“A WOMAN'SLOYVE."
“1 can’t imagine, Estelle, how you
came to be so decidedly plain; beauty is
rather a characteristic of our family.”
[Tere Mare Darcy glanced with a satis-
fied air at lds handsome face reflected
in an opposite mirror, while a slight
flush arose tothe dark, almost swarthy,
cheek of the young girl seated vis-a-vis

hands trembled slightly as they sought
to continue the work they were occu-
pied with.

“Yes, Lam like my father. He was
not handsome, but so noble, so good.
Iwas so proud of lum, Inpever thought
about his looks. 1 am sorry, more for
your sake than mine, that 1 am not
beautiful. Your wife should be, but
Marc——" with a quick, impulsive
motion, the young girl bent down be-
side her betrothed and laid her dips ca-
ressingly to his hand, adding:
“Fou will not love me the less?
You who are so handsome, who could
have chosen from so many, yet asked
me to be your wife. You are all the
world to me, Marc. No one could
love you more than 1.”
With rather an uneasy laugh, Mac
Darcy, placing his arm about his com-
panion, replied:
“Tears. Estelle? Why, what kas

strike me that it was rather strange

the women in our family, but thea you

eyes and good teeth—no small item

wy dear.”
A pleased cok crossed Estelle’s face
at the last words of her intended, and
twining both arms about his neck «he
said:
“* And you don’t mind it 50 very much
if I am plain? You will always love
me?”
“+f course 1 shall,” came the reply,
as Mare kissed her lightly on the fore-
head, adding, half laughingly:
“Perhaps, Estelle, 1 shall put yeur
love to the test some day. Will it {ail
;me, I wonder?”
Raising her head from its resting
place upon Marc’s shoulder, Estelle’s
eyes sought his.
There was a strange intensity «dn
their dark depths and she answeged
slowly, as if weighing each word:
“1. do not think you quite understaad
me, or my love for you, Mare. It is
as the breath of my life; vet if ever
came to believe that it was for your
happicess for me to give you up, {
would do so at any cost to myself.”
Before Mare could reply, Estelle had
passed quickly from the room. .

Estelle was a passionate admirer’ of
beauty, and, almost ere she was con-
scious of it, she loved Mare with her
whole soul, and Mare at his mother’s
instigations had carelessly drifted into
the situation of Estelle’s lover.
Of too noblé a nature to see aught
but the good in others, Estelie never
dreamed that it might be her money,
and not herself, that had induced Marc
to choose her for his wife, Some few
weeks after the opening of our story
found Mrs. Darcy and Estelle seated
at breakfast, Marc had run up to town
for a day or two, As Estelle returned
a letter she had just been reading to its
envelope, Mrs. Darcy remarked ;
From your triend, is it not, dear?”
Does she say when we may expect
her?’
“ Yes, she writes we may look for
her to-morrow, by the 2:40 train, Oh!

me—it was only my money,’’ seemed to
stab itself into her heart,
Fighting with her despair, the strick-
en woman cried out, unselfish even in
her agony:
“Mare! Mare! my husband!
make you happy if'1 could!”
They were nearing their journey’s
end, and Mare had perceived no differ-
ence in his wife. His thoughts were
elsewhere. Had they nof been he
would have seen how pale and thin she
had grown, and that never of her own
accorfl did ber lips caress him,
Then came the night when they were
startled from their sleep by the cry of
danger, ‘
Women shrieked and clapsed their
little ones to their breasts, while men,
white to the lips, hurried on deck to be
driven back by the wild flerceness of
the storig. Waves like gigantic moun-
tains hurled themselves against the
ship, under which she staggersd and
reeled and righted herself again, only
to be struck down anew. :
Valiantly the good boat fought her
fight against the deep. Mast after

We will try and make it very pleasant
for her, won't we, aunt?”
“Of course, my dear,” answered
Mrs, Darcy. -* I always wish to make
my guests happy and comfortable,”
and thus the subject was dismissed for
then.
The following week Marc arrived
one afternoon at home. In his care-
less manner, he had omitted to send
word of his return; consequently Murs,
Darcy and Estelle were out, returning
calls.
Learning this from one of the serv-
ants, Marc made his way to the west
drawing-room, the coziest room in the
house, Opening the door, he stood
transfixed upon its threshold, A young
girl was reclining, fast asleep, on the
One dimpled arm, bare to the elbow,
while one tiny hand rested under the
baby chin. Soft, floss-like hair curled
in golden rings about the white fore-
head and fair neck.
With an exclamation of surprise,
Mare turned to go; at which a pair of
bewildered blue eves opened and gazed
had sprung a leak. All night the men
| worked at the pumps, cheered by their
{ brave captain, who told them they must
{ be close to the Dover cliffs, and they
might yet all reach the shore in safety.
Inez clung trembling to Mare, while
Estelle, calm and collected, moved
about amongst the women, helping
with a ready hand.
Little children grew quiet at her
touch, and wmathers ceased to bewail
their fale,
Mare never forgot the pale graudeur
of his wife's face as she passed to and
fro amongst all the confusion
Towards dawn the storm abated
somewhat, but a dense fog enveloped
them like a shroud,
{ At last the order was given to man

