said the Duchess gently to herself.
Part of the time its nice and warm

is green as it used to be in Africa when

around like a ship in a storm.

CHRISTMAS MARKET.
Scene at Washington on Eve of Holt
days Unique and Interesting.

One of the most interesting sights to
the northerner who visits the national
capital IN winter is the central market,
held the day before Christmas Here
all Washington goes to buy the holiday
provisions, and from early morning a
merry crowd throngs the market build
ings and the pretty square outside
Every stall in the long. low building
which forms the market proper is gay
with colored papers and Christmas
greens. Each tray of home-baked bread
each roll of butter. is wreathed with
parsley and holly. The roasting pigs
wear evergreen garlands, and even the
vegetables are arranged with an eye to
color effects. Besides the ordinary
commodities. to the Christmas. marker
are brought all the delicacies peculiar to
| the season-rare fruits in tempting
pyramids of red and yellow and green,
cakes of all descriptions from the black
southern fruit cake to the toothsoisIe
little spice-nuts, and cookies cut in the
shape of animals and frosted: and
sweetmeats such as are met with no.
| where else.
But if the interior of the market is
tempting, the scene on the broad square
in front is fascinating. All along the
wide pavement which borders the square
on three sides are ranged scores OF pic
turesoue darkies with their wares. Here
tattered old man sits beside a rickety
stand, @heaDed high with evergreen fes-
/ tOOnS and southern CreeperS, Wnlcn ne

stranger. From the edge of the street
young darkey calls attention loudly
