The toilet of a Japa nese woman Is always a refined one, and the sweetest of cosmetics and the most delicate of scents are employed for her beaut ideation. But the New Year's toilet Is something specially fine. On New Year's day the Japanese belle, like the Chinese one. wears no old clothes. Everything from her flowing silk outer garments to her delicately woven underwear Is all new. Her fa vorite color is pink, and her robes are gorgeous in colors of pink and red. Funeral Day In Slam. In Siam nixl in some of -the mountain districts of India all the funerals of people who have died the previous year take place on New Year's day. The bodies are temporarily interred a day or two after death, but are taken to their last resting place on the 1st of January following their demise. The funeral and wedding feasts are cele brated together. The eiT Year's Bell. "Of all sounds of all bells the most solemn and most touching is the peal which rings out the old year," say Charles Lamb. "I never heard It with out a gathering up of my mind to a con cent rat ion of all Images that have been diffused over the past twelve mouths, nil I have done or suffered, performed or neglected in that regret ted time." The Jewish t Year. The Jewish New Year Is in August, but as the 1st of January is regarded by Jews as a civil rather than a reli gious holiday they observe It with the rest of the population.

Washington is uever more spectacu larly interesting than on the one day in the year that Columbia holds her court. Every J'ew Year's morning, bright and early, men and women belonging to the class that Lincoln used to call "tlie dear common people" swarm in hundreds before the White House gates. They are there to catch a glimpse of the envoys of the world's nations on their way to pay their respects to the president of t"j"An ' ted Eutes, or, a -the crowd itseit would put it,, to see the diplomats go by It is invariably a good natured crowd, all elbows, nudges . and exclamation points. i When the various military escorts ; come to a ha.t on the street before the ' gates. :t ap I ;uds If a band strikes up, j t cheers The mounted police come In ' for a fire of au.lib'.e comment, and the always present wit who breaks out in to something clever Is rewarded with a spontaneous gush of infectious laugh ter that oniy a Jolly crowd can achieve. Finally a carriage whirls up and causes a rustle of expectancy. The diplomats have neguu to arrive. It takes only an instant for each equi page ro tiash through the gateway, but the crowd will have caught a burst of bright cdors gold -embroideries and gay plumes, and after this fleeting show ot miscellaneous gorgeousness is over will resolve itself into ' the public" and join the square long procession of citizens In the often disappointed hope of shaking hands with the president later in the day. Before 2 o'clock thousands of men in every station in life will have had a handshake with the president. The tramp, tramp of soldiery will have died In the distance, the White House grounds will be deserted, and Colum bia's court will be ended. New York Tribune. THE KILTIES' NEW YEAR. A Picturesque Custom of Kingr Ed ward's Highlanders. A curious New Year's custom is that observea by the highland regiments in the British army. At five minutes before 12 on New Year's eve the regimental band, pre ceded by Father Time, the oldest sol dier in the ranks, in costume, with hourglass and scythe, plays on the square and out of the barracks gates the strains of "Auld Lang Syne," thus bidding farewell to the old year. At the hour of midnight a knock is heard at the barrack gates, and "Who comes there?" is the challenge, to be followed by answer, "The glad New Year." "Advance, New Year. All is well," is the reply. The gates are then thrown open, and the New Year, represented by the youngest drummer boy in the regiment dressed in highland costume and preceded by the piper of the band, makes a tour of the quarters, ending with the officers' barracks, where a great feast is spread. London Globe. At Frankfort.ca-theHaln. An old Germar custom is always ob served on New Year's eve at Frank-fort-on-the-Main. It is a very pretty way of celebrating and means a large family gathering. All the members of a household join together and make merry. Punch, champagne, cakes and candies are served during the evening. Every one contributes all he can to the fun. and so the entertainment is most delightful. When the clocks of the town begin to strike 12 all the win dows of the whole city are thrown open and the people drink each other's good health and wish one another and everybody a very happy new year. When the last stroke of the hour bas ceased ringing the windows are all closed again, and soon all the inhab itants are soundly sleeping. Pittsburg Dispatch. Philadelphia's New Year'a Parade. While New Orleans has her Mardi Gras and St. Louis the Feast of the Prophet, which are held at other sea sons of the year, Philadelphia, in the heart of winter, midst snow and ice, when indoor entertainments would seem more in keeping, defies the cold and welcomes the new year with a glittering, gorgeous street pageant of fantastically garbed mummers a pa rade that from end to end, and it is usually four or five miles long, is full of life and color. This New Year's pa rade is entirely a Philadelphia institu tion and hud its origin in the dim and musty past; but. uulike many old cus toms, instead of dying out it is con stantly growing in popularity. Phila delphia Press. New Year'a Calls In Olden Days. An American New Year's celebration fifty years or even a few decades ago was a much more enthusiastic affair than It is today. The great feature of the day was the "calling," then a well nigh universal feature in both city and country. Neighbors and friends made It a custom to break the tee of a year s isolation by crossing each other's threshold. Every one's sideboard was prepared with wine and the lighter edibles! and those who did considerable calling usually felt like rising late on the following day Nowadays the call ing Is princ. pally left to the young people and is not made a feature at all of tho hlsr'.irt grades of social life in the larger . itl?-i.

