who ventured to ask the Ministry of the Imperial Household to permit him and ethers of his fellow countrymen to wear the ceremonial costume of Japan at Court functions rather than kneo pants and gold braid or the high hat and frock cost that were in vogue in the Western World in Prince Albert's day.

The story related by Mr. Selwyn Pea body is that a fortnight ago he was notified by a firm of London solicitors that he was had been bequeathed a con siderable sum, and that he would either have to proceed to Leyte to view and: deal with certain fixed property in the neighbourhood (as well as to comply with details of the will), or he would have to delegate these undertakings to a legal representative.
Mr. Peabody states that his great uncio left London (which he hated) soms forty years ago and worked his passage Dn a barque to China. He had been robbed of a considerable sum by a of cash from a branch office to the city, young bank official engaged in a transfer and the matter rellected on him to the extent that he resigned his position: quly to find that he could not secure another. This rankled, and greatly embittered him.
It is understood that the public is not the only party hurt by elandustias brókers but the legitimate brokerage business as well.

The cast of a first-class Japanese outfit is considerably higher than is the price of a suit of foreign clothes with Anywhera accompanying haberdashery. from You 250 to Yon 800 is needed for a complete set of Japanese garments that would correspond to a good business suit in Weatorn fashion which can be obtained for less than half the highest figure just mentioned.
