A japanese Girls Toilet.

When japanese girl gets up in the
morning she washes her face, but does
not have to dress her hair. That is at
tended to but once week. The hair
dresser comes to the house and ar
ranges her jet-black locks in the fash
ion for little girls of her age. So she
has no trouble about her hair, and
after her bath the servant assists her
to powder her neck with small white
brush. She puts a little red paint on
her lower lip and little gliding in the
middle. When she removes her sleep
ing dress she has on only short skirt
which is simply a square piece of cloth
Grape, or silk, tied around the waist.
No other underclothing is worn. In
making her toilet for the day she first
puts on garment made usually of
some coarse material, not very long
and reaching only to the waist, but
with long sleeves, On the neck of this
garment is sewed deep fold of scar
let or some bright colored Grape or silk.
A long, straight skirt of blue or red
Grape, silk, or wool is tied around the
waist, and over all three of these gar
ments is worn the kimonO or dress
This is of some dark color, and made
of coarse spun silk or thick Grape. For
festivals and holidays the dresses are
# very fine material and very hand
some. The outer dress is simply a
wrapper reaching to the feet, with
very long and wide sleeves hanging
nearly to the ground, and used us peck
cts. On each shoulder a deep tuck is
made, which extends to the waist, thus
making a little fullness for the skirt.
But the dress has no gathers and is
straight all the way down. The neck
Is adorned with wide piece of black
velvet or satin, which reaches nearly
to the waist, and the dress is crossed
over the bosom and confined by Cir
die. Over this is worn a very wide
sash, piece of brocaded silk or satin,
stiff with embroidery in gold or silver,
lined with soft silk, and fastened be-
hind in very large bow. When these
are all on, but barefooted, or, if in cool
weather, in white mitten socks, made
to reach only to the ankle and with a
place in which to put the great toe,
Gust as mittens have place for the
Lhumb), she goes out to say "Ohaio,"
or good-morning, to her father and
ther.-,St. Nicholas.

SOCIAL ~
Often we hear one friend ask this
question of another. Is ones social
duty done by accepting and giving in
vitations? What do we bind our
selves to in accepting the hospitality
of friend or acquaintance? Is our
duty by her done when we have enter
ed the portal of our hostess and have
given her greeting? Do we owe any
thing to her guests? If we are man,
do we do our duty when we neglect
speaking to the ladies whom we know?
If we see chance when we can be of
service to our hostess in making things
pleasant and agreeable for her, is not
that our duty to be ready and happy
to do her bidding or even to anticipate
it? If we are woman our power to
do more than to make ourselves as
agreeable as we may is limited. We
can then only be kind, generous and
considerable of other women as it comes
In our way. We cannot seek the op-
portunities of being polite and making
the happiness Of those about us as men
can. Sellishness, alas that we see so
much of it where there is the least ex-
cuse for it.-LNclieS' Home Journal.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Latest Fashion for tho Hair.

The latest Partisan fashion for
dressing the hair is to have it cut very
short, as it was worn In the early part
of this century by Nine. Recamier and
Queen Hortense. At fashionable re-
unions In Paris the hair is arranged in
this way. and has bands or wreaths Of
natural flowers. Bands Of diamonds
and bracelets Of precious stones are
also placed fiat against the hair. Some
ladies adopt the Sevigne couture.
This style is very appropriate with
toilets of velours frappe, brocade and
damask, with very long trains. Queen
Marie Christine has also arranged a
couture after designs of the eighteenth
century, and the novelty has already
met with considerable success. The
hair is divided into three parts. The
first form small curls over the FORE
head; the second is rolled back, and the
third forms tuft in the shape of a
crown.

Two Painter Slaves.

