A JApENEsE BELLE-A recent East
India traveller thus sketches her: I saw
young girl standing, fan in hand, at an
open door, reading. She was simply clad
in lose Grape half:petticoat half-dressing-
gown sort of dress, reaching as far down as
the ankles, and bound by sash of yellow
silk around the waist. Her feet, which we're
small and beautifully formed, rested on the
common high straw sandals Of the country,
Over this dress, which left the bosom partly
uncovered, she wore light cream colored
open jacket, of muslin texture, with wide
sleeves extended a little below the elbow
her soft black hair was beautifully drawn
back off the forehead, and bound in a pecu-
liar cluster at the back of the head, where
it was held by two gold pins, one of great
length, and with scoripion-like device at
tached to it, and which moved to and fro
with every motion of its fair wearer. Her
complexion was bright and pale, much more
so than the Chinese; her features animated
and expressive, and her teeth white, and as
finely formed as her figure. BY the latter,
saw she was unmarried-the invariable
Japeuese custom being, that on the marri-
age of every female, the teeth are dyed
black and in some cases the eyebrows sha-
ven off.
I halted nearly in front of where she
stood she did not look "piqued," and turn
away, as the fair damsels of my own coun-
try would have likely done but she favored
me with a steady gaze, and smiled, though
I could scarcely detect the movement of a
feature, while her eyes, like souls of eio-
quence, glowed in fascinating beauty. She
was reading book; salutcd her with q
low bow; she returned the compliment by
somewhat similar movement. Observing
MY curiosity to see the book which she held,
she handed it to me. 1t was thick, and of
nearly the quarto size and letter press was
mixed with numerous wood -cuts-a common
circumstance in Japan, as subsequently
aseertaiued, where nearly every book pub
lished abounds with numerous illustrations.
In weight the book was exceedingly light,
and the cover was of very thick colored pa
per, highly ornamented, the external pic
ture being that of cruci6xion; the paper
was printed on one side only, and left un-
cut, so that the printed sides were alone
presented to the eye. The work, one of
an ordinary kind, was of excellent typogra-
ply. Of its ordinary merits the young lady
