Oiled Japaneae Paper.

Their oiled papers are astonishingly
cheap and durable. AS a cover for
his load OF tea when rainst0rm over
takes him the Japanese farmer spreads
over 1t d tough, pliable cover Of oiled
paper, which Is almost as impervious
as tarpauIin and as light as gossamer.
He has doubtless carried this cover for
years, neatly packed away somewhere
about his cart. The "rikisha'' coolies
in the larger cities wear rain nantes
of this oiled paper, which cost less
than eighteen cents and last for a year
or more with constant use. An oiled
tissue paper, which is as tough as
writing paper, can be had at the sta
toners for wrapping up delicate arti-
Giles.
In the tea factories the piles Of paper
sacks filled with tea are made OF shibu
gami. 1t is said that these tanned
sacks keep the tea In better condition
than any other sort, and that they
last, with careful use, for many years.
Grain and meal sacks are almost al
ways made of this same paper in
Japan, for it is not easily penetrated
by weevils and other insects.
But perhaps the most remarkable of
all the papers which find a common
use in the Japanese household are the
leather papers Of which the tobacco
pouches and pipe cases are made
They are almost as tough as French
kid, so translucent that one can nearly
see through them, and as pliable and
soft as calfskin. These tobacco
pouches quite change ones notions Of
the characteristics Of paper, for the
material Of which they are made is as
thick as cardboard, but as flexible as
kid Geographic Magazine.

Another thing the tactful husband
does is to let his wife cry. / don't
mean that he drives her to crying, or
that he let's her weep while he stands
unsympathetically BY with his hands
in his trousers pockets, his feet apart
and grinning sardonically. I mean
that when an emotional woman needs
a good cry, he realizes that it will re-
heve the tension. He does not get up
and rage about and kick footstools out
of the way and say, "Oh, for heavens
sake, stop cryingp'
No! He goes and pats her shoulder
soothingly and says:
There, little woman! I'm sorry the
cook has left and your new gown hooks
up crookedly, but cheer up! Let's 60
out and have a jolly little dinner, and
tomorrow I'll write that tailor letter
that will make his hair curl"
Then she looks up through her tears
and thinks how handsome and big and
strong and glorious he is, and before
the dinner is over, she has thought up
two ways in which to economize. and
SO pay for the extravaganza Of his or
der to the waiter. For the common
purse is rot elastic, and she knows it.

My eyes glued the crevice. ] lost not
q single detail ef the august ceremony.
With eager curiosity / watch the
crowd as it gradually dispersed, while
the firenies extinguished their lights
one by one. Then noiselessly / turned
to trace on the moonlit path the course
Of the newly welded couple after exS
Treating themselves from the tumul-
tuous throng.
Where would they 60? Would they
fly away for their honeymoon toward
some distant nuptial flower, under
warmer azure, beneath more ardent
stars? Or would they content them
selves with the first convenient corolla
invitingly open under the discreet cur
tain of a leaf?
Wherever fancy leads you, oh, gen
tie bride and bridegroom, may the God
Of insects ephemeraI, and flowers
quickly fading, to you be kind May
you have much happiness in the few
hours of your brief springtime!
Never may the sabot Of peasant
or the slipper of woman who per-
chance seeks repose under tree cause
you fear as you wing your flight SO
close one to the other, over moss-clad
bank, from bush to bush! May the
dew-drops that you sip together be
ever perfumed to your taste! May the
chalice preferred never refuse an odor-
Gus lodgingl And if you should fall
into the clutches Of some cruel child,
may it be the same little hand that
seizes you both, SO that you may suffer
and die together!''
While was breathing these heart
felt wishes for their happiness the
two insects had not flown away; they
had climbed up the length of Bengal
rose bush, the topmost rose Of which
surrounded the ledge Of my window,
and / saw them disappear inside the
flower, whose petals, half gone, closed
softly over the tender pair.
Not for one instant would / have
thought of returning to my room by
the window, as / had left-a rustling
of the leaves would have disturbed
the rapt lovers in their first intimacy.
started, therefore, toward the door,
where | Happened to observe ON the
stone ledge another bug, which had
not perceived before and who without
doubt had followed the others.
What was its business here? Why
had it come? Was it a relative of the
bride, or-who knows?--a rival of the
bridegroom?
Many man has suffered under the
windows Of nuptial chamber; and
among insects perhaps as with us, it is
the misfortune Of some that becomes
the happiness of others.
The poor little creature remained
motionless, close by the rose bush.
I touched it with the end of my finger,
very gently. 1t stirred not. Alasi /
knew then that it was dead.

coming. This one Is made of insertion
held by fancy stitches and is combined
with waist of fine yelling that
matches the skirt, but the design is
appropriate for many other materials
and combinations and for the odd
waist as well as for the costume. The
friii of lace makes a noteworthy fea-
ture and gives peculiar grace to the
figure.
The waist is made with fitted foun-
dalton upon which its full front and
backs are arranged, and with point
ed yoke that extends over the upper
portion of both lining and sleeves, the
closing of both waist and yoke being
made at the centre back. When a
transparent effect is desired the lining
can be cut away beneath the yoke, or
the lining can be omitted altogether
and the waist and sleeves attached to
its lower edge.

Whence came it? What era la an
Gent or modern history produced it,
Did any woman ever live who looked
well in it?
These gaspings result from a con
temptation Of Fashions latest freak,
the deep armhole. 1t occupies the posi-
ton usual with armholes. its upper
edge at the extremity of the shoulder;
but from there it extends down. way
down into the side Of the waist, reach
ing a point only few inches above
the waist line. And this hiatus is filed
in with the sleeve. which is cut cor
respondingly enormous, hanging with
the graceful lines peculiar to potato
sacks in their leisure hours. One Of
these armholes noted had sort OF
binding OF velvet ribbon to conceal the
seam. OF course il this armhole is to
be it will be. We shall all wear it and
in course of time think it beautiful. But
at first it is more appalling than the
hoop skirt.
