the ij.sm.u aita-Tixoon, an. I sat down with
her in the bi armchair beioru thu d.ini
in flames.
"It's like J.iU'e Ped Hiding Hood and

h r baby voi. e, with a no 1 at )i-r scarlet
t-lo.ik drying before the lire; and then
looldui up into Miss Patienc-'s fact?, as
she sat on her lap, " iran'inain na, what
Ifi-cat eyes you've pot! What makes
them so bi and so .jueer? Nofah hasn't

I Hie. had put up her lip with a pitiful

the two p iirs of brown eves were so won
derfully a!ik ; that each s"ee:ued to be th-;

P.ut tins small critic had not tinh'

"Vo'i've st a cap like Ncrsth. ouly

Nobody had heard him come in, but
there he was.
Jalias took hij presence &s a matter of

-Now would it, papa?" she sai J ajrain
ins stently.
Mr. 1'ernnson came forwsrl.
"1 ln your pardon lor entering with

All the color flew back to her pale

She pressed her can t kiss -a .on the

played with tho nreat blue spectacles on

and thriliinn voices around her.
"I left th chil 1," she answered him,
"because I knew I could leave her at least
with you. An I it was better lor her;

''Tiiat niht" she went on. trv-inn to

"Pell ! And I was so sure vou had not

"An 1 you could condemn me so titter

"What could be the good of that or
of this V" she answered brokenly. "Vou
never denied that marriage certificate ; I
could see as much in your stricken face,
before I crept itiit at the library window
on the terrace, where 1 had fallen asleep
am o:in the curtains, when y'uii and she
came in there, oh, I never thought
vou ihcant it, Harold: No doubt you
ha't married her loan before, when you
were so voting you hardly knew what
yo'i were doing an t you thought tin
woman wasde.il. No doubt it was all
her fault, the tlie mistake ; she looked
a cruel and wicked woman. Put what

the (ira-ss is always male high to the

the elbows, au 1 the bride does not,
therefore, run the risk of cabbing a
severe cold on her wedding-day. The
bridesmaids, too, are now allowed a
choice, not oniy of material, but of color
for their costumes; and velvet and
piush, and even fur, enter largely, during
cold weather, into th.; attire worn by the
bride's oevy oi fair attendants. Plaek is
no longer condemned at weddings ; o:ten
black velvet is worn by the bride's
mother, and even by youii'cr members

Couldn't IJaitlier With a Drummer.
llecently I was awaiting the conven
ience ot one of these "'aristocrats' whose
store is in a small inland town in the
state. While 1 was patiently putting in
my time on a cenvenient chair a gentle
man, carrying two grips similar to those
used by drummers, -entered with a business-like
air, and putting his baggatjo
upon the floor began to make a minute
inspection of the contents of the show
cases. The autocrat was arranging his
window, and now and then casting an
interested glance into a dressmaker's
work room opposite. He paid ne atten
tion to tbe new arrival, supposing him,
as he afterwar 1 tearfully remarked, to be
"only a di uujiiicr." The stranger glanced
at Liui several times, and was plainly
growing impatient. Finally he evidently
decided that ho had waited lonn enough,
and with a muttered exclamation that he
couldn't buy anything if he wasn't shown
;im tiling, he seized Lis grips and van
ished through the door before Ihe aston
ished jeweler could recover his scattered
senses.
They were still more widely scattered
a few days afterward when he learned
that his competitor, a few blocks away,
had sold the stranger a pair of diamond
earrings and a two-carat ttud. Now
when a drummer conies into his store
tha nutocrat s obsequious manners al
most make his visitor's hair stand on end
in astonishment.
