is in the nursery experimenting the
baby's toilet, arranging with the nurse
for the walks or drives to he taken by

sees her housekeeper and attends to
the menu for luncheon and dinner, al

dishes of her husbands.
A few moments every morning are

A new costume has an arrangement OF
fichu and drapery that illustrates the
excesses to which this fashion is being
carried. A narrow section of the ma
terial extends over each shoulder from
the waist line at the back to the bod
ice point in front. This is laid in
plaits that are caught down or pressed
to hold them in place. From the
front of this plating long tabs fall al
most to the hem of the skirt in front.
Around this and the waist section is n
plating made extremely full and
graduated. Over the shoulders it ia
about eight inches wide and grows
narrower to the waist line, where IL is
but about an inch and half in width.
The same order is observed in the
tabs. At the lower portion the plait-
ing Is very wide; large, loose bow

This arrangement is made of taffeta
silk and crepon, and is large enough
to almost entirely cover the waist and
the tops of the sleeves nearly to the
elbows.
Another waist trimming has double
ruffle, of taffeta silk on wool ma
terial. These ruflles are set in just
over the shoulders, and are graduated
to the waist line, where they form a
surplice effect. Over these double
ruflles arc very wide pointed revers OF
the dress fabric. These revers are
opened on the shoulder like lapel,
one point running in front of the
sleeve, the other in the back.

taught the Japanese the uselessness of
dragons teeth and snake skins as a
pharmacopeia and gave them knowl-
edge of anatomy and the rudiments of
medicine. European improvements
upon the spindle and the loom came
in that way. One finds great many
traces of the heavy Dutch civilization
throughout japan. The guild is one
of them, and it now extends from the
bankers and the manufacturers as far
as the massage operators, the story
tellers and the thieves.
In Japanese cities and villages about

whistles in the streets. One will come
from somewhere near you, and pretty
soon another from far away, and if
you choose you can trace them to
blind men, who walk in the middle of
the road, each with bamboo staff in
his hand, blowing his monotonous and
melancholy signals to notify the pub
lie of his whereabouts. These are the
ANNA san, blind shampooers and mas
sage operators, who occupy a con-
spicuous place in Japanese social life.
They rub the skin, knead the muscles
and shampoo the hair, which are ia
vorite treatments among the natives,
and are credited with great virtues in
the Japanese hygiene.

occupation to the blind, and with the

PLAID GOWNS.

There seems to be quite fancy for
plaids Of every description this season,
and they certainly do brighten up the
somber dark blues and browns and
greens which SO many women affect

troduced more in the way of thinning
and accessories than anything else.
A whole plaid dress on large woman
always looks little incongruous.
One of the prettiest ways to use plaid
is in blouse waist. But even that is
too loud for woman OF more than or.

her choice to bands of it.
