Certain tra ditions In art , however , obtain which give ono a sort of basis upon which to work. Kor Instance , with very few exceptions , paint ings , both In oils and water colnra , require gilt frames , but the adaptation of the almost Infinite variety of these to any particular picture calls for the nicest discrimination. "This quiet , peaceful landscape , for exam ple , you will notice Is In the mo < H quiet , un- flllgiced frame. Where- the prevailing Idea In a picture la that of repose a tranquil un- net , a still moonlight or the vast nnd nllent sea -the saint ) Idea mu.it bo carried out In an entirely plain and unobtrusive frame. Where one or two bold figures appear ns In thH pic ture , the frame also takes on a certain bold ness which you will see Indicated by this rather heavy ornamentation in the center nf the moulding. You will notice however , tlmt It Is so foctisscd as to Inevitably lead the eye to th < > picture Itself. As pictures grow more varied In color , more complicated In A ItRltN'IIAHDT IIONN'ET. composition and bolder In execution , we eai use more and more "noisy ' frames , aa wi cnll them. The most ornate frame wouh attract nn attention to Itself when around a ItuhriiH. The perfect harmony Is , of course obtained when the artist himself designs the frame that Is to enclose his work of art , ns for example , In this photograph from a mura decoration by Puvla do Chnvnnnes , which 1 Hurroundcd by n frame of his own designing. ' FRAMING IN GREEN. A careful survoy. however , of the many now and lovely schemes ready to liaml would seem to make such a demand upon an artist this season almost an act of su pererogation , for they certainly appear adapted ta every phase of color and feeling. Among the many charming effects In wood , none Is nt the snino time more striking nnd entirely pleasing than a frame almost a fool broad In dark , lustreless green. A narrow gilt oval In graceful scroll work forms the Inner finish of the frame , with a narrow margin of gilt at the outer edge. A reproduction of the Greuzo "crucho ens- see" In sepia ( without mat ) In this frame produces an effect rich and harmonious to n degree. This was nn Imported frame , nnd wns hardly recognizable as wood. The American green molding , however. Is lighter In shade , more highly polished and - altogether crude In comparison. Grcon , In fact. Is to bo very much to the fore this senson In tin1 framing of pictures , nnd scorns singularly well adapted to cer tain styles of nit.

The moat picturesque figure In social llf at the capital this winter Is Xlr . 1'ak Ye the wlfo of Mr. Yo I'um Chin , the nc\ Corean minister. The Coreans have alway been very ioptilar In Washington , so klmll are their nature * ) , so tilmplc and charmln their manners. Add to this the fact tha any reception or dinner Is given a dlstlnc character by the presence of the quaintl dressed representatives of that far easier kingdom , and their popularity Is casll understood. The last minister feared the free west ern Ideas for h's ' wonienklnd , and left them at home , where they were safe from th corrupting Inllucnce , so that for fievera years past there has been no woman nt th Corean legation , a loss that has been mucl felt. felt.A A correspondent of the I'hltadrlphla Time sought an Interview with Mrs. I'ak Yo I order to get a few of ht > r Impressions o American life and manners , nnd during th early part of this week rerclved a graciou note from Mr. Ye Kol Sok , an attache o the legation , saying that Mrs. Ye would h pleased to grant an Interview. According ! ) dressed III her best gown and new benne she called at Mrs. Yc'e house. It Is a larg nnd handsome gray stuccoed building , b no means now , overlooking Iowa Circle , on of the flower-decked green , spots that mak Washington's chief beauty. Thn ilnnr wna nnnnpil hv n nnlltf * rnlnrr * boy In neat livery , who led the way Into the drawing room. Unfortunately It Is a din tlnctly American residence , done up by ai upholsterer who had rather a weakness for vivid colors , and although the parlor was very comfortable and bright , It has about I no suggestion of eastern plcturesquencss except for a little folding screen palntct with queer pictures by some artlat In far away-Corra. The wall paper la a vivid grcci that would ho quite unbearable were It no for the softening effect of the curtains am portlcroa of soft brown brocade. A light flowered carpet covers the floor with some nlco skins