She took my check, gave mo a sheet
mul led the way to ono of the compart
ments lining the hall. These "rooms,"
ho called by way of courtesy, are little
more than clooets, each furnished witlt a
roomy, eider down couch, a Turkish ta
ble and a mirror. Curtains tin brass rods
divide them. For this reason, as 1 soon
discovered, conversation between inti
mates from room to room, unless car
ried on in a very low tone, can bo heard
by nearly everybody else. Before I loft
the bath I had overheard so many bits of
toothsome gossip, so many characters
torn to bits, ho many fads discussed, that
1 was a howli'ig siicc,es3 at a 5 o'clock
tea afterward.
The place was very hot, and It was de
lightful to lay aside the fripperies which
our modern civilization hna decreed that l
no properly dressed wontati can do with-1
out, and wrapped only in ncool, laveu
tier Hcented nheet hurry down the hall
to jH'iietrate the mystery of tho steam
room. Ah I opened the glass door,
blurred with mist, n medley of Hounds
.reached my car. There was n terrillc
hissing of Rtcam, pouringof water, femi
nine voices of many qualities and ac
cents, exclamations, laughter, groans
.and admonitions.
I could see scarcely anything and
stood irresolute near the door until an
attendeut bore down upon me with a
folded towel and an earthen bowl tilled
with water.
"JiiRt Hoak your head," she naid hur
riedly and led mo to a neat on a marble
ulat) whero tho steam eddied in thick
circles. Women were all ulmut mo, but
I could not hco them distinctly. They
were half defined liko ho many phan
toms. Suddenly I felt a light but dis
tinctly ileshy touch uikhi my shoulder.
No one was sitting beside me, so what
could it be? It camo again and again.
Well, if it was nothing mortal it must
como from nliove, so 1 looked up. The
explanation wns ho purely physical that
my embryo BpiritualiHtio throb van-
ished. On tho slab above mo I made out
a reclining, girlish form. Her foot was
idly dangling, and as bho Hwayed it to
mul fro her big too came in contact with
my shoulder. A very pretty foot it was,
too, belonging, ns I found out ufterward,
to a little fubrett.i whose trills in an
opera bouffo I had listened to only the
preceding night.
This gives hoiuo iden of tho democracy
prevailing at a Russian bath. lJeforo I
hud been an hour in the place a languid
blond wns chatting about the baths she
had tnken tho preceding hummer at Ba
den Baden, another had confided to me
that she had heart trouble, and a stout
woman with a coy, apologetic manner
had borrowed ono of my hairpins.
At length, with a great spluttering,
tho steam was turned oil, and 1 saw the
place clearly, It was n lnrgo room, with
marble walls nnd ceilings. Through a
largo, half opened skylight tho sunlight
struggled with tho steam. Uroad shelves
in three tiers were built all around the
room. A great rallied pool lay in the
center, reached by (lights of steps and
fed continually with fresh water from
two nuissivo dog'n heads niado of glisten
ing silver nnd fastened on eithor Hide,
Half n dozen shower baths were poniing
madly at the farther cud of tho room.
Just before me stood a quartet of

lemonade from long, frail ghiHiea. Kent
them a duet of Kirtly aiiiiir.ons disputed
volubly over a pound or two.
When I had left thoaloauirooiii for the
antechamber, where drjing, manicuring
and weighing were attended to, I realized
fully the leal luxury of tho bath. In this
room a dozen girls, wrapped to the chin
in lieavv towclliiLf. lav on lomr couches.

KhSt:x Fi'.i.us, N. ,T., April ST.-Quo day
last week I took a trip out to Kssex Fells
a picturesipio little suburb of Moutclair,
to ascertain if laud could Imj purchased in
that growing apot for anything less than
a Fifth avenue rate. In tho stage that
Illicit between Moutclair and Pino Ilrook
1 took my neat, with a few other men, and
before wo had reached tho top of tho
hill the conversation turned upon build
ing, for wo saw houses in course of erec
tion upon every hand. "It beats every
thing," wild ono man, "how this county
is growing and Hpr ailing. 1 declare it
beats uvury tiling. Why, one day you go
out shooting iitTi certain Held, and when
you come out it month later you Hud a hearts for wanting a new one for choo.s
street through it and a half dozen houses ing out one particular lovo and longing
in course of erection. Did you ever build
a house?"
"Never," replied the party as in one
voice.
"Well, 1 congratulate you. Building
is a bigger lottery than marriage, espe
cially if you don't know anything about
it. 1 know what I am talking about, by
jlminy, when it conies to building."
'Then you have had mhiio experience
in that line?" asked a Muall, thin man,
with a ni!e green wart on his nose.
"Sound" exclaimed the building man,
"botne! Well, 1 should say I have had
considerably more than some, by a large
majoritv, and I think I was a victim un
til 1 had nut tin nix houses, But on th
second nix I got back what I lost on the I

