Forgotten it? No; and she knew she never should forget it. The dress had been pink gingham, and the flowers some wilty little *Chinese-globe flow- ers’’ that grew in Uncle Joseph's yard, le iv. It had parsonage, jut it had been the happiest summer in ber life. In the face of all the gaie- ties that had followed, Jessie confessed it. She was only seventeen then, and Al- fred Foster was twenty, He had lived next to Uncle Joseph’s—a hard-work- ing farmer's boy, tall, red-headed, browun-faced, and perhaps a little awk- ward. Bat he had fine eyes and a gen- tle voice, and far better manners than her cousins, Bob and Seldon, and they had won their way into Jessie's soft heasl. Had he cared for her? She did not know--only, coming home from the minister's that night, he had been Lesi- tent and stammering. It had seemed as though he was trying to say somne- thing he was half afraid to say; and when he lefe her at the door, he had pressed her hand very hard, and linger- et a litte, And the next week they had come back tothe city, and that had been the end, Well, it had been a boy-and-girl af- fair at the best, and Jessie had tried to forget it. But she had never quite suc- ceedad, And in the depths of her heart she had cherished a faint hope of meeting him again some time, It was not likely, since Uncle Joseph had moved to Dakota, But the thought would come up now and then, BShe was thinking of it, dreamily, when Mrs. Bostwick’s coachman left her at Mrs. Bostwick’s imposing front door, “You look charming!” said Mrs. Bostwick, as she kissed her at the wide parlor door. **You'll captivate all the gentlemen, George sent a college friend, who 18 mm the city temporarily, with a letter of introduction. And he is such a gentleman! T'd have given him over to you for dinner If 1 could have managed it,” They were in the big, bright room, and Jessie had nodded to pretty Miss Bostwick, and stood waiting quietly for futroductions, “Miss Brooks — Mr, Gilman; Mr, Samson—Mr, Foster,” said Mrs, Bost. wick, benignly. And Jessie bowed, But when she raised her eyes, she » stood quite still, quite silent aw mo- tionless, save for her trembling hands Her heart seemed to have bounded un.to her throat, She wondered wheth- er she were not a little insane, or ab- surdly dreaming. It was Alfred Fos- ter himself who had risen to greet her, “Miss Brooks!” he exclaimed, in frank delight, And then Mrs. Bostwick took Mr, Samson’s arm, and Mr, Gilman offered his to Jessie, and Alfred took charge of Eveline Gordon, and Miss Bostwick followed with young Mr. Gordon, and they went in to dinner. Yes, it was Alfred! If she had known ten minutes ago that she should meet him so soon, she would have felt nothing but gladness: but now there was a dreary pin in her heart, a queer sense of loss, It was he—he in a dress-suit, his hands no longer red nor his face brown —quiet, gentlemanly, low-voiced, and certainly the handsomest man at the table. And George's college friend, Of course there was but one explana- tion. Had somebody left him a for- tune? or had they found an oil or gas well on the farm? Jessie wondered, almost miserably, while her soup grew cold. It was something of the sort, surely.

Hot Weather and Nervous Female, In the ladies’ parlor of a big dry goods establishment the energles of the attendant were taxed by three women in hysterics at one and the same time a few afternoons ago. The sudden fall of a pair of scissors had proved too much for the first victim, and the spec- tacle of her writhing and twisting (ig- ure as half a dozen people fumbled at once for smelling salts had overcome the nerves of the other two, It was noticeable that these sympathetic at- tacks were most violent and lasted longer than the seizure which had oc- casioned them, A slender young girl, with a skin that suggested pallor in spite of the flush of heat, looked askance at the tall glass with its long-handled spoon set down in front of her on the confec- tioner’s counter yesterday, “This is chocolate soda; it was hot chocolate that I asked for.” “We don’t keep hot chocolate at this time of year.” “But I bave come ’ three blocks to | There was an odd thrill in her voice, but further utterance was checked by a nervous twitching which seized her fingers and then the muscles about her | mouth and eyes, A burst of something | It 18 no long time since there was a brought about by the momentary peril A brewery wagon had brushed close to the side, knocking a | White with dust he again and look uttering hysteri- | A popular reader whose mission it is to amuse society dropped a poem Eh son because there was nearly always One Wolnal, audience whose nerves were affected by the recital, A chance hp sometiines Several, in her mention of Mansfleld’s Dr, a ladies’ lunch | that of eight w play one did wot sleep at all and two were waked rom sleep by the ‘horrors’ after A yacht owner whose boat commission early had to put the outset of an afternosn’s sail becau his women folk were unmanageable, They imagined he was running down a row boat and could not be persuaded t of their excited mood for fan ft craft was ir ile Was it I ¢ back at hal hour a » tha way oul of the way.

