A LONG WASH DAY.


II LASTED 4 Week, but Came Only Four
Times Year.
Every one has heard of the German
All Dutch method of accommodating
soiled clothes and of having wash
day only two or three times u year.
Not every one realizes. perhaps that
country from Holland and that the
Dutch settlers long continued its prac-
tice. In these days Of the ever ready
laundry it is strange to read of the
laeorious period which came 10 our
New Amsterdam ancestors four times
a year. Helen Ever,son Smith tells
about it in Colonial Days and Ways"
The custom Of quarterly clothes
washings was maintained notwith-
standing our summer heats and the
immense quantities of clothes neces-
sary to keep up the state OF cleanli.
ness required by Dutch instincts. \
New EngIander who had married a
citizen of New York writes in 1T6o
Of this practice, which was undoubted-
ly strange to her:
Grandmother Blum is SO deep in
her quarterly wash this week that she
has time only to send her love"
The washing was done in an out
house called the bleeckeryen. where
the water was boiled in immense ket-
ties and all the other processes OF. the
laundry work carried on. The work
required not less than a week. fire.
quently two weeks.
During the time preceding this cruel
ly hard labor the soiled clothes were
accommodating in very large hampers of
open basketwork. This custom origi-
mated the necessity for the great stores
provided.

An interesting action regarding the
commission to be paid to matrimoni-
al agent who claims that he was in
strumental in bringing about a mar
facturer and young woman who re-
joiced in the possession of a fortune of
100000 has just come before the
courts.
The commission claimed by the mat
rimonial agent was $4,000. He con.
tended that for several years the lace
manufacturers son had asked him to
find a wealthy young woman with a
view to matrimony." Eventually he
introduced him to the young woman
whom he married. Meanwhile the
young man had given a written prom
Use of commission to the matrimonial
agegnt, which the latter returned to
him.
The young man declares that he did
not enter into a business transaction
with the matrimonial agent, and there
fore did not give promise as to COM
mission. He further added that he
was not the author of the letters con-
tributed to him, and as for the photo
graph produced he admitted that it
was his, but could not understand how
it had fallen into the hands of the
agent. The result of the case, which
has aroused considerable curiosity,
will not be made known for some time.

IN A ROMAN CAB.
A Party oi pissusted Americans and
an OversratefuI Driver.


In Mr.. Howells' Roman Holidays
and Others" is this delightful story
Of an adventure in Roman cab:
In returning from the Plncio the only
cab we had been nble TO get was the
last left Of the very worst cabs In
Rome, and we had hidden the driver
wait for us at the church steps, not
without some hope that he would play
US false But there be was, true 10
his word, with such disciplined fidelity
as that of the Roman sentinels who
used 70 die at their posts, and We
mounted to ours with the muted
prayer that we at least might reach
home alive.
This did not seem probable when the
driver whipped up his horse. 1t APP
peared to have aged and sickened
while we were In the church, although
we had thought II looked as bad as
could be before. and It lurched alarm
ingly from side to side. recovering IT.
self with a plunge Of Its heavy head
away from the side IN which Its body
was sinking.
The driver swayed on his box, hav-
ing fallen equally decreplt, in spite Of
the restoratives he seemed to have APP
piled for his years and inirmlties. His
clothes had put on some such effect
OF extreme decay as those of Rip Van
Wrinkle in the third act; there was
danger that he would fall on top OF
his falling horse and that their raj
ment would mingle in one scandalous
ruin.
Via Sistina had never been so full OF
people before: never before had II been
so long to that point where we were
to turn out of 1t Into the friendly OBJ
security Of the little cross street which
would bring us TO our hotel. We could
not consent to arrive In that form; we
made the driver stop and we got out
and began overpaying him to release
US.
| But the more generously we over
paid him the more nobly he insisted
upon serving us to our door.
At last by such lavish expenditure
as ought richly to provide for the few
remaining years Of himself and bis
horse, we prevailed with him to let us
40 and reached our hotel glad, al
j most proud, to arrive on foot.