llrst half a dozen, Talk about wild re
sults! Whew!"
Here ho paused nnd mopped his face
with a red handkerchief and groaned at
the very memory of his early building
exploits.
"What do you mean by wild results?"
asked tho man with tho nile green wart.
"I mean Hintplv comic disasters dis-
""tern that are comic because they make
votir friends laugh at you and go into
convulsionsof merriment even when you
have their heartfelt sympathy. Now,
when 1 built my llrst house I felt that I
was about the happiest man in the wide
world, but when 1 tlrst entered it tin
bright illusion was quickly distsdled. 1
don't suppose I was in the house 15 min
utes before I found it necessary to make
a lot of repairs. The first thing I had to
look out for was a leak in tho roof and
another in tho cellar. The roof leak lot
tho water in, and it came in ho fast that
after it had run down the winding stairs
like a Dingninn'rt Ferry cascade for a littlo
while it ho completely tilled tho cellar
that everything in it was atloat with tho
exception ot tlte lurnace and tne coal."
"How is it that it didn't run out of the
leak which you have just said was in the
cellar?" asked tho thin man whose nose
was decorated with a nile green wart.
"Hecause the leak in tho cellar," re
plied the building man, "was that niy.s
terious unknown aperture through which
our tlrewood and tho contents of tho re
frigerator disappeared from timo to time.
Then the chimney blew down just as my
two cows were walking near. The old
$ 10 cow was not hit, but tho $100 Hoi-
stein heifer was killed on tho spot. After
this tho ceilings fell, and the floors spread
until they ripjKsl the carpets, and when
tho house had settled there were such
cracks all over it that I had to turn it
into a concrete house by plastering it
outside."
Hero tho man with tho building ex
jierienco drew a sigh about two minutes
long, and his fellow passenger with tho
nasal decoration offered his sympathy.
"It's so long ngo that it only makes mo
laugh now, so my sighs mean nothing.
But an experience on my sixth house
was tho funniest of nil. You see when
the masons mixed the plaster they did it
on the ground, and it hnpiM-ucd that a
lot of corn thrown out for tho chickens
got mixed into it. Tho plaster was put
on with the corn in it, and along in the
mouth of June it sprouted, and we had a
lino crop on the walls, and when we got
tho winter fire started it all popped and
fell on tho lloor liko snow-flakes."
Here tho old man jumped out at Ve
rona, and wo continued on our way in
silence. It. K. MfNKiTTUKK

adornment of a young girl should be
modesty and humility. It was then that
tho poor child lifted up her tear htalned
face and said:
"Yes, mamma, I know that is all true
and that you aro perfectly right; but,
oh, I look liko a sardine in that old hat!"
Who can bhimo tho girl with all her
natural lovo for beauty and freshness,
and particularly when everything is so
bright and beautiful, and when every
hat is ix bower of loveliness shading the.
Ilowcr faco below? Certainly not I.
When she and hundreds of other bright
young girls pass tho show windows
where everything is alluring and tho
most exipilslto tlowers aro trailed and
twined nil around, where shining rib
bons lie about in mocking profusion and
bonnets and hats of every conceivable
form are temptingly displayed on pretty
waxen faces, who can blaino the little
for it, remembering all the while that
Hho "looks like a sardine" in the old one.
Do men never have desires after the
unobtainable in the wav of dress suits,
fancy neckties or red kid gloves? Do
they ever have to look in n hatter's win
dow and think how much they would
like one of those shining silk bats with
the newest roll to the brim? If they do,
I am sure they never condemn them- '
v, .... .... ..... ... ..... .'.. ...v ..... o
they have on. It would be beneath their
dignity t think themselves anything
less than perfect even in an old hat, but
the peer little maid who longs for the
boi.net is truly modest.
Let us hope that somehow in the some-
wi,ro Krjs c.a iwavs have all the new

bonnets they want. This millennium
might come if girls would learn to trim
and make their own bonnets. Tho dif
ferenco m the price is so very great that
the knowledge is certainly worth striv
ing for. Then no pretty girl need be
wail and compare herself to one of those
greasy little Unites.
They tell us suddenly that tea gowns
have had their day. It was a pretty

