THE LARGEST STOCK OF ; ail unusually LARGE AND es almost everything you want. wish to store it. - h & anager. As Others See Vs. One of the Chicago papers tells 08. what a Javanese dancer in the Midway Plaisauce thinks of America and Americans. She is well educated and v;/>r writes Arabic fluently. Her name is Ejot, and she is one of the best dancers in the court of the sultan at Solo, and . 'M considered an artist of rare merit la her own country. This is, in part, '$! what she wrote: "America is large and strange and co!d. The climate seems to me toaf- .;-M feet the people and make them rough and noisy. I never heard so much oise in ray life. In my home we do m not make great noise. Our emotions are aispiayea, out taey are quiet ana ; melodious; here joy and displeasure appear to call forth harsh sounds. ^ They all seem to be in great haste, find they chew something all the time. "The ladies are the most beautiful things in America, but tbey are very Grange to me. They always want to shake bands., Then they kiss each jther. I do not like that In my country we kiss only our mother and ' ' jisters. Their dress is beautiful. \ rheir form is strange. I think they Bust wear something around the waist :o hold them rigid. They are all much arger than we are, yet their waists are (; tmaller. "The other day one of my lady vial- V :ors asked to come into my bouse to irrange tier dress. She was as beautirul as the Java twilight. Her dress was the same, but very strange. She wore jewels beneath her garments, where no one could ever see them. If the American woman wears jewels on tier knees, why does she not wear her jress short so people can see them? rhis one had much lace on her clothes. We never wear any but a single piece >n the waist. She had great quantises. She had on so many tkirts that [ do not know how she walked. She , ' never could run, I am sure. It is a wonder to me how they keep their hats ;; )n. I am sure that the thin cloth they (year over their faces would choke me. "I like the children best. Thev look so clean, and always have their laces washed. "I will some day get an American lady's dress, and put on just to see how [look. No one will ever see me with , ' ton. I should be ashamed. Another ady asked me to sell her my dress.. , She wanted to wear it, she said. It uade me angry. No one should ask for ny dress. "I do not like the men in America. rbey are not polite. Since I have been lere many men who have been with adies bave pointed their canes and finders at me and said something. That s very impolite. We bow, but we lever point. The men do take their iats off when they talk to us in our * louses. It is not what they do in lava. "I will be glad to return to Bolo. I vill tell my sisters of the strange hings, but they will not believe me. 3ut we are in a strange country. At liome we are happy and live our lives lowly. Here people live lives in one lay. "Avery strange thing is the auesious asked. Everybody asks if 1 am narried; if I am single; bow old I am, f I paint my hair black; if my feet lurt me; and wben I answer people augb. That is very bad taste. Some lay they will learn better, for they tell ne tbat ibis is a young conntry." Melt-Control, The other day three or i four day aborers in their Sunday clothes got ?* * n of Ann nf ftiA ofoflrna in /win. HI Cft liaiu ab v/ut vi wuv ovnvivuo iu wu~ ral New York. They had evidently >een "treating" each other, and were rery noisy and free of speech. Some, if the gentlemen passengers tried to {tiiet them, but without success. As he conductor entered the car to colect the fares the uproar was was loud, iie tried to have the offenders go into he smokfog car, and as they refused, le called his assistants and put them here. Of course, there was a severe cuflie as the party went nearly the ength of the car. The air was blue Vith sulphur, so to speak, and the lectric conditions very tense and hrilling for the time being, One lady veut into hysterics; two or three rociferated loudly and expostuated vigorously. But the majority of he women passengers were quiet, kept i?j- i.a neir setus, uciu tucn wukuco, auu cted like men. Id the scuffle one of he ruffians was set down in the lap of n elegantly dressed young woman, uat for a second. She uttered not a rord or moved a muscle, though eviently not at all insensible to the sitution. She was accustomed to conrolling herself, as were the rest of the omen who kept still. Such occureuces are liable to take place any ay. The situation was not serious, nly a little excitlug. The young omau referred to remarked when the IFair was over: "I am extremely nervous, but lean ontrol myself if I begin in season, nd don't 'let myself go' at the very eginuingof emergencies." The woman who is mistress of ber?lf is almost always mistress of the tuation in which she is placed. To e mistress of one's self requires that tie should not "let herself go" in the eginningof trouble. ?Glass is taking the place of wood >r flooring in the stores of Paris.
