The Honorable Willinm Jarvis, state senator nml fniuliiliito for governor, wb cnlliiiR tipou bin betroUteil, Mix Lama iIiicUhoii. Tlie Honorable Wil linm wits generally nlluilml to n it "rising young limn" nml the future Mrs. .1 iii-vis n a "Hiitible Kill." The match, therefore, vim niljuilged "very suitable." The two Jini'ties lnnst con cerneil gave little thought to its snit nbility, but wore very sura that it bncl been mnile in heaven anil they thorn selves thereby absolved from all re sponnibity for it. lint bernnse Miss Jackson was a sensible girl she wits interested in the Honorable William as statcsmnn as well as lover. Therefore she was not content with the brief answer, "busi ness," which he made to her inquiry as to why on this particular evening he was rather absent-miuded and less joyously happy than usual. It was not in her nature to be denied any in formation which she earnestly wished to possess, and so, before long, she bad learned just what was worrying her future lord but present vassal. The lending newspaper in the north ern part of the state.it appeared, being independent in politics, hud so far re fused to commit itself to any guberna torial candidute. This greatly disap pointed Jarvis.who hud confidently ex pected its support. In fact, he was afraid that if his opponent w as en dorsed by the Webster Whig bis own chances for victory would I o parcep tibly lessened; while on the other band, if the Whig would place the name of Willinm Jut-vis at the bend of its editorial columns he did not see how lie could be defeated. All this having been dutifully ex plained to Miss Laura, she wrinkled her forehead charmingly for perhaps three minutes and then announced with calm decision that she had solved the problem. "And now, Will," she said, "if I get the Whig to come out for you what re ward of merit do I get?" "I will mnrry you a month sooner than we had planned," promised Jar vis, with remarkable readiness. "Impudence! Did yon never hear, 'Married in hnste, repent at leisure?' But serionsly now, will yott make one appointment just as I wish it made, assuming, of course, that the person is entirely competent?" "Why.yos," assonted Jarvis, some what slowly. "I don't approve of ante-election pledges as a general thing, but I think 1 am justified in making a a exception iu this case. Let's officially seal tlie agreement. " Which they did most satisfactorily. 1 A few days Inter the editor and manager of the Webster Whig were ngaged in anxious consnltatiou. "It's no une, "the latter was saying, "I've telegraphed everywhere I can think of, and there does not seem to be a linotype operator ont of work from one end of the country to the other. We'll have to rig up some frames and get three or four of the old hand compositors back." "But that will make the paper look like the dickens," objected young Willis, the editor, "and it will increase expenses, too." "Hare," assented the manager;"but what else can we do? Von tell." Just iu time to save Willis from the necessity of confessing his incapacity there came a knock at the door. "Come in," called the manager without turning his bend. . Bnt Willis was facing the door, and as it opened to admit a very pretty girl the celerity with which he removed bis feet from the table impelled his partner to do likewise." "Excuse me," began the visitor, "but I understand that yon wish to hire a linotype operator." "We do," chorused the two men. "And so I have come to ask for the place," continued the young lady. "I have not had much experience, but I can average tliiity tive hundred au hour, and they tell me that my proofs are remarkably clean." The editor kicked the manager tinder the table, aud the latter replied without hesitation: "We'll take you on trial anyway. I don't mind telling you that you have come iu the nick of time. We do need an operator aud badly. Uow soon can yon begin work?" "This minute," replied the girl, promptly. "Very well," said the manager and, with a few instructions, bowed her ont. "She'll do," he remarked to bis partner as he resumed his seat aud elevated bis feet ouce more. "Gee! I should think she would!" asserted Willis more forcibly than eleg rntly. The new hand did not fail to equal the expectation of her employers. Hlie was quietly courteous to those in the oflice, men aud girls alike, but .she "minded her -own business," as the foreman put it, and, perhaps for that reason, was more efttcieut than the average of the operators. , The office boy, an irreverent youth Who alluded to Willis as "Billons" AND DREAMERS.

