LADIES' DEPARTMENT. An Helical e Hint. Nlr. llealey of New York, had some time since as a subject for a portrait a young lady who came to his studio so dedizzened with paint and powder that every characteristic line was obliter ated. Mr. llealey was, of course in a dilemma. lie could not order the girl to go and wash her face. He would lose his commission, and he is too polite a gentleman. He could not lay the same paint on canvas that there was on her face; it would not be satis factory to the family. When the sketch was lined in he rose from his 6eat, sat down beside his subject, and kindly asked her if she was feeling as well as usual. Surprised of course,she replied that she was. "But, Miss Jones, you walked from your hotel, did you not?" "Yes." "And you came hurriedly up stairs without stopping to rest?" "Why yes, of course." "'Ah, yes, Miss Jones, but you see, though you may not be feverish, you have exerted yourself so severely that there is so much color in your face that I fear it would mislead me. Now to-morrow, if you will be so good, please bathe your cheeks in cool water the last thing, come in a close carriage, and stop and rest yourself upon the sofa you will find on every landing. In that way I am sure we shall have no more trouble." nis speech had the desired effect. The faint flush on her face when she came the next day, was perfectly natural and did not at all retard the picture.— Wathitiyton Capi tal. Fashion Notes. Even mantles are made of plaid stuffs. Gay colors in costumes are worn only in the house. French dresses are again made with the high puffed sleeve. Strawberry velvet trims white cos tumes of cashmere and vigogne and nuns' veiling. Pale mauve and pale yellow embroid ery on white kid appears as a trimming for evening toilets. Red in moderate quantities gives a fine dash of bright color to black, gray, pale blue, and ecru dresses. It is the fashion of the season to use figured goods for the lower skirt and plain goods for the waist and over skirt. The exception that proves this rule is when Watteau over dresses are made of gay figured sateens with plain skirts flounced with lace. Black satin and silk suits for sum mer wear are made up in the simplest styles, imitating the woolen costumes made by the tailors. The black draperies fall in wing-like points on very light pleatings or even on skirts that are quite plain in the back breadths and the aprons are un trimmed. The trinknings for dress skirts are not elaborate, yet tire very effective. Tb finish the foot of Ottoman silk or Sicilienne skirts are four bias gathered frills, made quite scant, an eighth of a yard wide when finished, and sewed on to lap half their depth to give a bunchy appearance; these have a self binding or milliner's fold on the lower edge. YISIT TO A HAREM. What the Wife of a Kew York Xintster Saw iu One, The ladies of the literary society of the Madison Avenue Congregational church, New York, listened in the church lecture room to a description Mrs. John P. Newman, the wife of the clergyman, of her visit to the harem of the pasha of Hillab, Baby lon. Mrs. Newman's visit was made ten years ago, when she was traveling with her husband, who was not per mitted to accompany her into the in terior of the harem. "The gates of the 'Abode of Bliss,' " said Mrs. Newman, "closed instantly after I entered the building. A long corridor opened into the main apart ment of the harem. It was furnished ■with gorgeous tapestry hangings, and sumptuous satin furniture of curious design. • The curtained windows looked out upon blooming gardens. Ranged about the chamber in various attitudes were a score of women. Some were seated on divans and some were kneel ing. Thirteen of them were the wives of the pasha. A cloud of negro servants attended to their wants. I could speak hut a few words of Arabic, but we were at home on the subject of dress, which has a universal language of its own among women. All the women had large, long-lashed and lustrous eyes, and dark, finely chiseled features. Their costumes were magnificent, and strangely fash ioned of rich satins and loaded with ornaments of gold and jewels and gar lands of pearls. Their head-dresses were of silken gauze, held by bands of gold, and surmounted by graceful ostrich feathers. They wore silk trousers and silver slippers, and their finger nails were tinged with yellow. To an elderly lady, very queenly in her movements, implicit obedience was yielded by the others. The air of the apartment was heavy with the per fume of sandal wood. A crowd of colored servants brought in cigarettes and sweetmeats and coffee, and of these delicacies I was pressed to par take. '♦The eatin<r of these dainties aijd gossiping with each ether the whole day lone is the sole occupation of these women of the harem. They live in luxurious bondage, in blissful igno rance of the outside world. I longed to reveal its beauties