In the Apache campaign in Arltena, in 1874, King saw brilliant service. The troop of which he was in command became conspicuous. Gen. Sherman publicly stated that he con sidered their services "unemialed by these of nay cavalry regiment." Oh Nev. 1, 1874, King was severely wounded at Sunset pass, He was then only saved from falling Inte the hands of the bloodthirsty savages by the valorous devotion of one of his sol diers. Fer months the intrepid commander was laid up with a shattered saber arm. Al Al eost before It was well he was in the sad dle again and went through the terrible Big Hern and Yellowstone campaigns. HU service was brilliant, his bravery matchless, and his coolness in the heat of many of the most terrible battles ever fought with the Indians wen him unstinted praise from his superiors. In 1ST8 King's wound, which had never healed, became se troublesome tlmt he was forced te go befere a reMring beard. The next year he left the army that he loved se well and became a shelved warrior full of scars and glory before he had reached one-half of man's threc-score-nndtcn years. And thus it was that the soldier lx-catue an author. After his retire ment he held (tcrer.il Important civil and military commissions, and liecame Identi fied prominently with the national guard, in which he Is still very much interested. In Capt. King's study, where he writes his stories, there Is the veritable Navajo blnnkvt In which his soldiers bundled or carried him down the mountain side after receiving his wound nt Sunset pas. There, tee, can lie seen the pictures In uni forms of many of the heroes of his stories. Shoulder straps, sword belts, forage cap mid buckskin leggings are suspended from, the walls. There are a thousand and ene' ether curious things picked up by the cap taiu during his army life. On the wall is a line portrait of Gen. ltufus King, and near by Is the magnificent presentation sword owned by the soldier writer's distin guished father. Altogether It is a home of refinement and taste. Capt. King and the lady who wen the Metalre whip have three children, mid there Is n Charles King, Jr., who is a living picture of the, father and a lcrfect soldier in miniature. G. II. Yekewine. BRIGHT BOY TRAVELER. Me Made tlie .Journey front Tens te New Yerk en Fifty Cents. - A fine upcciuicti of young American reliance is Muster Jehn Stacey, who a few daya uge was found sleeping en a coal barge in Npw Yerk and taken te imlice headquarters. Muster Jehn is lit years old, and has seen considerable of the world ns will be believed when it is learned that he traveled from Texas te New Yerk-city all alone, and with only fifty cents in his pocket when he started. His father, who lives in Dallas, Tux., mid he, he says, "didn't gee." Jehn was it faverite witli his grand mother, and for soine reason or ether his father didn't like it. Dealings, ac cording te the Ijev'h story, en sued, and he ran away te Bryan, Tex., and lived with nn uncle. There wasn't much for him te de there, and se ene day he told the undo that he was going te New Yerk. Ne objec tions were made, and with the help of :i railroad con ductor he started. He staid a day nt Dallas, few hours at St. Leuis JOHN BTACKY. nnd a day at Little Heck. At nene of these places did he have any difficulty in getting enough te eat, but at Mem phis he hail te spend his entire fortune- fifty cents en meals. In Louisville he passed two days, but he didn't like Cin cinnati, and was glad te be able W get away in five hours. In Buffalo he lived for five days and then went direct te New Yerk. This entire trip he made with the fifty cents and the geed will of the railroad men. There is nothing of the braggart about Iho Ixvy; he tells his story in a plain, straightforward way. When he wantH te de a thing, he says, he simply gees ahead and (low it. Ile is net at all hand Mine, for he has unkempt, yellow hair, a queer shaped head nnd hundreds of freckles. Yet he impresses ene as being honest nnd trustworthy. A XutVd Clilll.ui lM.ilemnt.