"The what?" ejnculuted Willis in nmneniptit. "The linotype lady. Thnt's whnt she is. I know 'em when I see one, an' she's the real article." Ho she was christened, and tho name stuck, to the envy of the other girls. About a week after this addition to the force, Willis opened the Whig ono evening and glanced first, as was bis custom, at the editorial pnge. For perhaps half a minute he stared in blank amazement. Then he dropped the paper and executed a war dance. In response to his frantic calls the mnnager hastened into the inner edi torial sanctum aud calmly inquired what was the matter. "Has the foreman dropped out another line in the make-up or did your typewriter go off its feet and make a mistake for which yon wish to blame the proofreader? What ails you, anyway?" "Have you looked at the editorial page?" asked Willis. "Why, no, what's wrong with it?" "Did you write or cause to be writ ten that Jarvis editorial?" "What Jarvis editorial? I wrote none and know nothing about any. I thought we were to be neutral iu that fight," "That was the way I understood it, " said Willis, more puzzled now than angry, "but bore is the strongest kind of an editorial in tonight's Whig ad vocating the election of Jarvis. If you dou't know anything about it and I don't know anything about it who does know about it? And what are we going to do about it?" "First, let's find out who does know about it," very practically suggested the manager. "What does the proof reader say?" But the proofreader had never seen the editorial until they showed it to her. Hhe was positive that she had not read the proof of it, and the copy holder supported her by afllrining that uo copy for it had passed through hor hands. When the foreman who made up the paper was questioned he did remember placing the type iu the forms and rend ing the headline, but that was as fur as his information went. And the as sistant foreman, who gave out the copy, made the mystery deeper than ever by asserting that no such editorial matter had beeu handled by him. The "devil," who took the proofs, was equally certain that he bad had noth ing to do with that particular lot of type. The linotype operators were next in order for questioning, and among them Willis expected to And the solution of the puzzle, for it was only too evident that the troublesome editorial had been put in type by somebody. But one after another of the operators denied all knowledge of the matter until the entire roll had been called without the faiutest glimmering of light. Willis noticed that when he approached the linotype lady she was very pale and apparently disturbed, bubftvheu he asked, "Did you see the copy for this editorial, Miss?" she suHwcred so promptly: "No, sir," and met his gaze so unflinchingly that he had not the heart to doubt her. All investigation having thus proved fruitless, the editor and the manager shut themselves in again for further discussion. "The next question is," said Willis, "what shall we do about it?" "It looks to mo," replied the man ager, "us if we ought to make the best of it and adopt Jarvis as our candi date." "But that is probably just what the person wnuts who put up this job on us," objected Willis. "Precisely," assented the manager; "but what other course is open to us? If, without explanation, we oppose Jarvis, we shall be called turncoats, weather-vanes and other choice names. If, on the other band, we tell just what has happenedaud give it as our reasou for opposing Jarvis, who will believe us? No one. Like a great deal of truth,' it is absurdly improbable. Now you aud I know that Jarvis is not a bad fellow aud that he -will make a pretty good governor. He differs from us on some points, I know, but perhaps we can bring him around to our way of thinking after a while.. He is one of those men whom it is easier to lead thun to drive, anyway. Now what do yon say?" Willis did not fancy the idea at all, but the longer he poudered the further away he found himself from any other way out of the diflloulty. Ho he yielded gracefully aud from that mo ment until the eud of the campaign wroto vigorously aud woll in Jut-vis support. More than once in that time the linotype la'.y,with a piece of editorial copy before her, stopped to read it over a second and a third time. And anyone who had happened to be watching her would hare wondered at the smile of mingled triumph, coquetry aud hap piness that tit tip her face ou those oc casions. Ilntore long, however, the linotype lady resigned her place. The supply of operators bad become once more equal to the demand, aud as soou as she learned the fact she prepared to bid the Whig good-by. The foreman, the mnnager and the editor all pro tested, and even the other operators, in spite of their occasional jenlousy, wore sorry to lose her. The linotype Indy said that she was sorry to