The scenery of i:ie:-e sup-. mountains, which in itself i- eiaremeiy romantic, lends a peculiar chariu to tii:. Simple and truly pasto ral festival, g.veu in honor of the herds of cattie wliich constitute the greatest riches of the inhabitants. "I shall never forget the impression created on my mind by the scene which presented itself to my enraptured eyes on the New Year's eve when, accom panied by same friends who possess a t.unt: :g l.K.ge in the Espinouze. I stood iii.'.i't he portico of a tiny graystone '.iiiii-'.h and watched the flocks being mI ai ti-.'.' -teep incline toward the ;;:.iicju whereon the modest edifice is uui.t The church was a poor little iuuihleilown place, with lichen grown va:..s and a square, ungraceful steeple, the cracked bei! of which was tolling frantically. The edifice was crowded with stalwart jiount.iineers clad in their festive at tire, each of them holding a lighted candle of coarse yellow wax, glimmer ing l.ke tiny stars, and every man and woman singing the old Cevennese hymn beginning with the words, 'Night more beautiful than day.' "In the meantime column after col- j umn of cattle advanced toward the church and, marshaled by their driv ers, took their places in long files on the THE DIUVEliS AND SHEPHERDS ALL FELL UN THEIK KNEES. frozen turf in front of the wide open portico '1 hey approached slowly, pon derously and soicniuly, with a quasi be vvikltf.cil expression at being turned out of tiieii warm stables to face the bitter ol Ir.t'hs of the bleak December night 'I he oxen came first, followed by the cows, sheep and goats in a con tinuous sir am. ;.nd the rajs of the full Uioou, which glittered high above us over the oark slopes of the mountains, shone on i he lung, polished horns and tawny hides of this strange congrega tion Mass was celebrated with the customary pomp by the cure, a white haired and very venerable man, who appeared almost majestic in his heavy brocaded vestments, which must have been several hundred years old. "When lie at last had spoken the usual Ita niHsa est,' indicating that the sacred ceremony is over, instead of re tiring to the vestry he once more lifted the hot from the altar and. followed by the entire congregation, marched to ward the portals, chanting the 'Mag nificat' as he went. Upon reaching the steps of the church the old priest halted and. holding the sacred host high above his head, pronounced some words of benediction in a low but em phatic voice The drivers and shep herds nil fell upon their knees and with bowed heads murmured the responses, while an acolyte, armed with a holy water sprinkler, walked through the ranks of the uow bellowing cattle, sprinkling them with the boly fluid. Whether the animals realized the so lemnity of the occasion or not, all those which had hitherto been lying down arose to their feet, as if to listen to the short but, impressive allocution address ed to the drivers by the venerable cure. "My children." he said. 'God.

The star tled animals bellowed louder and unit ed their powerful voices to the concert It was grand and weird beyond de scription. As the last note died away the cortege began to move, the priest re-entering the church while the animals slowly wended their way toward the valley In the same order as they bad come," Where the Cows Eat Mistletoe. A Worcestershire farmer will take down his mistletoe and give It to the cow that has calved first after the New Year. This, it U said, will bring luck to the entire dairy. NEW YEAR'S IN ARCTIC. 4 Merry Oar With the Icebound Ken England Whalers. They are making Now Year's calls in the arctic, says the Boston Globe. "They" are the American women, wives of whaling captains, who spend three years out of every four In that region, where th perpetual blizzard is Jul motion, and where they rise superior to months and dys and weeks. You can imagine how welcome peo ple are who ar so scarce as In the friendly little fleet near Point Barrow. Whr-i yvi only have three r-Iour wo-, men neighbors you are not going to be snippy and new fashioned and refuse to make the time honored greeting that used to prevail in this eulightened land. Instead you are going to don your best (fur dress suit and sealskin hood and go and pay your respects to those la dies. And the- respects will not be chilly, if the surroundings are, for the spirit of hDspitality can overlook a great deal in the matter of climate and canned peach sherbet. When the 1st of January dawns, with the first peep of the north pole day the men jump into their gunhy-sack-like garments and begin work. The ships are frozen into the ice floes, and the suow must be swept away from ship to ship to form a path. The men have a feverish anxiety to see the day pass without a jar or Jerk in the festivities, and they labor with great enthusiasm to convert this lonely land into something akin to a holiday "in town." The women meanwhile have been making their preparations for the occa sion. The plum pudding bas to be steamed and the crackers and nuts put into dishes that will tempt the bashful whalers, and there is a general air of mysterious concoction that delights and confounds the hungry men who admir ingly survey the scene. They fetch and carry with eagerness dishes and compliments and what not. and before you could say Jack Robinson there is a table set and an array of toastmastera alongside of it, and "The ladies. God bless 'em!" become sort of brown clad angels