CHRISTMAS WEEK. , FPRESENT-GIVING. That the veperable custom of making Christ- mas gifts bas not fallen into decpy in this quar- ter of the globo was evidenced by the lively ap- pearance of the Chicago etreats durig the latter part of tho week. State and Aadison strects in the “vicinity of Tax TrinuNE office were filled from noon until evening with, an ever-changing threng of well-dressed ladies end gentlemon, intent on buying gifts for those who were near and dear to them. The retail storcs on State street had their choicest and richest goods dis- played in bewildering confusion on coun- ters aod show-cases, while the windows wore docorated with all the fantastic gewgswal that the imaginztion can devise. The pavement in front of 1he florist shops was piled up with holly and evergreen, whila the intoriot was rich with bonquets, wreaths, and festoons. The scenes that occarred on the streot were in- teresting and Yrequently amusing, Haughty Iadies in velvet and silk were_hustied by vulgar apple-venders. Coaches with liveried drivers wandered anxiously up and down in search of lost ownera. Groups of poorly-dressed children were standing before windows, gazing longingly at the splendors displayed therein. There wero & vast amount of crowding, talling, shouting, and laughiog, making in all a scene of confusion rarely witnessed. It showed, however, that Christmas presents were as mach in fashion as ever, aud thuc people, despite the oft-quoted * hard times," were yet able to make large pur- <chases. NEW TEAR'S DAT.

Xew York Evening Mail, ‘White felt boanets are bocoming more popu- lar. They are made with a somewhnt -high crown, which is”encircled with a tulle and Vel- enciennes lace scarf. A tuft of whito flowers and & bow of white gauze are added at the side, and a roche of Valenciennes beneath the brim. In Paris, tolle bonnets to match the dress in color are very generally to be seen at the thea- tre, pale pink - or blue being ‘worn with both black and gray silk dresses. For dressy sfternoon boonets, brown velvet, made in the bebs form, are very fashion- able. They are trimmcd with a bow of velvet in the centre, and a éthall sigrette of & bird of para- dise at the side. Tho curtain and strings are of ecrn Duchesze lace. Bebe bonnets made of plush are also worn, and particularly of navy- blue plush. The most bacoming fora walking costume are the black velvet bonnets. Theyare often covered with feathers, and thin lines of silveror gold braid round the edge. Flesh- colored roses are much worn on brown felt hats, and never wero shadea velvet ‘leaves ‘and small berries 80 exquisitely made as at the present sea- son. s “La Boiteuse” (the Cripple) is the name French dressmakers give to the new tunic or ovorskirt, which is made to Jook one-sided by draping it higher on the rignt side than on the left. As yet it is not widely patronized, the more favorite pattern being a very deep tablier that reaches almost to the feet, and has large folds that meet in the middle of the apron, and are held there by bows; tho folds then slope up to the sides, and are lost in the drapery of the back. The front of costumes is_certainly the object- ive poiat for trimming. This -@eason all pufls and bouflant effects are abandoned, and the or- nnmentation i8 massed either in front or on the sides; but, as the pall-back sujt remains, the fullness is gathered behind, - There seems to be a marked intention to restore the polonaise to fayor; it only reap~ pears under a new name—the Princess over- aress. It is long-waisted, very slightiy drapod, and made of velvet, damask, fish. scale brocads, camel's bair, and Sicilienno. They look well 1n blueplum -brocade, with velvot collar, veivet sleeves, and three rows of small passementeria buttons down the front and a largs reticulo pocket at the side. The underskirt is {eille of the ssme shade, trimmed with broad bands of cross-cut velvet, Black velvet polo- naises are made in great variety. Somo aro ex- tromely elaborate and others very simple in the way of binding. The Iatter styls are porfectly plain at the cdges, with merely buttons, silk collaz, silk cuffs, unfi some silk bows on the tournures, while the former are loadod with Chantilly lace mounted with fringe, and headed with the neited passe- menterio that is as coatly as lace. Velvet polo- naiges that are slightly out of date cau be ensily modernized at small cost by mounting a row of silk bows on the back, making deep cuffs and ¥ron collar of emall silk folds and & cord in each fold, adding a single large full pocket on