Mario wns almost In despair, for thero vrns only a small, black loaf In tlie ciiplionrJ, mill she was often bent on when Antone, her father, wns mi-I.TJ-. Suddenly there wns n timid knock at tlie door. "Come In," said Marie. The door swung slowly open nnd seven little women entered. "We are told nnd hungry," said tho oldest, "as we have eoine u Ions dls 1nnee; wo are cry tired and wouhl like to stay nil night." "You nre vry welcome," replied Mn rle, after u moment's hesitation, as she piled tnor.; fagots on the fire. Then ruie divided the loaf into seven portions nnd filled seven tin cups with spark ling water from a spring close by. "I am sorry there Is no more brend." he said pleasantly, "but you are wel come to tills." la n few moments the bread had dis appeared. "We thank yon very mueh," said all the little women In chorus ns t'.iey imtherod around the lire. "And If we ever havo the chance wc will do us much foi you." ' "You nr. very kind." replied Mario. They all fell to talking, and It was not Ions before Marie told her story, which was dreary enough. -"My father does not llko strangers." she said hastily, ns the louil laughing and shouting of Antone anil his boon companions wero borno on the nir, "and you must be very quiet while he is In the house. My bed Is poor and small, but It Is a little better than the bare ground," she added smiling. Anton? was in a very 111 humor. He raved and stormed n long time; finally, seizing Marie, he thrust her out of doors, declnrlng ho would kill her if abe dared to enter the house again. "Others can play nt that game," ex claimed several fine voices, and fast nnd furious fell the blows of the seven little women. Antone growled savage ly nnd, releasing his daughter, turned to his small antagonists, dealing heavy Mows, but they were without nvuil. Crying out in rage and terror Antone, soeing that his efforts to conquer his foes w;-;- In vain, Ignim.inlotisly lied, shouting for help. Poor Mario wept bitterly n't she fid! to the ground. A light snow was fall ing, and the wind swept down from the Mountain In v.i! I, fierce gusts. She heard hxr father's cries of terror, and saw him fls towr.rd the village, closely pursued by tin seven little women. It was not b'tig Lefore they came back find the eldest rang n crystal bell. It was a !,sv. by a innkiiude of bells, chimin ; thra'tgli valley, wood and plain, until tlie nir was tiilo I with mu sic. A beautiful llitla conch drawn by Haven milk white horses appeared. A footman In splendid Ilvry opened the door, and the seven little women ac companied by Marie entered and the earring,? folic,! away. Stopping before a huge rock, which Marie bad often climbed, tin- footman blew a shrill whistle, n door swung open nnd the' carriage parsed through n long nv 'tine shaded by by tiws covered with How ors and fruit, until it stopped before n snpprlj palace, from which caaie the omul of music and laughter. "Her graco; inaji sly has come," said several voices as they entered tlie rialnce. "As tho t;eplng flowers haste to yrcct the mm at morn, so we haste to Kreet her highness, our loved cousin," replied the little women. Marie wns conducted to n chamber hung with blue and silver tapestry. The furniture was of Ivory, covered with blue velvet vrought with pearls. Oh. how beautiful It all was! ITespntly a tiny lady entered, nnd making a queer little bow said: "Princess I.alletia bade mo dnss you, for the que.-n desires to se- you." The queen?" replied Marie. "Ye"," was the reply, "tlie queen of Hip fairies." "Oh, how glad I shall bo to see her." Iier eyes sparkling with pleasure; then added humbly, "I am only little Marie Mantit and I fear she will nut be pleased." "Ah:" was the kind reply, -her mnj osty Is very kind and loves good chil dren. Trim-ess l.alle:m nnd her sisters tinve told how kind you wore to them. nud how you took earn of a sparrow that n wicked loy wounded nnd left lor dead nnd many otliT thing also." "It was nothing," blushed Marie. AVhllo they were talking the fairy had combed the young girl's hair, re moved, ber ragged clothes anil dressed her In a robs white nnd toft ns the summer