A NECLECTED VIRTUE.
The Old-Fashioned Hospitality Ia
Lacking Among Most Peo?
ple To-Day.
Hospitality ls one of the first vir?
tues, as well as one of the finest cour?
tesies of life. One can do nothing
for a friend or cotifer a higher
honor upon a stranger than to throw
open the doors of his house with a
generous Invitation to Join the family
circle for a time. In the construction
nf a modern house a blunder fully as
serious as the omission of a bathroom
or a heating plant is the failure to
provide one room more than the fam?
ily will ordinarily need?a guest
chamber. As an aid to culture and re?
finement, as a means to the proper
training of children In good manners
and self-respect, there ls nothing more
effective than a wise and liberal hos?
pitality. To the fact that his parent
kept open house for the circuit preach?
er, the occasional sojourner, the visit?
ing friend from the old home in the
east, many a young person In the mid?
dle and western part of the country
owes his early abd useful knowledge
of the ways of the world, his ease la
society, and a fund of Information
gathered from the conversation to
which often he has listened with
breathless Interest
Hospitality is only one degree less
valuable as an educational measure
than travel. Nott to seeing all lands
and peoples and customs ls to meet
those who have traveled in distant
parts and brought back In their con?
versation specimens of what their fac?
ulty of observation picked tip. under?
stood and retained. If lt is true that
"as Iron sharpens Iron so a man
sharpens the countenance of his
friend," the parent who denies* him?
self and his family of growing chil?
dren the.benefit and pleasure of an
occasional guest must be regarded as
stupid and stingy and selfish.
But this virtue should find Its spring
not only In the fact that a pi.
the house ls a source of Inspiration,
that he leaves behind him the Influ?
ences of nls Individuality, that the
scripture enjoins hospitality on the (
ground that we may be entertaining
angels unawares, but also In the truth j
and obligation of brotherhood.
Emerson, In his essay on "KrP n ! (
ship,' 'says: "We are holden to men
by every sort of tie. by blood, by pride,
by fear, by hope, by lucre, by lust, bv
hate, by admiration, by every circum?
stance and badge and trifle, but we
can scarce believe that so much char?
acter can subsist in another as to draw
us by love. Can another be so blessed
and we so pure that we can offer him
tenderness?"
Yet this ls the wry thing men need.
When they come on voyages of dis?
covery In onr neighborhood they do
not relish a flight of poisoned arrows,
but they seek the gold and silver of
our hearts. In some directions man?
kind is not slow to recognize and act
' is fact. The sick are .
the dead are burled, the orphan la
housed. In these matters benevolence
Iles In actions, not In feelings and Bes)*
tlments. Are we aware that the pos- t
tejaotOBJ of the capacity of hospitality
carries with lt an obligation ol
Many are not unlike Robeeca.'l Aunt
Miranda. The child had been sent to

informed author of "Rebecca." "set?
tled over the assembly. There was
lome cogent reason why every sister
there was disinclined for company."
I"he little girl could not withstand the '
[tuart of that silence and therefore In
rlted the missionary with his wife and
? . the Mei boose." nut t
when she got home and Impart' d the j
news that company would be at the

from her Aunt Miranda: "R.x

I say that there are a good many
ieople who belong to the same hard?
shell club as Aunt Miranda, whose t
notto seems to be: "Don't do anything
Of anybody unless you can't I ?
? ourself; and when you can't help