Every thy I walk down Connecticut avenue, the thorough fare which most directly connects the fash ionable quarter of the capital with the business center, and every day I leek for a certain open carriage; drawn by a net ever stylish but light stepping span of hays. I am rarely disappointed. Morning after morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, the bays whisk by, affording ene n lucre glimpse of the occupant of the victeria, the loveliest woman in America. MM Mattie Mitchell has beensoeften described as America's handsomest woman that some readers may be tired of the reiteration. Tbcre is, besides, a dlffcrence of opinion about her beauty. A cabinet minister's wife a dowager whose opinion usually gees n great way said te me ene night Inst winter at a re ception, "What, you adore Mattie Mitch ell that dough faced glrlf" Anether dame of high degree in a Ixix nt the epent opposite the Mitchells' demurely remark ed: "Se you think MaUlu Mitchell it sweet woman. Se she Is, se she Is, and t-.e Is a roll of fresh butter sweet." Ilut It w,u noticeable, just the Mime, that at the 'reception nil cy, followed the perfect figure In pure while, surmounted by (ha perfect head of bronze, ami from room te room ran the whisper, "'(.'hut's sha Miss Mitchell." At the opera all glasses wcre leveled to ward the box In which sat the modest, genial girl, chatting gayly between nets with her mother and sister and Sir Julian Paunccfote. A roll of fresh butter, a dough face she may be, but she has tha beauty which sets all tongues wagging, all MATT I IS MITCHELL. eyes gazing, for all that. And speaking of Sir Julian Paunccfote reminds methat the old courtier, who has seen something of beautiful and charming women in his time, Is very feud of Miss Mitchell. Ile nnd Lady Paunccfote often drive with her orgexxith hcrte thoepera. "Miss Mitch ell," says the British minister, "Is tlie most iienutlf id woman I ever saw." And with this verdict I, os ene of her adorers, am content. Sir Julian's honest praise outweighs ull the flings of the dowagers. But It was net se much of Miss Mitch ell's lieauty that I set out te write. That is a hackneyed though glorious subject. I have never yet attempted te descilbe her beauty I lack ceulldeuce In myself. My peer vocabulary Is net equal te the task. Cel. P. Douan.ef Devil's Lake and every where, Is the only man I knew who could de justice te the subject; and the colonel, who sets himself up as Sir Antheny Abso lute en womanly beauty, does iiotndmlre Miss Mitchell, mero's Hie pity. The col onel, I fear, lias lieconie narrow In his vision w hile pretending te be comprehen sive. "I have seen, and am ierseiially ac quainted with, nil the pretty women In this country wertli knowing," says Cel. Denan. "Many of thesu famous Washing ton beauties are se plain that they wouldn't 1h! considered even comely in the south." This statement discloses tlie col onel's weakness. He has become Infnt not ed with the beauty of Dixie. He has be come se narrow in hisrauge that te him there are no beautiful women except theso w he were born south of the Ohie river. Te his notion Miss Mattie Thompson, daughter of ex-Cengiessman Phil Thomp son, of Kentucky, Is the most beautiful woman of Washington. Next te her he places the Herbert sisters, (laughters of CengrcHsmnti Herliert.uf Alabama. Kittie Cheatham, the sprightly and taleutcd nctrcKs new with the. Daly company in Europe, Is another of the colonel's favor ites. .Mattle Thompson Is a tall, dlvine girl; the Herbert sisters are perfect madon maden nas, and Kittle Cheatham, in addition te being talented and the daughter of a dis tinguished Tennessee family, is a beautiful woman. Hut Mattie Mitchell reigns su preme. She Is easily tlie queen of hcaiily at the national capital. As she rides down Connecticut aveiiue this het morning we reflect that she has ether charms than these of face, nnd llgure. There Is nene of the indolence of the so ciety woman alsiut her. She Is geed unt il ted, happy, girlish and alert. Her rrlcnils she recognizes afar and gleets with hearty, buoyant air. Though sliu hits reigned new live or six seasons, Ixith here anil in Eu rope, she fs net blase, she never appears tiled, stupid or iiiditfeielit. She does net grew old. If anything she Is prettier new than she was live jears age. She is heart whole and heart-young. Still better, she bes among her many accomplishments as a musician, linguist and conversationalist a geed deal of the practical and useful. MIhn Mitchell Is a rure geed housekeeper, u manager and a nurse. As we see her rolling down Connecticut avenue she appears tee dainty for thoughts of roasts and vegetables, of medicines and doctors, but she is en her way te market. Te market she gees every morning, and then te the druggist's and te tlie shops. Mrs. Mitchell Is in loer health. At times she Is helpless for weeks and mouths, and then the cares of the household fall upon her daughter. They fall upon worthy and capable, even if deliciously white and round, shoulders. A part of the tlme Miss Mattle lias the help of her married sister, Mrs, Handy, who is, almost as beautiful us Mattie. The .Mitchell household Is ene In which love reigns. Secial success has net warped any natures there. Here are lovely, much courted daughters who have time te kiss and wait upon their father and mother (laughters who stay