Free A Gossiping Party on the Lake Gakdi. — The female population appear to have but one sole absorbing occupation, the eternal washingof every washable ; children, clothes, plates, dishes, silk-worm coocoons, beds, and even chairs and tables, in the lake. Indeed, the lake is the soul of theplace, and every transaction of life among the peasante appears to take place on its sloping shore. When we first came, everybody bathed in it, some few in the perfectly unsophisticated and unembarrassed costume of our first parents, but the majority in night-gowns, petticoats, old dressing-gowns, sheets, or anything else that came to hand; while many sat in the lake, like the Great Mogul, " for company's sake, under a huge umbrella." But the funniest thing was to see ancient peasant crones, when work was done, calmly gather uptheir scanty garments above their venerable knees, and walk into the lake, chair or stool in hand, to a convenient distance, and there, after planting their chairs firmly in the stones at the bottom, sit to gossip and cool down for the night. The first old party I saw perform this feat I believed to be insane; but when others followed, I grew calmer, and now that I know ft to be " their custom always in an afternoon," I regard the proceeding with as much indifference as the" natives themselves. — Once a Week*
