RUBY'S VISIT, BY HELEN TORItEST GRAVES "Let her come to the farm," said old Mr. Emits. "Shtfll enjoy the blue-bells and the peach orchards, and tho white clover blossoming along tho roadside. It Will bo a great deal cheaper than Newport and more sensible than Cape May." ".Oh, papa, do let me go!" said Euby, clasping hir pink Angers ecstatically to gether. "Mamma, say yes." A year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Aden Arch' cr would have considered this tort of thins as nothing more nor less than banishment. The Misses Archer had never been anywhere else than at Sara- toga, Lonj Branch and Atlantic City. But times were altered now. The "fi nancial pressure," whatever that might be, had acted very unpleasantly on the atmosphere of the Archer household. Euphclla, the eldest daughter, had just discovered that Mr. Fontenoy Favrier,to whom she had engaged herself, was not next heir to an English baronetcy, at all, but a defaulting clerk from Thread needle Street, with half a dozen detec tives after htm; and Alicia, the second blossom of tho family-tree, had been un ceremoniously deserted by Mr. Dallas, of tho I'olo Club. "If a girl aw hasn't got money, you know aw," said Mr. Dallas, "there's no use aw In keeping up the thing. Vq alu'tllke wavens nowadays, to be fed by aw the prophets. We must aw 'have cash." "But, mamma," pleaded Ruby, "you said I was to come out this winter." "Child, don't be absurd," said Mrs. Archer. "I said you should be Intro duced Into society, If Euphy and Alllo were married, but they're not; and I can't go into ball-rooms at the head Of a regiment of daughters. What would people say?" 'It Isn't my fault that they are nof married," pouted Ituby; "and I am so tired of the nursery. Mamma, cau't I go to Atlantic City with you?" "Certainly not!" said Mrs. Archer. "And mind, Rublna, if any one asks you how old you are, you must say six teen." "Why," cried Ruby, with open brown eyes of astonishment. "But I was sev enteen last birthday!" "There's no sense In your growing up so fast!" pronounced Mrs. Archer, Irritably. "How can I help It?" said Ruby, al most ready to cry. "I can't put a stone on my head, can I?" "There are the girls to consider," said Mrs. Archer, sorrowfully. "How are they to bs bettered by my telling lies about my age?" retorted Ruby. And then her mother told her to hold her tongue and not speak again until she was spoken to. So that old Uncle Ennls' offer was truly welcome when it came, and merry little Ruby was like a lamb let loose upon the hills that sloped down to the blue tides of the majestic Connecticut river. She tore her dimpled brown fingers with bUckberry-brlcrs; she rifled birds'- nests for additions to her collection of eggs; sho romped like a child, whistled llko a boy, until all of a sudden sho was recalled to tho facts of real life. Sho had come in from the blackberry fields all sunbrowned and happy, her cherry lips stained with tho purple dye? ot the fruit, to find Uncle Ennls poring Intently oyer a couple of letters. "Well, little one," said he, "what do you think? Here aro two surprises for youl" "Two, uncle?" the cried. "Ono to a picnic-party at the Great Gorge." "Oh, can I go?" exclaimed Ruby, jumping up from her bowl of bread and milk. "Jerome Franklin toll mo that'' "Hold on, lassie hold on.t" said Un do Ennls. "The other M a proposal of marriage. Mr. Dubarry wants ihy sanc tlon and all that sort of thing.", "Mr. Dubarry, Indeed I" said Ruby turning very red. "A stuffy old pro fessor who don't know anything except about the ruins of Pompeii and Hqrcu lancuml" "You don't like hiin.'pet?" "No, Indeed, I don't." ''Then," said Uncle Ennls, indulgent ly, "there Is an end of tho whole thing. Only when my little girl begins to rc cclre offers of jnarriage, It gives me a. queer sort of feeling." Ruby ate her bowl of b'rtad and milk silently. "I wish they wouldn't!" said she. "Some day you'll wish they would," said the old gentleman. And ho laughed so heartily at his Joke that Ruby could not help but laugh also. "But one thing you must mind, my little lass," he added more gravely "let that Jerome Franklin alone." "Why, Uncle Ennls?" said Ruby, carnestiy. "He's a wild fellow," said Mr. Ennls. "These Franklins never any of them came to good yet." "But perhaps he will," said Ruby. "I wouldn't try the experiment If I was you," said Uncle Enn'.s. And just then Ruby looked up and saw. Harry Safford standing In the door way. "1 wonder," she thought, "If he has heard all we have been saying?. I don't llko narry Safford ono bit. He is so prcclso and dignified, and Polly Twitter says he thinks I am a romp. What business has ho to think about tho mat ter ono way or another?" So Ruby rose and went out of the room with tho stateliest step that she could command; and although narry waited till nine o'clock, she never came back. "I wanted to ask her to go with me to the picnic at the Great Gorge," raid Harry to Mr. Ennis. "Doyou thlnkthe will accompany me?" "Well, I don't know," said Uncle Ennls, looking Intently Into the bowl of his pipe. "I rather guess, by what she said, that she calculates to go with Jerome Franklin. Safford's dark face flushed. "Is he a fit associate for her?" he In quired. 