green.
There seems no objection to gam

wish you could see these peasant
women on Sunday. 1t is then that
they come out in their richly en-
broidered dresses. They weave all
that they wear in their own homes,
and this is so of the clothes of the
men as well as the women. The
women have an underGarment that
reaches from the neck to the ankles,
and outside it one or two overdresSes
which are gorgeously embroidered in
patterns of red, yellow or blue. They
have belts which are embroidered in
sold, and a common oVerSkirt has
band of woven gold thread and silk
or wool about Il foot wide, TO which
is hung long Streamers of red or
some other color. The headdresses
vary, according to the region. Some
times they are high caps and some
times only q handk erchief wrapped
around the head. The women are
fond of necklaces and silver and gold
coins and delight in bright belts.
The embroidery is so beautiful that
it is greedily bought by tourists, and
blouses and embroidered gowns are
made for sale to the cities. In
Sinaia one can get Il beautiful lady's
blouse almost covered with embroid-
ery for So and a rown for SO or SIS.

that the bride is supposed to cover
her hair as soon as she is married,
and that her hair is not TO be seen

her husband. At this time she gives
her bridesmaids her hairpinS, indicat-
ing the hope that they soon will be
married.
During the wedding ceremony the
couple goes to the church barefooted
and the bride wears over her dress 4
wreath of golden threads that fall 70

Scientific Toy.

A MONG the curious scientific toys
is the instrument called the
.aeroscope" 1t consists OF a wooden
paddle about six and half, feet long
and three inches wide, whitened with
chalk and turning about its middle
at the rate of $500 turns a minute.
When in motion the paddle resembles
a thin, circular screen through which
objects can be seen.
At a distance of nearly four feet
behind the whirling paddle and par
allel TO its plane of rotation is fixed
a black screen. The apparatus being
placed in a dark chamber, a brilliant
Photographic image is projected upon
the moving paddle and the image
seems to stand forth with all the
solidity of a real object
The perspective is supplied by the
reflection of the image from the
black screen behind as we'll as from
the semi-transparent screen formed
by the rotating paddle.