scattered here and there. lacl chair and sofa Is upholstered In some differ ent color of satin damask. It Is a prettily- shaped room , with a bow-window and a rounded end and from It opens a back parlor with conservatory attached. It Is very pleasant - ant withal , and very sunny. Presently the pollto servitor returned and ushered Into the room with a deep bow a > omiK gentlerran In an every day business suit , surmounted by an unmistakably Orien tal countenance. It was Mr. Tain E Yo , the secretary of legation. He speak * English and his : a particularly pleasant manner. He told your correspondent that Mra , Yo would bo right down. The next arrival In the drawing room was the minister's little son. a handsome , merry- looking llttlo chap of G. who walked forward with a very graceful bow , shook hands ana said "How d'yo do" In English. A few min utes later , with n real salaam that mint have required lots of practice , the footman ush ered In Mra. Yo. She looked Just like a dellclously quaint llttlo doll , or as If she had stepped dowi from some painted panel or screen , and oddly In contrast with her room. She Is onlv about four and a half feet high and very blight. Her dress was very queer and very -ilc- ttircsqup. It was moro Ilko an empire gown than any of our other fashions. Tim waist was of soft green silk , finished with hands of dark brown red , about the color of the leaves on the trees outside. The surplice waist was very short and below the waist band fell a full skirt of robln's-cgg-bluo silk. On her head she wore a queer black silk hejid dress , a sort of cap with a long end at the back , reaching to the waist , aboul flvo Inches wide and ornamented with nar row bands of red. forming geometrical fig ures. She advanced smiling nnd offered your correspondent ono of the tiniest bits of hands Imaginable. Heal llttlo doll-baby hanilH , to bo admired , but not used. Mrs. Yo's manner la charming. U Is slm- plo and gracious , yet dignified. She told her secretary to say that bhe greatly regrclcd that her Illness had prevented her from seeIng - Ing your correspondent before. Then sh said she was so sorry when she met a pleas ant friend not to bo able to talk English , nnd shci smiled In n very bewitching fashion in deed. She U n delicate llttlo woman. It seems , and has been quite seriously 111 since her arrival here about a month ago. 1'icsently she called attention with great maternal prldo and also some amusement to her llttlo son , who has had hl4 hair cut short In Yanlieo fashion and who wore a stylish suit of knickerbockers and round jacket , with ribbed stockings covering his plump llttlo legs. When he arrived here he was clothed like- his ancestors In colored silks. Ho smiled and seemed very pleased with tlu > change as much BO us any llttlo American boy wearing his first trousers. There Is , It seems , a curious custom In Corca which permits women to go out at night , but does not grant to men the same privilege. Thus It Is claimed that latchkeys are at n discount In tlmt country. The notion at the back of thin Is very ancient. Man be longs , they say , to the masculine principle of the universe , which Is the sun ; theroforu , 10 needs the sunlight. Woman Is of the leminino principle represented by the moon , > nd therefore nro the moonbeams good for her. There are n good many girls hero who would like to persuade their mothers of this fact on summer evenings , .Mrs. Yo said this old Idea 1s not lived up to by ladles of rank , IOWOVIT , and a midnight promenade by a Corraii lady would he regarded as even more eccentric conduct than In this country. Mrs. Yo on being asked If she found any great dlffcrenco hero from her life nt homo , aid , very Uttlf. The greatest difference- was that at home ladles never go out except In cloned chairs , and hero she drives out with icr husband , Minister Ye I'utn Chin , In an open carriage. This she finds great fun , Then she was asked If Him had heard that he laht Corean lady hen1 had dreadful times nt her receptions because everybody would attend. That women on their way home rom market would employ colored l.oys to lold tholr heavy bankets otitsldo while they attended the receptions , On ono occasion a lady of the smart nut met her cook and waitress ut ono of tha afternoon teas. Tlie description iccuicd to umuto Mra. Yo very much , and she laughed heartily , but said she would have to find some way to select her visitors. in : viTV OFrun cur.oi.nVOMI : \ .