to-day a lesa number of children of

The Language
of Feminine Clothes in
Japan
Doug-Its Sltden, Author of " Queer Thing's About
Jiptn," Writes of Women's Dress.
[M JAPAN nothing ls as sim?
ple as lt looks, for every?
thing has a double mean?
ing, too subtle for the ordt- '
nary' tourist to discover.
Not knowing the lan- '
guage of clothes, they at
first sight seemed to me delightfully
simple, If, from a feminine standpoint,
rather lacking In excitement In a
country where millinery la an un?
known Quantity, and the style and cut
of your gowns never change, what can
tba ordinary woman have to think
about? Imagine a land without fash?
ion papers or advertisements of
straight-fronted corsets!
A woman's wardrobe appears to
consist of an outer and inner kimono,
a gorgeous obi or sash, soma exquisite
hair-combs, and a fan, while, Instead
of a watch, she carries a valuable to?
bacco pouch and plpe-cas*.
There are, of course, a few more
articles of seemingly less Importance,'
such as the tabl, or tblck.whlte foot-'
gloves, which serve as both stockings
and slippers, and the high wooden \
clogs or gata, worn In place of boots,
and always put on at the front door
on going out, and knocked off there on
entering the house; and last, but not
least, the dress-Improver or obl-age,
which supports the butterfly sash, and
gives lt the correct hump.
But If women In Japan do not tight
lace their straight-fronted corsets,
they make up for this western Idio
a pincushion, are also the signs by
which ye shall know the won..
are compelled to live In tba '
no night." Women of the higher
classes only adorn their beads with
veritable works of art in dull gold
lacquer, can -shell, and
coral; they are careful Ml
the skewer-like ornaments witt
all the world ls familiarized in paint?
ings and on fans, us. d by tai
fortunate sueters.
The magnificence and ri
girl's wedding trousseau does not o
much denote the wealth of the par?
ents as their devotion to her as a
child, for ber mother begins to save
up and purchase, blt by blt, her
daughter's wedding outfit from her
very infancy, and her bridal
which ls always white, does not signi?
fy ber virginal nature, as lt does with
us, but her burial shroud (for white
ls the mourning color In Japan, anJ,
therefore, never wyra by children);
for a bride goes to be married :
like a corpse, to show that from
henceforth she ls dead to her own par?
ents, and although her trousseau
should be large enough to sup;
with clothes for the rest of her ttfe,
she must pay her first visit to her own
people after her marriage in a kimono

Although a Japanese woman seems
to be much more simply dressed thar:
her western sister land certainly sh.
has reduced the number of ber gar
ments down to a very fine point), stu
ls none the less a daughter of Eve in
her love of personal adornment. Pbf
Instance, every Ume her hair is taken

Just aa an obi ought to sit, and has sa'
ever since they were adopted by ber
remote ancestors.
Undoubtedly with a Japanese wom?
an the richness of her hair ornaments,
and the splendor of ber obi, constitute
her chief vanities and extravagant*?><
In dross, and it Is, after all, only in
her short years of mcusaeebood that
she has much opportunity for annoy?
ing other women, or pleasing the op?
posite sex by the beauty and variety
of these vanities of the flash. Of the
young wife, the husband demands that
the wearing of her fine trousseau shall
be reserved for hie own and his par?
ents' eyaa only.
The older a woman grows, the sad?
der and duller her clothes become (as
a child she ls resplendent as a butter?
fly), and the less ostentatious the fine
chignon of glossy blank hair which she
piles on the top of ber head to pro?
claim her wlfebood ta the eyee of the
world; and, alas! If she ie left a wid?
ow, her fine head of bair la ahaven off
to show har desolatlom.
In Japan the wedding ring ls Bot the
sign manual of a married woman, but
the dressing of her hair, and not the
length of her kimono sleeves. A mous

as a matron, and ber bair ls less elab?

children the distinction of sex is
shown by the color of the clotl

Boys wear yellow, girls red.
L'ud< r his kimono a man of the tip?
per class wears a sort of kilted, divided
skirt, something approaching the na?
ture of trousers. This is called the
nakoma, and is always made of stiif
silk. A woman wears, instead, an un
der-klmono. Both sexes wear two
little aprons round the loins, called
koshl-makl, and a sort of shirt called
the suso-yoke. Neither a man's obi nor
his bair are, of course, bis glory and
pride as they are with a woman, tlc
narrow male sash ls not an Item of
great Importance, for although it is
always made of rich silk, lt is worn
not so much for show as for use, lo

In the severest weather both tlie
sexes wear padded kimonos, and the
men have a short haorl, or over |
which only reaches to about
knees. A woman's complete DWtfii
costs much more than a man's, al?
though the actual number of u
menu abe wears at one time are few?
er. Prof. Chamberlain, In his "Things
Japanese," says: "A Japanese lady's
dress will often represent a value of
$200, without counting the ornaments