and possibilities to them, but could converse only by gestures, before 1 left, a baby pasha was shown to me. Its mother looked like a veritable 'Sleeping Beauty/ The babe was wrapped in folds of fine linen, and its wardrobe consisted of over fifty different articles of apparel. The interest shown in the baby and the mother by the other women of the harem was to me a beautiful evidence of the universal sisterhood of women." Pantnloons. "Can you remember tho styles of pantaloons that have prevailed in this country ?" "Let me see," said the tailor ; "yes, they are all before mo in my mind's eye. There were tho breeches of the period immediately succeeding the Rev olution. They were short, reaching only to tho knees, mostly made of cloth, buttoning ai the sides. The wealthy wore them of velvet, or cord- urov, as the fancy seized them, or of doe cloth. The first long pantaloons as I have told you were merely com fortable bags, and this was principally due to the fact that they were home spun—made by willing, but unskillful, hands. Tho first improvement was when they were so altered in construc tion as to button elsewhere than at the side. Suspenders were not used until comparatively recent times, somewhere about 1640, 1 believe. " Distinctive stylos in breeches date from the close of the war. Then there came the garments tight at the waist and to the knees, where they bagged enormously, giv ing the appearance of swelled joints. The pockets were called • top pockets,'and could be reached only by pulling the vest up to the chin. Later they were cut high in the waist and medium in the legs. This was a return to first principles. The next to achieve popularity were those miser able 'tights/ They fitted the nether extremities like eelskins, an 1 suddenly swelled to awful proportions at the bottom. They were the invention of a rowdy, and it was a shame decent peo ple ever wore them. I'm glad they're gone. The hip pockets came into fashion along with the 'tights.' Young bloods fain would carry pistols, and, it being found cumbersome to add anot her pocket to the coat, the inoffensive breeches were subject to the gross im position. At first the buttons of these garments were made of bone, then of rubber, later of metal, and now of metal in the shape of rivets, that decay only when the breeches themselves be come deceased. The present styles are elegant, and a decided advance on any that have preceded. The trousers of to-day is as complete an institution as can be wished for. There are well contrived recesses for the watch, the pistol, the whisky fiask, keys, knife, comb, handkerchief, pocket-book; in short, everything that the most fastid ious man could desire to have about him. The only thing left for man to do is to learn how to wear breeches. Tall, slim men, with spider legs, should wear close, but not tight-fitting, gar ments ; fat men look best in tight pantaloons ; swells wear stripes ; gamb lers, plaids; Quakers, quiet colors; ministers, plain black cloth. Reporters glory in broadcloth, much to the disgust of the tailors."— Philadelphia Pren6. The Poise of Animals. In horses the pulse at rest beats forty times, in an ox from fifty to fifty-five, and in sheep and pigs about seventy to eighty beats per minute. It may be felt wherever a large artery crosses a bone, for instance. It is in the horse on the cord which crosses over the bone of the lower jaw in front of its curved position, or in the bony ridge above the eye; and in cattle over the middle of the first rib, and in sheep by placing the hand on the left side, where the beating of the heart may he felt. Any material variation of the pulse from the figures given above may be considered a sign of dis ease. If rapid, hard, and full, it is an in dication of high fever or inflammation; if rapid, small, and weak, low fever, loss of blood, or weakness. If slow, the probabilities point to brain dis ease, and if irregular, to heart troubles. This is one of the principal and sure tests of the health of an animal. Long Finger Nails. According to the writer of an article on "Extraordinary Finger Nails" in the World of Wonders, it is the custom of the Chinese, Siamese, and Annamese to allow the nails on all their fingers, ex cept the fore finger, to grow to a great length, and among the former they sometimes attain the incredible length of from 16 to 18 inches. Among the Siamese so distinctive a mark of nobil ity are long nails esteemed that the belles and beaux we a.- silver either to protect their nails or else to make people believe they are there, whereas in reality they are not. • As regards the little finger, the writer tells us that "Ambassadors and visitors of distinction from Asiatic states to Eu rope are often observed to permit the excessive growth of the nail of the lit tle finger, and this is also a common occurrence with many Gf the people of India and other parts of Asia."