in sultry Washington, where they can I mi of comfort te their patents, while seaside and mountain re sorts lire j earning for them and premising them many triumphs. Net the least of this physically perfect Muttie's charms Is fie fact that she Is n sincere, unaffected, w holeseme American girl. Whv she bus net married is one of Hi" little mjsterles which Washington gos-siK-rsleio te chatter about. It Is known that she has i elected morn than ene titled feieigner, mere t bun ene rich xeung man ofjiiniuer less diameter who was (bulled by her Is- inly Frem w lint I knew of I hi pLcrkh American girl I am willing te predict that she will marry the man with whom she falls In love that a man favored with her affect leu should fail te return It is it contingency tee remote te lsj considered and it will make no dilTerenee If he Ihj peer and unknown. And from wdiat I knew of her, moreover, I urn con fident the man that guts her will win a treasure, a geed wife and genuine, help meet. Mattie Mitchell had cculiar interest In the most fashionable wedding which Chi cago Ills tiije)cd for u jearer two, I de net knew that Miss Mitchell was even In vited te the nuptials of Hose Furxxcll, daughter of Senater Fanvcll, nnd Ilekirt Cliatlbld Tayler, a few weeks age, but I venturu te say she read thu newspaper ac counts thereof with rare zest. Seme years age, when hu was a very young man, Ho He bart Tajler fell In le.e with Mattie Mitchell. Probably It was hbtjlrst love; and for a time It was n severe attack. Mrt Tayler is n rich young man. He Is heir te immense l.md estates In Chicago, Fer sumo unfathomable reason his relatives I iuiu-hl he was throwing himself away en Mettle Mttclii'll There in no ex Munrw ht he ever proposed te tlie route; lady, nnd ns likely as net he would nave lieeu rejected it he hed proposed. But he was siifllclcnt-' ly infatuated te de almost anything, nnd his relatives set themselves nbetttdevUlug means of calling him away. At that tlme Mr. Tayler had net. coma Inte his possessions, nnd was living en an J allowance which xvas initie tee large Ter his extravagant tastes and luxurious habits. lie was almost if net quite as feud of horses and equipages ns he was of Mattle Mitchell, and knowing the young man's weakness In this direction his shrewd Unde Cliattleld was able te meet the emergency. "It you will give up Mattie Mitchell," said he, "I will buy you a tally-he and four." Yeung Til) ler hesitated, sighed, and xvas lest, lie chose the tally-he! We shall have te forgive Mr. Tayler en the score of youth and lnexier!cuce. Per haps, moreover, he had a glimmering of the truth that Miss Mitchell xvas lieyend hi reach, nnd concluded he had better take what he could get. Ne doubt Miss Mitchell, If she thought seriously of the mutter ene way or the ether, concluded It was geed riddance. Ilut Tayler has turned out well. He has developed Inte a man of character nnd energy. His nt tempt te found nn American party xvas n lamentable, al most ridiculous failure, but he has suc ceeded In establishing at Chicago a very f;oed xveekly literary paper, America. Tny or himself Is n geed writer, nnd a man of force nnd originality, xvhe Is pretty sure te make n stir In the world. His geed sense, nnd flue discrimination, If discredited by his alleged exchange of Mattle Mitchell for n tally-he and four, xvas finally established by his selection of e xvlfe. Hose Karwell Is n sweet and wom anly little wenrm. Though reared In a wealthy and noted family she was sim plicity Itself. Her Is'sl fi lends xrerti ioer neighbor girls at Iuke Kerest, her father's country home en the sboie of Laku Mich igan, n few miles north of Chicnge. And when she was ready te be married te the handsome and talented young millionaire, nnd all the fashionables were In attend ance, xvhe did she have for bridesmaids buta number of her girl friends, the neigh bor girls whose fathers xvere clerks and ' bookkeepers? A little story of sxvect Hose Farxvcll that xvas Is worth telling, ns all steiles are that illustrate the womanliness and tlie vholo vhelo vhole somo American character of theso of our girls that hax'e been reared In luxury. Af ter the marriage came preparations for the bridal tour. The house was full of serv ants and plenty of willing hands xvere near, but the brlde insisted upon packing her own trunks. "I want te knew just xvhere everything Is," she said. When the trunks were ready and train tlme was near she sent James for the wagon, lly the tlme James and the wagon had cotne the , bride was dressed for her journey, "New, James," she said, "Ini careful howjoiiliau hewjoiiliau howjeiiliau dlo my trunks. They ure full of pretty things." James xvas careful, for his mistress steed by and suierliitended the leading. Then the geed-by kisses were kissed, and te the astonishment of all the bridu climbed upon the Wilsen, seated herself eun trunk and badu James drive te the station. "I am going te see that these trunks are properly checked," she said In explanation, "I lie men ero se careless." And away te the station anil her bridal tour she went amid the tears and laughter of her friends and leln tixes. It seems almost a pity that such a girl could net have married a peer man in stead of n millionaire. Anether Washington lieauty xxhose fnll fnll ure te wed has reused the curiosity of the gesaipcrs Is Miss licltcr, elder daughter of IjCX'1 'A. Iiclter, the millionaire who made his money in Chicago dry goods and leal estate, and xvhe pays Secrct.