clouds. "You must be llko the fairies while here," she said, as she led her to a mir ror. Mnrle scarcely recognised herself, She wns no larger than her attendant ber hair hung In burnished wares bout her waist; her dress was looped with penrls nnd coral and tiny sprays hung In her ears. She was then taken down ou Ivory staircase bordered with Kold, a door was thrown open nnd a footman called out, "The t-ortb-cblld!" and Mnrle found herself In a large room full or llttlo people. . Princes Lnllcnn, the eldest of the sieren little women, advanced t.t meat her. Taking hr hand ha led ber to the further part of tbw room, where was a pearl throne thickly tmiddcd with diamonds. On tho throne was the loveliest llttlo creature Mnrle ever bo held. Her dress was of tho tint of the Inner leaves of a blush rose, a tiny din. mond sparkled on her brow, nnd ft crys tal wand tipped with a blood red ruby wns In her mite of a hand. Tho prin cess bowed very low as she stopped be fore the throne. "Your gracious mnjesty," she snld. with nn enchanting blush, "this earth child was cast out into the bitter night because she befriended myself and sis ters. Tor that kind net we took the lib erty to bring her here, knowing that you nre tho friend of the deserving." There wns n murmur sweet ns the sound of the fountain's song at even from tho multitude of fairies, who said, with one voice, "Oh, beautiful Queen Altcen, friend of the deserving:" After the applause had died away the lovely queen arose, nnd said In n voice so sweet that Mario held her breath to listen: "You did quite right, my dear eons- Ins, Ladles Hep nnd Itnttertty, bring hither the scarfs woven from rain bows." This was a great honor, nnd tho seven sisters looked highly pleased nnd murmured grateful thanks ns they donned the scarfs, "And now," continued tho queen, "bring n scurf of moonbeams as a re ward to the earth-child for her kind ness." There wns a shout of approval from the fairies nt this, nnd, to Marie's won dor nnd delight tlie queen took n scarf that glinted llko inoonbennis on emer ald leaves, nnd throwing It over her (moulders, said: "As long ns you kepp this we will wntoh over you. And now, my lords nnd ladles, away to the dance." Folding doors were thrown open, nnd Mnrle snw n long table, bending be neath the most exquisite flowers nnd fruits, with dainty crystal dewdrops ' for drink In superbly traced cups. All was hilarity rud nilrlh. A liny chime of bells sonnd-'d, and, ns If by magic, t!e table disappeared, merry music thrilled the listening nir, and lovely couples whirled In the dance. A Fiunrt llttlo gentleman fairy in n violet suit bowed to Marie, nnd begged hr to dance the next set with him. Just ns they took their places Marie felt herself shaken violently, and open ing her eyes she saw her father bend ing anxiously over her. "My little .Marie," he exclaimed eag erly, "I feared you had gone to your dear mother. I lmve good news for you, dear," kissing her fondly; "I havo sworn never to taste another drop of drink again. Your I'nclc Manuel Is going to America, that glorious golden land, nnd we will go with him." Mario threw her nrms about bis nock, with n glnd burst of tears. "I nm so gladl" she cried Joyously. "This Is better thnn staying with tho fairies." And she told her wonderful dream or nd venture she scarcely knew which. Antone laughed merrily us he listened. He kept his word, and there Is not a hnppler pnlr now to he found than An. tone an', his little daughter. Wavcrle Mugnzlne. Money o Otijert.

"I have fed on the flesh of In elephant with gusto," one said. "It Is of a course grain, nnd In flavor it re sembles beef. Baked, the foot and tho trunk are the most desirable parts. Some men say baked elephant's foot tastes like a mixture of leather nnd glue, but I have never found it so un pleusant. I havo, with certain natives, used the fnt of the hippo for butter. and very rich nud powerful butter it makes. A rarity of rarities is tho mar row of a young giraffe. This tastes like terrapin fat. A friend of mine, a whaler, says that he has eaten and enjoyed the lKilled tongue, heart nnd liver of the walrus.

