In a republic like ours, where the citizen Is the sovereign and the otikial the servant, where no power is exercised except by the will of the people, it is important that the sovereign--the people--should possess intelligence.

We affirm this to be far bet­ ter for our country than the Democratic policy of loaning the Government's money without in­ terest to "pet banks." The conduct of foreign affairs by the present administration has been distinguished by its in­ efficiency and itB cowardice. Having withdrawn from t he Senate all pending treiat ies effected by Republican administration for the removal of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our commerce_ and for its extension into better markets, it has neither effected nor proposed any others in their stead. Professing adher­ ence to the Monroe doctrine, it has seen with idle complacency the extension of foreign influence in Central America and of foreign trade everywhere among our neighbors. It has refused to charter, sanction, or encourage any American organization for constructing the Nicaragua Canal, a work of vital importance to the main­ tenance of the Monroe doctrine and of our na­ tional influence in Central and South America, and necessary for the development of trade with our Pacific territory, with t-outh America, and with tbe islands and farther coasts of the Pacific Ocean. We arraign the present Democratic adminis­ tration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment of the fisheri9s_ question, and its pusillanimous surrender or the essential privileges to which our fishing vessels are entitled in Canadian ports under the treaty of 1818, tho reciprocal maritime legislation of 183), and the comity of nations, and which Canadian fishing vessels receive in the por> a of tha United States. We condemn the policy of the present administra­ tion and the democratic majority in Congress toward our fisheries at unfriendly and conspicu­ ously unpatriotic and as tending to destroy a valuable national industry and an indispensable resource of defense again at a foreign enemy.

Warner of that delegation arose and aaid: "Mr. Chairman, Connwticut presents tho name of the Hon. Joseph R. Hawley." [Cheers.] Delaware, Florida and Georgia had no name to present, and when each S:ate was called the Chairmen of tho respective delegations arose aud made the announcement. When Illinois was culled, Leonard Swett, of Chicago, ascended the platform and presented the name of Walter Q. Greaham. "This presence recalls a scene enactcd in this city twenty-eight years ago," said be. "That was the second National Republican Conven­ tion, aud the first nomination of Abraham Lin­ coln," said Mr. Swett. "At this inauguration the Republican party first assumed the reins of gov ernmental control. With unimportant interrup­ tions the Democratic party bad controlled our national pdlicy for thirty-two years. The coun­ try in 1861 stood upon the verge of political and ftnnnrifibrpiii and the sharpest and most deadly conflict or arms over known succeeded. We have had of Republican rule since theu four years of war and twenty years of psace. The four years of war produced" heroes, sacrifices, and suffering without parallel and a reunited coun­ try. The twenty year3 of peace increased tbe population, internal improvements, manu­ factories, useful inventions, comforts in homes, and the general development of all classes with a rapidity unequaled in the history of the world within the time named. In the language of Daniel Webster, we may say of this Republi­ can rule, the suffering and the fruits of the war and the unparalleled prosperity of this peace, 'The past is at least secure.' "We have assembled again to select a Presi­ dent for 60,000,000 of free people. Who most in character is the very essence of these people? Who of all the names suggested will draw sup­ port most largely from ail classes ? Who can jest bring together aud reunite the broken frag­ ments of our own party? Who by personal courage and sublime confidence in his own coh- victions is an ideal leader of tbe American peo­ ple? Who most strikingly stands for cosmopoli­ tan American character ? These are the ques­ tions of the hour addressed to us all. I suggest the name of Walter Q. Gresham of Indiana aud Illinois [cheers ani applause], and invite a thoughtful consideration or some of the reasons why he shou'.d be nominal el." I Mr. Swett