with sealskin ha!os and a corner on popularity. At about 11 a. m the real day begins, and then there are such a talking and such a feasting and such a belaying there as never were. When a sailor goes calling in the cold, cold land of six months of winter he is not looking for a frost and consequently doesn't get It, And the dinner gorgeous array that it is one vast table in the inner cabin and one vast amount of temptations In the way of food and drink! They all sit down to the china pot, and the sand wiches, and the bits of cranberry, and the loads of walrus rump, and the beef stew, and the bean soup, and there is a lively time. Dried fruits and spiced pickles and many jokes fly about, and there is as much jollity as you would expect from a blackberry juice toddy Innocent of Kentucky rye. And then, after the dinner is over, there is a session of reminiscence and ease and handmade cigars, and the ladies do fancy work on the patterns of three years ago and chat with the men about anything but "shop." Whales may come and whales may go In the meantime, but the chat ter goes on forever, or so the men wish it would as they lounge in the lighted cabin and tell stories of home and think of the women who await them there, and then more talk, and later tea again, and preserved ginger, and jokes not a bit older than those at home. And then they all march home to their icebound ships under the stars of that bignigbt An Odd Italian Custom. A New Year's method employed by the Italian peasant girl to learn what Hymen has In store for her is to stand In the doorway of her home facing the road and kick off one of her slippers with sufficient force to send it back ward over her head and back into the room. If the slipper falls on the sole, the toe pointing toward the door In which the girl stands, she takes it as an omeu that before the new year dies she shall have walked out of her pa rental home and entered another bouse as Its mistress and as a bride. Welsh Snperstltioas. Many of the superstitions of the Welsh peasants with. regard to New Year's day take the form of omens or auguries, foretelling joy or sorrow, prosperity or disaster, during the com ing year. Thus it is a popular belief among this most Interesting people that if a lamp or candle be taken out of a house New Year's day some mem ber of the family 'will die before the new year ushered in that day is out. It Is also a popular belief among them that to throw out ashes or dirty water, or. indeed, anything else, is certain to bring misfortune to the entire house hold during the whole of that twelve month. ' The Deacon's w Y'ear's Discourse. "This is the time o' year," said Dea con Blimber, "that lots o' folks wait fer. so iney kin turn over a new leaf. Maybe they need to, bad enough, but what's the use? Them folks that's al ways turn in over a new leaf at thla time o year mowt jest as well not do it, 'cause, so fer as I ever knowed, ther ain't none of 'em but what starts In right away on the new leaf same's they did on the old nn Them that wants to turn over a new leaf an keep it clean don't wait fer Kew Year's to come afore they do it." A Familiar Superstition. The familiar superstition that what ever you do on New Year's day you will do throughout the year is of an cient origin. The Roman workmen nev er failed to worr a little on New Year's day, so that patronage would not be wanting througboot the year Letlla the Old Year Out. In old times the Saxons used to dance around an apple tree on New Tear's eve singing a song. This was supposed to Insure a good crop. Also bells were rung to notify the people of the going out of the old and the coming m ot the new year. Pay Copyright, 1904, by T. C. McClure. f'j7'M very sorry, but there's not a 1 1 chair left in the parlor car." The - ii Pullman conductor, looked really distressed. Somehow the Gibsou esque figure of Stella May hew seemed utterly incongruous with a day coach for a background. It was the after math of the Christmas rush, with fam ily parties and numerous single tour ists returning from a week's pleasur ing in the big city. That was all the reason why he hated to see Miss May hew doomed to the day coach. It would be crowded to suffocation. "I'll see what I can do," he said courteously as he turned to assist her into the coach behind the parlor car. "Perhaps some one may fail to turn up and a reservation may be forfeit ed." "Thank you,'' said the girl gracious ly, and, followed by the porter and her suit case, she disappeared into the day coach. It was as the conductor had feared crowded. She passed down the aisle "WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A MAN COMES TO A CROPPER ? " and had about decided that she would have to go in a car behind when the sound of her own name, spoken in a surprised voice, brought her to a stand still. "Jack Moreland!" she cried in won der and held out both hands impul sively, utterly unmindful of the inter ested passengers and the grinning por ter. Moreland took both her hands, then suddenly remembered and drop ped them without speaking. Flinging his bag from the seat next the win dow, he made room for her. She, too, had recovered from the shock and the pleasure of this unexpected meeting, though her cheeks were flushed a trifle. ; "Perhaps you were saving that seat for some one." "No; I think my good angel must just have warned me of your coming." He settled her luggage nnd dropped into the seat beside her. "This