frightened children were quickly lifted
over the ship's side; while warm-hearted
sailors bade them cheer up, for land

questioningly at him. Then hastily
springing from her recumbent position,
the young girl stood blushing before
him.
As Marc made his apologies, she
terrupled with :
“Oh! I know. You are the gentle-
man Estelle is engaged to; then I don’t
mind. It’s pot so bad as if you had
been astranger. How you scared me,’
Here one little dimple, then another,
crept forth, till a merry peal of laugh-
ter rippled through the room, in which
Mure joined.
When Mrs, Darey and Estelle
turned they found Inez, for it was she,
and Mare chatting away like old friends,
In spite of Inez’s recent loss, which
dated only two months back, her child-
ish, mirth-loving nature could take no
hold of sorrow. Her tears were like

ing-echool. Mr. Cline had been a self
ish, pleasure-loving man, who took but
hittie thought of his motherless child;
lived close up to his iocome, leaving
Inez penniless at Lis death,
she owed to Estelle’s generosity.
The weeks slipped by, and still Inez
remained a guest at Sunnyside, At
first she talked a good deal of going
out asgoverness, but later on she ceased
to do so.
Somehow Estelle and Mare were very
seldom alone these days. Inez, with
her pretty, helpless ways, contrived to
monopolize a great deal of Marc's time,
Yet Estelle was pleased that it should
be so.
In her noble heart there was no room
for jealousy. No thought that Inez,
with her saucy, kittenish ways, might
win her lover from her. Her faith and
trust in Mare were perfect.
The wedding day drew nigh. Inez
was to be bridesmaid, and then Es-
telle with her warm impulsive nature
had proposed that she should accom-
pary them to Europe on their bridal
tour, and Inez had clapped her hands
like a cehild, exclaiming:
“Oh, if I only could! How I should
like it!” Mrs, Darcy, wisor than the
rest, perhaps, had judged it best for
Inez to remain with her; but Inez had
pouted and come as near showing
temper as such a weak little creature
could, and had gained her way.
It was decided that she should
company the bridal pair,
Marc and Estelle were man and wife,
and the steamer was bearing them on
teward England's shores. Inez, too
sick to move and wishing herself Lack
on land, was in her state-room, with
ever thoughtful Estelle tending and
petting her, rewarding ber busband
with a fond smile whenever he came
to inquire after the sick girl, How
good of him, Estelle thought, when he
so disliked the sight of sickness or
anything unpleasant,
It wie Mare who carried Inez on
deck aud arranged the ruge and pil
lows, bearing with her whisas when
Estelle grew almost indignant at her
friend's peevishness toward her hus-
band. .
One evening Estelle, suffering from
a severe headache, retired early to her
state-room, but finding the air below
very close she seturned to the deck.

drew near the wheel-house, Suddenly

Alone! no, not quite. Something
touched her hand. It was Carlo, ber

and bade him go; but be only whined
and licked her hand. Then Estelle

beach by eager, willing bands, the

Darcy learned too late the value of a
true woman's love.

water, a draught from this sweet well
in the wilderness seemed, in his simple
mind, a fit present to the Caliph, So
he filled the leathern bottle, and, after
a weary tramp, laid his gift at his
sovereign's feet, The monarch called
for a cup and drank freely, and then
with a smile, thanked the Arab, and
presented lnm with a magnificent
reward. The courtiers pressed eagerly
around for adraught of the wonderful
water which was regarded as worth
such a princely acknowledment To
their surprise, the Caliph forbade them
go touch a drop, Then, after the
simple<hearted giver left the roval
presence, with a new spring of joy
welling up in his heart, the monarch
explained his motive of prohibition,
“During the long journey the water in
his leathern bottle had become impure
and distasteful; but it was an offeri
of love, and as such I accepted it wi
pleasure, I feared, liowever, that if I
allowed another to taste it he would
not conceal his disgust. Therefore it
was that 1 forbade you to partake, lest