soundedthepraisesef JudgeGresham in a half hour's sj each. Said he, in closing: "In behalf of the laboring man, of whose strug­ gles he is the living < mbodiment; in behalf of capital, whoso rights he h&s guarded and adjust­ ed ; in behalf of the soldier, whose garb he has worn with honor; in behalf of patriotfB^u and loyalty, of which he is the shining representa­ tive and example; and for the State of Lincoln, Grant, and Lo^an, I nrminate as a candidate for President of the United States the son of Illinois by adoption, Walter Q. Gresham." [Great ap­ plause and cheers.] in response to the Chairman's Inquiry for a second Mr. Davis of Minnesota came forward to the platform and seconded the nomination of Judge Gresham «in a pretty little Bpeech often minutes' duration. Messrs. Lynch of Mississippi, McCall of Mas­ sachusetts, "and Rector of Texaa also seconded the nomination of Judge Gresham, on behalf of their respective States. The Secretary called "Indiana," when every one interested iu Harrison set up a howl, and Col. Dick Thompson rose to speak. Cries of "Plat­ form," "Platform," were flung at him from all sides, but-tiie old man refused to bo budged from his place. "I merely want to make an announce­ ment, " shid he. "The Republican party of Ihdiana has selected a member of our delegation, the Hon. Albert G. Porter, to present their candidate for the Presidency." [Cheers.] Governor Porter passed to the platform accom­ panied by the cheers of many of the delegates and most of the audience. "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of tbe convention," he began, "when, in 1880, Roscoe Conkling visited Indiana to take part in the memorable canvass of that year, he was asked on every hand, 'How will New York go at the Presidential election ?' 'Tell me,' he re- pttad, *how Indiana will go in October and I *111 tell yon how New York will go in Novem­ ber.' [Applause.] In October, Indiana's majority of 7,000 for the Republican can­ didate for Governor informed the country bow she would go, and New York and the nation echoad bail October voice. [ApplatwfcJ iSin rich*or poor, in his civil rights. It ahould and must afford him protection at home and follow and protect him aoroad in whatever be may be on a lawful errand. The men who abandoned the Republican party in 1884 and continue to adhere to the Democratic party have deserted not only the cause of honest government, of sound finance, of freedom, and purity of the ballot, but especially have deserted the cause of reform in the civil service. We will not fail to keep our pledges because they have broken theirs, or because their candidate has broken his. We therefore repeat our declaration of 1884, to wit: ' "The reform of the Civil service, auspiciously begun under the Republican administration, should be completed by the farther extension of the re­ form system already established by law to all the grades of the service to which it ia applica­ ble. Tha spirit and purpose of tbe reform s&ould be observed in all executive appointments, and all laws At variance with the object of "existing reform legislation should be repealed, to the end that the danger to free institutions which lurk in the power of official patronage may be wiBely and effectively avoided." The gratitude of the nation to the defenders of the Union cannot be measured by laws. Tbe legislation of Congress should conform to pledges made by loyal people, and be so en­ larged and extended as to provide against the possibility that any man who honorably wore the Federal uniform shall become an in­ mate of an almshouse or a dependent upon pri­ vate chanty. In the presence of an overflowing Treasury it would be a public scandal to do less for those whose valorous service preserved the Government. We denounce the hostile spirit s-• own by President Cleveland in hfe numerous vetoes of measures for peaBion relief, and the action of the Democratic House of lteprepenta- tivee in refusing even a consideration of general pension legislation. In support of the principles herewith enun­ ciated we invite the co-operation of patriotic men of all parties, and especially of all working- men, whoso prosperity is seriously threatened by the free trade policy of tha present administra­ tion. The platform, upon motion of Mr. Marine, of Maryland, was unanimously adopted by tbe Con­ vention t>y a rising vote amid a storm of ap­ plause and waving of hats.