She was sure they would have hiked each other so much —a pretty girl and a nice young man. Why not? She was decidedly provoked, And har provocation gave her courage for a somewhat bold stroke, home with you,”” she whispered to Jessie, as the girl put on her wraps silently at rather an early hour; she had complained of a headache, and she did look pale, “It's a lovely night; it will do your head good, I'm sure,” And Jessie went down the moonlit street a moment later with her flutter ing hand on Alfred Foster's arm. “Did you have a good time, dear?” said grandma, sleepily, rousing from a doze as her grand-daughter entered. “Lovely!” cried Jessie, softly, “Do you know who was there, grandma? Alfred Foster, Do you want to hear about it?” She sat down, with her elbows on grandma's lap, and grandma listened bewilderedly, “I mean,” she said, breathlessly, “that we had a good time coming home; we had a miserable evening. You remember him, don’t you, grand- ma? And I’ve remembered him. But he looked so nice in a dress suit, and Mrs, Bostwick said he was a college friend of George's, and I thought of course he must have got suddenly rich, or something, 1 didn’t know what; but I didn’t suppose he'd look at we, and 1 was just miserable.” She laughed a little happily, “But he's only taking a two years’ medical course-—he always did want to be a doctor--and he’s worked awfully hard for the money, and he says he economizes dreadfully. He's in the city to see about the prospects for set- tling here when he’s through, And the dress suit wasn't his, poor fellow; George Bostwick had made him take his for fear he'd need it. He said he'd meant to hunt me up when he got here, But do you know, that he was afraid of me, too?

Even the charities in which a well regulated woman delights become to the ill-regukated women a source of hysteria, as when a woman who sup. ports two beds in a hospital for a par- ticularly painful diseases burst into a madness of weeping some days since be- cause one of them was empty, Bible readings in parlors by one or two es pecially gifted women filled the rooms in which they were held for months to overflowing. Before they stopped a few weeks ago observers had begun to say that they developed in some um- pressionable girls hysterical dress, walk and demeanor, The violent colors which many women wear this summer, reds, green and yel- lows, are encugh in themselves to sug- gest some emotional strain. There are Jools who say that the woman who does not use cosmetics is pow an exception. This is not true but of the multitude who do paint and caleimine thelr faces the great majority are victims of nerves, is follows as oasily as B after A. Artful beauty means nataral pallor, the result of late commonly mean dirty, clogged skins, which ‘also means nerves, Bleached hair means poison, which means nerves, Oddly enough the pretty loose blouses which all the girls are wearing just HOW mean nerves, Primarily they mean tight belts to contrast with the fullness above, which means tight lac- ing, which means nerves, What ex- cept nerves can you expect of a girl who has to keep a young man in tow to tie her shoe, Lecause with a corset that fits and a gown from her pet coutouriere she can’t stoop within touching dis- tance of it herself? Ieavy gowns and heavy bonnets mean nerves, Out of door exercise itself sometimes means nerves, Jolting in that twisting and racking device of the arch enemy, a side saddle, very often means nerves, The summit of our civilization, a leisure class mostly composed of women, means nerves, Men grow rich that their wives may live a life apart from them, a life whose controlling interests are not of a sort to divert their minds from nerves, and in which reading and study, even without any practical ends, often- er than not breeds fads and fads are closely allied to nerves.
