Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition

CHAPTER XIII
6/16

At one end is a waterfall, and there is a pleasant tea house where pretty Japan girls serve tea on the broad galleries.
Beyend the lake you see a model Japanese house and not fur off is the headquarters of the Japanese commission.

Near the top of the hill is a large pavilion made of wood and bamboo.

It is used as a reception room, and here you see Japanese costooms from the earliest day to the present.
Here are pictures of the Emperor and Empress.

There is a display here also of the Red Cross society, medical boxes of army and navy, etc.

This is the only hint this courteous country gives of the great war going on at home that would stop the exhibit of most any other country.
