"THE CENTENNIAL N KW IDEAS TRANS
FORMATION BOSTON V'OUT.UAL
BKAL ESTATE.
New York, June 10, 1876,
THE jCKSTENNIAL.:
Everybody isadvisingeveryhodv else
to stay away, in the consistent manner
or human nature, but nobody FponiK to
take tlie ad vice to heait. It is. true tliat
an the departments are not lit order,
and prolMibly will not b& rmih before
the fourth of July. There is enough
now to see that is of intere-t but it will
not be advisable to visit the exhibition
till after the middle ot this mom li.
Till the summer heat are over, Ph Ia
delphia is one of the hottest citie in the
Union, It ie oot on the coast directly
aa is New York and Boston, with a
sea breeze of it own to cool it each
afternoon, but is inland, and lies, shut
in from the ocean winds, no that it lies
baking in airless heat all midsummer.
The parties of country people coming
from the Centennial are apt to be cross
and wiked-looking already, their linen
dusters are soild and stringy, their
money used up jwetty closely, and the
whole part? footsore, aud tired of be
ing crowded and stared at by tine peo
ple. If there are children along, they
are fractious with fatigue and excitement,
their root liers wild with trying to keep
them in order, ti?I every woman of theui
ia willing to give bonds, if she eflll (kill,
get home again, never to leave ft for a
score of centennials. This is a picture
ot not a tew groups one ees leaving
the exhibition. I would advise that
all children of a neighborhood board
out by the etay-at-homes in turn, while
their fathers and mother go to the
Centennial. It is no use trying to nee
it with children in tow; they don't
see enough to pay them for the trouble
ot going, and their room is wanted for
older folk. Hie. youi'tj ones will
probably live to have centennials of
01 some fort when they are old enongl
not to be nuisances. ; Let tlieirvparenls
go without therfiL and take what com.
t . . 1 . . .
ion, wiey can rrom the big show; they
will in most cases be glad enough to
get home, but will have euous?h to talk-
about to lat them the rest ot thei
regular lives. j
xxvr ideas.
The very change will do people in
tne country good, by bringing them
face to face with the last production ot
civilization, and giving their ideas fric
tion with those of other nations and
classes. It takes such an occasion as a
Centennial to bring out the very folks
who need to visit fairs and. exposition,
the stay-at-homes who iiardly leave the
town they live in once ia twenty years.
They ate apt to carry home some no
tions that astonish the neighbors, oot

seeing so-and-so adopt anything fresh.
It is pleading to see alterations that
passes over wine groups as they grow
familiar with new modes and customs.
They walk about the first day awkward
and old-fashioned enough, the observed
ot all observers, or would bo if there
were not so many old-fashioned to keen
them company. The next da' the girls
have a new necktie, the boys drop, their
turn down collars for standing ones,
and they buy the old lady- a vail to
c-jver her bonnet which isn't the latest
style. Then as the linen dusters get
soiled and wrinkled, the young- men
lake courage, and finding how cheat
: . I
unung ui me o y, nine out in a
ready-made suit of neat style, and while
hey are about it, a fancy straw hat
that transforms them into a yerv pleas
ant Ppecimen of intelligent yoiin
American gentlemen, that is, presuming
them to have good manners to start
with, which most boys, brought np by
goi mothers, have, whether they be
long to country, or town.. The girls,
not to lie behind, study the way the
city gins do np their hair, aud when
uiey nua iticr home-made ptpHn
growing to. arm, venture on an em
broidered linen dress or two, ready
made, and a lace scarf to ften the
effect round their necks. They get
fresh gloves of nice color and pin their
Iresses back like other folks when the
brotliers hii.t that they would like u
see them look more lika other folks-
even the old lady, by the time she l.a
a new polonaise, to keep her long veil
company, looks quite respectable, and
when the whole party goes home, thev
lake back a notion of living and aptiear
ing better that will do them good all
tneir uves to come.
A TRANSFORMATION.
One lady tried, the virtues of citv
a
shojw in a veryf satisfactory manner.
Stie was quite p ain, with that straight-
haired and high-browed plainness whicl
forms the most hopeless sort of bad
looks. Mie burnt her hair off frizzi. e
it, and it would not disguise the se.er
ity ot her. face, Even her devoted
friends wished she could do something
to make it easier to endure her looks
While in the city one day she desper
ately, went to a li road way magician, I
was going to call her, but it really is a
hair-dresser and cosmetic atrist, who
understands the art of making the most
of faces. The plain lady sat down at
me coitteur's glass and to'd her. "Do
what you can to make me look ttter.
No sooner said than done. Mie looked
in the glass more than satisfied. Bv
skiUful adjustment and a few touches
to supplement nature, she was trans
formed kito a. very tassable looking
woman, with atyle if not rjositive
beauty.
The first thing her husband said to
her was, "I don't know what you have
been doing to yourself, but vou certain!,.
look better than I ever saw you." Her
friends said. "Why did vou navr
look so before ?' I0 priyate her bus.
band insisted on laving the chano-
plained to him. A dozen hair-pins
pulled out and the original homAlinoc
stood before bim. A band of soft f,i.
ral curls woven on an invisible fonnda.
tion shaded the unpleasant brow. eiv.
ing the face a softened expression, and
a braid oF hair, fine and delicately light
in weight, was added to the twist at.
the back ot the head, mafcino- ci.0t-
aad classio knot. The whole arrange
ment weighed only threa onnrM ,A
m vva
when on, defied detection. The bus.
band thought minute, lie had al-
BEGISTERt
ways scoffed ;at" toilet tricks, tint their
effect was Uk much for him.- Disci
pline must be .maintained in the family,
however, at any cost, ad twmng to
her he said with delicacy, "My dear, I
llPvav i ' ' m " h
..n. ,.Ne alr) as yoo know, but
T think you had better continue the use
of a little additional hair, till youx own
grows .t; And if I ever catch you
going without itjKj-ou may lietake your-
f j tlie Centennial for all me. ' The
wife "heard, and being a dutiful woman,
or,eyed. JMit great was the wonder
ment in her neighborhood when she
went Home, with her new coquetries, so
iiansiormed that her family agree in
protesting tliat her husband got the
oest-iookutg wife of the lot after all.
1 hey agreed, fh.ally, on the theorv of
taray deveUpment to solve the mystery.
Her. husband keeps the eet well, and
