o ~ ways sounded to THE TURKISH FACE BATH FAD A Fashionable Lady Describes Its Delights and Wholesomo Effeots. HE MARRIED THE JAPANESE MAIDEN Fatest Thing In Mouse Gowns—A gnted Diet—He Was Divorce—Burled “for is Mother's Sake.” Varie- to The fad par excellence is the Turkish faco bath, now to be had here in Phila- felphia as well as other cities, says the Times. The writer, in quest of the prime essential toward comeliness, gought the establishme ymmended 10 her by a well know of fashion, for, be it known, it is wise to be circum- spect in your masseur, as the novice is of no use whatever. This done we enter the shrine of the ultra-clean, A tinkle of a bell announced us and we were politely ushered into a Moorish looking apartment, with Oriental rugs, tabourettes, draperies and odor of spice and ointments, mysterious and_delight- ful. The ebony-hued maid pulled back a curtain and escorted us to athronelike chair. We were told to ascend into it, which we did with becoming dignity, Bnd operations were soon begun. It is toolong astory to go into, but we were kneaded by dextcrous hands, with creamy perfamed ointment, and when the manipulation ccased we were bashed at the sight of the towel. hereas it was white, after our face had been softly wiped the blackness of Fgypt was upon it and wo a evoteo _to water! Alas, for the ise in their own conceit! Next camo the Turkish vapor, the face bath, in fact; literally speaking, an Oriental bowl filled with bubbling water, odorous with mysterious ingredients, was placed upon a tabourette beforo us, and we were instructed to inhale it, while the attendant covered us with a heavy linen mantle, through which we gasped frantically for a fow moments, until we became accustomed to the steam, but we gradually grew passive and soon felt sleepy, as we poured our- selves away (seemingly to us) into that sweet smelling bowl. But while we drowsily thought of Araby the blessed our release came, and again we were sgain - wiped dry, then massage was iven by a person who showed by her andling a verfect knowledge of facial lines and the contour of the neck. A dust of leur do riz_and wo were pro- nounced clean. The result was very gratifying to ourselves, and as a means toward a fine color and a white, natural complexion, cannot be too highly spoken of. Given a good face cream, a bowl of steaming water, a heavy wel, some tincture of benzoin and a ‘‘tittle learn- ing” about the anatomy of face and neck, and almost any person who will observe the general rules for bathing and diet may have a skin of fine texture and rosy color. " At one time if a Japanese girl married & foreigner she wasinstantly decapitated. A Portuguese gentleman whom we met relatod his experience in this direction, says & Yokohama correspondent of the Chicago Record. He came here thirty years ugo and fell ia love with a Jap- Bhneso girl. Her parents warned her { the fatal consequences of marrying im. He was young and ardent and she romantic. “If you agree to marry me I will die with you,” he said. “Then I will marry you, die or live,” the pretty maiden said. Ho was a Catholic and he had prom- dsed his varents not to marry out of his religion. “Will you join the Catholic church?” he asked. “Join anything,” she replied, ‘‘for we die together,” They eloped and visited the nearest riest, who advised them against their fatal marriage, but to no purpose. “iShe cannot be baptized, confirmed and married all on the same day,” said the priest. X *She must,” said the lover, “I must,” said she, ‘for we both die tomorrow morning.” The priest waived a few custonary rules o fit the oceasion and performed all three ceremonies at once, and then interceded for the bride's life. The Mikado decided that he could not be- head the Portuguese, but the girl should fie. The priest warned him, saying: *‘She is now a Portuguese, too, and you would better postpone the decapitation ceremony until you confer with the Por- tuguese government.” Time was granted. The priest per- uaded. The husband pleaded. The Portuguese government demanded, After a corvespondence which lasted five years, and in which the British, American and other consuls or represen- tatives took much interest, the young woman was permitted to live. Mr. La Rosa, the happy husband, is now in busi- pess heve, with a family surrounding him, He, it is sald, isthe first European who dared to marry o Japanese, e I do think that more men remain unmarried because women get their voices in too shrill a key than for any pther reason.

