[27] Rained all night
quietly + continued all
day but very gently,
In the afternoon I went
to Mr. Apanos tea party
at Tokyo with Mrs. Wiltz
+ the Sittonos. The house
was very interesting in its
decorative features which
were all Japanese. The
& color harmony of the
& rooms, was perfect.
The ceilings were distinct in
design in each room, & made
with tapestry. Blue reels
was all entartlees, another
was fours another birds
Paradise, etc. One of the
harmonious wallpapers was
Cherry blossom tapestry.
The color effects prevailed
light, chiefly yellows. But there
were no reds green or blues
except very pale + small in
quantity. The wood was all
cardboard enveled light mahogany
