"The odd thing about It Is that I
don't really dislike hlni tit nil."
"You will tell me next thnt he
doemi't renlly dislike you," suhl .Maud
Leslie, with nil unbelieving lough.
"I :ini nliulil," sold Vera, "ther. 1.4
no doubt nbout thnt." I could have
pointed out grave doubts, but. I wasn't
more than hair, awake. Besides I
couldn't be quite sure that they re
ferred to me.
' Did you hay 'afraid. VeV"
"You needn't quibble over my
words," she answered Impatiently.
"Dear old Ve!" said Maud tu a mo
ment. Here again I should have pre
tended that t had just woke up uud
announced myself.
"I hate hlni!" Vera observed Incon
sistently. "So," said Maud heartily, "do I?" I
could not well proclaim my presence
after these remarks.
"At least. I think I do."
"I'm sure I do," said Maud posi
tively. "I consider hlni horrible."
"Oh, Maud. You know he Isn't."
"He must he, or he wouldn't be so
rude to you!"
"I I provoke htm, you see."
"That is no excuse at all. Look at
the way he contradicted you about
those Tuscan vases, or whatever you
call tlrem."
"I contradicted him first."
"Why shouldn't you 7"
''Because he was fight."
"Which made It all the more annoy
ing." "Yes." said Vera, with a sigh. I
wished I had let her have her own
way.
"Never mind, dear. You refuted him
about those silly pre-somcthing-or-other
things."
"No-o; I didn't, really."
"Oh, but you did! Pupa and every
one laughed about It." Confound
them!
"Ah, but I was sorry, and he knew
It."
"Nonsense, Ve!"
"Uldu't you hear what he said to
Sir Ourviii O'Brien about them after
ward? If you remember "
"I don't. I didn't understand a
word of their gibberish, and didn't
want to." Quite right. Miss Maud;
women shouldn't dabble In antiqui
ties. Then they wouldn't quarrel with
antiquarians.
"Anyhow, it disposed of my theory
completely."
"Theu, why dldu't you say it at the
time'.'"
"Probably he thought me beneath
nrgumeut." As a matter of fact I had,
for once, made an effort to lie magnani
mous and spare her feelings.
"He Is a great deal too 'superior,' "
stated Maud. I felt myself blushing.
"He really knows a great ileal," stlg
uested Vera, timidly. I made up my
mind uot to quarrel with her any
more. "A tot of antiquated rubbish of no
use to any one," scoffed Maud. I
could feel that she was tossing her
head. "Jack calls him the 'lumber
room!' " Jack Is a young ass!
"I don't agree," said Vera, holly.
"Jack Is "
"No. he Isn't!" He's very uearly en
gaged to Maud.
"A charming and intelligent fellow, I
was going to Bay."
"Nasty little story-teller!" I thought
1 hey were going to quarrel, but they
didn't.
"Well, I'll admit the learning of
your Mr. Norton,'.' said Mabel, wheu
they had done laughing, "but "
"He isn't my Mr. Norton," Vera ob
jected. There was a further pause. If
.Maud had gone I should have felt In
clined to come out and place "Mr. Nor
ton" at pretty Vera's disposal, but
Maud didn't go.
"Do you really like lilm, old VeV"
h asked.
"Only Just a little."
"Sure?"
"I can't see, what you like in him,"
protested Maud. Impatiently. "He's
forty, at least." Thirty-seven only.
Miss Maud.
"I don't care If he Is lie looks
young."
"lie's full of conceit. That really
was i mistake.
"Oh, Maudle! Of course,- he can't
help knowing that he knows things!"
"Uubbishy antiquities! I beg your
pardon, dear old girl, for attacking
your 'subject,' hut. they ure. Anyhow
I don't believe he knows half so much
about them on you do."
"That," said Vera, "Is utterly absurd,
I do uot deceive myself upon that
point."
I have heeu studying antiquities for
twenty years. Kho ha dabbled lu
them for two. Her friends had per
stmded her that she was an authority.
and she had posed a little to me.
