WHICH KNEW BEST?
Dear old flrnnclma AVelllngtan looked up
over her gold rimmed glasses at Jock, with
a world of loving anxiety jn her blue oyos
sweet, tranquil old eyes, that were as Hue
as when she was a girl of sixteen
' Are you Buro that you have considered
the mutter well thoroughly, my boy ?
Her voico was sweet and nuiet. nnd alio
herself was the daintiest Imaginable Ideal of
a darling old grandma ; slim, trim, always
dressed in black silk and a white Spanish
lace half-hondkcrchlef in winter tlmc,aud a
queen's-gruy silk und a dotted Swiss half-
handkerchief In summer, with puffs of gray
nair, on which lay h tiny cap, and a string
of solid gold heads around her ucck.
And Jack, lounging on the coy cretonne-
covered sofa on the opposito side of the
room, was her special pel and idol of all
her score of grandchildren handsiime.hap
py Jock, who never fulled to make'grand
ma do exactly what he wantad her to do.
.nd just at the ; present moment the
iigliet object of tils, ambition wm to recon
cile Grandma Wolllnglon to his engagement
with Viva Jlnrris, nnd in return fur his
loyer-liko enthusiasm nn the suliject.graiul
ma had laid down the blue silk snekjBlio
was kniting for little Florle, tho latest
grand-baby, nnd looked over her glasses and
put tho question :
" Are you sure you have considered the
niatlter well thoroughly, my boy?"
Jack laughed.
"I have never considered it ntall when it
comes to thot," he said. " I have n firm
conviction that such things are settled by a
destiny too high for poor mortality to con
sider."
"But 'poor mortality' is expected lo suf
fer If experience proves Ihat 'destiny' made
mistake," she said with a little laughing
twinkle in her eye.
Then a grave, - troubled look spread all
over her face. Sho shook her head.
" It would break my heart, Jock, If you
didn't marry a wife every way worthy of
you."
"And you mean you think my little
Viva is unworthy. What do you call a
'good wife,' grandma? I mean one good
enough for mo, you know a first-class, A
1, no mistake."
His splendid blonde head lay lazily on
his foldeifcarms, and he looked with a mis
chievous glance nt tho old lady who resum
ed her knitting serenely.
"I mean a sweet, pretty, happy-naturod,
good-tcmjierrd girl, who will be content in
her hus'iand's love, when there is no pros,
pect of a new dress, or a sealskin sack, and
who can scttlo down resttully to a quiet
country life, and not pine herself uway,
and torment her husband for the follies of
city dissipation ; a girt who is sensible,
economical, not ashamed to do her own
work, If needs be who will save what you
earn, and think herself a queeu among
women because sho is crowned with your
love ami honored with your name.1
" And you do not believe Viva possesses
llioso qualifications."
"How could she, unless you lake excep
Hons to the first essentials ? She is sweet
and pretty, hut what is that in itself? She
is her mother's own child, and (Jroce
Moore, the girl, and Grace Morris, tho wo-
man, was vain, extravagant, idle and a
spendthrift. She rallied her husband 0
nancially.and I solemnly believe drove him
to drink and In death. Like parent, like
cuiid, If they lo jk alike and act alike as
much as Viva and her mother. If you
must get married why don't you marry
Retta ? She's (he stay and support ol the
Morrises, and as good as gold."
Jack could not restrain a little nod of dis.
gust,
" Starry Itctla Storms t Not if she was
an angel I I don't like her for a cent,
grandma only I know you detest slang.
No, ma'am; love goes where it is sent, and
It's little blsck-eyrd Viva or nobody and
I don't think it'll bo nobody."
Grandma laid her knitting down again,
and looked, anxiouily, thoughtfully, out of
the window at the gorgeous snow-white
wisteria blooms twitting around the niaua
trellis.
" I ara sorry, Jack sorry area if the
Morrises are your jwor, dear grandpa's rela
tives." "I am afraid Ton areprejudiced'Jack said
gently, in bis irresistible, pleading way.
"Viva Is at Indubious as a 1 1 Ilia bee,
grandma. She gives music lessons and
n'Ul ,",00,, "'1
w'k for the stores at odd momenta.
"And spend, .very cent ah. ,
teaches la the night schools and does fancy
drtst, and makea poor Retta sweat over the

