Came Down Crab Fashion

F.. Norton Goddard, the conaueror
OF New York's policy evil, told at the
recent dinner given in his honor at
the Savoy hotel an odd story of a
maid servant
'"This maid" he said "had Just
come over from the old country, and
she was very green. Everything she
did proclaimed her greenness. One of
her habits was always to come down
stairs backward.
Il assure you, it was funny sight
to see her descending staircase
slowly in that way. Her hand grasped
the balustrade for safety, and every
little while she looked round TO see
how much farther she had to 20.

Women in South Africa.

Openings for women in South Afrj-
ca appear to be many and varied. Z
woman writing on this subject says
the popularity of this country is it's
unfamiliar conditions of life. Lux
uries are more in demand than neces-
stiles. The range of employment
open to women is wide one, vary
ing from domestic service to beauty
doctor, but everything is much more
expensive in this newly opened land
Living in the Transvaal is at least
100 per cent dearer than in London.
Laundresses., are scarce and; the.call-
ing in small favor among the women
at the Cape, who fear social ostracism
If they turn to the washtub. This
and the. fact that doilies are being
sent out to some of the houses need
ing decent furniture throws a curious
side light on this country. There are
chances for much money to be made
by clever women caterers at railway
stations These are few and far be-
tween and the rentals enormous.

DRESS OF EASTERN WOMEN.

Fashions Changes Have Little to %
with Their Costumes. T..
Many Mohammedan women In India
wear petticoats, generally very wide
indeed, and falling in heavy folds.
Some wear an underpetticoat of fine
calico as protection to the costly
stuff of which the outer garment is
composed or to escape friction. The
stuff-satin, silk or cotton cloth is
gath cred into strong band of tape,
which is tied over one hip, and the
plaits or gathers are carefully made,
SO as to allow the cloth to fall in
graceful folds. Over the choice or
bodice is a light muslin shirt, which
continues below the waist, called a
koortun. Over all scarf of white or
colored muslin of fine texture called
doopatta, passed once around the
waist and thence across the bosom
and over the left shoulder and head,
like the saree, completes the costume.
When the petticpat is not worn by
Mohammedan women pyjamas or
trousers take their place. These are

they can be made. The cutting out
Of these tight trousers is no easy mat
ter, for they have several cores on
the inside of the thigh and are COLI

tight, and do not hinder the wearer
from sitting cross-legged. With the
trousers, which are tight at the waist,
are worn the cholee bodice, the koor-
tun or shirt and the doopatta or scarf.
In full dress the Mohammedan lady
wears the peshwaz or Persian robe, in
which dancing women usually per-
form. 1t has long tight sleeves, a
tight body crossed in front and very
vOluminous muslin skirt, the most
fashionable amplitude being about
forty or even sixty yards in circumfer

Western Blood,


Ny tower faces south and north,
And east it opens wide,
But not a WindOw-pane looks forth
Upon the western side.
I gaze out north on city roofs,
And south on city smoke
And to the east are throbbing hoofs.
The rush Of city folk.
But not a ray OF western light
May fall across my work
No crevice opens to the night
Where western eyes may lurk
My crowded days are spent in quest
OF eager city things,
And when the little birds fly west,
ss2n>sss
But they who once have climbed the
town
When daylight fingered late,
And watched the western sun so down
Athwart the FURNISHED gate,
And felt the rolling fogs descend,
And seen the lupin blown
(And know what things a western friend
May offer as his OWN
All, they can never STILL for long
He knows what would be best
Who built my tower high and strong,
And closed it to the west.