go, which was true, but that she had an opportunity to engage in a line of woik which she liked even better, and that also was true. As said lino of work was the props ration of an elaborate and beautiful trousseau for her own usp, any woman can understand how even the sensible Miss Jackson could find no employ ment in the world more to her taste. "How did you do it?" asked Jarvis on the first opportunity, referring t the Whig, which ho held in his hand and which at tho head of its editorial page announced in bold type: "For governor, William Jarvis." Having secured his solemn promise "never to toll," his betrothed satis fied bis curiosity. "You remember that first editorial in your favor?" she asked. "No one knew or could find out how it got into tho paper, but since it was there aud in the whole edition the editor and the mnnager decided that It was best to stick it ont and advocnto your election to the best of their ability. As you knew, that is what theyare doiug.uud I cull it very nice of them. "How did thnt first editorial get in? Well, I'll tell you that, too. One noon I waited iu the dressing room until everyone was gone and then slipped back to my machine. My thoughts were and had been so full of you and your candidacy that it took but a few minutes for me to put thnt editorial in type even without copy." "You menu that you made it tip as you set it?" queried Jarvis with ad miration. "Just that. When it was done I took a proof, glanced through it hasti ly, made a few corrections and put the type on the 'bank' with some other editorial matter. The foreman was iu a hurry when he came to make it up and merely glanced at the bending. Heeiug thnt it was double-leaded he placed it, vory lightly, as the leader of the. day. "I was a good deal scared while the mysterious editorial was being inves tigated, for I really did not want to tell a downright lie. But Mr. Willis was kind enough to put his inquiry iu such a way that I could answer it in the negative without the slightest strain on my conscience. "Aud now, when you are elected, ns of course you will be, yon must not forget your promise about letting me make an appointment." "It shall be my first official duty," assented Jarvis, "but may I not know who is to be appointed to what?" "Will you promise to keep this a se cret also? Well, then, I wnut yon to. appoint Willis state priuter. The place is worth about live thousand dollars a year, isn't it? He was very good to me, you see; in fact, they all were, but he especially. Of course.he knows nothing about this plan. I wish to surprise him as much as I did you, and him, too, with that editorial. May I?" . Jarvis said "yes" very readily.being considerably relieved to find that the appoiutment which lie baa promised was to be thus worthily bestowed. - And so, when it was Governor Jar vis by twenty thousand plurality, one of tho first acts of the now chief ex ecutive was to invite Willis to call upon him. The young editor, some what surprised at the message, made the trip as requested, and his surprise was increased when the governor told him that he had beeu selected for the place of state printer. "I wish to say, sir," explaiued Wil lis after a moment's thought, "that if your choice is based on the Whig's po sition during the campaign, you are making a mistake. For the paper's support yon are not indebted to me." "Indeed!" exclaimed Jarvis. "To whom then?" "That I do not know," confessed Willis, and went on to tell the story which the governor had heard before. "That is a curious and interesting incident," said the latter, gravely, but with a twinkle in his eye. "The posi. tion of your paper, however, had little to do with my choice of you to be public priuter. That was mainly brought about through the influence of a lady." "A lady?" ejaculated Willis. "Im possible! I have no woman friend who can have influence with yon, and if I had I could not accept a position secured in such a way." "Wait!" commanded Jarvis. "You are altogether too hasty in your state ments and yottr conclusions. It may help to solve your difficulties if I make you acquainted with my wife." With somewhat suspicious' timeli ness the door opened, aud a very smil ing youug woman entered. "Mrs. Jarvis," said the governor, "may I make yott acquainted with my friend, Mr. Willis? Perhaps, how ever, he already kuows you as " "The linotype lady," said Willis and Mrs, Jarvis in chorus. Waverley Magazine. Vrlro of Manila Ham. Ham is high in Manila.

The new shirt waists are not so very differ ent from those of InBt year after all.

The inch-wide stripe is seen, but much smarter are the hnlf inch wide stripes of color alternating, with hair-line stripes of color dividing an inch-wido stripe of white. Fine, firm Madras is the best material for well-made waists, but silk and linen, muslin and gingham, 'are used.