Lad bueu Impatient ami tactless lu
pointing out her harmless errors. Thnt
was the beginning of our quarreling.
Afterward we disagreed upon every
thing thnt we hnppiMied to discuss. Wo
hail discussed n good ninny things.
'Anyhow." contended Maud, "he
doesn't know much about anything
else except, perhaps, chess uud bil
liards." "He rows well and dances splen
didly." "If he did things ns well as he thinks
he does " snld Maud scornfully. Yon
will admit that my situation was em
barrassing. "You are rat her 'hard on hint, Maud,
I think." So did I! "Won't you ad
mit that he has any good points?"
"Oh-he can talk! lie's very amus
ing when he comes out of his shell. I
rather like to talk to hint myself." In
deed! "Hut I don't believe he ever
kissed a girl In his life." Hasn't he!
"I'nless" she laughed mischievously
"It's you."
"You are ridiculous," protested Vera.
He wouldn't dream of such u thing."
Obviously Miss Vera understood me
no better than other antiquities.
"Perhaps he why don't you leave oft
squabbling with him?"
'He won't let me. He generally bo
gins by asking whether I am ready fot
our usual quarrel."
'Why don't you say 'no?' "
Because he ought to say It." I rc
solved that he should.
"Then you will llnd him deadly dull."
"11 don't think I should."
"Whatever would you talk about?"
"Oh the usual things."
"My dear Ve. he couldn't! I Just
fancy him whispering soft nothings in
your ear!" Maud laughed. Personally
I didn't see anything to laugh at.
.Vml you blushing and looking down."
"Don't be so silly!"
"While he Imprinted n chaste sa
lute "
"It is time to dress for dinner," said
Vera, frigidly. She walked toward the
door.
'He has a ginger mustache," said
Maud, as a parting shot. This remark
was absolutely untrue; It is golden almost.
"He has uot!" Vern departed.
Maud hummed a queer little tune to
herself for a minute. Then she sighed
twice presumably once I fear fot
me! Then she went out also. After a
prudent Interval I followed.
At dinner Vera and I were neigh-
bors. I avoided antiquities, and told
her umuslng stories, just to hear her
laugh. She looks very pretty when she
laughs. She also looks very pretty
when she doesn't.
After dinner our host, who Is proud
of his scenery, suggested that we
should go aud see the moon rise over
Tall Hill. I managed to escort Vera
and to lose the others.
'Shall we have our usual quarrel?"
she asked, when we hud perched our
selves upon a big stile at the foot of
the hill.
"No," I replied; "I don't want to
quarrel, pleuse."
"Don't you?" she said brightly.
Aren't you afraid we shall be dull?"
"Not lu the least, but If you are "
"Oh, no! Wo can talk about let me
see '
"The usual things?" I suggested.
She looked swiftly at mo and gave a
little start. I took hold of her arm.
I thought you were falling," I ex
plained. "Perhaps It would be safer if
I held you." She didn't seem to mind,
so I gathered her arm comfortably lu
mine.
"I can't Imagine you talking 'usual
things,' you know," she said, with an
uncertain little laugh.
"Everybody says 'usual things' In
the moonlight," I explained. "See, It
Is Just rising over the hill."
We sat a few minutes In silence.
watching the yellow rim appearing,
and the pale light streaming down the
tfelds, dotted here and there with tall
trees.
"It is very, very beautiful," she said
softly. "It makes oue feel good. I am
so glad you didn't want to quarrel tonight."
'Or any other night. I have been
going to tell you so for a long time."
She laughed.
flow strange! Do you know, I have
been wanting to say the same thiug to
yon.
It was right that theoverture should
come from me. She started and
glanced at me agaiu. The moonlight
lit up her pretty, thoughtful face and
glinted In her golden hair. "The pret
tiest effect of the moourlse Is Invisible
to you." I told her.
