A novel and delightfal fosture of the Japan British Exhibition at the White City will be a complete illustration of the Japanese, system of gardening, which will be carried out with all the minute exactitude characteristic of our allies, and an area of 91,800 feet has been allotted for the purpose. The gardens will face the visitor she approaches the, Courts of Honour, and he will immediately be able to imagine himself in Japan, the illusion being heightened by a preciso reproduction of a Japanese flower bazaar with all its little shops and artistically colourail awnings and many strange productions of Nature modified by art, moh as dwarf trees balanced on the tips of their roots, which are almost wholly exposed, sul flowers grown in the shapes of animals and other quaint forma. How such "freaks ara obtained is a problem beyond the ingenuity of the British horticul tarist, but the Japanese have been bighly skilled gardeners from very remote times, and they have found out many keerats. Moreover, they are a nation of artists from the highest to the lowest, and this characteristic in combination with the cumulative horicultural skill of the ages can do more than the patient perseverance of the British gardener, fortified though it may be by scientific loro. The visitor to Japan is at onco sensible of the pervading art, which pro duces harmonies even in the colour of "the streets, but he does not at once realise that all this is the outcome of a deal of thought.

Short in front, falling from a high draped belt, it is much longer at the back, its individuality consisting in a amber of flot pleate of either side of the back and front, facing towards the sides. The tanie is edged with a very wide bond of silver guipure in an Irish crochet deaigu, this again being bordered with a band of black velvet two inches wide, with a narrower edging of the silver lacs. The lace is sewn straight soross the group of plents, holding them in place. This is a decided innovation, for we are scens tomed to pleata which fall free at the lower ends.