-yy Ilhilne a thousand dollars a month for the prh ilege of living in tlie secretary's heuse en Du IKjnt circle. There is a romance here tee. Twe or three years age, while traveling in Scotland, the Inciters made the acquaint ance of u xeutig Scotsman of fine charac ter and great wealth. Between him and the handsome American gill thelittlogod thelittlegod thelittloged de,ss stirred up no end of joy and trouble joy lccnuse the Ioxe xvas genuine and mu tual, and trouble beeaiise the stern patent Interfered, forbade further Intimacy and whisked his daughter away tu America. They de say that Miss 1-citcr is a girl of character and determination, ami that she will wed Hie young Scotchman or net wed at all. There is a little satisfaction in knowing that the rich and fashionable have hearts mid pains just like common folk. Krem womanly beauty and the plunks of love te jingling eeiu is nu unpleasant descent. Hut I have a duly te pel form, In my Interview with the director of the mint it couple of weeks age I made that gentleman say: "The nmeiit of geld in our geld coins lias net lieeu changed slnee xe first began coinage in 1TH.I. Thu alley has been changed, but net the amount of pure geld." It xmis x cry stupid of me te make Mr. Iccch Hay that, for hu said nothing of the sort. What be did say was that the amount of llnu silver in thu standard silver dollar has net lieeu changed since xxe be gan coining. Thu amount of geld in thu geld dollar h.ls lieeu changed several times. I make this correction cheerfully, for whether ene talk of beautiful women or ether piccieus things of thu xxerld he should endeavor te be truthful and accu rate. Keni:itT GltAVKS.

It Is a strange thing, but it is true, and I don't suppose rtnylsjdy en earth would lieliex'ti it un less positive proof was offered, and se I tell it net expecting te be IwUeved, but wemenkind are new occupying their minds very seriously en what is te be worn this fall. There is always n reach ing out for what the future holds that Is just as fascinating te the feminine mind aa the utmost pleasure of the present; and se women, while crjfitcnt in the beautiful confections of lace and rlbtsm, of dainty silk nnd floating muslins, nnd think no morn of them, knewlug them te be all that is desirable, they de give many wakeful hours of thought toward FAU, BTLK8. the new dresses they must have te xveai en their return te texvn again after their summer of pleasant rest, where they work harder at tennis, rexvlng and ether active employments than tlie jKxir work ing girls whose condition calls forth se much pity, only theirs is under less healthy conditions. The beautiful nexv gowns that will take forms of grace He nexv in smooth folds en the counters of the great im porting houses, where I get a terrible hcadache this week trying te du my duty toward my dear readers. Stuff goeda ero decidedly stuffy iu large quantltiea in the summer iu xvarcroems that arc kept closed ou account of moths; but I saw such beautiful goods, and like the rest of my sisters I am auxieuH for thu cool days that will make them things of delight and comfort. The color is gray for this season, and tlie varieties thure can be lu this ene color is beyond the power of imagtua tieu. First comes the soft pearl and sil ver gray silk warp Henriettas, next thu cashmeres and camel's hair, but par ex cellence the nexv gray cheviot. This is te be a feature in the fall trade, and the effects achieved xvith black and xvhite wool and ene sole fabric is some thing almost marvelous. There is a dark gray cheviot, almost black. Iho pat tern being made by the peculiur weave, which is zigzag, and it is he cunningly woven that (here are a dozen lights and BhadcH upon il, giving it the effect of 1h ing woven in as many shades, whereon laid flat you see but one. This goods is made by the simple admixture of black and xvhlte wool, nnd according as black or xvhlte predominates the uliade is dark or light. The gray cheviets come in four weights nnd thrceshades and are forty-four Inches xvide, xvith three interiuediate shades in twilled cheviets. This makei) six shades tu cheese from. Plain black cheviets and camel's linlr will lie xx'ern mere than they have Ihsjii for many Bcasens. Seme of them xvill be braided very closely iu daik red, green nnd lil no. Black camel's hair comes iu four weights, forty-four inches xvide, and makes elegant and durable, dresses, but rather Ixitter suited te home wear than the street, while the new gray choviels are equally suited for both. A very pretty light gray cheviot can be made up te be a thing of lieauty and a joy as long as a thread of it lasts, and that will WAISTS, lw long, following the illustration found herexvith, xvhich is princcsse, xvith the front drawn quite plain and grace fully draped. Anether pretty style is a dark gray, soft finish diagonal cheviot, made up iu combination xvith gray and xvhite plaid twill, which I forget te mention, nnd is shexvn in great variety of sizes and styles of plaid pattern, I give a few pretty waists xvhich ladies can easily make up for themselves of India, Burah or wash silks, te wear ever odd skirts. These xvaists are very fash ionableand equally pretty, and nre xveru in thu street ns well as at home.