'I think," she said smilingly, "its
nicest effect Is that It has made two
quarrelsome people " She hesitated
for the word.
'Good friends?" She nodded. "One
of them Is very glad."
'So," she said almost Innudibly, "Is
the other."
Do you know, little Miss Vera,
dreadfully as we quarreled, I liked you
all the time. Only I thought that you
disliked me so much."
Oh, no!" she cried quickly. "In
deed I didn't."
That." I said, "was the odd thing
nbout it!"
She gave such n Jump at the quota
tion that she would certainly have fall
en off the seat if I had not hud the
presence of mind to put my arm rouud

WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS.
Personat Apitearanre or tlio Women Who
Hum lluleit tlm While Hunan,
Of mistresses of the White House
nno of the most popular was Mrs.
James K. Polk. Like Mrs. Cleveland
she was n brunette, and of line ptos
fiicc. It was often remarked that not
frowned head In L'urope could queen
It more royally than the wife of the
republican President. Poets penned
verses In her honor, and on the last
Sunday of her stay In Washington a
rdcrgyinnn addressed her from the pill
plr. She was t routed with great dis
tinction, and after leaving the White
House was visited every New Year's
by the Legislature In a body.
Mrs. George Washington also had
dark hazel eyes and brown hair. She
was not a beauty, but sin' had a good
form, rather below middle weight, and
her manners were frank nnd engaging.
She dressed plainly, and at a lmllglveu
lu her honor she wore a simple russet
gown aud white handkerchief nbout
her neck. One of her dresses, which
she herself manufactured, was of cot
ton, striped with silk, which she ob
tained from ravelings of brown silk
stockings and old crimson chair cov
ers. Mrs. Monroe was considered n beau
ty. She was tull and gracefully formed,
polished t nil attractive In society. Mrs.
John Adams was never beautiful, but
she was of Imposing nppeur.ince and
very Intellectual.
Mrs. John Qulncy Adams was famed
for her charming manners, nnd Mrs.
Andrew Jackson for her amiable tem
per aud kind heart. Mrs. Martin Van
Buren, who died before her husbaud
became President, was a pretty womun
with modest, unassuming manners and
gentle disposition.
The first Mrs. Tyler was one of the
belles of Eastern Virginia, and was
most attractive lu her striking loveli
ness of person and character. The sec
ond Mrs. Tyler was the first woman to
marry n President. Before her mar
riage she was, for the one senson she
spent there, the belle of Washington.
A sparkling brunette was Mrs. Will
iam Henry Harrison. She was very
handsome, with a face full of anima
tion, aud her health, which was robust,
added a glow to her features, which
Increased her charms. "Upon her
countenunce," It Is recorded, "nature
has been profusely liberal."
Mrs. Thomas Jefferson was remarka
ble for her beauty. Her complexion
was brilliant; her large expressive
eyes of "the richest tinge of auburn."
A little above medium weight she was
slightly and delicately formed. She
danced, sung, played the splunet aud
harpischoi'd and rode with great skill.
Mis. James Madlsou was a pretty,
buxom woman, with a smile and a
pleasant word for every one. She had
regular fentures and sparkling eyes.
Mrs. Zachary Taylor was a quiet
woman, but had great strength of char
acter and the true spirit of American
heroines, enduring patiently privation
Incident to life on the frontier, where
her husband, as Major Taylor, was
stationed. She had no ambition be
yond making her home happy.
A blonde of rare beauty wos Mrs.
Millard Fillmore, with a skin of daz
zling whiteness aud auburn hair. She
was quite tall, with a flue figure rutl of
commanding presence. She Is ranked
with the wives of the two Adamses as
a learned woman, aud It was through
her thnt her husbaud asked for and ob
tained an appropriation of Congress to
buy books for the White House. Up
to tbut time there hod been a Bible
there, and little more.
Another woman of rare beauty was
Mrs. Franklin Pierce. She nlso had
many accomplishments. She was very
refined aud quiet, shunning society.
