Thera la no doubt that Japanese clothes are mors comfortable than ours, except that the foreigner would always be worried by the shoes. And yet It Is these wooden clogs to width the people seem to Shoe ellng to most tenaciously. simps are everywhere and are among the most Interesting for a foreigner, since here are footgear for men and women, for girls and maidens and staid married women. Shoes change with the age of the wearer as much as with the purpose for wnlch they are worn. Always of wood or straw, their trlnindng changes In color and material and shape, so that In a shoe shop you can study the fashions as they have been by custom. The most famous shopping street of Tokyo, the Clnza, was utterly destroyed by the fire and earthquake. It Is today by no means s beautiful street. Us buildings of uneven height and of every kind of architecture. Here are the great department with similar stores, comparable stores In the United States, often similarly arranged, displaying their goods attractively. They are rather more expensive than other shops, but carry only good quality and have fixed prices. For this reason they are popular with the Japanese and seem always to be crowded. Bicycles Are Numerous. The Ginza Is banal except for the people; and, after all. It ls .al"ay8 the people who make a street. There are very few streets In this world worth remembering empty. The Ginza Is always crowded. There are trolley cars and buses and taxis, a few private motors, a rare Jinricksha (generally containing a tourist), and countless bicycles. It seems as If most of the bicycles of the world were In Tokyo and that most of those In Tokyo must be In the Ginza that Is, until you go Into another picture; rather, The buildings of the New Tokyo are solidly constructed, to resist both earthquake and fire. The parks ire sp ic Ions because the people have taken to athletics, because they Still wnnt girdens to wander In, and because huge parks make forever Im possible that horror of 1923, when 30.000 people, fleeing with their possessions to a snmll open square were caught there by the fire and burned to death. The old wooden bridges that spanned the many canals of the city have been replaced by modern stone or steel and concrete bridges, which. If less picturesque, will not burn nd will carry safely the busses which go to all parts of Tokyo. As most foreigners In Tokyo stay at the Imperial hotel, that Is the natural place to start cursory tn ""kpeetion of this strange new-olcity, j Directly opposite the hotel Is " Hlhlva park. Its great athletic flpld Is almost constantly In use. Actually the hoys hpgln to play baseball there as soon as dawn makes It possible to see the ball. Beyond the azaleas Is an artificial lake, with a great bronze crane and a wisteria arbor and dwarf trees Just what we think of as typically Japanese, still farther along, there are playgrounds for children and tennis courts and an outdoor gymnasium, with parallel bars and all the usual paraphernalia. This part of the park Is always crowded. You street And t d 'A see some first-clas- athletic stunts s snd can watch excellent tennis, and you begin to wonder whether the artificial lake Is not meant for thp tourists and the tennis courts for the Japanese. Girls In School Uniform. More of Hlhiya park Is devoted to the new Japan than to the old ; lo, also, among the crowds of peo pie In the park, more are dressed In European than In Japanese clothes. The young men placing tennis are In flnnnels and sweaters; the old men watching them are generally In kimonos and heavy overgarments. The girls, who so eagerly take part In some of the milder sports, are generally dressed In the bine uniform characteristic of the schools a uniform which would be appropriate to any American school, If American schoolgirls cared nothing about fashion. If It Is raining, as It so often Is, these schoolgirls carry aglv hlnck alpaca umbrellas. Their mothers, on the other hand, who are dressed In Japanese clothes, carry lovely, paper ambrellas, gay In color and at the same time serviceable. If you look down from an tipper window on a rainy day, the street seems strewn with lovelv flat flowers. The clothes In Tokyo are always Interesting Most of the people one tees In the main business section are dressed In European clothes, and a large proportion, especially among the young people, throughout the City; hut there seems to be no hard snd fast rule. You will see a man jressed exactly as he would be In NTew York talking with a friend who is entirely American as to clothes except for wooden clogs; and per Paps the third member of the group may wear American shoes, a kimono. and a bowler hat. Rut what do these people who have adopted European dress do when they go home?

One goes to the Ginza again and again, partly because It ls the place one naturally goes to buy anything, from fruit to a Mikimoto pearl or an umbrella; but principally because It Is a wonderful place to get a of the life of the city, The Imperial palace, with Its vast walled grounds, is the heart of To kyo. This was originally the palace of the shoguns, who as war lords, felt they should be well protected They built, therefore, a tremendous moat around the palace grounds, a length of perhaps two miles. Outside of this, several hundred yards from the Inner moat, was another, the outer moat, and between the two no building was permitted. In front of the double bridges leading to the palace ls a broad exland, a relic of panse of the open space decreed by the sho guns. It Is not cut by boulevards the palace but still separates grounds from the Marunouchl, the Important business section of Here are the railroad station the great office buildings, the Imperial theater, the banks, all solidly built, all Western In architecture, hut all with that subtle and Indefinable touch which makes them Japanese.