Hereto­ fore, during all tbe battles that you have fought, during all the great contests in which you have boen engaged, Michigan has baen modest in her demands of the Republican party; but whan we find this party out of power, when we find the Democratic party controlling thiB nation, we do not stop to argue by what means or methods that party got tfcere, but we come here to provide for you the ways and means of turning that party out of lKME<Mff; .^Cheers.] As long as everything was DEPEW. _ akm« smoothly with tho Republican party Michigan had nothing to ask; but now, when you need her, we como here and offer you a man to lead you to victory in this campaign. [Cheers.] And I propose to tell you the reason why. In the first place, gentlemen of the convtntion, it be­ comes necessary that you should select trom lhe largo number of candidates that are named here the most available ono t ) tight this cam­ paign with. He must, as has been described by the gentlemen, be strong in all the States alike: he must be strong alike with the soldier and with the civilian ; with the rich man and with the poor; with the black man and with tho white man. [Applause.] I propose to offer you in behalf of Michigan for your careful and candid conaideration such a gentleman. I believe, Mr. Chairman, that we are here as a deliberative body of men. I am ;lad to see the enthusiasm that ia manifested >y this large assemblage of people in behalf of the gentlemen whose names have been and will be presented to this con­ vention. Michigan has no charges to bring against any of-them. We know nothing against them, and we have sought to find nothing against them. [Cheers.] They are Republicans all, they have been true to the Republican party, and, I ask on behalf of Michigan here a careful con­ sideration of all these gentlemen's merits, and I hops they will receive, each of them, their full measure of praise. And in presenting yon our candidate here I ask nothing but-- d I ought to be ashamed to ask it--a fair con­ sideration for him in a Republican - convention. These gentlemen, I say, who have all been named, wo have nothing to say against them, aud we belleye that what has been said about them ia tino; bat the availability of the man that you should place in nomination here is a serious question for you to consider; and right here at the outset I say to you that he will supply to you strength from all the quartera that 1 have named. The rich man will trust him, for he is a man of business and affairs, and hia honor among these men has been and always will be unquestioned. [Cheers.] If you think that he is not a friend of the poor, come with ma to the city of Detroit, where be lives; enter With me into tho poor man's home--aye, into the very abode of misery--and there men­ tion the name of our oandidate and you will find tbjat next their God, among the poor people of Michigan, the name of Gen. Russell A. Alger ia in their hearts." At the mention of Gen. Alger'a name there was great enthusiasm, and an enthusiastic Alger- ite in the main gallery bowled, "Three cheers for Gen. Alger," and they were given with a will by --~yons of the audience. elegates Noyes of Massachusetts, Egan of OEM. HAWLRT. ISMF Indiana held the key of the position so, although not an October State now. she seems to hold the key of the position as before. [Applause.] Indiana is always called a doubtful State, but when the Republican PMty thoroughly organized, when its pre- paratorv work has been done well, and when the aplrit of the Republican masses is kindled into a flame she seldom fails to elect Republican ean- ;dfrelV. Th"8 never was a time in the history of tbe Republican partv in Indiana when it was more thoroughly organized. There never was a tima when the preparatory work of the cam- JMugn rod been better done.

Mr. Terrill of Texas and Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire made speeches seconding the nomi­ nation of Gen. Harrison. When Iowa was called Mr. Henderson of that State arose and said: "Mr. Chairman, Iowa has a candidate to present for the consideration of the convention." [Cheers.] _ While Gen.Henderson was speaking Mr Hep- byni of ,the Iowa delegation walked up to the platform and was introduced by the Chairman In the fonMving words: Iowa!" men °*the convention, Mr. Hepburn, of Mr. Hepburn pat ln nomination Mr. Allison. •P««lhtaPMtfsasfollows: , - it is the laudable ambition of every member of this convention that to-day we pursue such a course as to deserve and win success at the end of this campaign, is tnere aucn a course open to our Choice? We remember that we enter upon this struggle a beaten party--that we were not beaten for want of numbers, but for want of h*rmony. We are strong enough to compel a triumph, but it will require the united efforts of us all to clutch it. Is it possible for us to-day to name a candidate for whom all Republicans will vote? If we do we shall succeed. If we fall to name such an one our flag goes down in defeat before the organized appetite for spoils and its allies. The candidate of this convention must be of spotless character, and with unblemished polit­ ical record. He must be a man in whose ar­ mor of integrity there is no flaw or crevice for the lodgment erf censure or calumny. He must be a man versed in the public business, schooled in the public service, fitted for the high office to which we conBecrate him by broad experience and observation. He must be a man of affairs. The Republican party is one of deeds as well as of doctrines--results no less than lofty sentiments. Its just pride and crowning glory is to be found in the long record of what it has accomplished. It loves liberty, and it creates free States. It loves mankind, and it strikes the shacklea from the bond and makes freemen. It lovea equality, and it places the ballot in the hands of the hum­ ble and bids him stand unabashed by the aide of him who is the • rongest. It loves the flag and the nnion of tha States, and it builds navies. It calls into being vast armies, and tramples rebellion under its conquering feet.

His appearance was the signal for loud cheers. He proceeded to nominate Chauncey M. Depew, and proceeded to deliver a flfteen-min- utes' speech eulogistic of the Empire State's favorite son. At its conclusion tbe New York delegation arose simultaneously and cheered vigorously. D. H. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, nominated John Sherman, of Ohio, The nomination waa greeted with loud cheers. Delegates Lang a ton of Virginia and Anson of North Carolina seconded the nomination of Sena­ tor Sherman in brief speeches. When Pennsylvania called Delegate Chas. E.