is great luck," he remarked. "And to think that I have been dread ing this trip!" "You don't deserve ' meeting me. Here I have been back a fortnight, and you haven't been near" the house." She did not add. even mentally, that she had missed the flowers which bad come from him daily before her trip abroad. "I have been very busy," lie said gravely, at which she smiled quiz zically. "Planning a barn dance for the Pen-nifield-Browns or steering some pretty western woman through the shoals of New York society?" "Neither," he said shortly. "That is not my line jnst uow." "Oh!" she looked out of the window. He had changed, and yet he had seem ed very glad to see her "Did you make the mistake of failing to have n seat reserved in the parlor car too?" "Xo; I have taken to riding In day coaches lately." She glanced at him quizzically. "Don't tell me. Jack, that you're go ing in for literature and ore studying types." Then "she hadn't heard. Why should he tell her now, with a thirty mile run through paradise liefore him? "Types are interesting Iou'C you think so? Iia ther different, these peo ple, from the sort you'll see at the Brandons' tonight. I supiiose you are going out to spend the week end with them." "Yes. And you too?" "No; I'm bound for Poughkecpsie." ne bent over suddenly to pick up a violet which had fallen from the great bunch at her belt. "These must seem mighty poor imitations after seeing the real thing in Italy," he said as he straightened up. Stella looked from him to the flying landscape. Pougbkeepsie! And be was so anx ious to change the subje-et. She had heard rumors of his interest in Dick Farrar's young si3ter. Perhaps she was in Yassar college. No, not now during the holidays. Jack went on talking quietly about her trip, asking her questions, which she answered half mechanically. A lit tle country schoolteacher seated across the aisle watched them curiously. They made her think of a frontispiece In a novel illustrated by Christy. Suddenly bo glanced at his watch. "By Jove, bow time has flown! We'll pull into your station In five minutes." Stella Mayhew watched him gather up her luggage as one In a dream. For her the time had dragged, and It (1 II ga was his fault He had changed, while she "When we come back to town I hope you'll find time to call." She put an odd little emphasis on the word "time." "Thanks awfully, but I'm not going about much, and" He saw the look, half wondering, half hurt, which crept into her eyes, and he turned to her abruptly. His face had gone a bit white and bts voice had lost its eyen quality. "I thought you knew. No; I lacked the courage to tell you," he said calm ly, "I took a business cropper, and I'm going to Poatfikeepsie to sell der ricks for the Graham people. And I'm riding in a day coach because I can't afford Pullmans." She was staring at him with wide eyes. "Jack. 1 l don't understand. Oh, why didn't you tell me this lefore?" "Because I was a blooming coward." The traiu was slowing up. "And now you'll see why I'm not playing the so cial game very strong this season." He was standing in the aisle, her suit case in his hand. "Iteincinber me to the Brandons; awfully uice couple." She nodded her head and followed his straight, square shouldered figure from the car. The Braudou footman was waiting for her. "Jack." she said suddenly. He had swung back on the train. She caught her breath sharply as he lifted his hat and nodded to her cheerily; then she turned toward the depot and the wait ing carriage. "And I never even said I was sorry." That night she cornered her host In the library. "Mr. Brandon, what does it mean when you come to a cropper in busi ness?" "That depends on the man, girlie. Who has been coming croppers?" "Jack Moreland." "Moreland, eh?" said Mr. Brandon, flicking the ashes lightly from the cigar. "Well, the young cub was a fool. After his father had been dead four years four years, mind you It was found that he had er hypothe cated certain funds belonging to es tates for which he was trustee. Beau tiful piece of work the old man did took four years to unearth it, and even then the thing could have been fought out in court, and Ids heirs would have won on a technicality. But young Moreland lost his head and threw up his whole share of the estate to cover what be chose to call his father's dis honor. Nearly drove his mother crazy. The old lady has plenty to live on and has gone to Loudon, where she will not be forced to realize too keenly the fact that her sou is selling er derricks." "She was very cruel and he her only boy," said Stella musingly. "And he was a fool, according to up to date business methods. Better come Into the billiard room. They're playing pool." "No; thanks. I I want to run up to my room for a few moments." And when she came back she carried a letter, which she asked a servant to take to the village for the early morn ing mail. It was addressed to "Mr. John ('. Moreland. Care Graham Con tracting Co., Duaue Street, New York City," and it ran: Dear Old Jack Forgive me. I didn't understand. I thought you wero not glad to K-f me back. Von might hava knovn It wouldn't have mads any difference not a bit - do yon understand? You haven't played fair with mo, but I'm coming back to town on Monday, and If you come up Monday right vwry early perhaps I'll forijive o! ili. Jack. Jack, why couldn't you trust mo? And It's going to be a happy, happy New Year for uh both. As always. STKLLA.
