NEW GK, September 22.-An Ameri-
can-the circumstances Of whose life COM
pei her to live In Russia-writes:
The housekeeping here is very express
sive Of the real character Of the people.
When ! first came all my preconceived
ideas seemed TO be quite upset
The first dinner we went TO was the
most beautiful thing.I ever saw. Such
flowers such gold and silver plates. such
exquisite pOrceiains. and such beautiful
service. The table was a great square of
oak. as black as ink, and as polished as
marble Very wisely they had not hid
Is beauty under a cloth. Its only cov-
ering was two strips OF splendid Old altar
lace laid along each edge under the plates.
Up the middle OF the table marched
twelve candlesticks. two and two. and
these were of that lovely Venetian glass
which has the milky green OF shallow
sea water thickly powdered with gold
dust They were made In those fantastic
dragoa-shapes Of which the Venice glass
workers are so fond, and the shades
were Of delicate filigree, hardly heavier
than cobwebs, set over pale violet silk.
There were thirty or forty tiny gold
vases set about the table everywhere,
filed with white and purple double vio-
le,s-just careless little clusters, with
long, loose stems. and a few leaves. At
each plate stood small forest of wine
classes. each one a gem of the Venetian
factories, making charming mass OF
translucent color, milky green. anne
thyst and gold. All the forks and
spoons and knives were works OF art.
with handles of gold. Of carved ivory. OF
porcelain, or Of the beautiful Russian
enamels and cisele work.