Some ladles with very conservative,

more becoming than anything else, will
cling to them, so that they will not really
go out entirely. Tho tea jacket is now
tho favorite and is in some respects bet
ter, as it can be worn with any skirt
that is, ulmost any skirt, a lady's own
tnsto suggesting tho proper combination
better than 1 could. These tea jackets
aro very ornate and dressy and Iooac.
i They aro laced and beribboned to tho
heart's contont.
i Ono I saw recently had a fall of ham'.
I some black chantilly reaching from tho
neck down, 40 inches from shoulder to
! bottom. Outside of that was a simu
lated zouave of pale purplo sicilienno
silk, with sleeves to match. There was
( n close hemmed, box plaited ruillo as
I trimming, as mny be understood by a
I glance at tho picture. Laco falls fin
. iilnd tho short sleeves, and loops and
, long ends of lilac ribbon finished tho
1 front. Such a jacket is a very graceful
adjunct to almost any toilet. It would
be tery elegant over a whito or light
skirt.
Another jacket was snugger in form,
having n sort of full military skirt. Tho
model was of dark green velvet, with
oream ribbed silk lapels and a hand
romoly arranged jabot of whito laco
down the front, which ia intended to be
l
A 1
lett open Miglitly. Around the neck and
the sleeves is a fulled band of figured
silk, made into knots on tho arms. Al
together till li very elegant and would
do duty over almost any skirt.
Below these pictures I have put two
of the daintiest new fans, which any
bright young lady can make for herself.
A young girl of my acipiaiutance made
one like each by aid of a collide of old
time parasol bundles. The feather fan
had a very small foundation of stiff
muslin over wire, which was coiled and
turned around tho handle until it was
perfectly solid. This was covered with
white sill; and the plumes sewn on. It
reipilres h to 10, and they can be bought
fornbout !?!!. Dim yard of white satin
ribbon finished it. Such a fan ready
made would cost from $10 to 15, ac
cording to where bought.
To make the other she took a 5-cent
Japanese fan and fastened tho ivory han
dle in place of the wooden one and cov
ered the whole with light pink crepe do
chine and then hewed laco over tho out
side, bringing tho end down gracefully
tinder a Hpray of wild rose with its
leaves. This fan had the advantage that
hIio could take olf the artilieial ilower
and attach a ro-e, a hunch of violets or
any other natural Ilower. and it va very
much admired.
This Hiune ingenious young girl de
signs all her own clothes and trims her
own hats. Her last frock is a picture.
It is of simple crepon, in maize and tan
a dainty combination and it is dar
ingly trimmed with black velvet ribbon.
It was she who made the little pocket
and added tho laco frill to the maize
Httrah parasol and the bow of blue rib
bon that matches that on her hat and the
pinnies, lteally and truly, girlim, if you
would only use your own wits a little
and learn how to make the most of
things, just nee how pretty you could al
ways be, and you would never, never
look "liko u sardine."
Yesterday I reveled in new Htinnner
silks. I found satin duchess to be one
of the favorites. Tho pattern is mostly
8triics of white or very light over dark
blue, dark green, brown, etc., and also
black. It is in hoiiio lights faintly
changeable, which makes it very at
tractive. Some of the new silks have
mirali ground, with small figures. There
are black fancies in stripes where one
Htriisj is of brocaded satin and another
of heavy faille. This pattern is inde
Hcribably rich.
There are brocades and broeatelles in
every shade and color, which are to bo
used for homo gowns, tea gowns and
evening dresses.
Tho taffetas are in some instances plain;
in others brocaded in small figures and
ho dainty and delicate that they are per
fect pictures. There is also a largo lino
of tartan plaid bilks.
There Is a new material called china
mousseliue. It is SI inches wide and of
tho most cximisito fineness and is quite
transparent. It is not harsh liko the
other silk muslins, but has all the soft
ness of china crape. Silks gain always
in public favor, but the time has come
when wo aro obliged to admit that our
American bilks aro tliubest in tho world.

in our southwestern territories and in
Mexico I have rarely failed to find tho
pipe among the worldly effects which
were habitually buried with tho dead.
That smoking played an imitortant pint
in the domestic and social life of the
more recent Indian tribes is well known.
That It had much to do with the comfort
and enjoyment of tho more ancient
races wo mav well suiipose from tho
fact that tho greatest of care was taken
in making and ornamenting their pipes.
In many cases their decoration was re
ally elaborate.
A bamboo pipe used by tho natives of
the West Indies four or five centuries
ago is quite unique. It was their cus
tom to lay the green leaves of tobacco
upon a bed of live coals, producing a
thick 'smudge." Tho forked end of the
pipo was then placed in tho nostrils and
tho other end in the dense cloud of
smoke, which was directly inhaled. Tho

effects of the tobacco were much moro
marked when it was thus inhaled, often
producing complete intoxication and stu
por. Another curious pipo is one of baked

pipes tho culture of tobacco was always
an nil important industry.

