SiciIian Carts.

vistas in Sicily: Of all the
vehicles in the world there is
none to equal the Sicilian
cart, carved, yellow, poneled with
lurid paintings that u the gan1ut Of
myth and history. One we saw had
upon it's panels scenes that represent
ed Columbus sailing from Palos and
discovering America, a bloody fight
round the citadel of Acre, the hermit
age Of Santa Rosalia, and on its tail
board a vivid picture of the massacre
of the Vespers. The carts are never
very large, as carts go, but they are
80 marvelously wrought that they
ought surely to come under the provi-
sions OF the law that forbids the ex-
~portation of any works OF art. Wheels.
shafts, axles, the edges OF sides and
posts and tailboatds are all worked
into neat geometrical designs, and on
the axle is a carving built up clear
to the bottom OF the cart, q mass Of
intricate scrollwork and gingerbread,
in the middle of which sits the patron
saint Of the fortunate owner.

Countess de Bertier. wife Of an at
tache of the French embassy as Wash
ington, has startled society with her
costumes direct from Paris. Having
just arrived, the countess comes with
the latest things turned out by the
Paris designers, and she has shown
some Of their extreme fashions.
While many women in Washington
society wear fashionable clothes, they
had not seen anything, except in pic
lures, just like the countess wears.
The position of her husband, OF
course, brought her into society at
once, and the matrons and young wo-
men have watched her many changes
with great interest.