The Japanese material of which the most luxnrions are made costs $15 a its silken surface covered with the art of Japan, in rich ambers, bronze and blue. In one seen recently the vich fabric flared off from tho neck in loose folds and was gathered in around the waist Dby a wide sash of white creve that was pinned over the loose back into tho usnal butterfly bow between the should- ors. The front of the robe, instead of lap- ping over all the way down, as is usual with Japancse gowns, fell apart at the waist, disclosing a full petvicoat of white crepe with an embroidered foot piece of gold. The one rever thatextended from throat to hem was of while crepe, gold embroiderod. A paiv of Japancse slip- pers in white and gotd completed tho effeet. A woman wears such a gown not alone for breakfast, but to_reccive her inti- mate friends in in her morning room, usually fitted upala japonaise,with fans, china sereens, bamboo and gorgeous stufls, While few care to afford morning gowns at $15 & yard (true, it only takes four yards to make one) artistic women like the “kimous” for morning wear and make them at home, some of them not costing more than §5. At the Japanese stores one can get crepes in delightful tones, dark or Jight, at 50 cents a yard, and the kimou usually requires only about five yards. Canton flannel in some pretty contrasting color is used to line the yoke, back and front, making it comfortable for winter. The gown is then cut from four straight widths, and shapeo to fit the armhole. Any yoke pattern will serve for this shaping. The revers can be faced with silk and the sash of sillk or erepe can be bought for $1, The kimou, thus fashioned, is thought to be more entirely comfortable for morning wear than any other cut of gown. especially for those women who 00 longer consider it chic to wear cor- sets in the house, If one hasn’t time to make a robe it can be bought ready made—of cotton crepe, in Oriental de- sign for $2.50, rapging from that price o 8125, that sum being asked for the genuine embroidered affair. *'x Nowhere do we need change more than in our diet. The law that makes boiled mutton days and rice pudding days of the domestic calendar is the worst of iaws. Because it is easier for the cock to know what to expect home from market each morning is no reason- able excuse for clinging to a certain routine in food with the regularity of a state’s prison or an almshouse. A united family is move to be regarded than one cook. Monptony is a dry rust upon in- terest in any branch of the home, whether it is a matter of furnishing, of diat or of toilet. If interest is gone in the menu and one cats mevely to satisfy hunger, loss of appetite and dyspepsia come to the fore. Nutritious food, well- cooked food and a variety in food are three necessary adjuncts to gastronomic P A riety is not meant here all the of a large market at every meal. The present elegant simplicity that has weeded out the old tangled mass of side dishes from the national board is certainly move dainty and more appetiz: ing than our former profusion. The question is merely one of chauge, If we breukfast upon croquettes today the chief piece de resistance tomorrow af the morning meal should be as far as possible removed from meat balls, Many otherwise well regulated house- 5 vibrate between eight or ten meat pts and perhapsa dozen of desserts, srcas both these numbers could easily be multiplied by 100 toothsome changes. If housckeepers were as caveful to ex- change the specialties of their several gooks as they are to pass about their misdemeanors there would not be so many hungry men stalking our streets— starved, not-from want, but from monot- ony.

