lace IS let into the material in waved
insertions from hem to waist, or else

For bodice decoration, the insertion is
used in lengthWise stripes down the

are also formulated into scrolls and
bows and laid on muslins, while lace
braid treated in the same way makes
most effective trimmings. 4 very

yoke striped with lace, and the sleeves,

entirely of lace. This would seem to
be coming into general use, as 1 have
seen quite a number of late.

Race of MustaChed Women.
A. Kabukowsk Delegate
Society of France Visits Them

to those ever worn by any member of
their race.
The explorer reports that these wom-
en- are massive in appearance, and, in
fact, appear to better physical advan-
tage than the men. They have high
cheek bones and are distinctly Cauca-
sian. They do not have that CHASTITY
yellowish complexion characteristic Of
the Chinese and Japanese, but rather
bear every appearance of white women
who have lived much in the open air.
Their mustaches, when natural, are al
ways black and silky, and are invaria-
bly, turned up at both ends. M. Klab-
ukowski says they reminded him much
of the fashion of mustaches affected by
Emperor William, of Germany
1t was at Muroran, one of the ports
of the Island of Yeso that M. Klabu-
kowsk encountered the Amos. Muro-
ran is an encampment, a straight
street, upon which buildings front that
look like barracks of the poorest sort.
These barracks extend from near the
waters edge to an uncultivated noun
tain with abrupt cliffs. In the only
street of this village he beheld crowd
Of Japanese children, in the midst Of
which was an Amos, wholly under the
influence of that Oriental intoXicant
known as saci A head with an i'm
mense batch of hair and a long beard,
hairy, thick-set and robust body, COW
cred by a sort of tattered tunic, con-
fined at the waist, below which looked
out pair of strong legs-an these
made UP an Amos man of the woods
At the left at a distance could be
seen in the curves of the bay number
of huts. 1t was a village of Amos. A
serpentine path wound along the cliff.
In the side next the sea was an open
ing on the side of those straw hutS so
ill-smelling that it recalled the most
wretched of the Cainhas. The
temperature was II to Is degrees be-
low freezing. A child announced the
explorers approach. He entered the
low door and saw upon the floor of
beaten earth grouped around fire of
green wood, three men, two young and
one old. Their hair fell upon their
shoulders and their boards were long
and forked. Their eyes were nearly
hidden beneath heavy eyebrows. Their
skin was white. They were, in fact,
very like types of Moujiks, or Siberian
peasants.
At the entrance to the hut was a
woman grating new potatoes into a
kettle. She was not more than twenty
| years old. Her face was long and her
cheekbones high. Her upper lip was
entirely covered by a wavy black
| mustache with turned up points. She

ing sort of reverential fear.
NJ Klabukowski crossed by land to
Sapporo, the seat of the government
of Yoso. This country resembles with
its beautiful paSturages the fields in
Normandy, Denmark or Scotland. Sap
porO, he declares, is a city admirably
situated upon vast plateau. Its plan
resembles that of American cities with
its straight lines and vast boulevards,
but the resemblance stops there. De-
signed to receive 100000 inhabitants.
it has but $4,000, of which 10000 are
women. The number of habitable
houses is 5000 Scattered upon this
numerous plan, it presents the aspect
of city finished before it was well
commenced
The government understands the
Importance of Sapporo from the double
point of view of politics and economics.
1t has created a school of agriculture,
hospitals penitentiaries, and a palace
for the Mikado, which he has never
visited.
The cause of all this is, according to
the traveller, the invincible repugnarce
of the japanese to the cold climate.
1t is a matter for establishment that
northern Japan and it's moustached
women are so little known by us, and
that it is forsaken by the Japanese
themselves.

Grace in Climbing Stairs.

