\ CHAPTER VHL
SHADOWS BEFORE.
Mrs. Wostmacott's-great meeting for
the enfranchisement of woman had pass
ed over, and it had been a triumphant
success. All the maids and matrons
of the southern suburbs had rallied at
hor summons; thero was an influential
platform, with Dr. Balthazar Walker in
the chair, and Admiral Hay Denver
among his more prominent supporters.
One benightiW male had como in from
the outside darkness and had jeered
from the farther end of the hall, but he
had beon called to order by the chair,
petrifiod by indignant glances from tho
unenfranchised around him and finally
escorted to tho door by Charles West
niacott. Fiery resolutions woro passed,
/to be forwarded to a large number
of leading statesmen, and tho meeting
broke up with tho conviction that a
Bhrewd blow had been struck for the
cause of woman.
But there was one woman at least to
whom the meeting and all that was con
nected with it had brought anything but
pleasure. Clara Walker watched with
a heavy heart tho friendship and closo
intimacy which had sprung up between
her father and tho widow. From week
to week it had increased until no day
over passed without their being together.
The coming meeting had been the excuso
for these continual interviews, but now
the meeting was over, and still the doc
tor would refer every point which rose to
the judgment of his neighbor. Ho would
talk, too, to his two daughters of her
strength of character, her decisive mind,
and of the necessity of their cultivating
her acquaintance and following her ex-
amplo, until at last it had become his
moßt common topic of conversation.
All this might have passed as merely
tho natural pleasuro which an elderly
man might take in the society of an in
telligent and handsome woman, but
thero wero other points which seemed to
Clara to give it a deeper meaning. Sho
could not forgot that when Charles
Wostmacott had spoken to her one night
he had alluded to the possibility of his
aunt marrying again. He must havo
known or noticed something before ho
would speak upon such a subject. And
then ngain Mrs. Westacott had herself
said that she hoped to change her stylo
of living Bhortly and tako ovor complete
ly new duties. What could that mean
except that sho expected to marry? And
whom? Sho seemed to soo few friends
outsido their own littlo circle. Sho must
J have alluded to her father. It was a
T hateful thought, and yet it must bo
faced.
One oveuing tho doctor had been rath
er late at his neighbor's. He Used to go
into the admiral's after dinner, but now
he turnod more frequently in the other
direction. When ho returned, Clara was
sitting alone in the drawing room read
ing a magazino. She sprang up as ho
cutorod, pushed forward his chair and
ran to fetch his slippers.
"You aro looking a littlo pale, dear,"
ho remarked.
"Oh, no, papa; 1 am very well."
"All well with Harold?"
"Yes. His iMirtnor, Mr, Pearson, is
still away, and he is doing all tho work."
"Well dono. Ho is suro to succeod.
Where is Ida?"
"In hor room, I think."
"She was with Charles Wostmacott on
tho lawn not vory long ago. Ho socms
very fond of her. Ho is not very bright,
tut I think ho will mako her a good hus
and."
"I am sure of it, papa. Ho is very
manly and reliable."
"Yos, I should think that ho is not tho
sort of man who goes wrong. Thero is
nothing hidden about him. As to his
brightness, it really does not matter, for
his aunt, Mrs. Wostmacott, is very rich
—much richer than you would think
from her stylo of living—and she has
mado him a hundsome provision."
"I am glad of that."
"It is between ourselves. I am hor
trustee, and so I know something of her
arrangements. And when aro you going
to marry, Clara?"
"Oh, papa, not for some time yet. Wo
have not thought of a date."
"Well, really, I don't know that thero
is any reason for delay. Ho has d com
petence, and it increases yearly. As long
as you aro quite certain that your mind
is made up"
■*-, "Oh, papal"
"Well, then, I really do not know why
there should be any delay. And Ida,
tqo, must be married within the next
Mfw months. Now, what I want to know
is what I am to do when my two littlo
companions run away from mo." Ho
spoke lightly, but his eyes wero grave as
he looked questiouingly at his daughter.
"Dear papa, you shall not be alone.
It will be years before Harold and I
think of marrying, and when we do you
must como and live with us."
"No, no, dear. I know that you mean I
what you say, but I have seen something
of the world, and I know that such ar
rangements never answer, Thero can
not be two masters in a house, and yet
at my ago ray freedom is very necessary
to me."
