the leaves all frosted over with spangles.
Others are draped with plumes.
A smart reception gown of cloth was in
two shades of heotroDe, or rather the
darker shade of the velvet was nearer pc
tunia than heliotrope.
The skirt Of pale heliotrope cloth fitted
close over the hips and but little flare.
Around the bottom of the skirt there was a
band of the petunia velvet cut with an ir-
regular rocco edge at the top. II was bor-
dered with a narrow strip, Of unborn per-
sion lamb that was heavily embroidered In
gold threads.
The corsage was blouse Of the velvet
with a yoke of cloth cut in an irregular
edge end finished with a strip of the en-
broidered breitzh wantz. 1t had short full
basques, with the same finish as the yoke
The sleeves Of the cloth had very little full
ness at the top. They were finished with
high cuffs of the velvet The ceinture was
of gold with a marvellous Mosaic buckle.
one Of the most original gowns ! noted
was made of bronze Ottoman shot with
fiecks of black. The skirt was close fitting
over the hips with the fulness laid in two
fat box plaits. 1t was trimmed with two
strips Of black velvet that commenced mar
row at the waist line, and continued down
in two perpendicular lines that broadened
as they neared the bottom Of the skirt
There they turned in rounded corners and
followed the edge Of the shirt all the
way round. The velvet was trimmed on
each side with piping Of pale violet satin.
The rounded corners were trimmed with
three big gold and amethyst buttons

A reception gown worn by a young wo-
man just out of her teens was made OF
prune cloth The skirt of the cloth was
close fitting over the hips, with the sul-
ness at the back laid in two fiat box
plaits. 1t was trimmed around the bot
tom with rows of narrow prune silk braid
that were arranged in points and held
with tiny turquoise buttons.
The corsage was blouse Of pale violet
satin, covered with the braid to give the
effect of bias plaid An open work de-
sign in gold threads and turquoise stones
held the braid in place 1t fastened in
an invisible fashion at the left shoulder
and under-arm seam. The sleeves of the
cloth were close fitting and boosted but
little fulness at the top.
They were finished at the hand with a
long point that reached quite to the
knuekles. The collar was high STRAIGHT

frils of violet mousseline de sole. A
round buckle OF gold. set with turquoise,
ornamented the front of the narrow violet
satin ceinture.
The big picture bat worn with this gown
was made Of prune velvet. 1t was trim
med with tips and plumes in a lighter
shade of prune and where II turned IN

Of violets that rested ca the hair. Dressed

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-02-27

We're those who had embraced the Roman
Catholic religion and wished TO please or
TO emulate their Spanish or Portuguese
teachers in rendering alteration to sacred
images ana pictures; but even they did il
as religious act, and had not adopted
the kiss as a personal embrace. The Ro-
man Catholics who practicod kissing mis-
sionaries had been in Japan for several
centuries prior to the edict Of exclusion
against them in the fifteenth century, and
had been very successful in making con-
verts. Such a thing as a kiss between
lovers would have been grossly repugnant
to Japanese ideas of propriety, would have
been ridiculous between girls or women,
and would not have been thought of be
tween man and wife. japanese girls and
women have always used pigments, not al
ways of a clear vermilion color. Cor some
times a bronze tint is seen, TO highten the
color of their lips, so that this artitciaiity
precludes the possibility of kissing l re-
member the Disguised look which showed
Itself in the faces of a party of Japanese
ladies and their attendant nurses in spite
of their natural pOliieness and careful
training, when a newly arrived ana very
enthusiastic young American woman. on
seeing a nice little baby, exclaimed: "Oh
the sweet thing! l must kiss it," and did
so, making the youngster howl at the I'M
usual greeting. ! have seen a Japanese
woman a lady of rank i'm her own right
and as devoted a mother according 10 her
light as any of my acquaintance In other

But kisses, the pressure Of the hands
and other symbols of love as expressed In
other lands were then. as now, unknown,
says Grifis, the highest authority on ia
pan. The various forms of inarticulale
Language, by pantomlme flowers, art ana
symbolism In Japan differ in many re-
specls from those expressed by us. Among
the gestures partly or wholly unknown 10
them are notation, kissing, shaking
hands, Struggling the shoulders and the
contemptuous gyratory motion of the
thumb set against the nose with the fin
gers upright" One cannot say. however,
that the last Is not known to the Japan
csc gamms to-day.
In China, too, the kiss Is unknown to the
native who has not come in contact with
foreigners, and II could not wen be other
wise, for In greeting there Is no contact OF
any kind. Each person clasps his hands
in front of his breast and raises them 10
his face. slightly inclining the head as he
asks If the other has eaten rice" Or, IL
the salutation Is TO be deeply reverential,
he kneels and bumps his head In the obsc-
quious "kow-tow." Those natives who
have seen foreigners IN the familiarity of
their own homes look upon the kiss which
Is so frequently exchanged as the most
disgusting OF the many Objectionable hab-
its Of the foreign devils" Even the
nurses, who sometimes attempt the kiss,
share this opinion. In the north Of Asia,
among abe Mongols, the Manchus. tho
Chuckchees Of Siberia, in Korea and In
Thibet, there is no such intimate personal
contact in salutaion as VIII admit OF the
kiss passing. In India the kiss was un-
known TO any OF the natives before Euro
peans came among them, and IL must nee
essarily be revolving to the Brahmihs and
high-class Parsees who do not permit any
thing belonging to another, or which may
by any possibility have been used by any
one else, to touch their lips. A kiss upon
the lips would. therefore, bring TO them
the most horrible kind OF pollution.
Indeed. while Il il not easy TO draw any
sharp line Of demarcation between those
who kiss and those who do not, II may be
said, In somewhat broad generalization,
that I'm Asia beyond where Mohammedan-
ism is the prevailing religion, the people
do not employ this form Of salutation, ana
the same may be said OF Central and
Southern Africa. ! believe no tribe of ma
tive blacks has been found with its own
cult unaffected by extraneous influences or
examples. which uses the kiss as a mark
Of affection or as a salutation. In some
of The islands OF the Pacific such as Ha-
wall and Samoa, like other things Of
doubtful propriety the kiss promptly be-
came popular and has persisted most te-
naciously