The girl who is anxious to secure some
sort of healthy exercise need not despair
because she cannot indulge in tennis, golf
or any of the accepted athletic sports. Let
her practice going upstairs properly and she
will find it about practical and beneficial
an exercise as any other. If most persons
could be photographed when climbing
the awkWarGness of their carriage. Instead
of raising the chest and depending not only
upon the legs, but the body itself to lift it's
weight they bend forward almost double
impeding the circulation and cramping the
organs, arriving at the top in a breathless,
painting condition.
When learning to climb stairs hygenic-
ally as well as gracefully, the novice must re-
chest and fill the lungs with air. Balancing
some small article upon the head helps to
maintain the proper position at first. When
she has acquired the art of climbing stairs
she should study the refinement of sitting.
To begin with she will have to abandon
the idea that a chair or divan presents an
opportunity for relaXation-a sort of going
to pieces of the figure. In sitting, as in
climbing. the chest should be held so that
the organs may be in "a position to perform
their functions. Bending forward at the
waist line, a feminine trick, by the way, is
| an injurious pose, cramping as it does the
| lungs and stomach and producing dyspep-
| STA. Still another Womanly fad is lounging
| in chair upon the end of the spine. This is
a very bad habit, quite as harmful as sit
| ting on the foot.
Somebody suggests that by the time q
| woman has cultivated all this body posing
she will be on the high road to afectaton.
| Better that she move and sit with conscious
| self-possession than that all her actions be-
| tray a pronounced awkwardness. There
| is however, a wel-bred "affectation' as
! some would call it, the result of physical cul-
| ture training, which is in no way akin to
| staginess.

| be favorable to the stranger who had
! come to visit them. They then assumed
! an impasSive appearance and seemed
to have forgotten the visitor.
This was the explorers first glimpse
| of the most curiously adorned woman
of either the Eastern or Western hem
!sphere. He had heard, during his
journey of these queer facts, but the
reality was greater than the magma
ton. He made a special study of the
Amos women, and many curious things
did he learn regarding them. 1t seems
that not every one can grow a mus
tache. What is the cause of this fact
no one apparently knows. There is
not even a native explanation, except
the one found in the statement that the
mustache is an indication of the caste
or rank of the owner thereof
The popularity is all the more
strange for the reason that the Amos
are a decidedly hairy race, their whole
bodies being generally covered with
hair that is naturally soft and silky.
If, however, one of the women passes
the age of fourteen with no trace of
mustache appearing, her parents take
it for granted that nature has tabooed
her so far as mustaches are concerned
and proceed to supply the defect, in
appearance. at least, by the aid of
tattooing. The skill which these people
possess of initiating the mustache by
these means is remarkable. Indeed,
at distance it is almost impossible
to tell whether or not the mustache is
genuine or imitation.
Woman among the Amos is an IN
ferior being. All heavy work. includ-
ing that of the field, is reserved for
her. In childhood, between eight and
ten years, her countenance possesses
a certain charm. After that time the
burden of life becomes of such a nature
that in measure it unseXes what
would be the fair sex.
Once married, the mustache woman
is more than ever the slave of the
bearded man. She has not even the
right to pray. Notwithstanding the
position of the woman in the house is
not as hard as might be imagined.
She possesses, in fact, a means of de-
fence which is special to herself. She
can, when she is angered, transform
her countenance into a horrible mask,
having as a maker of grimaces an in
imitable talent.
Her husband cannot ignore the fact
that this perverse and mustached
creature without honor or religion will
hesitate at nothing; that, if she is too
badly treated, can do him an i'll turn;
that she may, for example, serve him
in the guise of venison several pieces
of dead bodies or, when she is very

ARTISTIC FURNISHING.
Some Hints as to Tasteful DecOra-
ton in the Drawing Room.

Airy and delicate in effect will be the
fashionable curtains for drawing room
windows the coming season. Fine nets
and soft, snowy laces, with designs in
light embroidery, will be much used,
especially in rooms furnished in the
pale tinted brocades and spindle The
secret of success in artistic furnishing
is a rigid adherence to one idea. For
Instance, ones otherwise perfect Louis

pire sofa or a Chippendale chair. The

chair may have been part of set as