There was no second. Tlie Secretary continued the call of the roll of the States, calling Out the names Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and there waa no re­ sponse. Wisconsin was next called and imme­ diately a shout arose, and Senator Spooner as­ cended the platform, and in an eloquent speech of ten minutes' duration presented the name of Wisconsin's favorite son. Gov. Rusk. "The rank and fila of tho Republican party," said the orator, "iook trustfully to this conven­ tion for wisdom, and they will tolerate no mis­ takes.

"Holding, therefore, to the highest stnndird of party duty and demanding the subordination of all personal ambition to party welfare, bowing in advance to the decree of this convention, the Republicans of Wisconsin with enthusiastic unanimity have instructed their delegation to name to you as their choice for the first place one who by a leng life of c< mnicuous public service in divers holds of effort has proved his right to stand the peer of any man in stainless character, in patriotic devotion to the best in­ terest of the country, in political sagacity, in unerring judgment, in heroic courage--many times shown in the rush and whirl of battle-- and in extraordinary executive capacity.

Chairman Estee found that hia voice was so hoarse when he attempted to call tbe«otiventiou to order that be set about III tiding one of the several Vice Presidents who might take hia place. Finally Mr. Eatoe called Senator Hiscock, of New York, to the chair and retired to the back­ ground. Despite tho vigorous t!?.e of the gavel it waa 11:31) ere the babel of conversation hushed, the noisy stir of arriving hosts stilled, and order prevailed. The attendance was tbe largest yet seen at the convention, the ball being packed beyond its comfortable limit. Thousands un­ seated were driven about from pillar to post, and the cramped, suffocating condition of the hall made it almost impossible to maintain abaolute order. Even duringthe invocation, delivered by the Rev. J. H. Worcester, of this city, the con­ fusion could not. be repressed. The Chairman rapped vigorously with his gavel and then ad- dreased the convention: "The regular order of buaineaa ia the call of the roll ol States for the SENATOK QUAY. selection of a candidate for President. The Sec­ retary will proceed with the call." "Alabama!" Tlie musical name of the alphabetical leader of States fell from the Secretary's lips, and in tbe intense silence of the impressive moment every ear was reached. The vote was road: Sherman, 12; Alger, 6; Depew, 1; Harrison, 1--with a cheer for each name. This demonstration from the galleries was found to bo a practical block to tbe pro­ ceedings ; tho ballotB could not be properly recorded through the noiso. This source of confusion was later on partially checked by the persistent appeals of the Chair and the depreca­ tions of tho orderly portiona of the audience and delegations. Tlie vote of Arkansas with ten of her ballots for Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, was recorded, and California was then called. Tho apprehended bomb-burst here occurred, The rules of silence and decorum were tempo­ rarily swept away. Creed Hammond arose from amoug the Californians, and, assuming an atti­ tude hi the joint resemblance of Ajax defying lightning and Patrick Henry before the Virginia burgesses, said at the top of liis lungs: "Cali­ fornia casts her sixteen votes for James G. Blaine." At the first official utterance of the name of the old leader an explosive cheer broke from the galleries, the delegates discreetly restrain­ ing themselves. For that reason, if none other, the demonstration was less vigorous aud pro­ longed than had been anticipated. The usual rising yell, tossing of hats, wild gesticulations, and waving of flags occurred, while ladies in tho galleries unfurled largo silk banners, staff-capped with huge white plumes. Connecticut cast her twelve votes for Hawley, Delaware voted for Harrison, Florida divided on Sherman and Fitter, and Georgia's votes nearly all went to the Ohio man. When Illinois was called Senator Farwell arose, and in a loud, clear voice said: "Illinoia casta her 44 votes for Walter Q. Gresham." The rapid raps of tho gavel and the protesting ges­ tures of the Chairman were unable to check the cheer that greeted this announcement of the solidarity of the great prairie State for her fav­ ored citizen. The cheering waa resumed a mo­ ment later when Indiana announced that while 29 or her 30 delegates were for Harrison, she had 1 vote for Gresham. There was loud cheering when Iowa cast her solid vote for Allison. Sherman received the lion's share of Kentucky and Louisiana, Maine scattored like an old