Will you pa; ur 810 for my opinion now, or shall I send in my bill? And the other took out ten silver eir- cles, and went over to the police station and asked for a nlgl:l.'s lodging. " “If it is true that ‘man's inhumanity to man wakes countless thousands mourn, " said the wife of a New York business man recently to @ reporter of the New York Times, “it is equally true that a kind act touches a respon- sive cord in the human breast and malkoes us all_akin. And here is what will prove it. My husband had just reachod his office one morning not- veey long ago and had just seated himself at his desk té look over his mail. While opening a letter his eyes fell upon a P graph in the morning paper which open before him. It was to the ef- fect that an unknown man had been found dead in the street, and on his arm, when the body was examined, was found tattooed a grave, with a weeping willow drooping over it, and an inserip- tion: *To my mother.’ The newspaper said nothing could be learned of the man's identity, and closed fits account with the appeal: ‘Won't some good woman bury this man for his mother's sake? “Mr. B. was touched, and, seizing his pen, he wrote to the editor: ‘Kindly liave this unknown d. man decently buried and send the bill to we, (for his mother's sake.) 1 lost mp own mother in infancy.’ Of course, he had to give his address, and in acknowledging the note the editor printed this as well. We re- gretted that this had been done, but it brought to my husband many beautiful and touching letters from all sorts and conditions of men and women from all ts of the country. Ministers, law- labovers, rieh women and poor ‘king’ women wrote thanking him for his kindly decd and saying tbat it had brightened their faith in human nature.” fi.» In a summer resort in thoe Catskills thore still lingers a German lady who came to this country about tén years ago, ufter the death of her husband, who held some place at the court of the first Wilhelm. She was delighted beyond measure the first fall of her residenco here with the wealth of our autumn foliage, and cast about in her mind for some way to perpetuate its beauty. At lastshe hit upon the idea of arranging an aibum_ ot pressed leaves, which seemed to “her so beautiful when com- plete that she sent it to her old emperor for his approuching birthday. In due time an autograph note of thanks was received from him, in which he said that, altbough his gifts had been bountiful and beautiful, none had so en- tirely pleased him as this, which showed him something of the wonders of a far- nd. This autumn finds her again arranging the govgeous leaves for him whom she calls “my dearold Bismarck,"” adding, *'1 must send him that tribute before he dies.” It is usually considered a noteworthy circumstance for a man or woman to be married three times, but in olden times the number would have been thought little of. St. Jerome wmenticns a widow who married her twenty-sccond hus- band, who in his turn had been married to twenty-two wives. A woman named Elizabeth Mast, who died at Ilorence in 768, had been married toseven hus- bands, all of whom she outlived. She married the last of the seven at the age ot When on her death bed she re- called the good and bad points of each of her husbands, and, having impartially weighed them 1n the balance, she sin- gled out her fifth spouse as th e favorite, and desired her remains might be in- terred near his. 5. - *x 1t behooves our wealthy girls to be- ware of the young doctors who are yearly turned loose in large numbers to prey, as it will be seen, upon society. One of these recent graduates asked an old and prominent practitioner for advice as to the best course to pursue to succeed in his profession, The reply came quick and decisively: ‘“Connect yourself with some promineat church wWhere you will mingle in good societ; Make the acquaintance of wealthy girls and marry one of them, then the road is easy. If, on the contrary, you mingle with a poor elass of persons you may fall in love with and marry a poor girl.

Red veils are worn with the Spanish hats of red and black. Tailor made gowns area trifle less severe in make than formerly. Betterave, or beetroot, is the most fashionable of the many popular shades in red. Iridescent wings and shot silk velvets are among the stylish importations in millinery. Now mink capes of extra length have flat shoulders and are finished with yokes of scalskin, Ladi cloth in every weight and shade is shown as a ‘“leader” in all | fashionable dry goods houses. Wde full eravats of Mechlin, Bruges and guipure laces are worn with the coat basques that enjoy a waxing popu- larity. The new French swallowtail basque has two very long box pleats in the back, while in front it has a round zouave jacket-shanc. A favorite fancy in brooches is a wreath of gold leaves and berrvies. The leaves are often of burnished gold, with pearls for the fruit. China shells fashioned like oyster shells are offered, to be piled on cracked ice, and serve for raw oysters in lieu of the former oyster plates, Vert sperenza is the new name of a fashionable emerald-green shade that appears among brocades, shot taffetas and fancy evening silks. A novel idea in skirts is to have the foundation of light silk covered with a succession of overlapping rufiles of satin ribbon about three inches wide. Cherry-red velvet arranged as a soft Moorish erown or in fan-pleated stand- ing loops trims some of the most striking black velvet hats for youthful women, Bolero jackets of white velvet beaded with jet, spangled with steel and edged with navrow black fur are stylish ad- junets to frocks of black satin or moive. Long tight-fitting coats of heavy Lyons satin or moire lined with bright bro- cades, fastened with cut steel or jet but- tong, with jubots of handsome lace, are fashionable, Theater coats of black or dark green velvet have yoles, boraers and shoulder points of ermine. Sgme are in semi- loose sack shape from the yoke down, front and back. i The Princess May waist, which can be fastened in the back, and which has a surplice effect in front, is a pretty model for dresses of plaid cheviot,serge or sack- ing for school girls, Green, black and wine-colored velvet plateau hats for the theater are trimmed with costly cream laces and erect airy aigrettes held by glittering tri-colored mock-jewelled bueklos, Just at the moment ears are out of style.

