CAN YOU SIT WELL ON KNEES?
If not*, You Are Not Eligible as a Guest
at One of These Novel and Fascln*
natlng Festivities in Mikadoland.
Japanese luncheons and entertain
ments have recently come Into popu
larity, and during cherry blossom time,
when this favorite blossom of the
Mikado's Kingdom is available, enter
tainments are given. Artificial cherry
blossoms may always be had, too.
Contrary to the average person's
preconceived ideas of Japanese decor:
atlons, the latter are, correctly, ex
tremely simple, for, instead of a room
or house full of variegated lanterns,
gay-colored vases, quaint bowls and
a profusion of bamboo settees, chairs,
etc., the arrangement is extremely
plain. All seats, except \yell-padded
pillows, are removed from the rooms
where the guests are to be entertained,
no pieces of furniture are left to ob
struct free passageway, and there are
no plants or floral decorations, except
a few branches of cherry blossoms
prettily arranged in ornamental vases

and placed at either end of the apart

the sides of the walls pretty pillows of
silk, bright-colored cretonnes or those
on satin with gold and silver braid
In Japanese effects are placed, one

to be used in real "Jap” style—feet

Showed Their Stockings.
To keep the room from looking bare,
and; incidentally, to copy exactly the
smart houses In Japan, beautiful
screens, attractive for their remark
able needlework and portrayal of dec
orative art, are plaoed, against the
walls. Women who do not possess
these will have little difficulty in se-,
curing them from dealers in the city
for an afternoon, and will find that
the rental Is comparatively small.
With the screens and pillows In
place, the rooms are ready for the
guests. If possible, the hostess should
have matting on the floor, and that of
as fine a quality as she can procure.
There should be plenty of thick pad
ding under it, for the softer It Is the
more comfortable for those who sit
on the pillows.
One of the women In the smart set
who recently invited her/frlends to a
Japanese luncheon, sta/.d on the in
vitation that-she would provide them
with the regulation Oriental costume,
and that they were expected to^y/ar
sandals such as are used In Japan.
These were left at the entrance to
the reception room, according to na
tive custom, and the women, all in
handsome stockings, walked around
without any other , protection than
these thin silk hose.
A person who could not afford to
have elaborate costumes for her
guests could get bright-colored printed
stuffs with chrysanthemums, on red,
yellow or purple backgrounds, furnish
vivid ribbons for sashes, and real
flowers for the hair, and the entertain
ment would be as picturesque as could
be desired. It might be well for the
hostess to add to her invitations that
practicing sitting according to the
Japanese would be an advantage', In
the ease with which the women occu
pied their pillows, and might, incident
ally, prevent some uncomfortable Btlft-
ness the following day.
When all have been received by the
hostess, they seat themselves and talk
until the luncheon Is served on dainty
lacquer trays. Every dish is real Jap
anese, served in the most correct way
and eaten with chop-sticks.
Uncooked Food.
Like a course lunch, the soup Is
served first. It may be of lobster yith
vegetables that are in season now, or
of chicken with the same Ingredients.
It Is put in a pretty lacquer bowl and
eaten with the peculiarly shaped Jap-
spoons that most of us are familiar
with. Following It a dish of raw fish,
either red snapper or white, carefully
skinned, boned and out in dainty, thin
slices, covered with a yellowish sauce,
such as is made-by an experienced na
tive cook, Is served, and, though few
women know anything about uncooked
fish, most of them declare that the
dish Is delicious.
Fried oysters, or lobster cooked ex
actly aB they are in this country, with
a mealy kind of paste of flour, water,
etc., and.placed on a pretty dish, make
the next coarse, or fried chicken with
mushrooms and bamboo sprouts, an
odd combination for American palates,
will be appreciated by most of the
guests, because it Is unusual and es
pecially delectable.
Broiled squab, plover or snipe, some
kind of wild fowl is thon brought on,
and the next course Is a salad made of
cucumber with shrimp or oranges; the
latter with the vegetables is much
liked.
For dessert there Is a “sakura cher
ry" made at this season that is deli
cious. It is wrapped in cherry Ihaves
in a dainty fashion that is pleasing to
the eye gnd an artistic finish to the
meal. The only difficulty Is in secur
ing this sweet, for it is not made in
this country and must be secured di
rect from Japan. Tea, all that anyone
wants, fragrant leaves such as are
rarely drunk here, Is kept In the cups
on the tray from the first course to the
•last.
When the luncheon Is over and the
Japanese servants have removed the
trays, a little native music makes a
nice diversion, particularly if the
Geisha girls can be secured.
(Note—The writer gives no Instruc
tions as to how. to overcome the
cramps in the lower limbs of the
guest, neither does she hint at a rem
edy for nightmare which might, nat
urally enough follow such a feast.)