A Stylish Combination. A stylish combination of silk pop lin, velvet and liberty satin is illus trated in the large engraving, by May Manton, in three shades of violet. The pattern provides for extra un-der-arm gores whioh are especially ad vantageous in diminishing the propor tions of a too generous figure. The full vest portions are arranged upon lining fronts that have double bust darts and olose invisibly in the oentre. The fronts are fitted by deep single bust darts and are reversed at the front edge to form pointed lapels, widest at the shoulder and gradually tapering toward the lower edge. The backs are trimly adjusted by the UBual number of seams, over which a seamless back fits smoothly aoross the shoulders with the fulness at the lower edge laid in overlapping plaits that are firmly tanked down be low the waist line. The neok is fin ished with a elose standing collar. The sleeves, of fashionable propor tions, are two-seamed, the fulness at the top being arranged in gathers over fitted linings, while the wrists aud lower edge of basque aro finished with bands of velvet. Tho mode is adapted to silk or wool fairies. The veBt can be fashioned iu white or colored satin overlaid with mousseline, lace, spangled or jetted gauze. Cheoked and figured taffetas make pretty vests of this description, while the garniture is invariably rib bon, galoon, braided or jetted passe menterie. To make this basque for a lady of medium size will require one and three-fourth yards of material forty lour inobes wide. Bloat Eipenaty of AU. The most expensive of all waists are those of unout velvet, made with a yoke and narrow vest of laee, and be low the yoke a trimming on the velvet of pailettes of different colors and a border ribbon. These waists have W 0 rorrjLin Tirr-n or rhiiit wAtsT. b )t hASillUN.Cf small sleeves, with pointed cuffs, eom plotoly covered with pailnttes and the ribbon trimming. Few block silk or satin waists nre worn exocpt by peo ple who are in mourning. When they are worn they must always have a bright tie or some Ince at the throat. The satin ones look particularly welt when they have rows of the cording put on the bias. The cording seems to relieve the dead black of the satin. A heavy qnality of blnek satin should never be used; It is too stiff and un yielding the liberty satin is a good material for anything of this sort. Popular Tinted Fonlsril. The materials that are specially popular for the warmer days of the season nre delicately tinted and pat terned foulards, varions kinds of soft catton goods, fory fine cashmeres and dresses entiroly formed of laoe to be worn over foundations of either black or white. Black laco is used over black silk and whito lace over white. Few combinations of color are per mitted. Bnsqiip Are ItnvlriHl. Basques nre coining in again, and many uew blouses nre made with this part to be worn outside. Basques of coats are still quite short, bnt will bo longer as the spiing advances. Hhort basques, scolloped out and finished with rows of stitching, are smart and effective for walking jackets. Military Cycling !ntutne. Military cyoling gowns are one of the fancies iu Paris. The skirt and coat are of dark bine cloth, trimmed with narrow gold braid. The jacket has a piping aud facing of red, and the whole is crowned by a dashing mili tary cap.

A Favored Handkerchief. Cream and brown linen handker chiefs, edged with cream lace and in some instances hemstitched with bright red, are novel and very much in favor. Short Shoulder Cape. The specialty of this season's models REVE113 AND FULL VEST. will apparently be the use of short shoulder capes, coming from the col lar and standing out slightly over the shoulders. Some times only one little cape may bo used, or there may be three or four. These are lined with silk and piped to matoh, while they may be either plain, embroidered or overlaid with delicate tracery of bead work. A single shoulder cape of rather coarse lace will also be much in vogue. Sleeves still continue to be like the skirts, skin-tight and very long. As to coats for early spring wear these may either be short, with very abbreviated basques out away in ottrving outlines over the hips, or else three-quarter length, with the basque sloping from the front to the back. Lace is to be very much worn, espe cially in conjunction with any soft light cloth. The favorite form of skirts has no seam in the back and CAPS FOB A LADY. grows gradually more flowing in out line from just above the kuees to the feet.
