sleeves are cut straight from shoulder t".

then brought into plaits at the wrist,
which allows tho fuUnoea to form nsOTt

waist and hips are richly trimmed with

full Jabot of black crepe dechine. Itcan
be worn with a bonnet or with a largo
picture hat, according to tho tasteof the
wearer. The model is so very easy to
follow that any lady who knows how to
make a drees can make tho garment
When the weather becomes right cold a
vest lined with chamois skin is worn be*
neoth it, and thus it has nil the lightness
of a woolen wrap with tho warmth of a
fur.
I fell in love yesterday with a young
friend's dress, and because it was so
pretty and stylish and at the some time
so neat and simple, I had a picture mado
of it This young girl could have
drtss made of spun gold set with all
sorts of precious stones if she liked,
therefore the simplicity of it comes from
refined taste, not the cruel needs
inching poverty. It was of the pretty,
1 iuflfy woolen goods so popular this
son, drab with cream white figuring.
The ekirt is quite plain With '
in the back, and it just touches tbs
ground in the back The waist is as
plain as the skirt, only with a double
row of brown crocheted buttons reach

is a pointed belt of seal brown moire.
Tho sleeves nro of brown moiro, and so
is the high collar, and tho natty little
toque is trimmed with bows of moire
with a little brown sparrow on the left
side lying flat with outstretched wings.
When it is cold a little beaver cape adds
to tho.Qnakerfike neatness of this cos
tume.
Astrakhan is enjoying a popularity

[Bpsdsl Onmaiaiaa.)
SiN Frarcesoo, Nov. 1.—There came
to the interior Chinese city, where I waa
stopping one summer, two thrifty young
Yankees, who were coining mon^fmah-
ing rubber stamps. Tbty had akttof
tools for making the stamps. Ona can
vassed while that
They were making* tour of the globe,
supporting themaelvea in this novel man
ner while on the road. They had done
the ports of Japan, and miabed
before I met them. The tqjpabra came
np the' Yang-tse to Ktoktohg, and in
population of abouti
the few Chineee merchants who had busi
ness relations with them secured orders
for over £00 worth of stamps. For
single line nome-they got £, snd for of
fice stamps they charged in proportion.
Daring Ms canvass there the agent v
taken ill, and he returned to Bhang!
to have the stamps made. 1I agreed to
deliver them for him and
the
•J&fi
time* aa much aa the material. Good
d their
I sent him about £00 in silver and
returned a few stamps to be corrected,
and sent a few orders for additional
ones. The agent sent the second lot,
with instruction* to eend the money by
return steamer, as they wen soon to
leave for India. I pot the money, tome
$40 to silver, to the bottom of an old tin
biscuit box, and staffed the box toll of
waste paper, and tied a card to the can,
containing the name etily of the stamp
agent, and gave It in charge of one of
the officers on a Chinese steamer, and
told' him that the owner would call at
tho vessel for tho box.
R transpired, however, that he bad left
before the steamer reached Shanghai,
and no one claiming the box it was left
off the vemel and set to ashed wMhcthar
rubbish at the wharf at Shanghai, After
about six weeks I got a letter from Hong
Eong, asking about the money. I replied
that I bad' sent it an the steam* to
Shanghai, as instructed. Bat then bring
no express company on the river vends
I had ho receipt for the box, simply hav
ing handed it to the purser and oskod
him to deliver to tho gentleman who
would call for it Four months aftsr
this I was at Shanghai, and one day con
cluded to go to the wharf of the Chinese
Navigation company to inquin about
the box.
I entered the office, bnt there hap
pened to be no one on duty at the
moment. While sauntering about the
premises waiting tho arrival of a clerk I
saw among a lot of rubbish in one cor
ner what resembled the treasure box.
I brushed away the dust, and, sure
enough, there was the old biscuit box
bod used to storing the silver several
months before. I picked it up and shook
it and heard tho rattle of the dollars.
I pulled out the paper pecking and
found at tho bottom of tho box the silver
just as I had placed it That box had
been walked over by the Chinese freight
handlers for four months, but it looked
so unlike a treasure box that no one had
examined it to see what it contained,
put the money in my pocket and staffed
the paper back into the tin and left, not
having been seen by any one to the
plaoe. I presume that old can stood
there unclaimed, and was finally thrown
sway as rubbish.
I sent the money on toBotnbay to find
its owner, but whether it ever reached
him I never loomed.

Some Constantinople Kotos.
CoNRAimxonJL OcL la—Tho Greek
ladies of Constantinople are very socia
ble, and they make it a point of visittoj
every newcomer who is considered at al
respectable, and dressed to the richest of
sflkt and covered with massive gold
chains, bracelets, rings and jewels, they
make the first viglt, usually going to a
sedan chair, aa there are hot few streets
to Constantinople wide enough for the
passage of a carriage, even If they'
not too steep and badly paved. These
women are genial, and talkative, hot
for tho most part not very intellectual,
and they set a very high value upon ex
ternal appearances. The manner to
which some of them dress Vends ooe to
suppose they must he very rich, but
when you return their visits you find
that they live as poorly and quite as
cramped as our average laboring men’s
families As long as they can make a
fine appearance outside they cate little
