From the Antipodes.
An exceedingly pretty little girl is
Frau Matilda Bussche, the daughter
of that blonde giant Baron Bussche,
Secretary of the German Embassy and
his dark-complexioned South Ameri-
can wife whom he married while sta
toned in the Argentine Republic at
the other end of our continent. Little
Miss Bussche has striking combina-
ton of dark eyes and fiaxen hair and
despite her tender years she speaks
two different languages.
Other South American children in
this odd community in Washington,
are the two sons of Senior Baez, the.
Minister from the little known Re-
public of Paraguay. The new Mexican
Ambassador and Sonora Casasus have
seven children; Hector, aged eighteen;
Evangelina, fifteen; Horacio, fourteen;
Margarata, thirteen; Mario, eleven;
Leon, nine and Jorge, seven. At the
home of the Envoy from Costa RIGA

higher rank than a Minister) to come
to the United States from any South
American country. These young people

language whereas the junior citizens

The city Of Washington has among
its Inhabitants colony of foreign
children who bring to our Republic,
the manners and customs of many
far-off lands. They are the sons and
daughters of the officials known as
diplomats-men sent by the various
governments of the world to act as
their agents at the headquarters of
Uncle Sam. Quite number of these

1t is comfort to us to look forward
to the day when our children and our

the same chance or an equally good
chance with us, or the chances that
our fathers and our grandfathers had

that we have to make or secure, each,

GULF STREAM SWIMMERS.
THEY ENCOUNTER MANY UN=
KNOWN AND SINGULAR DEM
ZENS OF THE DEEP.

Starting Experience of a Moonlight
Swim in the Great Ocean Current
Accomplished by Shark-Scared Big
Fish Away.
The wharf rats of New York and
other large cities who seem willing
to brave the wrath of the officers of
the law are but the making of many
of the most fearless swimmers of the
world A commercial traveller who
journeys, not only all over the pre-
cincts of the United States, but in
foreign lands as well, in speaking OF
his happy boyhood days when he as
ISOLATED with the daring swimming
population of the Metropolis, said that,
however pleasant and enjoyable his
youthful excursions, they were not to
compare with swim in the Gulf
Steam-the Gulf Steam, teeming with
life, that only one whose nerves are
in absolute consonance with the
ocean can escape. Wrigging and dart
ing things grip unseen at the SWIM
mer's breast and arms. Silvery flashes
before his face tell of fish turning
their glittering sides sharply as they
leap away at his approach. Big and
little, rising out of enormous depths
to sink again half seen, all conspire
to make that sunlight splendor a place
of sudden terrors to any except the
fearless.

daughters of Yung Kwai, Chinaman
who acts as Interpreter at the Legation
whose wife is an American formerly
living in Springfield, Mass.
The daughter of the Minister is
known even to her intimate friends
as Miss LANG Like other Celestial
women of high station she has given
name but the Chinese are a very for
NAL people and the Minister'S daughter
is seldom addressed by her first
name even by her father. Minister
Liang's two sons who now speak Eng
lish almost as fluently as their father
adopted American dress from the day
they took up their residence in Wash
ington but tie daughter of the Envoy
still clings to her native dress con-
sisting of loose blouse and trousers.
Chinese fashions have not changed
in centuries but Miss Liang's costumes
are made by Chinese tailor connect
ed with the Legation. Her costumes
are of the richest silks and satins,
black and white being her favorite
colors The quaint Chinese shoes that
she wears cause this young lady to
walk in what appears to American
eyes, rather dWkWdIu ldSulOu Dul
she has not the small, deformed feet
such as have prevented some of her
predecessors at the Chinese Legation
from walking without assistance.
Young Chilean Ladies.
Two young people who have made
many American friends during a long
term of residence in the United States
are the daughters Of Senior Don Joa-
quin Walker-Martinez, the Minister
from Chilli. These young ladies have
been living under the Stars and
Stripes for nearly five years and have
attended American schools. They
have the clear olive complexion, dark
hair and eyes and rich coloring typi-
cal of the Latin Races.
As has been mentioned above there
are many young people in the house
holds of the ENJOYS from South and
Central America and the West Indies.

TRAVELS OF A PRESIDENT.

In these days when we discuss the
propriety of paying the travelling ex-
penses of the President, says the Gin
cinnati Times-Star, it is interesting to
note similar condition in Brazil. DIR.
Alfonso Penna was elected president
on his promise to visit all of the pro-
vinces, in order to become personally
acquainted with the conditions of the
country. He left Rio Janeiro in the
middle of May DIR. Penna was sched-
uled to stay six days at Bahia, two at
Maceio and four at Recife. Then he
would visit Ceara, Para and Manaos;
thence he would return by way of the
Amazon river, and go to the southern
States, Sac Paulo, Rio Grande do Sui,
etc. The president-elect expected
that his voyage of inspection and in
struction would last three months. He
will study especially all questions re-
lative to industry, railroads, public
instruction and production. DR.. Penna
is accompanied by his son, Alvaro, and
a civil engineer, Aarao Refs, and also
by several representatives of the Bra.
lillian press.

"PEEK-A-BOO" QUESTION
Feminine Conraption Described Number of Holes ImpeCty
Surrounded by Threads is Now Proposition

Hence the recent stand taken by a
Rochester clergyman shows self-deni-
al. He has barred all women wearing
the diaphanous waists from his
church. He has sacrificed his own
pocket to a sense of public duty.
They are worse than bathing suits. "
he declared. Two of his own flock
were recently ordered home to put
on more clothes" And yet we hear
talk on every side of the commercial
spirit of the age, the lowering of ileals,
the decline of the true Christian I'M
selfishness! Here at least is a man,
proof against the banalities of the
period. His advanced position regard
ing women's waists, the boldness of
his stand, the grandeur OF his con-
ception of the minister's duty to his
parishioners-seeing his true function
in sort of divinely ordained dress
maker to feminine seekers after re-
ligious instruction-all these irresis-
tibly indicate that great vineyard
worker has arisen in the land. The
peek-a-boo D. D. from Rochester will
be heard from again.
The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-06-20

That feminine contraption, the
peek-a-boo waist, described as a num-
Der a large holes imperfectly sur
rounded by small threads, is one of
the most delectable articles of wear
ing apparel ever devised by the dress
makers. 1t has probably tangled
more men into the tolls of matrimony
than the Della Fox curl, the Marcel
wave, or any of the other weapons
with which the gentle sex is wont to
arm itself when on conquest bent.
Naturally enough most males are
preiudiced against this dangerous
contrivance. There are, however, GER
tain men in every community deriv-
ing financial profit from the peek-a-
boo whom personal interest, it might
be expected, would blind to it's Grim
inal character. Prominent among
these interested parties are the cler-
gymen. A not unimportant part of
the duties of this profession in a good
marrying community-a helpful by
product of their professionals the

save the Grand Army of the Republic
and the Loyal Legion. He is a mem
berof the Ohio commandery of the

his splendid moral qualities have al
ways distinguished him as a man of
