I WEALTHY. | X BY M. AT WOOD STUART. J ! ♦. < > The train rolled out of more than Egyptian darkness and stopped sud denly. The flare of mnny lights, the rum ble and roar of traffic,and the throngs ot people in the streets, proclaimed the station to be a city, and a great one. Tho passengers whose changing place of destination is was, poured out, pushing and jostling against a stream of people coming in, for the train was a through one and the time limited. Among tho last to rencli tho plat form was a young girl, clad in uiourn iug, evidently a stranger. She looked about her wonderingly, as thotiji with the commo'ion and noise and confusion she could hardly think. Presently, by tlie intercession of'the station master, she setiure.l a carriage and role away. By aad-by she reached her destina tion,and becauie slie so desired, in the cour eof events she found herself in the presence of the master of the house. In his baud he held the letter brought him by his careful hem hmati, who state 1 that the bearer wai'ed be low. Hating perused the letter, the edict had returned that she appear before him. "Have you come straight from homo?" "i'es." "How long has it taken you?" fchs told him. "And what is your name?" "Wealthy." "Humph! Don't fit your present fortune." A pause. "How old are you?', "Sixteen my next birthday." "Umph!" Another pause. "Well, Dorothy, I suppose we shall have to let her stay." L/»t her stay! and the. pale orphan girl, a mere child, without father or mother, was his own brother's daugh ter, a stranger in a strange land al most, homeless and penniless; and the Dituningß could have housed a regiment, and were fairly rolling in wealth. A-trembling with the strangeness of the reception, scarcely comprehend ing the right and the wrong of the whole matter, and already homesick, timid little Wealthy stood with down cast eyes brimming over with tears, while they so positively decided her fate. Mrs. Dorothy Dunning put down her work. "Come with me,"she said. Wealthy followed to an apartmeut containing two be.ls. Hore she was told she might sleep. "This lied will be yours," indicating the bed containing one child, "and you can have the care of these three children," pointing to the other, in which were two, three boys in all, sleeping soundly. "You can dress them in the morn ing, hear their prayers, and open the room to air. Then come to me and I will tell you what next to do." Wealthy silently acquiesced by an inclination of the head. Left alone, she gave up, heartbroken, to real, genuine grief. "Oh, papa, papal" she sobbad, as she crept to bed at last, weeping. Poor Kttle Wealthy! "On the whole, it is quite as well," said Mrs. Dunning, when she went back to the drawing-room. "We will discharge the present nurse for Arthur, Rob and Joe, and she can serve instead. She told you she was uearly IG, and she looks capable." "Her name will do very well for a «ervant," remarked Lou, the oldest /laughter, and young lady of the family, looking over the top of her music iheet. "Ahem!—hardly a servant. Yon must remember sho is your cousin, you know," said Doctor Dunning, evincing a slight twinge of con science. "She needn't try cousin-ing me," muttered Lou, turning away to her own affairs; and at the end of a week Mrs. Dorothy Dunning had decided the same, and mentally vowe 1 that the handy Wealthy should forget the relationship, and keep her place with the children and mind the housework, which she could perforin with such dexterity. So Wealthy found herself one of the nurses, who wore employed to take caro of th.» six Dunniug chil dren, her charge being the threo oldest, except Lou. She. l>e\us 18 and out in society. was considered l-evond a nurse's care, and never turned a baud over to brighten anybody's life. But there were gleans of bright ness in Wealtby's life, after all. Pleasant days she took the children to the park, uud, while she sewed and minded them, she could also fenst her eyes on the beautiful trees and green sward and the blue skies; BO blue, Wealthy thought; skies anywhere else were never so blue as those. Little by little she learned that 'the best of us all, in one wsy or another, work more or less,and she argued that, per haps, hers was not such a hard lot its it might have been, in spite of the fact that she was obliged to be busy at something nil the time. She was thaukful for what she had, and worked and sang