Marseilles.
Pictures from Italy


AS we approached Marseilles, the road began
to be covered with holiday people Outside the
public houses were parties smoking. drinking
playing draughts and cards. and lonce) dancing
But dust dust, dust, everywhere. We went on
through long, struggling, dirty suburb thronged
with people; having on our left dreary slope of
land on which the country houses Of the Mar
settles merchants, always staring. white, are
jumbled and heaped without regard to the
slightest ORDER backs, fronts. sides ard gables
toward all points of the compass; until, at last
we entered the town / was there
twice or thrice afterward, in fair weather
and foul, and / am afraid there
is no doubt that it is dirty and disagreeable

heights of the beautiful Mediterranean, with it's
lovely rocks and islands, is most delightful
These heights are desirable retreat for less

pound of vile smells perpetually arising from a
great harbor of stagnant water and befouled by
the refuse of innumerable ships with all sorts of
cargoes, which in hot weather is dreadful to the
last degree.
There were foreign sailors of all nations in
the streets-with red Shirts blue shirts buff
shirts, tawny shirts and shirts of orange color
with red caps, blue caps, green caps great
boards and no beards-in Turkish turbans,
glazed English hats and Neapolitan head
dresses. There were the townspeople sitting
in clusters on the pavement, or airing. them
selves on the tops Of their houses or walking up
and down the closest and least airy of boule
wards; and there were crowds of ferce-looking
people Of the lower sort blocking up the way
constantly. In the very heart of all this stir
and uproar was the common mad house-a low,
contracted, miserable building looking straight
upon the street. without the smallest screen or
court yard where chattering madmen and mad
women were peeping out through rusty bars at
the staring faces below, while the sun, darling
fiercely aslant into their little cells, seemed to
dry up their brains and worry them as if they
were baited by pack of dogs. By
o'clock we were steaming out in the open sea.
The vessel was beautifully clean; the meals were
served under an awning on deck; the night was
calm and clear; the quiet beauty Of the sea and
sky unspeakable

The more one sees of it and thinks about it,
the more earnestly does one declare against the
wearing of thin or elaborate light or white sum
mer dresses upon the business streets of city
like Boston. A neat white gown, simply made
and above all, modestly made, is a pretty sight
on any day suitably warm and pleasant, and in
any place. But many of these to which our eyes

no waist, no modesty garment of any sort; not
even shoulder strap for etensiOn; nothing

but fimsily connected series Of holes through
which the most Indifferent marksman could
shoot pebbles at twenty PAGES. And for what
possible purpose is this show madel None that
can see; but if there be one it must be a very
poor one, for the results are nothing more nor
less than the wearer makes herself to be de-
spised of woman and deridod of men; and that
she not only makes herself look as though she
were absolutely melting with discomfort, but
completely out of style, and common For
any dress and any occasion the web embroidery
is fast becoming-in fact is-old style.

was the extent to which the Queen unbends

Strenuous efforts are being made to reintro-
duce the fashion Of wearing white or creamcol-
ored hose, and in recent medical journal an
eminent physician declares that dyed hose are
most prejudical to health and comfort alike.
But the prejudice against co,ored stockings.
which died out years ago, cannot be resusctated
without much and persistent endeavor. Even,
increased comfort cannot be altogether depend
ed upon as very trustworthy agent in
bringing the reform about; otherwise,
surely the distress and disagreeable-
ness ecasioned by the color coming
off while the colored stockings are upon the feet
would have abolished the fashion long ago It
certainly acts as deterrent to the strongly adj.
vlsed course when one happens to see it fol-
lowed. The singularity certainly invites both
notice and unfayorable comment. and there is
another disadvantage is almost impossible to,
keep white hose in the immaculate state of pur-
ity in which alone they are admissible even
when they are changed twice a day--a luxury
calculated to raise the ire or the wages of the
laundress considerably. Moreover, white hose
admittedly in appearance increase the size of
the feet consideration which many women
cannot afford to despise.

the evasion of a prohibitory law entirely
