TO preserve the richness of color or delicacy of tint of your sum
mer dresses, make suds of hot water and Ivory Soap, allow to
cool until lukewarm, then wash your dresses in the solution. Ordi
nary soaps contain too much alkali, which in a short time bleaches
the color and destroys its beauty. I'rof. Silliman, of Yale College,
says, "The Ivory Soap can not injure the most delicate fabric."
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "Just as good as the 1 Ivory' "
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the petdliar and remirkable qualities
of the genuine. Ask for "ivory" Soap and insist upon pelti'1" !(

ONE LOVE OF HI8 LIFE.
An old ccntlomno, loatiiricr forward
with bis liaads ulaspod over n uold
headed banc, wan eoated iu a Runimor
honeo piluatcd upon tho groanda of a
lintel at a tanhionablo wntcrinu nlaco.
Ho wai in a comer hidden hy droopiriff
vlno, and his face oxprosRed deep and
apparently painful tliotij'lit. Tho ro-
Irftui ot his lad musing was :
"Only ono person in tho whole world
lo, lovo me, and I shall loso oven that
lovo nowl"
Un tho other sido ol tho summer
bouso, divided from tho s'ulo tho old
gontleman occupied hy a rustic parti
tion, two ladies young and (air, rustl
cd in, and taking out somo fanuy
work, settled down for a chat.
One was tall and dressed in a pretty
costume, that was at onco youthful
and matronly; tho other was petito,
blonde, nnd not more than eighteen.
Mi 8 Courtland spoko first.
"Embroidery, Aliccl'' (ho said. "A
handkerchief corner. For .your trous
seau!" "Yes," and tho sweet voice faltered,
while n burning blush crimsoned tho
fair cheek. '"Is it not pretty?"
"Very. 1 want to talk about your
prospects, child. Your aunt Marcia
tells mo you aro making a splendid
match.
"Did shot I think so, Blanche,
Malcolm is so noblo and good and 8
true Christian!'
"But yonr aunt tells mo ho is tho
favorito nephew of tho great oil me.
chant, Hiram' Bates, whoso wealth is
something enormous. You have only
to help him play his cards well, and
ho will probably ho heir to n magnifi
cent iortune. liut what ails yottT
xou look aB if 1 was telling you
pieoo of nows."
"1 inink aunt Alnrcia has boon mis
informed, that is all.''
"Then ho is not Hiram Bates' no
phew? "I never heard .himfspoak of a rich
uncle, aiul'I-am lliilto sure ho has uo
hoip of inhcritinir money. IIu has
good snlaTy, and my little fortuno will
ouy aim iiirnish a small boutc, so wo
can make a comfortable, and, I hope, a
nappy tiome.
"Did ho never speak to yon of his
uncle!"
"Not of a rich ancle. He has told
mo tf a lame uncle, his mother's broth
er, who has boon very kind to hira,
given mm his vduoalion.Tind a start in
business. Ho always talks of him
with tho deepest, love. and pity."
"Pily I"
"Ho Buffers tortures from the effects
of a fall that has lamed him for lifo
aim onen causes mm weeks ot agonz-
ing pain. Malcolm tells mo with
tears in his eyes of his fear of losing
this'dearest. friend and kind uncle, and
1 think ho hopes 1 may bo useful
sometimes in nursing him."
"1 wonder it it is tbo samel"
The old man leaning upon the cane
was thinking;
'Can it bo true! Does Malcolm
think so little of my money, that will
bo his, that he has never even mention
ed it to his promised wife! Can it bo
that I shall gain a lovincr, tender
niece, instead of losing my nephew,
wnen Malcolm marries.
Loving his nephew so deeply, ni
ram Bales had felt a keen pain at tho
uews of his betrothal. He had never
seen Alico Hunter, but ho knew alio
had been brought up in a circle of
fabhiou and was tho orphan nicco of
one of society's gayest votaries, Mrs,
Marcia iiavdon. Ho ascertained bv
inquiry that tho young girl had inheri
ted 10,000 from her father and that
her vt inters were spent with her aunt
Marcia; her summers with a maiden
sister of her father: alio was quito a
belle, though only in society oro sen
pon, pretty and accomplished, and the
old man groaned in spirit over bis no
phew's ohoiee.
A belle, and with a head full of
fashionablo frivolity, ho was convinc
d lhat the girl had been ivon by th
prospect of Malcolm's heirship to his
own fortune. Ha had seon in tho fu
turohis iipphow estranged from him
by tho influence of a dressy, ompty
ueaded woman, or, stilt more appal
mg, ins niece-to uo making taise pro
testations of affection, with a bopo -of
winning golden favors.
Whilo bo milled upon tho conversa
tion hn had overheard, tho silvery
voices of his young neighbors still
sounding beside him, thero was a sud
uen crasn, something struck lain upou
the head and ho lost consciousness.
CrieB from thn summer house, from
groups ot people collected in tho
grounds, mo unlit a party of men
speedily to tho spot. Tho rotten
posts supporting tho roof upon ono
side bad given away and tho sido and
roof had fallen in. Mrs. Courtland
and Mies Hunter were buried under
tho fallen timbers, the doorway being
completely blockaded, but wero unin
jured. Not so tho old gentleman, who
had been their unsuspected listener,
Ho was taken out pallid and senseless,
nobody Knew mm. lie had corao
hy tbo morning train, had taken break
fast, but no room, and asked tho hour
lor tho return train. A surcrcon sum
moned as speedily ns possiblo announc
ed a brokon ai in and injury to tho
head, making a likelihood of a long
tedious illness. Tuero was somo am
mated discussion, somo suggestions of
hospital, a search through tho pocket
of the unconscious victim, resulting ii
the discovery of a small sum of monoy,
nut no letters, papers or cards, and Un
ally a desertion of ono and another,
oaoh going his or her way, with tho
comforting reflection :
"It is nono of my business."
But when they had all deserted th
injurud man- tho surgeon, still busv
binding up Ins arm as ho lay upon

