THE FITZGERALD LEADER TUESDAY APRIL 2, 1912,
In the Second
Row Back
, The ominous tinkle of the little
i:lock striking the hour made them
hoth look up. He was first to speak.
'As he drew from his pocket two slips
'of pasteboard, his words came in dull
| even tones.
| “Here are the theater tickets I
f'uougl;‘v‘; last week. If you care to go,
'we may as well pass the time there as
in any other way.” ¢
| Before answering she closed her
‘book and placed it carefully upon the
'table. She gave no hint of haste nor
!5 the response that passed through
her at his wards.
“*Since you have the tickets, yes.”
Just as she feared, he caught her
wrist as she passed and held ber iln
3, firm grasp.
“Marian, what sense is there in this
stubbornness? You know that I do
not care so much for the reason of
your going as I do your not telling
me.”
She tried to free herself. “That is
not true,” she gasped. “You want to
know why I went there. I'd have told
you, some time, if you'd trusted me.”
“But, Marian, I hear you've been go
ing there for a month, and I've known
nothing of it. You knew I'd hite a
thing like that.”
“your informant ought to have
found out more. Why not have him
try again? I'll never tell you, never.
No matter what happens, I'll—never
—tell—you.”
' He dropped her hand at that, and
she went on into the other room.
When she returned she had ali her
emotions well in control.
l They reached their seats in the the
later just as the curtain went up. In
the half light Marian removed her hat
and coat, and tried to settle herself to
gather the threads thrown out in the
first act.
Suddenly into the strained silence of
the audience came a voice. “She says
she doesn’t love him but she’ll marry
him.”
It was a girl’s voice, and there was
a familiar ring in it to Marian. “Did
she say she’d marry him?” This time
it was ana older, more cautious volce.
“Yes, but she does not love him.”
There was a stir and a wavering tit
ter among those within hearing.
Marian sighed and wondered if ever
again she should feel so much inter
est in anything as one could hear In
that girl’'s voice. The play held noth
ing for her. She wondered how it was
with James. To her the pretense
of enjoyment was becoming a bur
den and she wished that they had not
come.
“She says she does not love him, but
he'll never know. Oh, it's awfully ex
citing!” Again Marian felt the stir in
the audience, again she longed to see
the play with the heart and eyes of
the girl. If she could keep her
thoughts upon the actors she must for
get, for a little while, her heartache.
“He says he’s a buttinski. Oh, he’s
the funniest.”
The curtain fell, the lights flashed
up. Mgrian found herself in a state of
painful bewilderment. Sometimes
when she and James talked it over be
tween the acts, they could come to a
pbetter understanding of the play. She
took a cautious glance at her husband.
He was sitting severely straight and
still,
Marian gave up all thought of
following the play. An unexpect
ed tragedy had come into herown
life, and nothing could blot it from
her mind. Each moment she was be
coming more frightened at the out
come of her quarrel. They could not
go on like this.,
“Hector says he’ll stand by her to
the end, if he dies for it.” It was the
girl’'s voice again in explanation.
Marian felt a relaxation of her tense
nerves. Oh, wßat a time she should
have had to keep James quiet if—.
She was back at the old worry again.
It pressed harder. She began to Dbe
lieve that she could not bear it much
longer. She would have to tell James,
but things could never be the same
again. He had doubted her and he
had been so cruel about it that he had
forced her to tell.
Marian glanced at her husband. He
cleared his throat and changed his po
sition. The voice in continued con
versation was tantalizingly familiar.
Cautiously Marian moved her head.
Just a little way, and then—
“Oh, mamma, there’s the lady that
comes to Helen’s to give us the
dancing lessons. Yes, the one right
here in the silk dress, the shepherd’s
| check. Oh, she is just lovely!”
i “That's her husband; Helen showed
him to me yesterday. He is awfully
good looking.”
Marian moved closer to the chair
next the aisle and whispered:
“I—] wanted to buy that Gibbons
for your birthday, James, with my
own money. I knew you wouldn’t like
my doing—"
“Don’t, dear,” murmured James.
He kept a firm hold of her hand,
pressing it gently now and again. She
knew that he was ruininc her glove
but she was content. And while the
last act held little more for her than
the first and second, she could guess
that it ended happily. And it gave a
pretty glow to the reconciliation that
had, in the past 15 minutes, changed
things for her so materially.
Good in Discontent.
Discontent, if there is a reason for
it, is a hopeful and useful sign.
Confessions of
a | ourist
Half the time in traveling one is
dragzed at such breakneck speed from
one point of interest to another that
one hasn’t time to button one’s shoes.
The other half of the time one goes
nearly mad from enforced inactivity.
Our two weeks in Japan was one
frenzied flash of sight-seeing, at which
we worked twelve hours a day.
Charles was obsessed with a grim de
termination to “do” all that was to be
done. 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 bdth, 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 lsland
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 criti
cise our fellow-passengers.
Some time I am going to write a
realistic account of Japan to ofiset the
innumerable sentimental accounts
that are in circulation. The first reve
lation I shall make is 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 arcund in the
apen air, and they wear the same
clothes summer and winter!”
They do. And they all sniffle.
I will try to explain the Japanese
fdea of physical comfort. You arrive
at a Japanese hotel for luncheon. The
pniling proprietor and his staff greet
you with a dozen bows apiece and in
dvawing of their breaths. You are
ushered into 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
able comfort and pleasure? Ah, it
ghall be at once attended to! Suiting
the action to the word, the proprietor
ceremoniously bows himself out. Soon
a damsel in kimono and wooden san
dals shuffiles into the room, knocks
her forehead three times on the floor,
draws in her breath and triumphantly
places a eprig of cherry blossoms in
a vellow vase!
The chief difference between home
and Japan seems to be this: When
our old crabapple trees and Thomp
san’s two cherry trees bloom we re
mark: “How nice!” and go out and
spiff 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 Amer
ican 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 ochil
dren, runners, wrestlers and other .su
pernumeraries were lugging a Shirb
temple through the streets, dancng
and chanting around it ard indithg
peans of praise. They all looked bhe
and half frozen. And they all coughed
or sniffled.
In the evening we saw & geishai
dance. lam glad to have seen it. I
am sure the first thirg every woman
I know who has been to Japan will
gay 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
leve, in Japan! But then, of course,
all of Japan is charming, isn’t it?”
I ean reply, yes; I saw the geisha.
Aside from that satisfaction I don't
know why one should care to see
them.
Imagine & line of shuffling bolsters,
with a sash around the middle of each,
sliding out upon the stage on end and
striking one deliberate, silly 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 worldfamous geisha.—Chicago