Tenth commandment when I have seen
the beautiful, well-ordered homes of
my frienas, where every department
seemed complete and filled with all that
could be desired for health, comfort and
beauty,” There are thousands of la-
dies with the same longings, and who,
if they have an extra five dollars, would
much rather spend it for home decora~
tion than on dress for themselves, It
is possible with limited income to
make a very modest home more at-
tractive than a much richer one, and
its influence on the family, especially
upon children, cannot be estimated.
Such a home does more to form the
character for good than the teachings
or discipline of parents, We would like
occasionally to help those trying to
make pleasant, cheery homes, who have
not the means to employ a professional
decorator, but whose own heads and
hands must design and do all, For
their comforts we would say: A home
where the furnishing of each room has
been thought olt, and perhaps worked
out by mother and daughters, has a
value to father and sons far beyond one
committed to some stranger to ‘‘fur-
nish throughout as stylish as possible,”
at any cost, Its influence does not
cease when it is broken up, but reaches
down through generations in other
homes,
Harmony of color is of the first im-
portance in furnishing. Not that car-
pet, walls, curtains, chairs, ete,, should
be of the same color; that would make
a room cold and uninviting. There
should be two or three colors in a room
but these should barmouize., If one is
conscious that she has no eye for color,
she should consult some one of known
taste before purchasing articles which,
although by themselves might be desir-
able, would perhaps if placed with
others spoil the effect of the whole,
and be a disappointment to be endured
for years, A carpet, for instance,
should not be purchased without con-
sidering what the color of the pant is;
Land of the sofge and chairs, if
they upholstered. A carpet is
like background of a picture;
it brings effect the whole.
Styles for earpets have entirely changed
within a few years, Patterns of huge
bouquets of impossible flowers used to
be seen almost everywhere; now a
very small, set figure, so small as-w
look almost like a plain color at a little
distance, is in much better taste. This
may be enlivened by a border of bright
The lovely pearl and gray
grounds, with vines or tracery of a
darker shade, and bright borders of
Perstan patterns are very desirable and
look well with almost evervthing, The
fashion of staining floors black-walnut
color for a yard or more around the
walls, and having a square of bordered
carpet in the center, is gaining ground
and much liked for the pretty style and
the convenience of taking it up for
cleaning. There are now plain, ingrain
carpetings, in solid colors, called *“'&l-
which are used around these
rugs, instead of staining the
floor. We have seen parlors carpeted
with dark, turqueise-biue filing, with
Persian rugs over them, not in any set
or regular order, The effect was very
good,
Curtains are a very important part of
furnishing, Of course there must be
shades. There ought to be doapery,
however simple; no one thing adds
more to the pleasant cheery look of a
room. Shades are now rarely white,
but tinted, either gray, cream or old
gold color, They should never be of a
very deep shade, Many use red for the
dintog-room, but that color is better
suited to rome public place. A fringe
about two and one-half inches wide fin-
ishes the bottom. For drapery there
are many beautiful and artistic pat-
terns in Nottingham lace, which is
low-priced and durable. They may be
selected to look so like real lace that
they can hardly be distipguished from
it. The xellowish tint should be chosen
and in light patterns. Linen scrim
with inserting and edging of guipure
lace, is always handsome, Simple
cheese cloth, piain or figured muslin, or
cretonne, are all pretty. Heavy fabrics
should be used only in large and richly
furnished rooms, They may be used
with good effect for portieres, to hide
or replace a door, or {o separale rooms,
Heavy lambrequing are pot in style,
Curtains are hung with rings on poles
of bLirass or wood, and the lambrequin,
if any, is straight across, marrow or
broad, embroidered or trimmed with
fringe, or it may be a simple plaiting.
Mantel lambrequins are a plain scarf
across the front, with decorated ends
hanging low. There is often, as a
background for ornaments above the
mantel, a curtain, plain or plated, of
the material of the Iambrequin, about
haif a yard wide, hung upon a rod with
rings. This may be of velvet paper,
beaded by a narrow gilt molding.

The Vigaro,
The Figaro, of Paris, is a mighty
power on the continent ot Europe, Its
earlier years were years of struggle and
poverly, but its profits last year were
over $500,000, No journalhssa bolder,
more talented editorial staff, and no pa-
per is mote widely quoted, praised and
blamed. M. De Villemessant, a born
journalist, was the founder of the Figa-
ro. For along time he was editor-in-
chief, head reporter and business mana
ger of his journal. When he died this
work was parceled out among three men,
Magnard, Perivier and Rodays. To
these three men De Villemessant said
on his dying bed: ‘Always make up the
paper as though you knew I was going
to read it the next morning.” The
placing of this triumvirate at the head
of the Figaro was a wise selection.
Magnard originated the piquant epitome
headed *‘Paris from Day to Day”—a
column made up of many articles con-
densed from the newspapers of the pre.
ceding day. Each paragraph is short,
terse and to the point—the quintessence
of common sense and condensation,

of the writers, M. Wolff, earnsas much
as $15,000 4 year. He is the dramatic

from six to twenty cents a line. The