.. 00 P,,tnc "1Ul
Live and Let Live."
" You aro prejudiced, grandma," ho rolt-
eraled convincingly. " I know Viva wears
out all the old garments there are, and be
cause sho Is lasly and stylish, you accuse
her ol extravagance. She'd wear anything
respectable lo save a dollar, and I honor
her for It. And it's more than Retta
would do; she'd slay at homo forever
first."
0 rami ma smiled -a bright, sudden
smile.
" You've put a brilliant Idea In my old
head, Jack, 1 shall make It my business to
prove the assertion you have made. You
say Viva would do one thing. I say she
wouldn't. You say 'Retta would do one
thing; I am sure (o tho contrary. I'll send
them each a dress rcspcctihle, sensible
dresaet, old-fashioned and pretty that 1
wore fifty years ago. They cau be remade,
and, although uol In the fashion of to-day,

"Well, we'll see," Grandma Welllnclou

"Only think of It I Was there ever such

Viva Morris certainly was sweet and
pretty enough lo havo won Jack Wollln,
ton s heart, or any other masculine's. She
was petite, with lovely dark eyes, and lux
urious brown hair, and a rare pale complex
ion, liko a roseleaf, with no tint or color on
its pure pallor, and a little passionate
mouth, os red and luscious as ripe straw
berries, back or which the white teeth flash
ed enehnntlngly.
Mrs. Morris, In the easiest chair tho little

Viva hastily brought the scissors and
nipped the thick siring, while Retta read
the letter accompanying it aloud :
"My dear great-grandnleces," it said, "I
take the liberty and plcnsuro of sending you

And then tho Inner paper was removed,
and Mrs. Morris gavo a shriek of horror
that would havo done justice to the occasion
if the parcel had contained human bones.
"Her old, worn out dresses I" she gasped,
hysterically.
' "Second-hand, horrird old things, that a
beggar wouldn't wear!" Retta cried, In vex-

pretty face, lifted up the nualnt garments.

"They aro as old-fashioned as tho hills.
but they're pretty, anyhow," she said, the
ismoy in her voico almost concealed by
her brave determination to make the best
of it. "Really, if there was to be a masquer
ade now, this funny plaid silk, marked Ret
ta Storms wouldn't bo so bad."
"But there Is to bo no masquerade, and
old Mrs. Wellington needn't think I'd make
guy of myself by wearing her cast-off
clothes. I'd rather do up your suits all tbo
week, at the seventy-five cents apiece you
pay me, than be disgraced by such a toilet
as that would make."
Retta wts bitterly Indignant, and Mrs,
Morris scarcely less so.
"It's old Grandmother Wellington over
again," she said, with what she supposed
was une contempt. "Rich and stingy I I
wouldn't marry into that family again no,
not for all they're worth 1 And you'll be
sorry for it some day, when Jack develops
mo imniiy meanness."
"I'll risk all Jack's meanness," Viva said,
coolly j "and in the meantime I think I see
a very pretty dress for myself in this lovely
pink and silver-threaded barego. It's so
awfully old-fashioned, I shall make-believe
It s new just out. I'll rip it up and make
It over, and put some pink satin bows urjon
it, and trim my rustle straw gypsy with a
wreatn of wild-brier to match in color."
Retta elevated her nose haughtily.
"And be an old-fashioned thine, after all.
Mrsi Judge Mivart and old Miss Spenser
are sure to be at the lawn party, and they'd
recognire the dress, for the old lady Welling
ton ana they were girls together. Fanev
Algernon Mivart hearing his grandmother
say i was In one of her cast-off dresses! I'll
sell the horrid old dud to the second-hand
woman and buy enough lace bunting for a
new polonaise."
Viva held her little dusky head lo one
side, like a reflective bird, and scanned the
objectionable silk.
"I wouldn't, If I were you, Retta. The
pla'd is very unobtrusive almost a check ;
and your most becoming shades lemon and
blue. Let mo fix it up for vou. when I d

