Kashmir toy be called the Sanitarium •.f India, though it is only within the last few years that English women hare ventured into it, owing to the greet difficulty of getting over the Himalayan ane. it. To me that was by tar the pleasantest part of our journey, and 1 think I may say the same of all our party. We came in reenlar tipsy hash i n, taking a couple of week. to get over tl.e nearly 11:0 miles ..f mountains. We made a march of from ten to fifteen miles daily, pitching our tents or else staying over night in the travellers' bun - The whole way, with the eseeptien of the tint forty miles, is a narrow moun- tain path. over which no one eould ven- ture to take a vehicle of any sort. Coolies carried our baggage and pro vision ; also the children. invalids and weakly eines of our party had to be ear. ried by coolies in • curt of boat in which en • could sit or lie. Not being an invalid I preferred to wdk, when a Bill pony cried not be ob- tained. I must here walked not lees than sixty mile,. Mr Wilecn grew ito strove over it that he walked that last march of smitten mile, without being in the least fatigued. I waked it too, but must own that it was almost too much for me. What magaiheent views we got. Great towering snow capped mountains above us. with streams tumbling down their sales, and below us the roaring Jhelum. The road f.•llows the course of the river all the way and are often a thousand feet above it. It seemed like hanging in mid air. Of course the road was dangerous. Donkeys carrying loads often tall over precipices into the river he'ow, cwt hon- dreds of people travel over it every sum- mer and Do lives have been Ant, so why should we he afraid. The valley of Kashmir i, very much lake some parte of Ontario When we came in the middle of April the apple and peach trees were in full bloom, and the houses made one think of our finest C.inadian spring weather. The houses are rudely contructed, even the poisons sod all the woof, are covered with grana 1 saw one roof a perfect maga of bright tulips. Srinagar,- the capital -.f Kashmir, is a city of about 125.000 inhabitants and is an alwominab'yadirty place. The pert reserved for English resi- dents is away beyond the retire city, and would be all the better were it a few miles farther away from (.rind gar odours. Th. ricer Jhelum forms the main street of the city. There is no such thing as a wheeled sehicle in all Kashmir. People go to the bazar in boats. We tented for the first three week, in the part "f the city reserved tee English vlel"r& When finding a lovely spot on the side of a lake- -tbe lake celebrated In Moore's j/Illa Ilot'kb- we moved our tents tan and remained there. It began to grow sultry and warts, when tee days ago we climbed the moue - tains to this table land. Yoe see we ars becoming very nomad- ic. as all dwellers in tents are. This, however, will be our last move until we net out on the homeward journey, in *beet three weeks hence. Miss Beatty is not vet strong enough for the journey, and will not return be- fore September.

A young lady was notieed a few days since in • prominent Dundee street dry w mod, house, whose attire, ur rather mike up, attracted considerable atten- tion.

The waist mune 1 down to • sharp point, back and front, while • strip of black lace extended from the neck to each point, and was finished with a small, insignificant knot of black ' ribton. The neck of the c'r.a. was cut neither high nor l tw, and a narrow, old- fashioned linen colar was word around the throat. The bottom of her skirt was trimmed with a straight band of black lace les than three inches wide, put oh Pa much the same manner as worthy old 'grandmas are apt to trim their big silk aprons.

AN ARTIST AND HIS MODEL, A Perlrwlt roister Valls to Lave wItb ■s. ■ edet asiw w'IU Saw mer. It is not quite a year sarics the well ea own artist William M. Chase, Baton ished his friends by announcing his mar riage with Masa Gertson, who for sons time previous had 1csed as hie model And now one of the foremost portrai and figure painters in New York has de e t deed to follow his example. 1Caytt Easton is to many Mies Collins, • model who has for Tears posed for the Art Stu- dentsLeague, and also for many of the figure painters in this city. The wed- ding will take place during the present mouth. He is about forty years old, hu been a widower for eighteen months and u highly e.tee ned by his friend& He was the first secretary of the Society of American Artists. The ptiospective bride is • little over twenty years of age and is of English parentage. She has a p!eauog face, a somewhat robust figure and is considered an excellent model. TO It welts. O`( .'OLDLY. The intended marriage has occasion ed a good deal of comment io many quer tern and • wide difference of opinion exists as tc the advisability of an art marrying his model. It was M. de I Itedollaere who gave the youngsters bit of advice on this subject- "Oh young artist," he said, "do not look ups these persons from any other than • prc teseional standpoint ; regard them cold 1y : see in your model only a gracious stelae an.' do not attempt to become the Pygmalion of the lovely Galatea before ycu " But professional models sometimes possess qualities that are highly attrac- tive. A good model should have eenti• ment as well as intelligence. She should Rq comprehend the iotentiockof the Irti.t as to make of herself actor in the little drama which he depicts upon the .anvas, and by hue sympathy with his work she can contribute materially to the successful accomplishment of it. (.•n- f..rtunately, however, most models are unequal h. this effort They are content with lending the figure only and dispense with the rest- Yet society has its 'tre- nding, and probably moat parents whose • .ns have entered the rapidly growing profession of artists would prefer to have these limit their attentions to the aide's employed to the professional re- quirements of the ease. ..Twang tl•%a DONE KO.
