The Lexsnd Of tho Willow.

One day golden. haired child, who
we'd where no trees or flowers grew,
was gazing wisttully through the open
gate Of beautiful park, when the gar
dener CHANGED to throw out an armful of
dry cuttings. Among them the little
girl discovered one with tiny bud Just
starting. "Perhaps it will grow" she
whispered to herself, and, dreaming of
wide, cool boughs and huttering leaves,
she carried it carefully home, and planted
1t in the darksome area. Day after day
she watched and tended it, and when by
and bye, another bud started, she knew
that the slip had taken root. Years
passed and the lowly home gave place
to a pleasant mansion, and the narrow
area widened into spacious garden,
where many green tree threw its shad-
ow. But for the golden haired child,
now grown into lovely maiden, the
fairest and dearest of them all was the
one she had so tenderly nourished. No
other tree, she thought, cast such cool,
soft shade; in no other boughs did the
birds sing SO sweetly.
But while the tree lived and flourished
the young girl dropped and faded.
Sweeter and sadder grew the light in her
blue eyes, till by.and-by Gods angel
touched them with a dreamless sleep.
Loving hands crowned the white brow
with myrtle, and under the branches she
had loved laid her tenderly to rest.
But from that hour as if in sorrow fol
the one that tended it, the stately tree
began dropping. Lower and lower bent
the sad branches, lower and lower, unit
they caressed the daised mound that
covered her form.
"Seel" said the young companions
"the tree weeps for her who loved it. )
And they called it the weeping willow

Importunate Nlilliners.

Clara Belle, in one of her New York

A Monaghan Millionaire.

ering palms and luxuriant ferns, lies
hidden from the vulgar view of the
pedestrian the pretentious residence
of Mr.. Along. From its roomy balco.
ny, through the interstices of the
tropical forest, glimpses of the famed
Nuiana Valley may be caught-tha
valley of which it is truthfully said
that it is never without q rainbow.
To the far right the towering noun.
tain ridges, with the Punchbowl, an
extinct volcano, in the front, may be
seen in all their beauty, while the hum
of the busy town floats up with nc
discordant sound. Mr.. Along, who is
vouchsafed this elysium, is full-biood
Chinaman, who, with his native island
spouse and his numerous family OF
little ones, leads an ideal life. Mr..
Along is a solid merchant, with a
stone-front store on Chinatown's CHIEF
business street, and is credited with
the possession of a million or two, ac
quired in honest trade with his nu-
merous countrymen on Oahu and its
neighboriny islands. He adheres tc
the characteristic Monaghan accoutre-
ments, although mingling himself
with the most important and wealthy
of Hawaii's merchants, and disdaining
to interfere in the varied changes in
attire which Honolulu fashion dictates
to his family. Mr.. Along has five
daughters, ranging in age from about
seventeen years to five. The mother
and the daughters maintain rigid adj
herence to the rules of fashion, and
appear in the dress of white ladies
and girls. When occasion demands
the lady and her older daughters are
clad in as elegant raiment as is the
wealthiest lady on the islands, and the
demand, it may be explained, is not
by any means infrequently made, as
the family is received cordially into
the best society in Honolulu. The
family has its private carriages driven
shades of the sand-lot- by white
men, and close observer of the merry
quintet in their afternoon drive could
not tell that they were not the off
spring of some wealthy Caucasian.
The children are all receiving tuition,
and the eldest daughter, modest and
not unattractive young lady, has pro-
crossed so rapidly as 10 be considered
well educated. The Along family is a
curiosity in its way to the unprepared
visitor from San Francisco, and, al
though there are many wealthy chi.
namen in Honolulu and on the other
islands 1t remains the sole instance of
Chinese progression in many respects.

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 a 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 a 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 a deep fold of scar
Jet 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 as pock-
cts. On each shoulder 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 a 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 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, il 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
thumb, she goes out to say "0haio,"
or good-morning. to her father and
ther.-St. Nicholas.
