How Ico,and,e ReIIes Dres..

The everyday costume of the women in
Iceland consists of high-ftting WOODEN
knitted bodice of dark color, with narrow
sleeves buttoned at the wrists and full
skirt. AS set-oF a striped or checked
apron, usually green or red. is worn. The
characteristic headdress is a small black
cap. furnished with long silken tassel.
When the state costume is put on the
cap Is supplanted By high white head
dress, something in the shape of helmet,
studded with gilt stars and enveloped in a
white veil of tulle. The bodice is of black
cloth richly hemmed with gold or silver
oak leaves, The skirt, also of cloth. is EN-
broidered with silk and silver. while a gold
belt of ingenious workmanship encircles
the waist Over all is thrown full cloak,
OF black cloth, with a cape of green velvet
trimmed with ermine.
The icelandic women have very thick
and beautiful hair, which they arrange in
beautiful plaits. Sometimes il is dark and
curling. but generally 1t is of corn-golden
hue. Bl1e eyes and pink and white cheeks
accompany this. and then the result is de-
cidedly pleasing. THIS graphic picture was
drawn by correspondent OF the san Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Several reasons which Of themselves
should be sufficient have been given shy
prompt measures should be taken for the
temporary Improvement Of Seattle's prin-
cipal thoroughfares They are absolutely
matt for convenient use by teams and
pedestrians, aud that fact, which is ande-
nlable, stould be sufficient 70 insure prompt
action.
But there are more vital and far-reaching
reasons than any yet advanced. They at
feet the stability of orr commerce in the
future. and the permanenee Of the position
Seattle has acquired rs the chief CONNER
ciai point on Puget sound. That these are
at stake must be clear 70 al but those who
are too stupid or too obstinate TO see things
al they actually exist.
The phenomenal activity that just now
prevails in Seattle is qaite largely due 70
the enormous amount of building and
other improvement that is in progress. A
large part OF this activity might be main
tanned even though IL we're found neces-
sary TO transport material by beats along
the lower and level streets, or to haul them
up the inclinss by the aid of stationary
engines To large extent the business
connected with unavoidable building en-
terprises wonld go on though the author
ties, the property-holders and the bust
ness men OF Seattle should peremptorily
decline TO take any action on the matters
under discussion Even this line OF bust
ness would be greatly impaired, however,
aud it cannot be great while until this
building sash win have materially sub
sided.
But apart from the activity due 70 these
exceptional causes, Seattle has been in the
enjoyment OF a large and growing COM
merce with the outside world AS yet this
commerce has bat barely passed its incip-