W.mitN(TON, April ST. The Capital
City is at all times beautiful, but it is
never more attractive than at this sea
miii of the year. It Is true that congress is
not in M'sMon, an 1 hence one of the fea
tures of interest Is temporarily missing,
hut all the other branches of the govern
mental service are here at work and may
be seen by the tottriit or the casual vis
itor. Of course the principal point of
interest to all visitors at the capital Is
the White Home. It is the Hist place
visited by every American citizen who
coined to the capital. Tho building is
picturesipio in its architectural appear
ance, and though old it is still as bright
and cheery as it doubtless was half ti cen
tury ago.
The average citizen esteems it a dis
tinguished honor to grasp tho hand of
the chief executive, and this privilege is
accorded the visiting nml resident public
upon two days of each week. Upon
these occasions the big east room,
whero all public receptions aro held, is
usually f-rowded, and nearly always, es
pecially ut this season of the year, the
tourists c institute a majority of those in
attendance. These public receptions,
after all, are quite perfunctory, The
president enters tho room at precisely 1
o'clock, and taking his stand near the
door is ready to receive his callers.
They form in line under tho tliructlon
of one of the White House ushers, and
as they march by the president shakes
the baud of each visitor. There isn't
much enthusiasm or earue.stne.ss in the
presidential grasp upon these occasions,
but It is sulliciently satisfactory to tho
average patriot, who may thenceforth
pride himself upon the fact that he has
shaken hands with the chief executive
of tho greatest nation of tho earth.
Two iMiintH of great Interest aro tho
Washington monument on tho banks f
the Potomac, just south of the Whito
House, anil the tomb of Washington at
Mount Vernon, 10 miles down tho river.
Tho monument, which has been called
"the world's greatest cenotaph," is a
plain, obeliscal shaft rising to a height
of 555 feet. It towers high above tho
capitol and above any of the cathedral
Hpiresand monuments of Europe and tho
cast. A spiral staircase leads to the top,
and tho visitor may also ascend by an
elevator. Just under tho capstone aro
four little windows from which ono may
obtain a birdseyo view of tho city and a
beautiful prospect extending to the blue
Virginia hills on one side and almost to
the seashore on tho other. Tho lnecca
of nearly every American visitor to tho
capital is the tomb of Washington. A
boat runs to Mount Vernon every day,
and it nearly alwayu carries a full com
plement of patriotic tourists.
AT WAlllN(ITONS TO.Mll.
Other objects of immediate interest to
visitors hero are the various depart- 1
incuts whero tho routine business of the
government is conducted. Tho build- 1
iugs aro all large and imposing, uud ,
there is much to bo seen, especially in
tho postolllee, tho patent office and tho
war and navy departments. Tho secre- '
taries are seldom accessible to tho visit- I
ing public, only those who bavo busi- '
ness of an official or public- character be
ing admitted. Under a lately established
rule nobody at all is permitted to call
upon tho secretaries on cabinet days,
which aro Tuesdays and Fridays. But
tho visitor may roam tho corridors and
halls of the big departments at will dur
ing the hours from 10 a. m, till S p. m.
on any day of the week and inspect tho
models in tho patent office, view tho
curios in tho dead letter office or gaze
upon the miniature ships and accouter
incuts of war in tho big building set
apart for the army and navy. Under
the same rules and regulations as the
departments are the Smithsonian insti
tution and the National museum. In
these buildings may bo seen almost "ev
erything under the sun."
Last, but by no means least, is the big
capitol building "on the hill." It is ono
of the greatest piles of architecture in
the world and one of tho most splendid
and imposing. livery American who
conies to Washington visits it, and no
foreigner who happens this way thinks
of omitting it from his itinerary. When
congress is in session, it is always crowd
ed, and even in the midst of summer,
when Washington is hot and dull, visit
ors may always bo found there.
With all its splendor and attractive
ness, its magnificent buildings and beau
tiful parks, its official dignity uud social
gayety, to the plain American citizen of
average tastes it must always remain a
city to bo admired rather than enjoyed.
One of these who lives in a western state
quite aptly expressed this feeling when
ho said a few days ago: "I have been
hero only a fow months, but I liavo dis
covered that I do not enjoy myself as 1
had anticipated. 1 have been having a
splendid time in this beautiful city, but
I have suddenly found that the official
air is too close and stilling for me. I
want to go back home, whero I can
breathe tho atmosphere of plain citizen
ship nnd move wit hunt treading on tho
toes of dignity. I'm going back whero
thoro's tho smell of new grass, and fresh
wild tlowers, and an occasional cloud of
dust in tho lane."
