NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Having
/, been in a state of coma for 10 days,
Luke Dolan, "a years old, a patient
in the Kings County hospital, was
brought to consciousness yesterday
by the shock of seeing very little
woman visitor wearing an enor-
mously big hat enter his ward.
When the young woman entered
Dolan's eyelids lifted the merest
shade of fraction of an inch. The
hat came nearer, the lids opened
further. The hat advanced to with
in 10 feet of the bed. The eyelids
opened to their widest extent, and
Luke sat up in bed.
"Oh gee! Look what's with
us" he exclaimed in a booming
voice. as if all the lkeHs-up energy
OF weeks had found vent.
Nurses and convalescent patients
crowded around to see what had
wrought the marvellous change in
Dolan's condition. He burst into a
spasm of laughs, waved one hand at
tho hat and with the other seized
an orange. He ate it, too-the or

The rest of the fellows are blinded

WOMEN OF VALAIS.

dom. From time immemorial the
women have worn the Greeks" and
performed the manual labor Of the
fields, while their lords and masters
lounge their days away in ease.
What is more, the women are
quite content with this inverted Or
der of things and are perfectly sat
isfed if their husbands brew the
herbs, fry the meat and look after
the baby, while they wrestle with
the sterner duties Of the field and
stable.
And not only do the women Of
Valais wear trousers for conven-
fence when working in the field OF
tramping after cattle, but also on
Sundays and fete days. "They have
better looking ones for these occa-
sions, | must confess" says Miss
Van der Veer in the Wide World
Magazine, "but they have no
hanksring for the trammels Of
skirts even during their counting

their sweethearts' arms around
their waists, looking to the casual

zone can scarcely imagine we'd
ding party with bride and BRIDE
groom dressed in the same kind Of
garments, but / have seen enc in
the mountains, when the bride wore
q white bodice, white trousers and
a bunch of white violets in her hair
She was as pretty as a picture, tso,
despite the attire, and quite as
blushing and shy as any bride cut
of a convent.
"The working day trousers are Of
the homemade variety and by no
means becoming. Often they are
SO long and baggy that they seem
almost as cumbersome as skirts
would be. The most amusing part
about this working costume is that
the upper part remains feminine,
being the ordinary rough bodice Of
the peasant woman, often in bright
colors Of red or blue.
"And in spite Of their familiarity
with trousers the women of Valais
do not walk or sit in a masculine
manner. Amy one can see at a
glance that they are women in
mems clothes. They always sit
sideways on horseback and get over
fences by first mounting to the top
rail and sliding down, woman fash
ion, instead Of striding over, man
fashion.
"Another feminine absurdity is
the wearing of long sort OF toga,
which trails down their backs and
gets in the way whenever they bend
over or go through the tangles of
the mountain wood.