and made the best of it. And so it went ou for six months. July camo aud Doctor and Mrs. Dunning aud Lou went away to cool Birohlandii. "Doctor Edwards is coming to Birchlands this season," reported Mrs. Dunning at the end of the fort night. "Very wealthy family. Ternard,. the oldest soil, has studied in Europe and has returned and taken liis father's practice. Every one is speak ing of the celebrated Doctor Edwards —an excellent parti for Lou." Lou matched her pretty eyes with prettier ribbons, and when he called she rustled to greet him in the fleecy raiment that had cost Wealthy hours of patient eudeavor to think out, and fit, and make—a creature of a dream and fair to look upon, "as beantiful as u fancy," Decter Edwards thought. But in the chain of circumstances, there Wire other incidents. In tue city the oppressive heat was telling oil poor, puny Arthur, and one day Wealthy, nurse, housekeeper and commander-in-chief, found another care on her hands, a sick boy. Gently she quieted him, tenderly she ca ed for him, but at dusk she stood despairingly by h's bedside, with the realization that the disease was beyond the scope of her immediate prescriptions and fully aware that the boy was on dangerous ground. What could she do? Send for her uncle? He was miles away, and Arthur might die before his father reached him. Send for a doctor? Where? Neither she nor any of the children knew tbe location of any physician's ollice in the city. Speak to tlio neighbors? Yes, but it is August, and they are all away. Completely battled in this labyrinth of perplexities,suddenly a bright idea occurred to her. Looking hastily out of the window she saw a bright light away down the street on the opposite side. "That must be Doctor Edwards that I have heard so much about, I know," she said. And shortly after ward, Doctor Bernard Edwards, pro fessional, indeed, but handsome, iine eyed and kind, was obeying an urgent summons up the street. He stayed all through the hot night with the sick boy, soothing and help ing him and lightening for poor Wealthy what otherwise would have been aseasun of multitudinous terrors —and when morning dawned once agaiu, Arthur's life was sa\ed. And dnriug that night he had be come interested in the faithful, lovely young girl. Doctor Edwards always looked grim reality straight in the eye, and he found out what her position was in that house, and such a distaste for Lou Dunning's frivolous beauty came over him at the discovery that he hoped he might never see her again. He stamped and stormed a little and in his righteous wrath he spoke some certain truths of the Dunnings. "It is too scandalously bad!" ha wound up. "You might marry her," suggested grouty old Doctor Edwards, who had got the 1 enetit of his son's late re searches. "Have half a mind to," said Bernard. Evidently he had a whole mind to; i for the next day, before the gray dusk was fairly out of the sky, aud louf! before the children were awake, Wealthy, standing weary and alone by the chamber window, found her self clasped tenderly in a pair of strong arms. Lovingly the tall doctor stooped and tenderly kissed the little girl. "Wealthy,"he whispered, "Wealthy look at me, darling! I have some thing to tell you, and I want you to •uswer me a question." Somehow it took a long time; but at the end of the narration, though Wealthy was in a flood of tears, the tired head rested against Doctoi Edward's breast, and with a joy that conld not be told, she answered "yes" to his question. When the Dunnings came back there was a heavy gold ring on Weal thy's hand but Doctor Bernard Ed wards called before they had time to notice it. "I have to apologise for not keep ing my promise of returning to Birch wood, but professional duties prevent ed," he said. "Perhaps, too, I should make excuses for falling iu love with your niece, but that, also, I could not prevent." Aud before they realized what he was doing he had taken Wealthy away and married her, and she had left them forever. Doctor and Mrs. Dnnuing refer to their niece as "My dear Wealthy." Lou does herself, indeed. "My cousin Wealthy," she says, in speak ing of her, "Doctor Edwards' beauti ful wife." But it was a corrective for the Dun nings. They may not be less self centrel—that would bo hardly pos sible—but they are more dißcreet. About 80 per cent, of tlio fishing nets iu Hokkaido, .lapau, aro made of cotton thread.

