The Old Greek Costume.

Men often wore the himation alone,
without chiffon. The chlamys, another
rectangular garment, shorter than the
himation, weighted at the corners, and
fastened by q brooch SO that one corner
hung down In front, was worn by men,
with or without the chiffon. 1t Is espe.
cially we'll shown in the horsemen on
the frleze of the Parthenon.
Occasionally Diana, or an Amazon,
wears the chlamys, but it Is the dis.
tinctive garment of the young Greek.
Bands, belts and tillets were much
worn. Men and women wound illets
around their heads. Women wore, Of
ten under their chiffon, breast band
adjusted below the bosom, not to COM
press the form, but to protect the or
gans. Indeed, there was no tempta.
ton to compress the waist, the flowing
drapery yelling the waist. The band
which confined the short, or caught up
the long chiffon, was also OF cloth, but
the outer belt, holding in the loose
folds of the upper part of the long chi.
ton, was often Of gold enriched with
Jewels, and always beautifully adorn.
ed.
Great care was taken of the hair; in.
deed, a mysterious virtue was suppos.
ed to lie in the locks, which, carefully
washed and perfumed, were one of
the bodily graces of the Greek. Women
often wore elaborate head-dresses;
many were revived in the latter part
of the Eighteenth century and the first
Of the Nineteenth. Out of doors the
head was covered either by folds Of
the peplos brought over the head and
around the throat, or by a separate
veil, sometimes thick, sometimes thin.

Tho Capitors Weather Man.

The immcnsity of the rotunda i'm.
presses the visitor at the Capitol, the
frescoes are attractive, the turbulence
of the House and the quiet dignity Of
the Senate are interesting in their con.
trast, but, after ALL the feature of uni.
versal interest in the white-domed
building Is the weather apparatus. 1t
IS something novel to glance at a map
which tells you whether 1t Is raining or
showing, sunshiny or cloudy in Mon.

where else in this broad land. You can
tell whether the friends whom you left
at home are wearing mackintoshes OF
airing their spring clothes under blue
skies. while even the temperature and
the direction of the wind are recorded.
But the map Is not the only feature.
There is something mysterious In the
cabalistic characters which are traced
on revolving cylinders, and which tell
at a glance how hot or cold it Is, or how
hard the wind is blowing, or whether
the sun is shining. The instruments
which furnish the information are up
on the roof Of the Capitol, but delicate
wires, charged with electricity convey
the weather to the equally delicate In
struments within the building. AL day
long a crowd of interested visitors at
the Capitol throng around the pretty
mechanism and never cease to wonder
at the progress of the age.

Unnecessary Noise.

This Is noisy world. All natures

employed, and the use of electric and
steam power. Now night brings the
city no respite, and how much of the
nervousness and insomnia of the pres

noise might be an interesting subject
Tor the study Of sanitarians. Human
lty adjusts itself usually to all neces-
sary noises, and even becomes 20 ac.
customed to certain sounds that many
cannot sleep when the noise ceases.
The noise which is most disturbing Is
that heard close at hand and unusual.

to this is loud conversation and whis-

A Popular Mexican Woman.


Nine. De Diaz, the wife of the Pres
ident of Mexico, is not only the first
lady of the country, but is the most
popular woman of the republic. Sonora
Dona Carmen Romero Rubio de Diaz
is known among her people, from the
mansions of the rich in the brilliant
capital to the humblest hut on the
frontier, as Carmelita, meaning "Our
little Carmen" says the New York
Times. Her popularity ever increases,
for each year sees a larger number of
good works dispensed by this generous
woman, who uses her power to i'm
prove the lot of longoppressed and
unhappy people. Nine. Diaz is often
appealed to ON behalf of some one or
other sentenced to long Imprisonment
or death. Official pardon is delicate
power for any one to hold, and the
Presidents wife is naturally careful for
the justice of her cause before she goes
to her lord to plead for executive
clemency. But the President himself
is of forgiving nature, and not infre-
quently the pardon is granted. Neither
the President nor his wife attends the
the brilliant but brutal bull fights, and
in every way they use their influence
against the degrading spectacles. 1t
is certain that the President will en-
tirely prohibit them as soon as public
sentiment gives any hope of upholding
his wishes.
'fCarmelita" is the second wife of
General Porfierio Diaz, and is in her
thirty-third year. She stands as q
type of advanced Spanish-American
womanhood, and among. other accom-
plishments speaks English and French
almost with equal fuency. She is re-
markably well informed on current
events, and her advice is often sought
by her husband. The President is
sixty years old, and is very proud of
his fair young wife. When their mar.

In millinery the lilac take the lead,
and some very fetching effects are
fashioned from these exquisite flowers;
entire toques being formed from
them. Another favorite flower is the
giant clover in shaded red and mauve
tints. Some of the largest of these
clovers are about as big as Il small
orange. They tower up loftily form
ing very striking trimming.
The dainty mignonette is quite popu-