Oueef thomest nppetilng things In this city nt this season Is a x Isit te t he fruit and vegetable mm kids. Iu thu latter alieut every conceivable arti cle in the "green koe(1h" line is net only (lisphi)ed in abundance, but Usetemptliig te the duvotee at the vegetarian diet altar as te be isisltivcly fesOlimtliiK. And fruits, cs'iccl.illy of the Is'rry. cherry and (eacli families, are simply killing In mom ways than one. Cherries us large ns ordinary eastern plums are arranged lu regular lay ers, with the biggest and best ou top, In shallow, oblong boxes. Figs, apricots and peaches atu displayed In endless quantities and of the llucsl qualities. IllmkUrrlei, red raspls-rrles mid cur rants are abundant also. But thu p tires are net what euu xwnild uxtsxt them te Ihj In such a fruitgrewing state. Thu modern fruit shipping facilities aru such that there Is no such thing as it glutted market. What Is net required for home consump tion Is either sent cast or else ex'elvcd Inte hiiiisorcniitiederdtled for future distribu tien, Consequently tlie growers nre al-4- wuys sure of it market, and nt paying prices for nil they can produce. Hence fruit fanning Is ene of the most certainly roinuneratlvc. "branches of Indus try In California. Notwithstanding the yeiirly Incrcnse lu orchards and the t'limu latlvu proclivities of elder trees the leM W? Pf few V imm, m du?" is never se ureal nn in materially iwi lis value. The deinniid for California (te and rnlslmt and canned fruits Is gr.qixi'trg mere rapidly limn thu growth of orchards, and extends ever nu ever widening nrea, Callferulaim have te pay about as much for such delicacies ns de New Yorkers. Fer this New Yorkers are net sorry. The handling of the fruit crops here forms an extensive and profitable employ ment for armies of lnlxirers as xvell as mid xllcmeu or manipulators. Comparatively few grexvtrs put their mvn product en the market. Much of It is sold en the tree te shlpnrs and peckers, who buy orchards ut a fixed price iktIkix and gather the fruit tlietnseites. This Is especially the case xxlth oranges. Then when the f i nit Is picked thu culls rhletly II ud their way Inte home markets, the liest yield U'lng parked for eastern cities. But one advantage home consumers b.tx is t lie fart that xve get tlie fresher picked and tree ripened article. The Ixest matured fruit will net stand long shipment and Is disposed of nt home. (1 recti figs will net ship, nnd when the luscious ripe fruit is plucked from the stem It faitly dlsselvea in one's mouth. 11. G, W. $5,000 A PORTRAIT. That I What America's Mint Famous Verlrnlt rainier Uvts for Ills Werk. ISpcs-'lal Oorresiieiiileiieo.) New Yekk, July 17. A portrait paint er who can pick tip t-sO.Otitl in four months by the skillful wielding of his brush might reasonably lie called suc cessful, Te put it otherwise, Jehn Sar gent might Is.) styled a successful artist. Te put it iu still another form, ami as it really is, Jehn Sargent is tUe most fa mous American iKirtrnlt jKilrner. Mr. Sargent is one of the few Ameri can disciples' of portraiture dhe only one, hu far ns I knew, who can com mand tf.1,000 for n iilngle portrait. That be can command theso remunerative prices for his work, and that he has nu treuble in getting all the work he wants, is shown by the fact that, aa I intimated abeve, he rnicketcd ifsSO.OOO ns the fruit of a four months' jaunt ever te his na tive country a couple of years or se age. Ills reputation en this side of the water is of the best, and he could coin money xx'cre he te live here, but somehow Mr. Sargent prefers Londen, nnd has all but liccome an Englishman. He gen erally runs ever here iu the summer, paints a few fi.OOO isirtrnits iu order te pay his traveling ex sinsnn, uud thou hies lihnself Biltaiuward. He xvns ever here iu Nexv Yerk en ene of bis (icriedlcnl pilgrimages it f exv xvoeku age, and xvleldcd his brush nt a dollar or se a stroke iu his studio ou Txvonty-tliiriihtreet. I saxv him one evuiiiug at nu artist's gathering. He is net of particularlystrikingnpiiear aucu, but the refinement of his manner cannot fail tu impress' any ene win) meets him. In stature be Is neither tall nor short. Apparently he has yet te pass te the shady side of forty years. His full brown Ward is fashionably