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

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."
