Sialnese Customs,

The wealthy Siamese, including the king,
practically turn night into day. All i'm
portant political meetings are held in the
night, and 1 o'clock in the morning is the
hour at which Bangkok fashionables retire
until I o'clock the succeeding afternoon.
There is a semi-European theater in Bang
kok. which was erected by one of the pres
ent kings predecessors, and there are plenty
OF outdoor theatrical performances by ma
tives, the Siamese being a pleasure loving
people and fond OF all sorts of entertain
ments.
The worst thing that can happen to a
man in Siam is to get into debt, from which
there is never any escape, owing to the ex-
orbitant interest charged. Once in debt
there is no appeal, the debtor being stripped
of his clothes and compelled to work in fet-
tiers, generally for the rest of his life, to pay
the interest. Drunkards are not permitted
to give evidence in the law courts of Siam.
The Buddhist priests, clad in yellow
robes, are to be seen everywhere in Bang.
kok, and it is quite common for young men
to enter the priesthood, which affords them
an easy and luxurious existence, owing to
the liberality of the populace toward any
one sanctified to the service of Buddha.-

She Thought Paris Provincial.

Sn0 Paris PROVINCIAL.
An American girl who has lived in Paris
declares that that great metropolis is abso-
!utely provincial and countrifed in many
respects. Here in Chicago one may 90 her
way undisturbed though she wears a tub
OF her head, but there one has to subscribe
to the traditions.
The girl in question tells how at one time
she bought a pretty little felt cap, very
much like a Tam o'Shanter, in the Latin
quarter. Naturally, having bought it, she
put it on her head and went out. Now it
seems that these particular hats were worn
only by men, though the fact did not dawn
upon the American girl until she found
herself with a following of small boys who
hooted at and gibed her, and men who
spoke rudely to her, and women who
laughed tempestuously. 1t really looked
as if she would have to call a closed car
rage in order to get home alive, but she
suddenly %bethought her of a more speedy
and economic plan. She snatched of ths
offending cap, rolled it in her hand and
went on bareheaded. At once she ceased
to be a object of attention. The g~risette,
you see, often goes bareheaded, even when
she is very nicely dressed, and so disguised
as a grisette the frank and free Young
Yankee maiden" got home in beautiful
safety.
She never donned that cap again while
she remained in Paris-never. But when
she returned to her native heath she wore
it c~omplacently, and still wears it when the
fancy seizes her, and no one looks at it twice
or seems to care. Whereupon Paris seems
countrifed by contrast, or so she says

ner. The under part of these had silk of
the color of the ruttle. The handsomest of
all were several of white corduroy velvet.
These were made plain, with cord around
them and heavy tassels at the corners and
backing of different colored silk or velvet.
Many large silk cushions were covered on
the top with braiding in vermicelli pattern
in fiat silk braid with picot edges. and some
of these were 80 inches square with double
or single ruffles. Others were made with
the shirred puff and ruffle. Generally these
large pillows We're made in pairs, but one
would be blue or yellow, lilac or pink, while
the other would be of another color, both
being made, braided and finished alike v
for the color. Pongee silk was a ~favorite
for this style. There is not much figured
silk seen, but very many of the rich uphol-
stery silks are used to form tops, with
lighter for the under part. All are filled
with down.
And here let me tell my readers. These
down pillows in different sizes are to be
purchased all ready made in cambria COW
ers, and when the pillow is all done but
one little corner the clever worker makes
a tiny hole in the cambria and with a quill
or straw blows it all up fat and full of air
and sew the hole up tightly. That is how all
these bought pillows come to feel so much
lighter and more springy than those made
at home. 1t is Easy.
For hammocks the jean and other harsh
cotton goods, including bedticking, are
out, and bright oriental colors in canton
flannel in rich bayadere stripes are 1.-THE
style" These come in pink and light blue
with rich dark colors in the stripes. These
are plain and finished with tassels in the
mixed colors. Some pillows for comfort
rather than show are 81 inches square and
of plain lark canton flannel. or the figured.
For friends who have yachts the large
cushions in bright colored cantons are well
come gifts. These require no trimming
other than big tassels at the corners. These
even may be omitted.
The oriental rugs are seen made up into
yachting cushions. The fringe is left on.
They are also used as foot rests and are
verv handsome and durable.

Those beautiful Japanese and oriental
scenes look we'll on sofa pillows and are
to be purchased at q very reasonable price.
and as they are SO ornamental 1t requires
little work to put them together. All sofa
pillows made of light goods or silks may
be Of down, but the heavier ones should
have feathers, or at least half feathers.
Feathers are cheaper. I know of no present
more priced than a nice sofa pillow, and I
hope these few hints will prove useful.

There are 40 many beautiful toilets seen

that b fashion writer is apt to fall a VIC
tim to nervous prostration while trying to

rich and the leading styles are so varied
that 1t is no wonder that the mind gives
way. Yet out Of all the confusion of things
seen In the past week one or two facts
have gradually dawned upon my mind as
novel and peculiar.
One is that there is a larger number of
gowns of every style made with long, stiff
stomacher waists than one notices at once.

SALE OF GLEBE LANDs-The Wash
iraton correspondent of the Baltimore
SIN in speaking of the sales of Alex
ordria county lands as reported in
Wednesdays GAZETTE says: Among
,be recent land sales in Alexandria
county is that of portion of the old
oIrb, of Fairfax Parish or Christ
church. which has a special relation
not only to American history but to
American jurisprudence. This glcbe
was the only one that escaped what
may be called the naturalization" of
Virginia church property at the close
of the last century. The Common
wealth declared forfeited to the over
seers of the poor the church globes
or farms which had been bought for
support of the rector of the parishes of
the old English church. Many of the
globes were sold, and the money thus
raised became in part the foundation of
the literary fund. of the State. Before,
however, the law directing the transfer
Of the globes had been entirely carried
out Alexandria county was ceeded TO
the nited States, and, with the glebe
lands of Christ church, became a por.
ton of the District of Columbia. The
validity of the law was contested. The
Court of Appeals of Virginia decided
that the Commonwealth had a right to
make sale of the globes, and this de
cision covered all the glebe lands in
Virginia except those of Christ church,
Alexandria, which was then under the
exclusive jurisdiction Of the United
States, so the appeal in the case of this
one glebe went up to the Supreme
Court of the United States, which de-
cided in the case of the vestry VS.. Wren
that. "on the whole, the majority of
the court are of opinion that the land
in controversy belongs to the Episco-
cal church of Alexandria, and has not
been Invested by the Revolution or
any act of the Legislature passed since
that period; that the overseers of the
poor of the parish of Fairfax have
no just, legal or equitable title TO said
land, and ought 10 be perpetualIy Gu
Joined from claiming the same" So
when the glehe was sold the money
went TO the funds of Christ church aud
were used to build or improve the par
sonase in Alexandria.