The attaohment of a court train— mm | \L WEDDING DRESS OF WHITE SATIN. very long and fall—to the wedding dress. The frequent substitution of some clinging fabric, like crepe de chin or veiling, for the classic white satin. The addition of many tiny [frills to che wedding veil, unless this be of sostly lace or an heirloom. The garbing of the maid of honor precisely like the other bridesmaids, even to the color of her bouquet. LAOS AS A MODIsn OABNITUas. The preference for "white" wed dings. At one of the largest weddings that New York has soon this season both bride and bridegroom were of unusual height, the one being more than six feet tall, the other within an inch or two of that stature. There were six bridesmaids, all conspicuously petite, and, whether by design or accident, ;he effect was not unlike that of a marriage of Brobdignagians attended by Liliputs. The dress of the stately bride was )f exqnisite white satin, creamy and 90ft, and with something of the nacre jf a poarl. In cut it was severe. The robe was arranged in a flat plait at the back and descended in a fall train. The bodice was pointed both in front and at the back; it was slightly draped across the bust and rose at the throat in a high collar. At one side was ar ranged a cascade of real lace, which fell, with increasing volume, to the hem of the robe, interrupted here and there by sprays of orango blossoms. The veil was an immense affair of beautiful point d'Alencon, fixed over the head with a wreath of orango flowers. Two DrriuM Worth Careful Study. The rage for lace is simply tremen dous. We can't get enough of it. The more we invest in it, the more the makers strive to render it more at tractive, that we shall be driven to buying still greater quantities. The flounces, too, with their graceful cir cular shapings, are well known, and owned by those who can afford them, as are all the hundred and one small devices in demand for neckwear. In the two dresses shown in the il lustration we see very fetohing intro ductions of this cobwebby fabric. ]n one the sleeves, revers, vest, and bor der for the overskirt and Eton are of creamy Renaissance. The material itself is of satin cloth in a pastel gray, the folds on the bodice being of cream mousseline. The companion figure is distinctly a dress-up affair. It is of old-rose crepe de chine, a very delicate shade, and has a nloatnd skirt: the bodice too, followii out this design until losl under the lace bolero. This bolero, gauntlet sleeves acd the odd band which holds the skirt fullness in shape are all of ecru point de Venise lace. Very gracefully laid folds of old-rose velvet make a most effective ground for the edge of the top of the lace bo lero, and also serve to show off the yoke and stock of finely shirred cream mousseline. The buckle catching the folds is of rose gold set with garnets. A New Texture. An effective material resembles a Shetland shawl of the finest make, woven by the yard, and most gossamer looking. Over satin it is employed for tea gowns, draping most beauti fully, and often interlaced with rib bon. This looks well in white and also in hortensia, the new red. Skirts made in it fall in graceful folds at the back and nearly always display a sash or one long end. It is also used for boleros over velvet vests, ' rosf velvet being the popular color, and mostly worn with a velvet hat of a slightly darker shade, closely stitched all over, raised on one side with a largo red pansy. n.tndnome Tailor Gown. Something quite new in a tailor gown is made of nut-brown cloth. The skirt is bos-pleated all around from the front breadth, which is plain, and trimmed with curved bands of cloth covered with stitching. The blouse worn with this is of pink and brown plaid silk, and the aoat is oi the Eton variety with a belt of brown satin covered with stitohing. StyllftH Belt ISuckleH. Belt buckles covered with suedo in its natural color, and ornamented with steel, jot or turquoise are one of the .lovelties. llrltlal Bouquet*. A cloud of filmy tulle envelops the latest bridal bouquets. Coats For Tailor Suit*. These two new little coats show which way the wind is blowing in a number of respects. There are novel little revers for those who are "tired to death" of the plain coat sort. One, too, has a dip in the front (and to most of us it is "the" becomiug cut), while the other suggests the cutaway. It, as you see, is made to fasten with a fly, the collar and revers being faced with velvet. The material is a semi-heavy tweed. Either rather heavy serge or a mixed tweed is the proper material for the one with jaunty dip. Tho JAUNTY LITTT/E COATS. finish is three rows of heavy stitching either the self color or white. Six buttons serve down the front. The skirt shows a moderate dip in tho hnok. Progress. With time comes progress and advance ment In all lines of successfully conducted enterprises.

It seems that there is a certain wild sheep in Brazil, whose general color is a solid brown, with the exception of a small spot, snow-white, about four inches square, on its breast. The rug in question is made of these white spots, and 225 sheep were killed to provide them. —New York Press. What Shall We Have For Dessert> This question arises in the family daily.
