A Philadelphia Gallant.

There is nothing that astonisles a
woman so much as meeting a man who
takes her at her word. A certain very
impetuous young woman, living in the
suburbs of this city. experienced this
unique sensation when she attended
musicale given by friend and met
a specimen of the too literal male. She
was about to leave the house when
her hostess called after her: "Oh, don't

night alone. Mr. G. will be glad to SO

Japanese Shoe Shops.

Like all other shops in Japan, a
shoe shop opens broad side to the
street. 1t seems misnomer to cali
it shoe shop. place where you can
only buy sandals or clogs, things we
are not accustomed 10 call shoes.
There is low platform in front, upon
which the customer sits and drinks
tea while making Lls or her pur-
chases, the shopkeeper meanwhile
squatting on his heels and discussing
the news of the day. The sandals
worn by the rickshaw coolies are call
ed warafi; they are woven of rice
straw, and are sold at halfpenny a
pair. They are made in the country
villages, and the foreigner watches
the weaving with amused interest.
The prehensile big toe of a Japanese
is of great assistance, as it is used
for catching and holding the straws,
leaving the hands free to weave. The
pack horses wears straw shoes, as
well as the farmer who leads him.

On arrival of the vessel at Falmouth