trimmed, and alsmt it and thu face there is some thing that suggests the artist. The fatuous artist does net go out iu society a gloat deal ou this side of the water, though he would lie welcomed every where were he se dUHised. In Paris and Louden he has the entree in the most exclusive circh, and is a social lien iu his quiet way. Carelua Durnii, probably the greatest living French portrait pniuler, xvas his master, and there are net a few connois seurs xvhe lielft that thu pupil has sur passed the master. Duran and Sargent continued their friendship xvhich urexv out of their luweciiiliuun in ihe former's studio for many years after the pupil had branched out for himself, and the Is-st portrait of the (front French master extant xvns painted by the great Amer ican master. Beinethlug caused trouble between them, though, and they ure net new en upcaking terms. Sargent's work in heimi resjiects re Bumbh'H that of the world famous Span iard, Velasquez, and it is said that the in fluence of Columbus' countryman is dis tinctly traceable In the .1,0() works of the unlive of tlie country which Colum bus rescued from oblivion. Be that as it may, Sargent has painted portraits of some of the xvcallhieiit Americans, In eluding the xvife of the Inte William 11. Vaiulcrbilt, and the galleries of most of the millionaire art pat runs of America have sicclmeus of his work. Ouu of his latest American xverks is the much talked of iHirlrail of the sprightly Car lucncitn of terpslchercan faine. KllWAltl) llUNNKl.t. Plll'.l.lft. (IreiU mill Alieenluil Jllurrlacrs. Aiiii'.nh, .lunii W. CI reek girls usually marry when sixteen or wvuiiteeii if they have a gtssl dowry, net otherwise, uulcriH they hapiHin te lw nutisually beautiful, and even then they are looked down en by the condescending bridegrooms and their families, xvhe de net allow them te forget tlmt they xvere portienless. When a Greek girl is of a inarriageable age her brother, or cousin or father if she lias no brother, gees te his closest friend and says: "I have a little ulster te mar ry, Her dower will lw se much iu money or juwels." The ether ncceptH if the stun is high enough, but dues net-hesitate te hlggle ever the iimallest matters like it pi rut e. The dowry must lw of the incst tangible sort. When this Li settled the brlile gT(wm prospective in taken te seu thu girl and they are formally betrothed. The dexvry is paid te him the day of the wedding ceremony, and ills female rcla tivcM count ever every urticloef her very under linen te make Hiiro that it is all there. The flrcek girls have te marry tha man chosen for them uiiqucstieningly, I kunxv a beautiful young Greek girl who was in sclnwl yet. Her father sent nn old man te the school te see her, and sliu xvas sent for te the parlor, whera she made her most profound bexv, talked a few xvenls iu French and English with him und played her "star" piece ou the piano, and thought she was showing off for the Is'nefit of the school, when te her dismay she discovered that slut xx-iw te marry him. She had se small a dowry Unit no young man xx-euld take her, and se she xvas given te this horrible old man for horrible he xvas. I knew her a year after her marriage, xvhich xvas one long torture. Peer girls have a haul time te find husbands, ami Hemelimcrt their families xvill bind themselves te support biide and gioem and any iwwsible increase for a ccitain term of years in place of a dowry, and the contract is strictly en feirtsl. This is xvhy girl babies we se coolly welcomed iu Eilreiw. Gieek xvlvcs are mole like slaves te their husbands Hum Turkish ones, and in case of death ordixerco the dowry she brings is net restored te her, but she must take her chance with the ether heirs. They are under thu control of their brothers' or sous, even if xvidexved and it is ram that they are allowed thu control of their own money. Their broth ers, fathers or husbands may U-at them, and lu fact mnka their very lives bur dens, though I think they usually treat thcni mildly. Armenian girls nre usually very pretty but inune, and their parents liegiu te Kive their dowry as seen as they me bem, and this is handed ever te the bridegroom the day before the wvdding, wj that the imiiccunieuslirid-giiwinmay buy a handsome piescnt for his bride.
