women from the north arc above all
uuaint and necnl;or and .ecn AT
least half n century behind the times The
dresses are in rlaring colors-yellow and
rcd at which the aristocrats at La Have
would sneer infnitely-and immense white
caps, with regular eave-spout borders,
crown the luxuriant hair which these
Dutch women are passessed. They in
tcrprot into ornaments also one other
thing which is supremcly distasteful to a
stranger and that is a composition metal,
resembling gold, which these women in
humble life twist into their hair, and al
low to hang before their ears in huge flaps,
giving them aludicrous appearance which
makes one stare. Al every turn there is
huge Oriental "Lust.in- Rust, embowcr-
ed in huge moss-grown trees, whence
issues music and the sound ofrustic dances.
The statues arc few and insignificant, but
everything that has been reclaimed from
natures wildness of other times is beauti-
full. The park is very extensive, and one
may loose his wav in the wilderness OF
beauty, lust as, | confess, NAV loose my
way amid this host of statistics, which
for some time past, have been trying
to decipher from Dutch paper three
days old.