'Xo, I don't think ho is. But gals are queer!" reflectively added UecIo Ennls. "Just tell 'cm you want 'em'to go one way, and see how straight tuey'll start in the othcri" Harry Safford went away with heavy heart. One smile would have made him happy and she had not even vouchsafed him that. liut the next morning there came news that Jerome Franklin had disap peared most unexpectedly, and so had a considerable sum out of the safes of Fordycc & Fordyce, in whoso legal chambers he officiated In the capacity of clerk. , And the first thought that flashed in to Harry Safford's mind was: "Now I can ask Ruby Archer to goto the Great Gorge picnic with met" And yet Harry Safford was not more selfish than most men. Just within the cool shadows of the Ennls woods he found Ruby herself, her hat hanging down her back, her tresses all disheveled, her blue eyes drenched in tears. "Why, Ruby!" he cried. "What Is the matter?" "I've lost him!" sobbed Ruby, clasp ing her hands despairingly. "He has gpnel" A sudden chill seemed to gripe poor Harry's heart, nad she then loved his rival so well? Were they actually engaged? "And It's all my on fault, too!' contluucd Ruby, with a fresh burst of tears. ' 'Unclu warned me how It would be. He warned mo against having anything to do with him. But I would have my own way. And now I am rightly punished, He's gone. Jerry has run away!" "Ruby, for heaven's sake do not speak thus! ' said poor Harry. "But I can't help it!" wailed Ruby. "Did you then love blra so well?" bit terly demanded the young man. "Didn't care a snap about Mini" cried Ruby. '.'But uncle told me to let him alone, and I disobeyed. And now he has run away, and what will uncle say? Ob, I do wish the dog-catchers had captured blra before I ever unfastened his chain I" "Ituby," said her amazed lover, "what on earth are you talking about?" "Why, about Jerry, the red Irish set ter, to be sure!" said Ruby. "What should I be talking about?" "Is that all?" said Safford, with great sigh of relief. "Then you may set your heart at rest. Jerry Is safe enough. I passed little Tommy Eaton on the mountain-road, a few minutes ago, bringing him homo with acbafn and a rope. It is of tho other 'Jerry' T am speaking Jerome Franklin. Ho has run away, also, with a lot of money out of Mr. Tordyce's safe." "Has he?" said Ruby, apparently very little Interested In this secondary piece of Information. "Well, I am not at all surprised. I always wondered whero he got the money to pay for so much jewelry. I'm sorry for his poor mother, though. Are you quite sure that Jerry Is safe, Mr. Safford?" "Yes, quite," said Mr. Safford. "And now, Ruby, that yon cannot go to the , t Is ginned and packed. tries In (bo world.

"With whom, then, arts you going?" "With nobody at all," said Ruby, with a charming pout. , "Nobody has asked me."- And sho looked at Harry from under her thickly curling lashes with such a laughing, mischievous glance, that ho promptly followri up his advantage. "Will you go with me, Ruby?" said he. . And Ruby made him a low ourtcsy and answered, demurely: " "Yes. please, sir. Now let us co and Sjnd Jerry I" uncio linnis was uozmg over the .weekly paper ho had 'read It twlco through already, but ho seemed, always to regard himself as devoted to literature when ho fell asleep over tho weekly paper when Ruby came to htm with Harry Safford, leading the red Irish set ter by Its chain. "Oh, uncle, I'm so sorry!" said she, penltcntlally. "I ' am so glad, Mr. Ennls," said Harry. "But I let Jerry out for n run, and ho got away from me, and little Tommy Eaton brought him back; and please, uncle, I'll never disobey you again. But, uncle, that Isn't all!" sho added, rtddcnlng exquisitely. "Eli!" said tho old gentleman. "What next?" "I've promised to marry narry Saf ford." "Hello I" said Mr. Ennls. "But I thought you' disliked narry Safford?" "Oh, nol" cried Ruby, with earnest ness. "Only I was 'afraid ho disliked me! He called mo a romp!" "So I did," confessed Harry Safford, 'But you aro the dearest little romp In f he world, and I love you better than any one ebe in existence!" So Ruby was married to Judgo Saf' ford's son, and the two elder Miss Arch crs were forced to confess that "our lit tle sister" had led off tho marriage minuet with distinguished success. "But only to think," .said Ruby, "of his being jealous of Jerome Franklin! now silly men are, to bo sure I" BPKINQ FASHIONS FROM GODEV'S LADY'S BOOK. Sishes serve to redeem many a plain toilette. -Blouses of gauze, tulle, or lac are worn over low-jlockcd dresses. A pretty fashion for plain-colored woolen dresses, Is to have tho Jacket facln3, plastron, and sash of bright surah. White goods promlso to be very fashionable, no mailer what the mate