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln as a girl wls
very attractive, aud she had many
suitors. Wheu she became the mis
tress of the White House she was
"fair uud forty."
Mrs. Audrew Jackson possessed the
beauty of face and form which ren
dered her mother oue of the, most beau
tiful of women. Mrs. Grant was a
blonde, of delicate figure, rather below
middle stature. Mrs. Hayes was of
very attractive appearance.. Mrs. (Jar
field was noted for her tact, uud her
husband once said thut he never had to
explain away any words of his wife. "
Mrs. Arthur, who died before her
husband became President, was known
ns "the beautiful Miss Herndou with
the marvellous voice" before her mnr
riage. Mrs. Harrison was fair as a girl and
possessed the blonde style of beuuty,
which nlso belongs to Mrs. McKluley.
Turkey liaising For Women.
One Texas woman has earned large
sums by raising turkeys and managing
a farm in addition. Her flock of tur
keys numbered six when sue began.
Now it comprises many hundred, uud
last year she cleared over lf2."i(M. With
the increase of the Industry she
dunged her methods of raising the
birds, and the eggs tire hutched by
means of the moHt up-to-date Incuba
tors, while acres of hind arc set aside
for the raising of certain foods which
have been fouud of value tor the birds.
Strange as it may seem, young turkeys
cannot be allowed to run around in the
dew or rains, and lu this direction she
has had to take many precautions.
The young turkeys are lodged nights
and during wet weather iu u covered
yard or specially constructed house,
where they cannot endunger their lives
by wandering around lu the wet gruss.
The food for the .birds consists mainly
of bread and corumeul without salt,
aud with a generous quantity of red
pepper mixed In. Until the birds reach
an age wheu they can search out for
themselves the necessary green foods
they are provided with the tips of shal
lots finely chopped.
When the birds reach their fifth
niontb they are considered sufllcientlv
"grown up" to have become somewhat
hardy, aud they thrive when fed twice
a day. Some epicure have their birds
fattened to order on a sneclsl diet. as.
for lusinnee, nuts, nnd these birds
command fancy prices for the extra
cine anil expense entailed In raising
thrill.
Tills femlniti" turkey raiser Is enthu
siastic over the possibilities along this
hew line of Industry for women, nnd
considers thnt It offers great opportu
nities for those who desire to become
self-support ing.

ter of well, of a number of tilings.
Simple, guileless little Hashes which
tie easily ure much liked, but some of
us will yearn for more complicated
schemes.
Those thnt have this little longing
will fall lu love with the very wide
sash lu soft, satiny silk or crepe which
Is n puzzle to many who are a bit up
in matters sartorial.
Well, then, this interesting affair
droops in handsomely adjusted folds
lu front, but Is cnught up high at the
under-the-nrm seams, reaching from the
edge of the bodice nearly to the arm
holes, and being laid in small and close
pleats. In the buck It drapes down
ngaln In V shape, and It crosses Just
below the waist line In tightly held In
folds. From this flow the long ends,
but: there Is neither bow nor loop nor
knot. In some instances n buckle np
puritutly holds the folds In place.
Midsummer lints.
Colored hats are extremely fashiona
ble, and look especially well with the
thin summer gowns. Those nni'lu of
the ideated chiffon In pink are very
dainty and smart with n llo'.vcrcd pink
and white muslin, or In blue with a
blue and white, and so on Indefinitely.
The next In favor are the yellow
straws, trimmed with pink roses or
with black velvet aud fancy buckles.
The last are only Intended for mid
summer wear, but they look so cool
and are so becoming thnt It Is small
wonder that they ure popular. The
turbans and toques now to be seen are
not particularly attractive, for they are
stiff and harsh, and have some hard
lines unbecoming to most faces In spite
of the fact that the straw Is of a irons
parent weave. In nil the newest hats
the tendency to make them Hat and
brood Is evident, hut until the style of
urranglng the hair changes very mate
rially (ns authorities predict that it
will soon do), these hats are uot likely
to bo becoming, and It Is safer to buy
hats with some high trimming Har
per's Bazar.
