4 Noted saloon.
The drawing room Of Madame Adam

The drawing room Of Madame Adam
IN Paris is real museum like Nine.
Iussaud's, q collection Of men of al
the world, ambas sadors, politicians, etc.
1t is the modern salon, with open doors

hands, lounges for a time, and then de-
parts Now that conversation is thing
Of the past, such receptions are in
fashion, and the more numerous the
throng of men of celebrity the more de-
lighted Is the mistress of the house.
Formerly her duty consisted in directing
the cause RE. in guiding the course of
II, stopping 1t when necessary, bringing
out her most distinguished guests, and
stimulating their wit. She selected her
society, did not open her doors to all
the doubtful wayfarres without merit or
notoriety now to be met with in society.
Atpresent the task of the woman is much
simplitied, and she has only to say q
friendly word to each without
mlngling her guests one with the other,
which is sometimes difficult, and with
out ceasing to be amiable. The former
Mce. Juliette Lamber excels in receiv.
ing according to the present fashion, os
she would have succeeded III the old
manner, for she is charmer. No one
IS more successful than she is in fiattcr-
ing vanity, in winning affection, and sin
fathoming the heart. She is consum
mate politician, and her only fault is
that Of believing in politics: that is to say
IN governmental policy. She treats
her friends as an ideal sovereign; is al
ways ready to oblige them, and to use
her great influence for them, for she has
become the first soliciteusc in France.
Exempt from all petty prejudices, she
takes great pleasure in unmasking
hypocricy and in giving her opinion
coursgeously before men of false princi-
pies, and that invincible graciousness
and charming welcome to all, probably
| conceals much contempt and disgust
for some of the creatures WHO bow be-
fore her. On her reception days she
goes smiling from room to room, passing
between men who make way for her, as
they are parading amid the black coats
| the most splendid arms and beautiful
| shoulders in the world. The first salon
usually contains the most important
! personages. The conversation il gene

4 Clever Smuggling Trick.

4 story comes from the isle Of jersey
which may compare with one OF the al-
ventures OF Robin Lyti. The prevent

that a certain Binet, a noted smugglcry
WHO had frequently eluded their Iigi,
lance, was on the point OF running a
small cargo Of brandy from France. He
was to bring his boat to one of the
Ec-ehous-some rocky islets five miles
away toward the French coast-and
wait there till darkness permitted him
to- finish his voyage IN safety. The
preventive officers resolved that this
timeathey would lie beforehand with
him, and accordingly compile of them,

pretty Household Bits,

Some Of the prcttiest articles in hand
painting are the decorated picture
frames. One frame is tinted the color
of the blue sky of Jnne, painted with
apple blossoms. Another frame is paint
ed with tangled clusters Of pink eglan
time against gold background and an
other with sprays of pink and blue
bachelor buttons and yellow butterflies.
The looking glasses, framed in maple or
mahogany, are a-tistically decorated. A
beautiful glass of this kind is framed in
gilded wood and painted on one side
with straying vine Of gorgeous nastur-
tiums, few of the gay blossoms ap-
pearing to have wandered over on the
bcveled glass. \ pretty maple frame is
decorated with purple thistles and green
leaves. The motto, II give back smile
for smile and also frown for frown." I" is
sometimes traced on the frame OF the
mirror.
Among the new articles in plush there
are square mantle valances decorated
with clusters of golden Marechal Neil
roses and bluebirds. Charming little
tables IL gilt. with plush tops, are
painted with apple blossoms and yellow
birds, or a leafless branch of tree with
a flock Of snowbirds. A small pair OF
decorated bellows, with the words
''Blow wind, burn fire" on one side OF
it and design of flowers on the other,
is favorite parlor ornament for the fire.

Winter Life in Holland.

In Holland the fun Of Winter life takes
many FORMS and Winter facilitates To-
comotion, rs the highways of Summer
available for trek-schuits become the
best thoroughfares for those who skate.
In this way, directly the ice bears, visits
are made and distances travelled which
cannot be done in Summer, and. instead
OF going round and round as we do here
on small confined space, the Dutch
make up party and pay visit to some
neighborng town or village. A bright
Winters morning is always exhilarat-
ing, especially to those whose red part
icles are doing their work satisfactorily:
how much more so when cheerful com
pany, free exercise, variety of character,
and constant change of scene all tend
to mark the day as red-etter enc; and
to crown all, comes the pleasant sensa-
ton of feeling deservedly tired, with
nights rest well earned. Should the
frost be sufficiently severe, river is
most interesting, being on large scale
and partaking more of the character of
fair, which is the case, for instance. on
the Mas, at Rotterdam This 4 very
well pictured in some of the old Dutch
engravings; one particularly gives an
admirable idea of the whole thing, show
ing sledges, ice-boats, stalls and booths.
Now, the freezing Of the Mas is most
uncertain; while other waters are frozen
hard, the Rotterdamers still remain
land-bound. The Mas runs very strong
ly, and the difficulty is for the first coat
ing of ice to form. When severe frost
catches the still water during the night,
then ''once begun, soon DONE and the
crews, who turn their berths at night.
wake up in the morning to find them
selves frozen in. The canals naturally
soon freeze over, and the trek-schuit
traffic is supplanted by baggage-sledges,
large and small. Near dwelling houses
are seen the little box-sledges for the
children. These are precisely the same
as the seventeenth century contrivances:
the child sits, with just room for its feet.
and, with stick in each hand, pushes
astern and propels itself ahead. The
adult sledges are in some cases simply
gorgeous, as the opportunity affords
great latitude for form, great scope for
variety of gear, harness and trappings.
They are generally rather of the swan
outline, the "sleighers" sitting in the
body, the driver perched at the back, as
on thetail, the sweeping irons following
the curve of the swan'sneck; over these
run the reins. One horse generally

craving three horses in single file are
shown drawing a sledge de MEe.--Good

On men with the shock. Every now and

slowly now that we could almost have

there was not fifty feet between us and