rial. -Bouquets should always form the fragrant coup to the toilette of all brides maids. - Miny of the cutaway Jacket blouses have th; center of the back laid in plaits form the neck down, v Lovely reman? embroideries are imported for silk and very fine woolen dres3es. Black tulle is covered with a showy jet embroidery for draperies and plas tron, with many pendants from the cen ter of the flowers. Tinsel threads give effect to many of the woolen novelties. Some of the new shapes of straw bonnets look like a hussar's helmet. Long hair-pins, with Ithlne-stone heads, arc showy and fashionable. It is not fashionable now to have one's gowns made uncomfortably tight about the arms and bust. Many, of the newest dresses are made In a style that was popular fifteen years ago. Oxidized jewelry is to be again worn, The new designs In belt buckles and clasps of all kinds aro very hand some. Crape mourning should be of the most quiet style. No display Is permit- teJ, or any attempt at ostentatious af fectation of grief. Seersucker makes ' a very useful everyday washing dress, and may be utilized for traveling In warm weather, as it is cool and stands rough usage. Princess dresses are comlug In again, They are made very much like those fashionable several years ago, with the exception of a loose sort of jacket that U arranged In front. It Is now fashionable for little girls. those ranging iu age from four to eight, ta wear their dresses down to their ankles. When their gowns are made simply, the effect is both modest and charming. .THE BRIDE OF A TAB.

"Good ovenlng, sir," said," tald a woman whose face looked llko a boiled salmon, with a plck-axo nose and a voice that sounded like a far-away echo from the housetops, as she adrcsscd a young man who trembled as he viewed her red hatr-And stern visage, "What I want to see you for, Is to ask you If you are an Odd Fellow that Is, do you be long up yonder?" and sho nodded her head toward a building .from which ho had just emerged. Ho meekly replied, "I do, madam." "Well," said said, "my man says he Is one of you, and I want you to tell mo If he Is an Inside watchman, and has ho been appointed for 300 nights to watch tho jewels? And do you have six meet ings a week? And does ho havo to crawl through some of them In the day time, and lose a day's work trying to be a noddlo grand, or a past grand bugler, or a past bugler, or some such name ho tells me of?1' The young man said that- she must havo been mlsformed, that thero was something wrong; but she Interrupted him with, "There' you nesdn't try to play smarts. I understand all about this grip business, and silent secrecy and mum password, and you can't fool mel You wouldn't tell me anything for a Seekonk, would you? I don't suppose you would tell me when my husband come3 homo with a hairpin in his boots and a lady's collar on instead of his own. whether he'd been taking a Rebekah decree or been at a surprise party? Ob, nol you're innocent, you arc!" The young Odd Fellow ventured to remark that ho did not really understand the drift of the Inquiry. "On, no, I see It Is no use, you'ro all in for each other and sworn to secrecy, and you'd say the hroken earring I found in bis pocket belonged to you, wouldn't you? And if I should ask you who Aramlnta is that I caught him talking to himself about you'd say it was tho 'goat' jou pretended to ride; and it I should ask you about this muttering I hear of 'I pass' 'order It up 'set 'em up and givo me another hot one,' and all that sort of thing, I suppose you'd say It was all connected with your htf alutln degrees and necessary to the order." Tho young man meekly replied, as be tried to move away, that he was In a hurry; that perhaps Brother Buckup would give her all the necessary inform ation; that he could not really under stand but sho caught him up before he could finish the sentence with "No, you. don't understand, oh, no! You wonldn't tell me for a pan of doughnuts what kind of laws you make that says a woman shan't bo a daughter of Becky, merely because she's got a wart on her nose. That's what he tells me, and then he says I should have to have a medical examination, and that the last woman in always has to wash the dishes when they have thoso stuffing jubilees. Oh, yes, It's all very fine to leave your poor wife at borne on account of a wart or a sore heel, but I'm going to find out about this business. I am going to know whether one man can hold all the offices through the year and sit up nine nights in the week and then tell his wife she ean't be a Rebekah, and be an inside sentiment or whatever you call 'em, just on account of a littlo thing llko that. I won't troublo you any longer, as probably you want to pass and 'set 'em up' .somowbere; but I'll watch that chap of mlno and If I find there's too much goat in it, I'll forget that I'm a woman if I don't make his head look like a double humped bunion, and he'll have to wear my washtub over It for the next three months."
