A japanese Lady In Washington.

But the mention of silk brings me
| easily to the subject of Nine. YOshida
Cher possessions in that line are won
derfuD and her reception of last Mon
day evening at the japanese Legation.
The official residence is on Vermont Az
enue and is of very pleasant exterior.
1t is large, square, many -windOwed
house, having the door midway, and
balanced on either hand by q lace-dra-
period bay window, whose nodding ferns
and blossoms look down very brightly
from their proud height-for the little
spot of green in front of the, house,
which would make quite lawn if
spread out, gathers itself up into three
terraces, giving the mansion an eleva-
ton worthy the dignity of its occupants.
Within it is like 3 fairy palace, with
works of art from all countries. The
exquisite carpets, upholstery and dainty
lace draperies; the rich paintings, mag
nificent vases. and articles of tertu
which garnish every nook, all SO perfect
in artistic arrangement, and favored
throughout with such captivating sus
gestion of Orientalism. make this place
one of the most delightful at which one
can be entertained. One may feel at
liberty to notice Nine. Yoshida's dress,
for it is not prosy affair, botight, as any
one may be, at store," but is one of
the rarest Japanese fabrics. When this
lady came, she brought with her a
quantity of these gorgeous, silks; and
for any notable occasion she has one
made up in style. On her arrival she
was attired in Japanese costume, but
one of the ladies of the Cabinet imme-
diately assumed the office of guide and
protector, and through this friendly
ministry she was soon introduced to
the European dress, which she "took
to very kindly, and was soon az fat
with all its details. Net so easily rec
onciled was Mr.. Yoshida; for one day,
soon after dressmaker had been in
stalled in their house to prepare the
needed wardrobe, he came into the par
lor, where his wife was entertaining
callers, with some strips of silk which
had been prepared for ruffiing in his
hands, exclaiming that the silk was being
cut to pieces! The ladies' who were cali
ing explained that it had been cut up in
order to sew together again, but the at

ed son of the East, who seemed to think
it preferable that the silk should be sew
ed up into the nice baggy things such
as his wife had been accustomed to
wear. .t.-.I. ...-... -.
The dress which she wore on this oc-
cosion was of silk which quite battles
The ground was of a pearl
tint, heavily brocaded with towering
vines in natural colors-green leaves
and flowers of crimson, lemon color,
yellow and pink. A garniture of fringe,
in which the colors Of the silk were re- |
produced, and knots of satin ribbon of |
the same brilliant hues, completed this
costume, which was as brilliant as the |,

This subject is now absorbing the at
tention of the civilized world. For ages
thinking people have been divided upon
the point as to q literal He'll, some con-
tending there Is big one, to which rail-
road men and editors are rapidly travel
ing, others affirming there is only little
one, q sort OF pocket edition, which Is car
ried with us daily in our hearts; while
others claim there is none al all, and only
as our actions in this world are guided
by pure motives and wise coUnsels, VIII
we find peace and happiness hereafter.
Therefore, in the future, as In the past,
people will continue to be divided upon
these points. But there Is one point up
on which all agree, and the testimony
comes from the east, west, north and
south. and that IL that the old reliable
Hannibal & st. Joseph railroad is still the
peoples faVorite. Remember this Is the
onlV line that can offer through day

Preserving Autumn Leaves.

Press the leaves carefully be-
tween newspapers, taking care to
avoid lappiug one over another
The next day take out the leaves
and dry the papers. Put the leaves
again in press, and the next day
repeat the drying process. This
should be done three or four times
until all the moisture is EXTRACTED
from the leaves. This is trouble
some, but the result will he bril-
liant. If the face of each leaf, al
ter each pressing, is brushed over
with sulphuiic acid diluted one
half with water, the color will be
still brighter. Do not wax or var
nish the leaves, MS it gives them an
unnatural gloss. They can be
made into sprays or garlands by
means of tie fine wire which for
lists use, twisted around their
stems.