Mrs. uourtlatid declared Alico was
outraging the proprieties most dread
fully when tho young girl wont to tho
cotlago and offered her services as
nrso to tho doctor, but Aunt nopliio
silenced comment by moving her be
lodgings from tho hotel to tho quiet
boarding house, and tho doctor found
ho had a valuable assistant.
Alice explained in her auiot, low
oico that her father was ill for nino
months before ho died, and Bbo was
his nurse. This accounted for tho
noiseless woolen dresses, tho velvet shod
feet, tho quick eyo and ready band,
and when tho sufforor recovered con
sciousness, the gcntlo voico and tact
that quieted him in paroxysms of pain
md fovcr. Aunt Sophy was too much
of an invalid herself to help, but sho
sat beside tho bed whilo Alico moved
to and fro, mado dainty soups and
tempting dishes, and performed all
nursing duties.
Tho invalid had ono Ions talk with
tho doctor and then submitted to tho
gentlo ministration of tho two women,
only insisting upon a man tho doctor
provided being with him at night and
within call.
Tho season was over, and only'theso
three remained of tho summer boarders
at tho littlo cottage, when ono cool
October day the sick man, now fast
recflvcring, called Alico to him.
I shall soon be well again, ho said,
regretfully.

She mado no answer, looking soriow-
fully into his uplifted eyes.
"And a burden upon you, the doctor
tells me. Why did you mako yourself
responsible for a stranger!"
Uio fair laco Hushed, tuo solt eyes
were 'dewy with feeling asAlico said
softly :
Because vou aro old and seemed
poor and friendless. I was glad it was

with a generous desire to lighten tho
burden ot obligation. "1 havo somo

Mho cirl loosened a little locket from
a chain round her throat, cut oil ono
of her golden curls and put in tho place
ot some hair sho took out, and laid tho
trinket m tho old man s hand.
"With my love," she said softly.

Three davs later tho littlo cottarro
was deserted. Aunt Sophy and Alice
returned to their homo to mako up for
lost time in dress making aud sewing,
and Alico cheerfully paid out of her
small patrimony for tho board and ex
penses ot her venerable patient.
she littlo guessed how deep an im
pression ber caro and tenderness bad

against human affection, so distrustful
of any advances from his fellow creat

active charity to an utter stranger. IIu

Ho had intended meetinir Alice, if
possible, unknown and watching her

them together in a way he littlo anlici
pated. Tho first use ho made of hi
recovery was to writo to his nephow
and Malcom met him at tbo depot
wi.en no returno l tiome.
Knowing nothing of the recent acci
dont, tho young man was shoukod at

" ou havo hoi n ill!" he cried.
"Very ill."
"Why did you not send for me?''

cordial greeting. A grand wedding

Wondering, but obedient, Alico was

was opened to usher her into a stylish
drawing room, whero a centloman
awaited her, and Malcolm advaucing
xtiiu;
"My undo Hiram, Alice.''
Kindly bluo eyes looked iuto her

"My lovo for Malcolm can bear

but, sir, our homo needs you. You

"Gladly, child, gladly!" tho old man

So, whero the rich lonely mau had
feared to loso the ono lovo of his life,
ho gained another tenderer, sweotor

a daughter's dovotion and affection.
