperately: “Kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-C'larence! That's my first name. The other is Pup-pup- pup-pup-Perkins! 1 never stutter 'cept when I'm speaking my nam-, and when I'm nagged like this I'm a whole lot worse, ma'am.”—House- Keeper, Old City Well Uncovered.