blun- derbus, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Missis­ sippi went largely to Sherman, Minnesota sup­ ported Gresham, and Michigan voted solidly for Alger amid great cheering. Missouri scat­ tered her votea all around, Gresham receiving one-third. Nebraska was also without any particular love. Alger and Alli­ son each received three of Nevada's six votes, while Depew and Harrison equally divided New Hampshire's eight. New Jersey plumped her eighteen votes to Phelps. New York cast aeventy-one votes for Depew and one for Blaine. North Carolina gave Sherman the bulk of her votes, and this was followed by Ohio, which cast her forty-six votes solidly for the Mansfield statesman. He also captured half of Pennsylvania, the remainder being divided be­ tween Filler, Phelps, Depew, and Blaine. Rhode Island supported Allison, South Caro­ lina gave two-thirds of her vote to Sherman, and Alger and Sherman captured the lion's share of Tennessee. Texas divided on Allison, Sherman, and Gresham. Vermont voted solidly for Har­ rison. Sherman got half of the scattering votea of Virgiuia and West Virginia. Wisconsin's solid vote went to her favorite son. Governor Rusk. The Territories were pretty evenly divided among the various candidates. Follow­ ing is the result of the first ballot: Sherman Gresham...'.. Depew Alger... Harrison..... Allison Blaine .. .2291 Ingalls ...Ill] Rusk ... 99|Fitter 35 94 25 1$ 8 2 84 Phelps.. 80 Hawley 72 Lincoln 35 McKinlsjr.... The second ballot was immediately called. Mr. filler's name was withdrawn by the Pennsyl- vanians, to the great satisfaction of the conven­ tion, and the Fitler incident ended. Then tho vote was taken. Arkansas changed her whole vote to Alger, amid some cheering. Gresbam gained 1 vote in Indiana, and Kansas took 1 vote away from Ingalls and gave it to McKinley. In Kentucky Gresham and Blaine gained; Harrison and Sherman lost. In Mary­ land Harrison and Sherman gained. Massachu- setts dropped Lincoln. Missouri increased Algerls vote from 6 to 10. Pennsylvania gavo 63 votes to Sherman, a fact which waa loudly cheered. This was the result of Fitter's with­ drawal. Sherman getting all but three of Fitler'a vtte. RUSK began to break in Wisconsin, which gave Greaham three. The aecoud bauot re­ sulted : Sherman..... Alger Gresham Depew...... .

Tbe third ballot resulted a* follows Sherman Gresham Alger Harrison Depew Allison It was now 2 o'clock p. m., aud tbe convention took a rocoss until 7 p. m. Immediately alter the assembling of the con­ vention for the evening session chauncey M. Depew took the platform, ana in a brief speech withdrow his name from th > Hold of candidates. At the conclusion of Mr. Depew's speech the whole convention was in a squirm of excite­ ment. It had been whispered around that New York had decided to give tlie greater part of its vote--fifty-eight delegates--to Harri­ son, and that ^Wisconsin was about to do tne some. Of course if this was dona there would be a Harrison stampede, which might possibly nominate the 11 id i ani an aud a poll all the plans of the Blaine boomers. Hence It waa manifestly the Blaine programme to ad­ journ the convention before a vote could ba taken, and thia was accordingly done. Mr. Has- -tingaot. Pennsylvania moved to adjourn until 14 Tharo tho iwi +ot*um viMimd by th® fitat man out tmA then «b- dovrt with life tylpfcodife Orotic theory of AM "wording to Hesoid, wloflu* ZoSTm a cruel jest, ordered Tnloui to woman out of clay, ahd then iodaoe the various gods and goddeMea to invest the clay doll with all their wont qualities, the result being a lovely thing, with » witchery of men, refilled eraft, eager passion, love of dress, treacherous man­ ners, and shameless mind. The Scan­ dinavians say that as Odin, Viliand Ye, the three sons of Bor, were walking along the beach they foinnd two sticks of wood, one of ash and one of elm. Sitting down, the gods shaped man and woman out of these sticks, whittling the woman from the elm and calling her Elma. One of the strangest stories touching the orgin of woman is that told by the ^Madag&scarenes. In so far as the cre­ ation of man goes the legend is not un­ like that related by Moses, only that the fall came before Eve arrived. After the man had eaten of the forbidden fruit he became affected with a boil on the leg, out of which, when it burst, came a beautiful girl. The man's first thought was to throw her to the pigs, but he was commanded by a messenger from Heaven to let her play among the dig­ gings until she was of marriageable age; then to make ber his wife. He did so, called her Bahoura, and she became the mother of all races of men. The American Indians' myths relative to Adam and Eve are numerous and en­ tertaining. Some traditions trace back our parents to .white and red Maoze; another is that man, searching for a wife, was given the daughter of the King of Muskrats, who, on being dipped into a neighboring lake became a wo­ man. Poor first "mother! For untold cen­ turies she has been twitted for her primal share in the world's cares and punishments. But whether the product of a pimple or of a divinely-vivified rib, the paradox remains that she who is the truest daughter of Eve has never a lack of ad­ miring slaves.