Supper Was Spoiled! 
“Wallie stooped swift¬ 
ly and gripped the long 
handle of the frying 
pan. He swung it as 
he would have swung a 
tennis racket, knocking 
the six-shooter from 
Boise Bill’s hand, and 
jumped across the fire at 
him in a frenzy of rage.” 
Read how Wallie, the 
porch-darling, becomes 
a real man in

led by the men-at-arms 
and followed by Fray 
Juan, passed the heavy 
door, Dolores fell limp 
at the feet of Isabella, 
while Gorgoza smiled 
and slowly slid his 
rapier back into its jew¬ 
eled scabbard.” 
Find out why the young 
gallant was condemned 
to “the deepest dun¬ 
geon,” and what hap¬ 
pened then in

A Wedding in Japan 
As It Was Before the Earthquake — Fall Patterns 
I N contrast to the reports of earth¬ 
quake, fire and tidal wave, recent¬ 
ly coming from Japan, is the account 
of a wedding ceremony witnessed by 
Miss Mary Miles, a Presbyterian mis¬ 
sionary, which is described in a let¬ 
ter just received in this country. It 
also suggests the devastation which 
must have been wrought not only 
among the native homes and estates, but 
in the extensive and impressive build¬ 
ings, largely educational, erected in 
Japan by the gift of Americans. 
Miss Miles states that the wedding 
reception was at the home of Baron 
Iwasaki, said to be “the wealthiest man 
in Tokyo.” 
The groom, Mr. Sawada, employed 
in the Government foreign office, had 
been educated abroad and was of the 
Friends (Quaker) faith. The bride 
was also a Christian, so the Christian 
ceremony was used, at the groom’s de¬ 
sire. There were ushers and eight 
bridesmaids, all attired in rose-colored 
kimonos, on which were painted sym¬ 
bolic designs depicting white clouds 
with golden linings, and flying storks 
holding in their beaks branches of pine. 
The bride wore the regulation cere¬ 
monial black kimono, which represented 
many years of exquisite handwork in 
gold and silver embroidery, and her 
black pompadour was adorned with dia¬ 
mond tiara und combs. 
The bridal party and seventy invited 
guests were taken, after the church 
ceremony, in limousines to the estate 
of Baron Iwasaki, which has been in 
his family for generations and around 
which the city of Tokyo has grown up. 
Baron Iwasaki owns a huge foreign 
brick house, covering two, ana a half 
acres, furnished in a luxurious com¬ 
bination of Japanese and foreign archi¬ 
tecture, with many costly paintings and 
some pieces of good sculpture in the 
house and grounds. The grounds com¬ 
prise twenty-one acres of gardens, en¬ 
closed entirely by high brick and con¬ 
crete walls, and laid out in typical 
Japanese style, with artificial moun¬ 
tains, lake and islands, connected by 
rustic or stone bridges. 
In true Oriental style, the letter 
states, . after the reception all of the 
guests received beautiful baskets of 
flowers and were conveyed back to their 
homes in modern limousines. 
Church and school buildings erected 
by American gifts have been complete¬ 
ly or largely destroyed. Most foreign 
mission stations include important hos¬ 
pital buildings, but there has not been 
the necessity for these in Japan, which 
has been very progressive in adopting 
modern scientific medical work. How¬ 
ever, in no country in the world has 
there been of late years such a strenu¬ 
ous demand for the best in education, 
and the missions have largely con¬ 
centrated on erecting this type of build¬ 
ings. Japan has thirty-three colleges 
for men, but up to 1918 had none for 
women. In that year the non-sectarian 
Woman’s Christian College of Japan 
was started at Tokyo. Two hundred 
and five women from all part!?*of the 
empire immediately applied for admis¬ 
sion, far exceeding the capacity of the 
single large wooden house which then 
constituted the college. 
It had been expected that the college 
would move into its first set of new 
buildings, provided for by a joint fund 
raised by American and Canadian 
women interested in missions, on the 
day the disaster occurred.—E. E. 
The Broad Highway 
(Continued from page 255) 
it wise to appear unconscious of this, 
I nodded affably, and letting myself 
down from the hay, was next moment 
standing beside him. 
“Supposin’ I was to thump ’ee on the 
nose?” he inquired. 
“What for?” 
“For makin’ so free wi’ my hay.” 
“Why then,” said I, “I should earn¬ 
estly endeavor to thump you on yours.” 
The farmer looked me slowly over 
from head to foot, with a dawning 
surprise. 
“Thought you was a common tramp- 
er, I did,” said he. 
“Why, so I am,” I answered, brush¬ 
ing the clinging hay from me. 
“Trampers o’ the road don’t wear 
gentlemen’s clothes—leastways, I never 
see one as did.” Here Pis eyes wan¬ 
dered over me again, from my boots 
upward. Half-way up, they stopped, 
evidently arrested by my waistcoat, a 
flowered satin of the very latest cut. 
“That be a mighty fine weskit, sir!” 
“Do you think so?” said I. 
“Ah, that I do—w’at might he the 
cost of a weskit the like o’ that, now?” 
“I paid forty shillings for it, in Lon¬ 
don, scarcely a week ago,” I answered. 
“Gammon!” said he. 
“None the less, it’s true,” said I. 
“Any man as would give forty shil¬ 
lin’ for a garment as is no mortal good 
agen the cold—not reachin’ fur enough, 
even if it do be silk, an’ all worked wi’ 
little flowers—is a dommed fool!” 
“Assuredly!” said I, with a nod.
