A Japanese Woman's Return.

There Is a considerable range OF
differences suggested in the letter of
a Japanese woman recently returned
this country. Readopting her native
costume, she writes of it.:
Yesterday bought a suit Of Jap
anese clothes, very pretty, cost about
S12. My brother helped me to choose
fashionable ones, and we had all sorts
Of fun. For instance, when went to
buy pair of Japaness stockings, Ihad
to try on and change three times, for
the American shoes have made by feet
much smaller than those Of four years
ago, and hence | cannot at all wear
the same sized stockings of my former
self. Next about the color of my
dress and the material of It, with what
sash. OF course, my brother, being
an unmarried man. does not know
about such a thing. So he talked
about 1t with his friend, who is an ar.
tist, and got his ready suggestions.
II put on my new dress for the first
time last evening. Well, | called on
a cousin of mine who lives in the same
city. Oh, what a time | had! l was
tortured to death by his thoughtless,
repeated, Japanese profound bows, and
then by my own unaccustomed posi-.
tions-sitting. you know, on my heels.
My brother was with me. Worst of
all was when was telling about
America in my fluent Japanese-at
least, so thought-my brother would
interrupt me, saying, You have lost
your Japanese accent Upon my life.
| have not, but both my cousin and
brother laughed and agreed that had.
1T is hard to live again at home, for
I miss your freedom. Yet, above all,
my heart is with this country of my
own people. New York Tribune.

Expert Woman Swimmer.

Probably the most expert woman
swimmer in the world is Madame Wal
burga Won Isacescu, the beautiful wild
ow Of a once noted Roumanian. She
lives in Vienna, and her training place
is the Danube river. Nine. Isacescu's
fame is comparatively recent, her
early feats being only known to her
family and friends. But Nine. Isa-
cescu sighs for other worlds to conquer
SO, unjaunted by her first failure, she
is making preparations for a swim
across the English channel. No other
woman has ever dared to make such
an attempt, but that fact in no way
disconcerts Nine. Isacescu. She is re-
ceiving daily instructions from Hol-
bein, the world-famous swimmer, and
is confident that she will be able to
swim the channel. Nine Isacescu is
endowed with indomitable courage. In
the Danube, where the current is so
strong that 1t has proved fatal to more
than one daring swimmer, she takes
her weekly swim every Sunday. 1t
makes no difference whether it is
summer or winter.

The Corset Belt.

One of the novelties in belts Is the
corselet. II is not hard to make, and
Is very effective in a narrow white
ribbon or in double-faced satin about
an inch wide. It extends about three
inches up the back, but graduates to
the front half of the height of the
back. 1t is formed of three pieces Of
ribbon or in double-faced satin about
a little more white silk elastic is intro
duced. This gives 1t peculiarly snug
fit. 1t is boned in the back, the sides
and in front. The ribbon is run through
rings, especially made for the purpose,
that may be had either in gold, silver
or gun-metal. French brilliant slides
are especially attractive Belts of
white are extremely pretty and may
be worn for many purposes. Those Of
black, with gun-metal slides, are, of
course, more serviceable. They are
also made of colored velvet decorated
with black French knots embroidered
or treated with sequins. Narrow Per.
sian or pompadour ribbons are used
for the same purpose with jeweled
rings.

A. 70 Wearing the Veil.

Frenchwomen. while doing justice to
American woman's taste in dress, aver
that not all of us know how to wear
face veil. They cannot understand
why these tissues should be strained
closely over the face. Their argument
Is that the modlsh veil should be loose
ly draped over the countenance, hang
ing like a valance from the hat or
toque. and never dragged tight over
the face. 1t is not meant by this that
the veil must necessarily be gathered
under the chin or balloon out with a
gust of wind. 1t must simulate loose
ness. however, and not be drawn like

suade you, or at least to endeavor to

shirt waist suit for you. 1t is good

The "shirt waist" idea does not neces-
sarily condemn you to this form of bod
Ice. Many Of the so-called shirt waist
suits show jacket fronts and a narrow
waistcoat effect. The back Of the bod
ice is made like shirt waist, and the
jacket fronts are never loose, but are

ton from the titular model, and indi-
