The house is of jellow brick and Is oiio-atorey»*l; it is built round a small garden that is square, says a wiiter in the London Ulobc. The tiny windows, with thi-ir dainty curtains, look out upon one of the most faniA>us roads in Rus.sia, for it is trodden every year by tltousands of pilgrims, who aie on tlieir way to the neighboring monastery. Tlie root is of sheet iron, and is paLntod groon; it sloiics somewhat, but not eo much as to prevent the oWost son of the family from dancing on it in niomonts of madness, with a noitre that can le iiiiagintd bolter than it Call Ig described. Stabling formd one side of the square; another is used as an office, where a number of clerks in uniform and one or two young lady typewrites toil, or to tc ntoie accurate, renxain from moi-N till eve, from eve to close upon uiid- fiight, sii)ping tea, smoking cigar- ettes, and no dotibt also making up accounts. Near the entraiijce an aged m'aii sits during the summer oh a bench outside against the wall. He is the porter of the bu.siness pai't of the establishment, but his seat is clcksiB to the back gate, so that he can see all wlio enter tiie yard. And a strange, picturosque uumbor of visitors there aie who find their way in by liabit or by chaaco. Poi- ha.ps it is' a gypsy girl in the bright- ly colored costume of the Little Kus- sian peasants. but more frequently it is a b(^ggar, who with a thick stick braves the ferocious dogs tJiat Irtuce forth and back at him with an ei.ergy and ferocity that somelimi.'S upsets even a beggar's ncrves. But om;e in. he advances |jast the stables to the kitchen door, hat in huJid, nsWng alms of every one he meets. Oae laible, or 3s.

Lot us return to the front door and ring the electric bell, if haply we obtain permission to enter the town house of a wealthy tchino\i.'k. Admittance is given by a eliuansy looking peasant, to whom a livery in>itart« neither elegance nor dignity. To right and left oixin the i-iKvption roouB!, which are spacious, well llffhtcid, but somewhat low, and ele- jgantly fui-nished in the style of \V*.«tern Kuroj'e.

It adjoins the buf- fet, arjd as the door of it is almost always op*n the di.scussions of the ser.-.ants may be Ivoard by those who are sitting in the dining-ro-om. The , salon has no furni tare but mirrors with gilded frames, chairs uivhol.sler- od with blue silk, a grand piano in one corner and a gigantic candelab- ra, with oil laiitps that fling their light upon the iiarqucited floor. There is a card-room, too, und the boudoir of the lady of the house, 'Which is crowtlt>d. h.s such rot>ins are wo.i'.t to be, with pictures and nick- nacks and fumlt.ure.

Knock- ing at the door is unknown.

I'erhaps the most sacred plucu in the hoi.se is the bat.liroom. It is a su:all apartment formed in the corri- dor by moans of a wotxien partition and certainly containing nothing in tie waj' of ai contniodation or furni- turn to ju^Ttil'y the almost religious awe in which it is regarded by the family. Xo oi:e but inonibers'of tl-.o fanrily and guests are allowed to spli'ish about in the stonming waters of f'e bath, which is continually b**- ing got ready by a servant with the aid cf thormomeler.

The gardi.ai which forms the square around wliich the house is built, is of laoivrse useless in winter but in auujmer it is j>leasaiit to sit under its high toweling acacias, white with bloom. and to listen to the dound of water as it f..lla into the pool ul tie foiiittain, where gold liah are at play. l-lere; too, on the v/oadeu verandah, the family dino through the summer heat.