onoside, and a triple row of buttons in front. The ladies’ Ulsters are graaually gaining favor. They are fastened with a double row of very large gimp or silver buttons; the sleeves ars wide enough to elip on easily, and the square pockets are sufficiently roomy to contair a book, a Indkerchief, aod o fan. They are trimmed either with wide veivet, or with fur. The most stylish Ulsters reach to the feet. Largo circalar cloaks and long jsciets lined with fur are also in vogue. They ars made of heavy Autwerp silks, which are double width, algo of Sicllionne acd ordinary gros-grains ; they aro lined with equirrel far and bordered with black fox or with Alasku sable. Eveoing dreeses still continug to be much the same, bright colors being in E}elt {avor. The bertha is usaally made of the same matorial as the overskirt, Valencienoes lace is a favorite trimming, and velvet scarf sashes lined with silt of o paler color. Thoy are not making the tramns extremely long, but ‘the overskirts reach the fect. Pearl trimming on tulle flowers, worked on tulle with floss, silk, and passementerie of small col- ored beads, aro among the fashionable ésim- mings, Skirts are now 80 narrow that pockets outside and separate from the skirt only are possible. They are fastened to the waistband with an agrafle like a chatelaine. Black satin is often used for these pockete. It is gathered, and thereis 2 bow on it, the ends of which descend to the feet; for evening wear, double white Swiss ana white faille are used. . —————— i “COULD WE FORGET.” Conld we forget tho joy, delight of living; Tho thousaad el ‘somethings born of love; 0 wavering light of reason, comprehending e e T 0 heart’s impassioned yearnings, vaguely utf With calm o'ershadowings of heavenly things ; The burning breath that enters with & glory To thrill the songs our fancy ever sings ; The words unspoken, and the thouglts unwritin ; The ailence that lends loncliness a fongua ; The far-offl music, flosting near, like whispers, Tuning tho broken chords that lio unstrang ; The treasures buried, and the p Tho thumb outreaching of all voiceless gorror The words of cheer, that mete out all of praise : The groaning h es, and the eilent longings That weary life itself with ceaseless Pprayers ; The rhythmic rush of undefined expreasions, Drlng:ng Prosaic measures uuawares ; The full, complete, unsought, embodied spirit ;h?t hkeflnmudflndof nnrd!.n'.l"ligl souls, olding and soun curious fitnees g:bgd Lhowfl!\’:nd ‘l;nmit cg‘nf:’nh: e clixngeless tread of dreary nights and mornings ; The bitter cup wedrink, yet daily dread 5 - The gref, woe, an; , oll of life awakens ; The hops, fear, tery, that enshroads the dead 3 *¢ The love of Gfirwh‘ch passcth understanding -l The joy of Heaven, pains of Hell -And yot What life without all these would be worth having No—rather let us die ere we forget. !

Tho Japanese womea are usually smail and dumpy, butare often very beautiful, with smail hands and feet, and are exceedingly neat in dross and coiffure. Their Lisir is not. a8 is gonerally supposed, a true biack, butisa very dark browa ; in some instances is & pronounced red. Its blackness, and, unfortunately, conrseness also, is promoted by the custom of shaving the heads of children from their vory birth. It is made to appear very black and glossy by the use of un- guents and bandoline made from amueilaginous plant. Like the other sex (and this costume is universal among people of every age in Japan), they bathe daly in hot water, a public bath costing only half a cent. Bince 1863 tho Government haw pro- hibited the promiscuous bathing of both sexes, formerly commou. The women above 20 years oid, from time immemorial, have blackened their teeth with o mixtore of galls and powdered iron; but the Empress does_ not, and many ladies are now abandoning the fashion. The former cus- tom of married women shaving off their eye- brows 18 also falling into disuss, The pecuilar style of coifTure at once distinguiahes s Japaness maiden, wife, widow, or cyprian. All women ore carefully educated in housebold duties ; but the lower clagses scqure very little book- learning, though nesrly all women can read and write. The young ladies of the bigher classes devote much time to fancy work, their bright-colored robes being embroid- ered mth gay silks and gold. They are care- fully tanght from various books devoted tothe duties of a wife, motber, and housekeeper. Tho three principal duoties, as set forth in alarge volume entitled, ** Womaan’s Great Study, arc: 1. Obedienco, to parents when a child. 