How the People Dress When They Dress
at All.
If each coast town has its character
istic colony, so also each has it's own
fashions of dress for the swarming black
population. | have noticed a process of
evolution in costume as l have come
down from the equator. The negro
children at Para and Maranhao were
stark naked At Pernambuco and Bahia
they have calico dresses. The men be-
gan with a pair of trunks or short trou-
sers, without hat, shoes, shirt, or coat
at Maranhao they added loose-fitting
shirt, Tapping over the trousers; at
Pernambuco ragged coat went over
the shirt and a torn straw hat covered
the head; and at Bahia shoes and stock
ings almost complete the costume of a
negro laborer. Only the waistcoat re-
mains to be provided, and perhaps may
find that at Rio. The costume of women
has been developed in the same progress
I've way. 1.-THE start there was a tunic or
chemise, with head and feet bare. Furth-
or down the coast calico skirt and waist
were thrown over the tunic, and shoes
were worn. At Bahia light shawl or
wrap Is thrown over calico suits of the
gayest colors and patterns, and there is
lavish display of cheap bracelets,
brass earrings and amulets. AT Rio
am prepared to see handkerchiefs and
fans. These are the costumes of the
lowest class of blacks. With education,
respectable employment, and social
equality, tho dress of the negroes and
mulattoes changes, until it is hardly dis
tlngulshable from that of the native
Brazilians and Portuguese. A black
who has risen above the level of his
race is scrupulously careful to initiate
In detail the costume of his equal, the
Portuguese White. He wears ordinarily
silk or black felt hat, a broadcloth
outaway coat of black, and pantaloons
and waistcoat of white duck. Even tho
lowest classes of blacks in Bahia are
superior to any other negroes whom |
have yet seen in Brazil. The women who
hawk fish or pineapples in the streets
are maryeIs of physical development

THE WOMAN WHO WORKS.

She Is Taking a Prominent Place Every
whore In tho World.
1t Ia a favorite argument with scores
of women who have known better days
that they can not afford to work. with
less than enough on which to keep up
the old show, they preserve pititul
semblance OF their past grandeur, deny
Ing themselves in thousand little ways
In order that they may deceive the pub
lie and their friends. In some of tho
modern teachers they have read that
work in a gentlewoman is degrading
IL We examine the class OF persons
who believe that women should not
work, we will find Thorn men of over
weening pride or women Of egregious
vanity main y. Not one OF them can
advance single legitimate argument
for their cause, and not few OF them
admit that it is foolish one ut tho
start.
A great deal has been said about the
dignity Of independence, the result
usually OF self-reliant work, and much
OF 1t has been what critics call rot But
for all that we can not escape the con-
clusion that work, either OF the hands
rather than degrading. instructive rather
than narrowing. 1t quiokens the wit
widens the thought, extends the intol-
7ectual and physical vision, and, unless
1t becomes a mania, brings good results
TO all concerned, No one Is better of
for having nothing to do, and the won
der is that any one should fancy the
contrary. II is said that a woman loses
caste" II she does not keep her hands
free from work Among whom, pray?

but II Ii being put to sorry uses when
turned against tho woman who works.
Laying all sentiment aside, il is better
to DO oat OF debt than to trade on
buried ancestry.
The most conclusive commentary on
this question comes in the shape OF a
woman who does work We find her
everywhere, not only in the country,
where her ancestors established her
right to freedom, but even among the
so-called nobility Of Europe Old Gus
toms devoid Of understanding are yield
ing to the advance of intelligence, and
the world is better oil for their going.
The woman who works profits by their
decay. She loses neither sweetness nor
dignity by reason of her employment.

rounded by her work, and whatever her
occupation she has at least the satisfac-
ton OF performing her duty always

worse still, most of the Euro peans were

The Emblems of Royalty Worn by KIM
and Queens.


Many years ago it was the correct
thing for monarch to wear the
Identical crown worn by his uredeces
sors. A king never was formally
crowned on the day when he succeeded
to the throne, but the ceremony was
always postponed for week or two In
order to have the crown thoroughly
renovated. In the days when the french
had kings the monarch was SO liable 10
be upset by revolution that ne Was
unwilling to delay the ceremony OF cor
onation, and it often happened that
new French king would send out the
prime minister with the crown wltnlh
twenty minutes after the previous kings
decease with orders to have 1t biocAeu
for two and one-half francs while Dc
waited. But there is no doubt tnat tne
custom of handing down the same crown
from generation to generation had is
disad vantages.
In the first place, it rarely happens
that two kings have heads OF precisely
the same size, and as rule the crown
