Worcester morning daily spy. (Worcester, Mass.) 1888-1898, 1898-01-02

The most elaborate New Year toilets
in the world are made by Japanese
bellies. The women of Japan have been
having New Year for hundreds of
years before the women Of Christian
countries, according to their chronology
of the age Of the world, and they have
learned to make much more of it than
the womenl OF shorter7Aved Christian
nations
The New Year in japan, falling lit
tie later than ours, brings the flowery
kingdom into It's full fioweriness; and
on that day the whole glad New Year
Is called in to celebrate the advent of
another twelvemonth. +.
1t is commonly supposed that women
IL Japan hold a secondary place to men
and that no festival cohad be carried on
by them and for them. But, far from
being the case, there is no nation on
earth that valpesi its women as highly
as the Japanese. nor no country where
the New Year is more beautifully ush-
cred in by them.
Women have a strange way all over
the world of bringing in the New Year.
Other hPl4aay e: are conlmen to all, men
and wesnenk but Ehe New. Year seems
devoted to women alone.
IN tJapaps offsNew Years day the la
dies are up early and making most
elaborate toilet. The toilet of a jap
anese woman is always a refined ones
and the sweetest Of cosmetics and the
most delicate of scents are employed for
her Identification. But the New Year
toilet Is something specially fine.
Worcester morning daily spy. (Worcester, Mass.) 1888-1898, 1898-01-02

On the New Year the Japanese belle,
like the Chinese one, wears no old
clothes. Everything from her flowing
silk outer garments to her straight, de-
lieately-woven underwear, is all new.
Her favorite color is pink, and her robes
are gorgeous in colors of pink and red
She makes her toilet sitting on the
floor with a silk robe around her. When
she gets out of her peculiar little bed
upon the fioo- and lifts her shapely
head from her smooth, round pillow, she
gets into a perfumed bath, in the taking
of which she is assisted by her female
servants, if she be a woman of very
high rank, and by the women of her
household If she be Of good family but
not wealthy. Her perfumed bath is
poured into a tub and a little mating
screen is set around the tub Into the
water she gets, while her women sit
outside the screen upon the clean mat
ting floor.
When the time comes for shampoo
of the flesh, the bather rises and the
women of the family assist her, making
a sport of this daily ablutton. In this
respect the heather differs from the
Christian. A Christian woman conceals
the fact that she bathes, and beyond
doing so daily for cleanliness, spends no
quettes to mention it. But the heather
talks Of it, and the fables are fun OF the
wives of high dignitaries whose daily
round of happenings took place in the
gardens through which they walked
while going to and from the bath.
The bath over, and on New Years
day It is prolonged. the Japanese wom-
an bather sets up her little. easel and,
taking her place upon the floor, begins

what took the deer into the camp? No
wonder you ask. Well, he came for salt.
pork barrel that had stood in one cor
ner had been upset, and the brine, when it
had dried up, had left deposit of salt
on the floor. A deer vial take more risks
to get to salt than for anything else in the
world and this was what had brought the
buck to the cabin. He had walked in at
the open door, and In the falling snow had
failed to hear or scent our approach until
1 spoke. Then, in turning quickly, he had
slammed the door shut. He had not hurt
shaking up, and probably did not try to.
He saw the door open and was bent on
getting away.
Here was our Christmas dinner right at
hand. There was plenty of f1rewood about
the camp, and we soon had a fire going In
the stone fireplace for the broiling of vent-
son steaks. Tackled against the side Of the
rections on it to look on a cross-beam
overhead. There we found a tin box
with flour, sugar, tea, salt and candles In
it that a hunter going out of the woods
had left there for the benefit of the next
conner, a customary courtesy in the Maine
woods. In less than an hour after our
arrival We We're dining sumptuousfy by
candle light on broiled venison and diver
and hot bread shortened with deer fat,
with tea and sugar to accompany. Wasn't
that good enough? And then our pipes
afterward! With our twelve hours
tramp through the woods fasting for an
have improved on our bill Of fare?
THE snow cleared away the next morn
rg, and we got back to our own camp
that day. We returned to the logging
mainder of our venison and the deerS
head. The antlers some of you have seen
in the hallway of my house. l wish it
understood that claim them, as my proper
trophy. Though 1 may not have fired the
shot, certainly was in the post of danger
when they were taken.'