Time wns, says the ladles' notorial, .vhen English people, and especially lieu, bad a murked aversion to any thing like display, or, ns the children would express It, to "dressing up." It s to this dislike of nppcarlng consplc Jons that we owe the hideous uniform larb ot men both by day und night. But there Is now a very decided len iency In the other direction, nnd ihough It Is useless to hope that wc ihall ever return to anything like pic :uresque attire for man's ordinary wear, It Is gratifying to notice thut 5e Is displaying more willingness to lisport himself on occasions In apparel which better matches the very pic turesque dress of modern women. Without reaching to any extremes, women's dress has ben by slow, but very sure degrees, attaining to ns high i level of astractlveiiess ns It has ever reached. I'm1 though we now adopt co such mai l; -il styles as obtained, for .::am I.', in the Tudor or Jacobean periods, yet we have learned nowa days to adapt all modes to our use. with n happy blend In many cases of ilie oldest with the newest, nnd with egar.l. moreover, to ou:' individuality. Nothing better makes for picturesque effect, after all, than a slyle of costume if coiffure which specially suits Its wearer. The woman who makes nil ibsolut" Uomney Btudy in a simple vel vet gown, with n loose liehu of lace ind carelessly dressed hair thrown lack from her brow, would be passed without u second glance were she :.irb"d In what in ordinary terms might le described as the latest fashion: .vblle, on the other hum, n thoroughly iveil-mado tailor dress, as we now un-'.er.-itand It, will give distinction to nn itlier woman who would be nothi 'g better than a bundle of rags In the most faithfully copied gown of the K::i olre period. Looking back. In two or three b"i Ired years' time, to the women's dress )f 111? twentieth century, those who ueeeed us will probably arrive at th" Mm lnsion that In this matter at least we did show taste, and it is pleasing to find, as we say, that both men nnd women alike are just now displaying a very decided v. i'.lir.gness to make their Iress more picturesque on certain oc casions. Weddings have always given women nt least some scope In this ill ection, nlthnugh we can most of us remember the time when bridesmaids would no more have ventured to have lppeared In what would most certainly inve been described ns "fancy" dress han they would have thought of dniie ng hnnd in band up the aisle. Hut now her attendant maidens nre. from i picturesque point of view, always nore noticeable thnn the bride, nnd day ifter day there nre seen, In our fashlon ible churches, processions of brides iialds nnd pages, who, judging from heir fanciful nnd generally most taste 'ul costumes, might have stepped from Hie canvases of tho old masters. And he same laudable desire to make iretty plctnres seems to be Increaslng y growing upon the givers of smart en tertainments. The Modern Fremh filrl. I'ow nstoulsiied would the modern 1'rcnch girl bo were she told not to ake the lending part In conversation, lot to giggle loudly, nor to set her irms akimbo, nnd never to talk pri vately wfth n young gentleman! She vould think such recommendations lerfectly ridiculous as preventing nil lossible flirtations, for the art of Illrln don Is never at Its best unless prac Iced In private. But forty years ago, .vhen parents deemed that mnrrlago ,vas not a proper bubjoct for the houghts of their daughter.'), flirtation -even as a word wns unknown In I'rar.ce. At that time simplicity In Iress was the order of the day for oung maidens, and oven conferred n ertaln distinction, being carried as 'at us possible among the aristocracy, rii -re were upecla!

At ii glance it was easy to nseertalii y tho style of dress whether a young .vomnii was married or not, whereas it s by no means so easy now, tho same ntlns, velvets, fathers und jove's bo ng worn iilllce In boih cases.

Scrlbner's Magazine. Helectlng n Hecretarjr, I once heard a business man say that ho best secretary he ever had bp se eded wholly from her appearance. Dilrty women came In one rainy day u answer to an advertisement, Twen y looked dejected and sloppy, and ten f the twenty had forgotten their urn trolhis or overshoes. Flvo were over Iressed und had como In cabs. Four rere silly, glggllug little girls of flfteon ir so, and one came freshly groomed, alior mnde, with crisp linen, stout toots, ueat umbrella, and ber hair (ressed for windy, rainy weather. He elected the last without recouuuendu Ion, and found her Just what he bnd udged from her appenrauce a good voi ker and a wise associate. Of course, somu one of the dejected, ret and tired girls might by chance tare "panned out" an Ideal worker villi a few days' rest and a few woexs' Hilary for fresh clothes. Ability and real merit nre often lost In tho misery that comes from exhaustion nnd fail ure and fear. But the business man does not know these things. He is not blessed with second sight. He gets nt his decision from experience, not from prophetic visions, nnd he does not know thnt more thnn half the time the girl who looks cnrcloss Is cnreless. And so, in a competitive examination of workers, men ns well as women, the swift eye of the trained employer Is pleased with external charm.