2. Obedience to her husband when a wife. 3. Obedience to ler eldest son when a widow. Halt their education is in books of etiquette. Thero is no distinction made between politeness and morals. Lgzng, cheating, deceiving, sian- dering, and like vices are simply *‘not polite,” &nd 50 are not permussible. Chinese women, even of the highest class, are not noarly so handsome, or by any meaus so cleanly, eitber in person or habits, as their Jap- anese siaters. The Chinese girl begics life with the dizadvantagoe that she is likely to quite sud- denly end it by being drowned in a tub of water or thrown into a canal or river. Even the higher classos kill off their superfluous she chil- dren, unleas now and then a girl can be given away to be .brought up in a family wanting & baby wirl to raiso up to be the wife, by and by, of a baby boy. The Catholic and Proiestant mis- sionaries have done what they could, Ly estib- lishing female foundiing asylums, to stop this infanticide. No Chinese family will have more than one ,or two girl children *‘around.” "'The much-talked-of cramped-foot business begins by bandaging when a girl is 5 or 6years old. It is a horrible practice, which withers the whole leg into a dried, skin-covered drum-stick, and altbough it is & special mark of caste, yet no bandage-footed female is ever per- mitted to enter the Imperial Palace or harem at Peking. The fasuion extends below the higher classes, even to families in the towns where tho girls must work for s hiving, and the deformed women work at home for shop-keepers, making needles, doing embroidery, and 80 on. In the raral regions the big-footed females work in the fields like and with boys and men. Polyzamy is common among the wealtby classes, but the firt wife rules the household. She is the *‘moon,” and the other wives and comca- bines are tho stars™ revolving around the * sun,” the husbsnd. If tho husband bas guesta for dinner the women are shat up by them- selves. In any class a woman who is barren, or who pereists in bringing forth female children only, will £nd things somowbat mnpleazant. A man may sell his wife to another man, not for a slave bat for a wife, ana in such case thewoman, like Barkis, must be “willin.” The women dress very sensibly in an easy costume. The rich wear silk aud linen in summer, ané in win- ter in the north latitudes they are the best buy- ers and wearers of costly furs in the world. A poor woman wears cotton. quilted in winter, and sho will pot change a garment till i is worn oat. Bingle and married women and prostitutes, as in Japan, are distinguished by thewr disiinctive dressiug of the hair. A widow must not wear a ‘red or other gay-colored skirs. A CURIOUS ROMANCE. Norfolk street, Strand (says the London Court Journal), has a curious commemorative monn ment. An obsorvant spectator will notice that the first floor windows of a large house at the corner of Howard street present a peculiar ap- penrance. The shutters are up, and they are covered thickly with dust, while through the chinks can be seen the blinds, also thick with dust, and moldering away with age. Theas shuiters and blinds have been in exactly the same position, untouched, for sbout fifty years. During that time no human foot, it is believed, bas entered that room. And the reason is this: Fifty years ago a certain nobleman was engaged to be ‘married, the day was fixed, the weading morning arrived, the breakfast was laid out in that epacious and handsome room, the bride- groom was ready to proceed to clurch, when it was discovered that the bride was miss- ing; apote in her handwriting was found ad- dressed to the bridegroom, briefly informing him thet she had eloped with his * best man,” a gay and gallant Captain of dragoons. The jilted bridegroom did not say much; buthe wentalone: o the room in which the wedding breakfast was 1aid out, with his own hauds put up the shutters and drew the blinds, locked the door, and took the key, He gave orders that the door should be nailed up and barred with padlocked bars, aod that 0o ono should enter the room again. ‘When the house yas let, it was stipulated that the room in question should remain untouched, and 8 sum of £200 per annum was psid to the tenant to compensate him for the deprivation of the use of thoroom. The nobleman has been dead some years, but it ia believed the room has never been enterad since he closed it, and there are the ‘‘wedding meats” moldering silently away, and the ornaments crumbling into dust in the funereal gloom, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'EM. There