--San Francisco Chron­ icle. Notions Concerning Bridematds. Instead of being so many graceful or­ naments at the marriage ceremony, as nowadays, the brideuiaids in olden times had various duties assigned to them. Thus, one of the principal tasks was dressing the bride on her wedding morning, when any omission in her toilet was laid to their charge. At a wedding, too, where it was arranged that the bride should be followed by a numerous train of her lady friends, it was the first bridemaid's duty to play the part of a drill mistress, "sizing" them so that "no pair in the procession were followed by, a taller couple." She was also expected to see that each bridemaid was not only provided with a sprig of rosemary, or a floral rose pinned to the breastfoids of her dress, but had a symbolical cliaplet in her hand. In many parts of Ger­ many it is still customary for the bride- maids to bring the myrtle wreath,which they have subscribed together to pur­ chase on the nuptial eve, to the house of the bride, and to remove it from her head at the close of the wedding-day. After this has been done, the bride is blindfolded, and the myrtle wreath be­ ing put into her hand, she tries to place it on the head of one of her bridemaids as they dance around her; for, in accor­ dance with an old belief, whoever she crowns is sure to be married within a year from that date. As may be imag­ ined, this ceremony is the source of no small excitement, each bridemaid being naturally anxious to follow the example of the bride. Referring once more to the bridal wreath and chaplet, it is still a current notion in many parts of our own country that the bride, in removing these, must take special care that her bridemaids throw away every pin. Not only is it affirmed that misfortune will overtake the bride who detains even one pin used in her marriage toilet, but woe also to the bridemaids if they keep any of them, as their prospects of marriage will be thereby materially lessened. How Celluloid Is Hade. Most Celluloid is made in'France,and this is the process of manufacture: A roll of paper is slowly unwound, and at the same time is saturated with a mix­ ture of five parts of sulphuric acid, which falls upon the paper in a fine spray. This changes the cellulose of the paper into pyroxyline (gun cotton). The ex­ cess of the acid having been expelled by pressure, the paper is washed with plenty of water until all traces of acid have been removed. It is then reduced to pulp and passes on to the bleaching trough. It is this gun cotton which gives it its explosive nature. Most of the water having been got rid of by means of a strainer, the pulp is mixed with from twenty to forty per cent, of its weight of camphor, and the mixture thoroughly triturated under mill-stones. The necessary coloring having been added in the form of powder, a second mixture and grinding follows. This pulp is spread out in thin slabs, which are squeezed in a hydraulic press until they are as dr* as chips. Then they are rolled in heated rollers and come out in elastic sheets. They are from that point worked up into every conceivable form. You can get cellu­ loid collars, cuffs, hairpins, shirt fronts, cravats, penholders, brushes and combs, inkstands, knifehandles, jewelry, and everything else almost that you can imagine.

The dress of the Burmese lady is sim­ ple and elegant. They wear the silk loongyee, as the men do, over their lower limbs, and which is simply tucked in at the waist. They were a finer and thioker silk than the men, of a smaller check pattern. A sleeveless injee, a jacket, close-fitting and worn high at the neck, serves to cover the upper por­ tion of the person. This injee is gener­ ally made of fine cloth or velvet, and & ornamented with gold buttons and lace as the taste of the wearer dictates. With young women of position it is in- dispensible that the bosom be com­ pletely covered. Their beautiful long hair is combed back off their foreheads, which are broad and low, bangs not be­ ing in fashion there, and deftly twisted in a coil at the back of their shapely little heads, then fastened in its place with elaborately carved, high tortoise- shell combs, aided by pins of the saaoya ^Mittwaic.