" Proper Use of Fare Powder.
Face powder Is not such n wicked
thing as It sounds wheu It Is used
properly. A little of It lu summer
helps to keep the skin smooth uud dry
and docs much toward keeping the col
lars clean. The. little package of soap
papers, to use 'in case of emergency,
proved popular, and after them came
the package of powder papers In little
cases and each leaf full of powder.
That Is one of the most couveui'tit
forms of carrying powder for the wom
an who likes It when traveling, but
thera Is also a l'ttle leather case of
about the same size containing a little
chamois, well powdered, ns well as
the tiny powder puff In n little bat; to
tuck away with 111" handkerchief.
Some women prefer a bit of chamois
always, in using powder, to the pow
der pull".
A Unique Iilea of a Kelt.
Never was there such an Infinite va
riety of belts us this season has brought
forth, but one woman has fouud an un
tried novelty. Over a snioo:h, supple
leather belt she fastened firmly Tuscan
braid, such as ordinarily is woven Into
hats, una got from n mllll'icr n straw
buckle for a fastening. The effect was
unique and summery, and she carried
out the Idea still further by edging a
white Stock lor the neck with the same
sort of braid and ornamenting It with
a straw clasp sim'l ir to thi oue ut the
girdle, but of smaller size. To the
question, "Where did you buy them?"
fin. smilingly replied that Ihcy were
imported for her exclusively.

WMTS
Iloiinelinlit Clatter Pisces,
There is n popular notion that the
woman who builds a house first re
members the closets aud pantries,
and groups the necessary rooms
around them. This Is because tho
average masculine builder Is apt to
be sadly remiss In nrranging a suffi
cient number of closets. It Is quite
possible to have too many closets, es
pecially when these little rooms nre
built without ventilation or sufficient
light. It Is better to huvo a few largo
closets lighted and veutllated. so that
there Is no danger of their being
storage places for Impure air, than
It Is to have a largo number of smnl!
shut ln-places which are so dark tho!
they nre certain to become cluttel
places.
A clothes closet cannot ho prop
erly built without n smnll window tc
light nnd ventilate It. F.ven wheu thh
Is provided, clothes that nre donp will
perspiration or full of the dust iini'
germs of outdoor streets should not
be hung In them. When n street wrap
or dress Is taken off It should bo dust
ed well at first, nud, If necessary, hung
lu the fresh nlr in front of an open
window to free it from all dampness
of perspiration before It Is hung lu the
closet. A fine dressT or one of very
delicate color, which Is likely to fade
from long exposure to the light, may
be hung in a hag of coarse unbleached
muslin. Make such a bag of ample
size, aud drop the skirt Into It, hnng
Ing It up at the two upper corners
The waists of such dresses should hi
folded and laid In bureau or closet
drawers.
The Care of a Fern-Dish.
A well-filled fern dish ns it is de
livered by the florist. Is really a very
pretty and dainty affair, but unfortu
nately the length of time thnt it re
mains In good condition is genernllj
very short. The majority of the ferns
and plants used in filling the fern disl
nre of a tropical nature. The florist
being aole to maintain the moist
humid atmosphere in the freeuhouse
the plants consequently thrive and do
well for him; but on removing thorn
to the average dining or living room
conditions are so changed that disas
trous results usually follow. During
the fall and winter keep the fern ilist
in the kitchen as much as possible, foi
there the steam from boiling pots and
kettles keeps the air moist. Keep evet
iu mind thut a high temperature and
a dry atmosphere will certainly kill
the ferns or Injure them greatly, so
thut If It is Impossible to maintain
mtlHclcnt moisture, keep the plants
lu a lower temperature, say about
sixty degrees Fahrenheit. In the
summer n moist, shady place, such
as ut the north of the house at
the base of the wall, should be se
lected, and a slight excavation made
Into which to plunge the pan wheu
not lu use. The matter of waterlug,
especially In dry weather. Is Important
and the soil should never be allowed
to become too dry, nor the plant tc
suffer for water. It is a beneficial
practice to syringe the foliage of tin
ferus every two or three days. In ad
dition to these suggestions, oue should
keep a sharp lookout for scale Insects
which work such havoc often befon
they are discovered. During seven
rains or storms the pau should be
taken Into the house. Avoid keeping
the feru dish In the direct sunshine,
but ullow plenty of light. The ma
Jorlty of fern dishes nre la two parts,
the Inner part of either tin or pottery
to hold the plants, and the outer tin
ornamented part. This nrrangemeu'
makes It convenient to move the Innei
part with the plants. Womuu's Homi

An Amazon Who Served as an Artillerist
In the IteTolntlnn.