is a vast differance, eays the Danbury News, in the conduct of a man and a woman in new clothes. When a woman gets & new suit she immediately prances down town, £nd for hours will walk contentedly along a crowded thoronghfare, receiving fresh impulses of joy every time another woman scans her wardrobe. But o man is so different. He won't put on his now clothes for the firat time until it is dark. Then he goes down town 8o cautiously as to al- most create the impression that he is sneaking along. If he sees a crowd on a corper he will slip across the way to avoid them, and when ha goes into his grocery he tries to get behind as many barrels and boxes as he can, All the time he is trying his level best to appear s if the suit was six months old, and all the while realizes that he is making an iofernal failure of it. We hope the time will come when new panta will be 50 folded by the manufacturer that they ‘won't show a ridge along the front of each leg when the wearer dops them. 9 A GIRL OF SPIRIT. Her name was Belle Harper, and she lived jo Fairview, W. Va. She had a lover named Hatche, who finally cooled on her,—* gave her away,"” in the vernacular of the country. This ‘Was not to be quietly endured by s girl of spirit, - 80 ene dsy Bello loaded her father's shot-gun, im at her old lover, paesing on the side of the street, prayed to the Lora she said), and dropped him. Then she went i and ate a hoearty dinner, remarking to her ad- miring parent, in the course® of mastication : * Pap, Pve shot him.” These are the bara out- lines—bat whas a touching epic it would make ! Tbe force of the femslo character, its correct aims, its confidence in the Lord, and its quiet modesty in referring to 1t8 own triamphs, are hero all signally displayed. Young man, hers is tha woman for your money. WOES OF A HUSBAND. John Henry had been off on a business trip (eays tho Cincinnati Times), and got home at3 in the morning. He found the doors all locked, and tricd to get in at the back window, in the course of which proceeding a policeman nabbed him for a burglar. “Why, you big idiot, I live here,"” said the ig- jured man. **No you don't, cully; that dog won't jump. T've had the nippers on you afora. You'rs acun- uin’ cove, you are.” s “Bot I tell you,you blastod fool. that my name's Honry, and I live here. Just riug the bell and ask my wife. Bo the guardian of the law rang the bell, purely as a matter of form, for he knewhisman. Mrs. Henry stuck her night-cap out of the win- dow, and asked: ‘s that you, Charlie?"” “Who in tife blue blazes is *Charlie’? ™ thought John Henry, and, while his heart was boiling over with jezlousy, the policeman askeil: ¢TI your husband at home, ma'am? ** No, he's out of town, and won't be home for several days,” and then slammed the window down in a’hurry. 3 Bo the bewldered John went off to the station- house, and found out next morming that **Charlie” was a brother from the country wbo hau come to'make a few days' visit. WANTED ANOTHER TO BALANCE. Bays the Detroit Fres Press: He was aa old bacholor and ghe & widow of means and good looks. As they satin tie back perior the other evening he noticed # new picture hanging up, and ho adjusted his glasses and remarked : **A new picture, eh ? ** Yes, my husband’s monument,” ehe replied, 88 sho laid her band on hisafm. *Don't you think I was liberal > And if I only had another painting like it to balance this big chromo in the center it would just finish out my group!” He thi be will marry a maiden when he marries. SAW A ZEBRA. He was a man of dissolute practices and irreg- ular habits, and he lived here (says the Norwich Bulletin). He groaned in his sleep, and his wife arose to light the Iamp. Ho beheld the vast dis- play of striped stockinga, and then murmured to humself : +T've got "em sure this time.” **Got what 2" she inquired. “ Goi the dolinum tremens. I'm seeing ani- mals of all sinds. I've juat seen a zebra.” She turned down the light, and the menageria ‘was closed. HORSE-CAR ETIQUETTE. In a crowded horse-car on the Sixth avenus, the other evening (says the New York Sun), s gentleman who was seated resigned his place in favor of a pale, slender womsn, who carried a large child in ber arms, and was being jostled this way and tnat with the motion of the car. To the gentleman'a surprise, a burly individual took the seat before ths Iady counld reach it. ‘I meant this lady to have my seat,” said the gentlemt.n, sogrily. o aug:mpued the other, sottling comfortably back in his seat, ‘*dat lady ish my wife!” .