"Don't talk such nonsense. I tell you I
wouldn't have Al. Mivart know it for all
the world."
Nor would she be persuaded. The very
same day she sent for the one "old clothes"
woman in the place and drove the sharpest
bargain possible, receiving enough to buy a
cheap, showy, cream-lace bunting; while

While Grandma Wellington, and stalely

Atlantic Citv, July 28. Ten years ogu.
Charles Voysey was the confidential clerk of
one of Philadelphia merchant princes. He
was steady, honest and Industrious, inclined
lo piety, but as poor os a church mouse. His
employer was proud, haughty Imperious,
but he could druw his check for a million,
and the bank cashier would merely say :
"How will you have it?"
Once every week, sometimes oflener.espe-
ciailly if she wanted tho needful for some
trinkets or gewgaws, the merchant's dauglf!
ter paid a visit to tho private office back of
the counting houso. She was sweet sixteen,
buxom in form, fair in complexion and win
some in manner. In the eyes of herparent
she was more precious than gold, for she was
an only child and bereft of a mother's tender
care, and he was nover happier than when
stroking the ringlets which fell over her
shoulders, and listening ' to her rippling
laugh. Uy and by he noticed that Iiis darl
ing's visits to the office became less' few and
far between. At first this fact did not strike
him as having ony particular signifi
cance, but when she began to " drop in "
every afternoon Ills suspicions were aroused.
Ono day when ho returned rather suddenly
from a rjdo up town he found the pious clerk
and the buxom dumsol engaged in confi
dential talk, without room enough between
their two chairs to run a pin through. The
explosion which followed Is remembered by
the other clerks tn this day. Madanioicelle
was sent home with Instructions to stay there
for the future, whilo the confused employee
was soundly berated for his presumption and
audacity. " This," thought paterfamilias
when he cooled down, "will bo the end of
it " But for onco the level-headed man of
business was mistaken. Less than a week
later, while taking a ramble through tli
wooded grounds which adjoined his elegant
Germantown home, he canto upon the poll
in much the same stlitudo as bo hid see
them in bef.irc,only that tho green sward took
the place of chairs. Neither knew of his
presence until the presumptuous clerk ro
coived a sudden and unromanticapplication
of boot leather. Then there was a yell,
girl's shrill shriek, and the fainting damsel
was hastily carried to tho houso by her
father while tha nonplussed swain rubbcil
his baso and hastened away in the nppo
site direction. Six days later the daughter
was on the ocean, booked for several years
residence In Tarls, while her adoror, with
month's salary in his pocket, was enjoying
the luxuries which can be found in au emi
grant train bound for the west.
Last Wednesday a week the name"Cbarles
Voysey" ws inscribed in a round, bold
hand ou the register of ono of our most select
hotels, and a couplo of magnificent bays, a
similar number of grays, an elegant drag
and an equally handsome iihiclon were
lodged at a neighboring livery stablo under
tbo same name. When Iho same evening
one of the teams with a liveried servant in
front, and a "tiger" beiiir.d drew up in front
of the piazza, and the owner stepping in
took the lines, the gossips of the hotel were
all agog.
"Who Is he?" they asked ,and the question
was taken up by tho folks who watched the
attractive turn-out as it went up and down
Pacinc avenue. Nobody could answer,how-
ever, until the story came from the servants
quarters, where the footman bad been mak
ing love to the colored servant, that tho
stranger was a wealthy Californian, with a
big sheep farm, hundreds of acres f vine
yards, and any amount of real estate in the
Golden City of the Pacific; coast. v
A few evenings ago, just as the sun was
going down in the cIouds,whllo the new ar
rival was stolling along an unfrequented
portion of the beach, bis attention was at
tracted to the graceful movements of
swimmer, who was enjoying the water some
little distance from the shore, (This, it may
be observed in parenthises, is no unusual
occurrence in the eycuing this season.) Sud
denly the faint cry ot a women was borue
over the breaker, and at the same moment
the swimmer threw up her annsnd a huge
breaker hid her from sight. To kick olThls
shocsjlhrow off his coat and plunge into the
surf took the stranger but a moment. A
minute or two later his strong arms were
bearing the exhausted woman to the dry
sand. As he laid her down upon the beseh
her eyes opeued and met those of her pre
server.
"Charlie!"
"Nellie!"
The exclamations came in one breath.nid
the recognition was complete. The double
trial,bowever,was too great for her strength.
and she bad barely managed to whisper
the name of the hotel at which she
was stopping when she fainted awaw, A
carriage was procured, and sho was quietly i
taken to her home, sb quietly that not half
a dozen persons outside of the doctor, coach
driver and the principals knew anything of ,
the occurrence. The next morning, hfore

