the Government exhibit are two of the most
attractive features Of the Fair. The Fisheries
consist OF O central rotunda and two colon
nades leading to two circular wings. 1t takes
time to reach the wings, so interesting is the
architectural detail. The beauty, the rich
ness, the novelty and the sportiveness Of this
ornament appeals to the least accustomed
eye.
The balustrades are fish standing on their
heads in couples with fan tails expanded.
One is attracted by the beauty OF the curves
and then laughs to see their meaning. Tad
poles follow one another in solemn lines be-
tween raised splrals up the columns, and
wiggle waggles Knot their tails decoratively.
and at regular intervals crabs escaping rom
nets and Holsters from wicker baskets form

things unite in running ornament. Since the
days when elegant rusticity houriShed in the
gardens OF the little Trianon, and hoes, rakes,
pots, pans and baskets tied up among rib

decoration we now call Louis XVI. there has
been no such interesting and beautiful use Of

THE sINoALEsE AND EGYPTIANS.

The mosr agreeable hosts are the Singa-
lese. Their building might be taken for 8
temple. It proves to be bazar, fragrant
with all the scents OF the Orient, and most
fascinating of all, huge baskets containing
blocks OF sandal wood, mono larger than the
fist, and rough hewn from the tree. The
Singalese keep up continuous hospitality IN
steaming cups OF tea. Here, among rugs,
idols. silken draperies the hard-handed sons
and daughters of the prairie sip their tea. 1t
is handed around with many genuflections
by men in clothing which they have never
seen equalled by even the village fro COM
pany or the brass band. These men are
brilliantly clad in red, embroidered in much
gold, and their heads wreathed in myriad
folds Of fine white muslin. There are several
varieties Of this costume. One ls garment
that, worn by u man, starts out frankly to be
red petticoat, and then changes It's mind
above the knee and becomes trousers down
to the sandals. Tks Turk who, in picturesque
though frantic English, invites passersby to
the Turkish cafe chantant, wears close red
flannel trousers. and over these short white
skirts and gay and gilded red zouave iac-
ket.
The upper class Egyptians are enviably
clad in striped silk skirts and blouses, and
fascinating dandies, swinging along the Mid
way Plaisance smoking cigarettes, wear
dresses Of pale green striped silks with long
full back uIsters flung wide open Of pale blue
silk. All the charms Of color and splendor OF
dress on this most gay Of promenades belong
to the me2. The women, in tailor-made
gowns and shirt fronts and four-in-hand ties,
look on them with smiling admiration and
