THE EMPEROR'S SIGN. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the decorations in this part of the building was the immense design affixed to the wall, and immai diately facing the entrance, of the Emperor of Japan's sign manual-the golden sixteen leaved chrysanthemum. No Japanese subject is entitled to use the sixteen-leaved chryzan themum as a symbol or a decoration-it be longs exclusively to the Emperor, and it is similar to nothing with which Britons are familiar. The Japanese see their Emperor in his seal, as might be described. Just as the

Three long tables at right. angles to

The dwarf gardens will relieve the eye and give a touch of nature's beauty to the spectacle. A stork worked out in chrysanthemums, after the style of Chinese gardens, formed a picturesque table decoration, THE BALLROOM.
In the ballroom, sixty Japanese lanterne fitted with electriclights will blaze in addition to the celling illumination. Cherry blossoms and greenery is spread over the walls so that when the ball is in full swing St. Andrew's Hall should present