With a flushed face the ludy lurncdton

"She has some fine manners certainly,'
soliloquized the gentleman addressed, as he
watched her retreating form. "Left them
at home, I guess."
Tho next morning as ho emerged from
the breakfast room two men confronted him.
"Mr. , I believe ?" said the stouter of
the pair.
Tho gentleman bowed acquiescence.
"I want an apology from you," went on
tho other, fiercely, as his hand moved ner
vously under the back of his coat, whore the
lip or a cowhide could just bo seen.
"An apology I For what?" coolly asked
tbe gentleman.
"For your Insult lo my sister."
"Your sister ? Who is she ?"
"There she sits," responded tho brother,
still more fiercely, (is he pointed through tho
dining-room window to the young lady who
had asked the question the night before.
"Why. I hayo only spoken to her but
onco "
"And that was ?" interrogated the brother.
"Lost night when she asked me tho natno
of tho waltz"
"And you said to her"
"Pretty Darling Puss."
"Do yon consider that a proper way to ad
dress a lady ?" demanded the brother as ho
withdrew tho cowhide from Its lifting placo
! or an answer the gentleman burst into'n
loud guflaw.
Angered beyond measure, tho brnlhor was
about to apply the cowhide when his victim
caught his arm.
"Can't you see Ihc joke ?" ho asked ; "that
was the name ot tho waltz."
"What wns ?" replied tho hrpther.
"Why, 'Pretty Darling Tuss.' If you
don't bellevo It come and aik tho musical
director."
The cowhide was suddduly put up. and
the two wen t in search of tho musical man.
Flvo minutes later a wine card went into
tho bar, and four bottles of champagno came
out. The "injured" brother stood the treat,
and the man who barely escaped n rawhid-
ing is now his sister's regular escort.

body would ride after such horses iu Amor
ira if they were paid for doing so, I am

very heavy wheels, holding four persons
besides tho driver, and I have seen four
trunks piled on the coachman's box. One

ana small that Mr. Ilergh would condemn
every one of them. Fivo persons ride ho

On my first drive in Europe the horse fell
and lay helpless and hurt. A great crowd
collected, not because of the horse, for that
was no unusual sight, but because of me,
for nobody but myself seemed lo havo a
thought or an inclination to coax the poor
thing to rise, nnd so I grew very conspic
uous, and when it got on its feet it got a se
vere cut from tlio whip to odd to its other
wounds, and of course I grew indignant,
adding another peculiarity to the long list
.attributed to American ladies.

Tbe Japanese method of keeping meat

on it boiling water, whereby the albumen on
the surface Is quickly coagulated, and forms