I do not agree with my dad in e thing, and T don’t agree with him in this statement.

Bolng Inexporienced and Modest, Ho Slept on the Back Stairs, Guests at the Kennedy house were in good humor all of yesterday, says the Chattanooga Times, over an occurrence which bad transpived the night before. Wednesday there arvived from Florida a bridal couple who had come direct to Chattanooga immediately following tho ceremony. Brideand groom gave every evidence of refinement, and later develb opments proved their good breeding and modesty was most mavked. The gentle- man is a prosperous merchant in the land of flowers and his bride one of the brightest and most winsome buds in that garden of female loveliness. Tho couple reached the hotel late in the evening, and were immediately ushered into the bridal room of the hos- telry. Shortly following the disposition of the baggage the groom reappeared in the office of the hotel, where only the night clerk remained. That courteous ofticial, noting the nervousness of the stranger, made bold to inquire if ho could provide further toward his com- fort. The young man’s blush was akin to scarlet when he thanked the clerk and confessed he merely sought the office while his wife retired, and would him- self retive a little later. Some time elapsed, when the clerk suggested that the stranger appeaved sloepy and possi- bly the bride was exercised over his long absence. Again the Floridian's modesty painted his face a bright red as he arose and said he Dbelieved he would ““turn in,” In five minutes he was again back in the office. *Mr. Clerk,” he said, “I must ask your advice.” The modesty of both my wife and myself is developed to an ex traovding extent. While she was making her toilet for the night I with- drew. It seems she feaved intrusion, and to guard against it locked the door. She has evidently failen asleep, for I cannot awaken her. What shall I do? The cierk, who i3 a man advanced in yeavs, is of blunt architecture, and teadily responded: *‘Possibly your knock was of the timid character, it again, and with more demonstration,” The groom acted under instructions, but either the deep sleep of the bride or her extraordinary modesty denied the husband admittance, The elerk retired from the hallway to conceal his mirth, and the groom, thinking he was not de- tected, lost heart and quietly tiptoed down the hall, took a seat upon the back stair landing, and remained there throughout the entire night. Yesterday morning he made his toilet in the wash room, joined the bride at the breakfast table, and, when hunger had been appeased, settled his bill, and the couple took the first train for out of town.

There were only about 260 souls on tho island in 1885, and as they subsisted on the profits of fishing during a short sea- son of the year, it followed that idle- ness and drunkenness filled out the rest of their time. They consumed large quantities of strong drink and so wasted the money they made in the fishing sea- son that many of them suffered for food shelter during the inclement weather. Realizing to what a stage they had come some of the leaders among them got up a covenant or agree- ment by which the drink curse was to be mastered. The signatures of the islanders were sccured to a pledge to abstain and it was sly lived up to0, so that the once favorate “‘sake” and “sochu” can no longer be obtained among them, After a trial of five years the prosperity of the island has im- mensely increased, its population‘more than quadrupled and the capital in- vested in the fishing industry increased tenfold. nght her; be froe. nous loys for three.