A great point of resemblance between
Murillo and Valasquez was their desire
to help others; for, to individuals and
to all that led to the advancement of
art, they were equally generous and
unselfish. 1t CHANGED, singularly
enough, that their two slaves and color
grinders became painters, and were
treated with equal kindness by their
owners. The slave of Velasquez was
Juan de Pareja, native of Spanish
America. He secretly practiced paint
ing, and on one occasion, when King
Philip visited the studio of his master,
Pareja showed the King picture
which he had finished, and throw ng
himself on his knees, begged his Ma
jesty's pardon for his auda-
city Philip and Velasquez treated
HIM with kindness, and gave him
his freedom, but he served
his master as long as he lived. The
works of Pareia are not numerous; a
few are seen in the Spanish galleries,
and there is one in the Hermitage, in
ST. Petersburg.
The slave Of Murillo was mulatto,
named Sebastian Gomez. He painted
in secret until he ventured to finish
head which Murillo had sketched and
left on his easel. The master did not
resent this freedom. but was happy to
have made Gomez an artist. The
works of Gomez are full of faults, but
their color is much like that of Murillo.
He died soon after his master, and but
few of his pictures are known.-C Clara
Erskine Clement, ia st. Nicholas.

The first view of the palace on reach
ing the square was enchanting. 1t was
brilliantly illuminated with electric
lights, which shone through it's sides
and gave it the appearance of a large
structure of ground glass. A band of
music was playing inside, and thou
sands of people in their warm furs and
gayly colored head-dresses were crowd
ing about it. A slight snow was fall
ing. the air was cold but dry, and the
whole scene made us think of pictures
we had seen of winter sights in Moscow
and st. Petersburg. Soon there was a
cry of Here they come,' and then at
the northern end of the square the
torches of the snow-shoe clubs were
seen approaching. On they came, and
after several hundred had filed by, and
their torches had surrounded three
sides of the square with a line of
light, at a given signal a shower of
rockets assembled from the middle of
the square. Roman-candles were let off
from the whole line of snow-shoers, and
the ice palace was brightly lighted with
colored fires, one tower being red, an
other green and another blue. The effect
was almost magical. We were well
acquainted with Fourth-of-July fire.

storm was novel indeed. We watched
the whole parade thousand snow
shoers in their picturesque white suits
and then returned home, and from
the window watched the line pass and
repass across the top of the mountain
and then wind down its side, doubling
back and forth in the descent four or
five times. until finally we saw it as it
sank into
'the mellow shade,
Glitter like a swarm of f1re-f1i tangled in
silver braid"

GREELEYS HABITS.

The Great Editor Not the Kind of a Man
to Grace Fashionable Dining-Room.
Horace Greeley was a great eater:
he didn't care much about quality, but
went in for quantity said John
Schlosser, caterer for the Duguesne
Club, while talking of some of his ex-
periences the other day. Mr.. Schlosser
was at one time caterer of famous
New York hotel, and afterward held
the same position at Welcker's, in
Washington, and naturally he has q
large fund of anecdotes of distinguished
men.
..How did you become acquainted
with Greeley's habits?" asked the
writer.
II was caterer at the - house
when Greeley lived there replied Mr..
Schlosser. He was very queer old
man and a good natured one generally.
He would sit in his room dressed in
dirty old dressing-gown with an old
pair of slippers on, and read the papers
early in the morning. 1t was
wonderful the number of papers
he would read and throw in
piles all around the room, and if any
of them were lost or were taken away
when his room was cleaned up, he
would be furious. He was great eat
er of fruits. Nearly every day baskets
and even barrels of fruit were sent to
him. He was very fond of pineapples,
and some friend sent him two and three
barrels at time, which he enjoyed
with great relish"
''Was he good liver and fond of
delicacies and French cookingP"
'.Not at all. AS long as dish
pleased his taste he never stopped to
inquire what it was called, or what it
was made of. If he wanted repeti-
ton of it he would say: 4 want some of
that you gave me the other day, and
that would end it. He was an enor-
nous eater, but was too much of a
farmer to care to go into details. He
never gave any banquets or dinners to
his friends. Sometimes one of his init
mates, MIR. Bardsley. the lawyer, would
give Mr.. Greeley dinner, but Greeley
never gave him any in return. Mr..
Greeley was in bad health then, and I
think that his manner of eating did not
make him any healthier. "-Pitts6urgA