All Interesting character associated
with the early history of West Point
was an nmnzon commonly known ns
"Captain Molly." She was the wife
of nn urtlllerymau in Fort Clinton at
the time of Its capture by the British
In October, 1777, and when the enemy
sealed the parapet lie lied, hut Molly,
his wife, who was built of belter stuff,
stepped up nnd took his place nt (he
gun. Nine months afterward at the
bottle of Monmouth she carried water
from n neighboring spring and served
it to the soldiers in the earthworks
during tho early part of the cngnge
meiit, and when her husband was
killed at his post she dropped her
bucket, seized the rammer nnd re
mained with the other artillerymen
nt the gun until tho close of tho bot
tle. On tin following morning General
Green presented her to Washington,
who appointed her a sergeant In the
army and afterword she was plai-ed
on the retired list at half pay for life.
She was a great favorite in the aruiy,
and Is described as a stout, red-haired,
f rccklcd-facod, good-natured Irishwom
an, with a sharp tongue and n hot
temper. She spent the rest of her life
at West Point, usually wearing a
cocked hat and the blouse of a.i artil
leryman with n sergeant's chevrons
upon tin sleeves Toward the i nil of
her life she became arrogant ami que
rulous and was n great trouble to the
olfliceis. There is n considerable cor
respoiidcnco ou fllo nt the War Depart
ment lu Washington concerning her,
and finally the Secretary of War was
compelled to place her In chtrge of a
woman who was made responsible for
litr good behavior. Ou one occasion
the post commissary writes: "As Molly
Is such n disagreeable object to take
care of I hove been obliged to borrow
the moii'.w to pay the people, and If it
con possibly be replaced I should be
very glad."
On another occasion tho post com
missary nt West Point informs the
Secretary of War lu nil official letter
thnt .Molly is very much In need of un
dergarments that arc worn exclusively
by women, nud usks permission to pur
chase three or four at Government ex
pense, but the Secretary of War re
plies that they will be forwarded from
Washington. Four months later the
commissary Is comdleil to ug.Mn re
mind his superior of the matter us fol
lows: "To the Secretary of War, Washing
ton. Sir: If tho shifts which you In
formed me should be made for Captnlu
Molly are done I should bo grind to
have them scut, as she complains much
for want of them. I have the honor
to bo your obedient servant." Chicago

One-Mlnate Telephone.
The new system of oue-mluute tele
phones, which is uow coming into
vogue, is based on tho supposition that
tho great majority of telephone mes
sages can really bo condensed into n
minute's conversation when once the
subscilbers arc connected up. Tho ob
ject of Introducing this service was
that the stnndurd five minutes' serv
ice was too expensive, with long-distance
telephones, to be nt all popular.
The one-minute Is, therefore, charged
for nt the rate of one-fifth of whut it
would have been for a five minute ser
vice, with u minimum cliurge of Hftceu
cents for one minute. Thus the rate
for points between 100 nud 2W miles
from euch other Is twenty cents n min
ute. For a distance of thirty-five miles
the charge is fifteen cents ti minute
and five cents for each additional mlu
