The Kiss is the Universal Form of
SaIutation in That Country.
From the New York Times
The common working dress of the Ice
lan(iic women, without distinction as to So
cial equality or wealth. consists of an un-
dergarment of wadmel, in one piece, ex-
tending from the shoulders to the heeis'
fastened at the neck with q button or
clasp. with petticoats of white or blue
wadmel. and a blue cap, the top OF which
hargs down on one side and terminates IN
a tassel. On Sundays and festival occa-
sions their dress is singular Then they
wear. in addition, bodice and two or
three blue petticoats, called Fat, and In
front an apron, bordered with a material
resembling black velvet, which is domes-
tic manufacture. The petticoats are fast
ened Immediately beneath the bodice by a
girdle of this black velvet, embroidered and
studded with such silver or gut ornaments
as they may possess
The bodice is also ornamented and fast
ened in front with large clasps, generally
gilt, and rendered more conspicuous by
being fixed upon broad border OF DIacK
velvet bound with red. Over the bodice is
q Jacket, called "treja,' fitting close to the
shape and made of black wadmel or vel
vet. The stockings are OF dark blue or red
worsted, ald the shoes, which are OF seal,
shark or sheepskin. are made tight to the
foot and fastened about the ankles and
insteps with leather laces. On their fingers
the women generally have many rings OF
gold, silver or DraSS, accoTulnS 10 tnelE
means: and. be it known, no present Is 50
acceptable to an 1celandic girl as ring.
The most singular, and at the same time
the most beautiful. part of the female cos
tune Is the headdress. called tfaldur,
which is made of white linen. stiffiy
starched, kept in shape with an immense
number of pins. and from fifteen to
twenty inches in height. This is the holi-
day and Sunday head covering.
When you visit family in Iceland you
must kiss each member, according to their
age or rank, beginning with the highest
and descending to the lowest. not even ex-
cepting the servants; on taking leave the
order is reversed; you first kiss the ser
wants, then the children, and lastly the
master and mistress. Both at meeting and
parting an affectionate kiss on the mouth,
without distinction of rank, age or sex, is
the only mode Of salutaton known in Ice

Bagby, represents this branch of the work
Upon the committee Of '96, in whose charge
are all the arrangements for the coming
convention. The committee is composed of
a staff of sixty members, divided into four
sections, and an auxiliary body, numbering
1,Ol1 persons, the largest of any of the
committees organized for the purpose of
making arrangements for the convention.
1t is probable that the members of the COM
plittee will be distinguished by white yacht
ing caps, bearing the word Reception"
emblazoned in gilt upon the band. and those
of the staff will have some further distin-
gushing mark.
Chairman BaEby.
Rev. E. B. Bagby, the committees chair
man, is the only minister on the committee
of '96; is pastor of the Ninth Street Chris
tian Church, and during the last Congress
was chaplain of the House of Representa-
tives. He Is Virginian and studied at
Aberdeen Academy and the Kentucky Uni
versity, finishing at the Yale Divinity
School. After serving for short time three
churches in West Virginia and one in New
port News, he spent year in evangeiistic
work, in which he was particularly sue
cessful. 1t was while he was thus engaged
that he was invited to this city at the time
Of the dedication of the mission of the
Christian Church on Capitol HILL to take
charge of that work.
Under his ministrations 1t has grown
steadily, and movement Is under way to
build church, the congregation having
cutgrown the chapel, SO that even standing
re ON at the regular services is at a
premium. Nearly half the congregation is
made up of young people, and there is a
large Christian Endeavcr Society connect
ed with the church Mr.. Bagby is thor
oughly in sympathy with the Christian En-
deavor movement and principles, and as
president of the local Junior Union devotes
considerable portion Of his time to its in
terests. He finds opportunity for consider
able literary work and ia the regular cor
respondent for the Christian Guide, de-

SVRE-TO-WIN POKER HINTS.

Practical Suggestions for Success
Which Follows If the Player Survives
From the New York World.
The whole object of poker is to save your
own money and secure some ones else
Win cash and lose on credit is a good gen.
eral rule.
Therefore, buy only one-half as many
chips as you think you will need. When
they are gone, owe!
Ante only when you are reminded Of 1t.
You'll make a chip or two in an evening
by following this advice.
If any one has to owe for CHIPS, make
sure that you're the first to do so. Then
bet against the ready money players.
Get look at the bottom card If you can.
1t may alter your draw materially.
Always "salt away" checks in your pock-
cts. no one then can tell how you stand
and you can be SHY from time to time.
Watch the discards carefully, but use
them sparingly. Excess in these luxuries
may bcget trouble
Sell your chips while you have plenty OF
theri. but only for cash
If there is 4 kitty take q few extra ci-
gars. If you don't smoke yourself, there
are Others"
At the close of the game halve your win
nings and multiply your losses in discuss
ing how you stand All good players do
this.
Never pay anv hold-over debts at the
beginning of a new game. Mercenary men
have been known to accept money so Of
fered and refuse to play.
When luck is against you. call for a new
pack, grumble and claim more trouble than
ever mortal had before.
When you are winning. look at your
watch all the time with the remark, 1--WE
got to go pretty soon." Go when You get
good and ready.
BY following these instructions you will
show an intimate knowledge of the game,
even if you do not win.
