PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS ATTEND GARDEN PARTY IN JAPAN Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Paget, of This City, Special Guests at Chrysanthemum Fete Mrs. A. Maxwell Paget, formerly Miss Mary H. Baum, of this city, writes to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward F. Baum. of Wormleysburg, the following interesting account of a chrysanthemum fete in Tokio, Japan, on November 20. Mr. Paget is resident engineer for the Ameri can Trading Company at Yokohoma and they live in Tokio. They have made their home in the Orient for the past three years. "I reckon I can come back to earth long enough to pen you a few wandering thoughts to you: This afternoon 'Hubby' and I attended the chrysanthemum garden party given by the Emperor and Empress of this Jand. It was an ideal day for the affair and the Palace grounds were simply gorgeouw in their bril liant colors of green, red. yellow and brown. This party was held at one of the detached palaces (not the Mikado's palace for that is sacred and no one is allowed to go inside but the favored few).* The palace is a huge white marble structure with beautiful gardens in which are huge fountains. brooks, small lakes crossed by artistic bridges and wind ing walks throughout the grounds. It was really like a fairy story where one wandered through lovely forests gaily decked in their autumnal robes I never saw such lovely red maple leaves. "The chrysanthemums were per fectly wonderful. The imperial coat of arms is a sixteen-petal chrysan themum and in the display were real 'mums' with sixteen petals. These flowers were very large—about the size of a dish. Quite a few very large plants with hundreds of blooms on them were very much ad mired. Each flower was grown on its own long stem and held in posi tion with a small stick of bamboo. One plant was six feet wide, thirteen feet long and bore 624 flowers. "The guests first viewed the 'mum' show and then awaited the Imperial parade. The band struck up the na tional anthem when the Emperor appeared and every man took off his hat as his Imperial Majesty passed. First came two soldiers, then an at tache and then the Emporor (all of the paraders walked). The Emperor was dressed very simply like n Japanese oflicer. After him came the Empress dressed in "American" clothes—light green brocade with ermine bands, ermine stole, light green hat with bird of paradise to match. She had on a white veil and walked with slightly bowed head Then followed the ladles in waiting, all wearing foreign dresses of vel vet or satin and nearly every one had a bird of paradise on her bon net. After the imperial party came the ambassadors and their wives. "After "the parade we had tea. It was served at small tables and each helped himself, buffet style. I never say so much that was good and in viting to eat. It was a wonderful sight to see the guests at the tables. It was a great color scheme for ev ery one was in her best bib and tucker. After the imperial party left the Japanese present went up and bowed to the chair where the Em peror sat. "Last night Max attended a ban quet given by the American Asso ciation of Japan to Mr. Morris. Max is a member of the association. The banquet was held at the Imperial hotel. Over two hundred guests were present." Mrs. A. G. Knisely, Miss Elizabeth Knisely and Albert Knisely spent parttdf last week in Philadelphia. Herman Spangler and small son, Harold-F.