"But you would bo completely free."
"No, dear, you cannot be that if you
aro a guest in another man's house. Can
It you suggest no other alternative?"
■ "That we remain with you."
■ "No, no. That is out of tho question.
H Mrs. Westmacott herself says that a
KjAomau's first duty is to marry. Mar- .
however, should bo an equal part-
she poiptsout. I should wish I
you both to marry, but still I should like
a suggestion from you, Clara, as to what
| I should do."
j "But there is no hurry, papa. Let us
Wait. Ido not intend to marry yet."
j Dr. Walker looked disappointed.
"Well, Clara, if you can suggest noth
ing, I supposo that I must take the ini
tiative myself," said he.
"Then what do you propose, papa?"
j Sho braced herself as one who sees tho
i blow which is about to fall,
He looked at her and hesitated. "How
liko your poor dear mother you aro,
| Clara," he cried. "As I looked at you
then it was as if she had come back from
j tho grave." Ho stooped toward her and
kissed hor. "There, run away to your
sister, my dear, and do not troublo yonr
self aboutme. Notliingis settled yet, but
you will find that all will come right."
Clara went up stairs sad at heart, for
sho wus sure now that what she had
feared was indeed about to come to pass,
and that her father was going to ask
Mrs. Westmacott to be his wife. In her
| pure and earnest mind her mother's
I memory was enshrined as that of a saint,
and the thought that any one should take
her placo seemed a terriblo desecration.
Even worse, however, did this marriage
[ appear when looked at from tho point of
view of her father's future.
I Tho widow might fftscinato him by
I her knowledgo of the world, her dash,
: her strength, her unconventionality—all
I these qualities Clara was willing to al
low her—but she was convinced that she
J would bo unendurable as a life compan
ion. She had come to an ago when hab
its are not lightly to bo changed, nor was
sho a woman who was at all likely to at
| tempt to change them. How would a
[ sensitive man like her father stand the
constant strain of such a wifo, a woman
I who was all decision, with no softness
; and nothing soothing in hor nature?
j It passed as a more eccentricity when
! they heard of her stout drinking, her
cigarette smoking, her occasionalwhiffs
at a long clay pipe, her horsewhipping
of a drunken servant and her compan
ionship with the snake Eliza, whom she
: was in the habit of bearing about in her
pocket. All this would become unen
durable to her father when his first in
i fatuation was past. For his own sake,
I thon, as well as for hor mother's mem
ory, this match must bo prevented. And
yet how powerless she was to prevent itl
What could she do? Could Harold aid
her? Perhaps. Or Ida? At loast she
would toll her sister and seo what she
could suggest.
Ida was in her boudoir, a tiny little
tapestried room, as neat and dainty as
herself, with low walls hung with Imari
plaques and with pretty littlo Swiss
brackets bearing blue Kaga waro or tho
puro white Coalport china. In a low
chair beneath a red shaded standing
lamp sat Ida in a diaphanous evening
dress of mousseline do soie, tho ruddy
light tinging her sweet childlike faco and
glowing on her golden curls. She
sprang up as her sister entered and
threw her arms around her.
She puehed forward hie chair and ran to
fetch hie ellppere.
"Dear old Claral Come and sit down
here beside me. I have not had a chat
for days. But, oh, what a troubled facet
What is it then?" She put up her fore
finger and smoothed hor sister's brow
with it.
Clara pulled up a Btool, and sitting
down beside her sister passed her nrin
round her waist. "I am so sorry to
trouble you, dear Ida," sho said, "but 1
do not know what to do."
"Thoro's nothing tho matter with Har
old?"
"Oh, no, Ida."
"Nor with my Charles?"
"No, no."
Ida gave a sigh of relief. "You quite
frightoned me, dear," said sho. "You
can't think how solemn you look. What
is it, then?"
"I believe that papa intends to ask
Mrs. Westmacott to marry him."
Ida burst out laughing. "What can
havo put such a notion into your head,
Clara?"
"It is only too true, Ida. I suspected
it beforo, and ho himself almost told mo
as much with his own lips tonight. I
don't think that it is a laughing matter."
"Really, I could not help it. If you
had told me that those two dear old la
dies opposite, tho Misses Williams, were
both engaged you would not havo Bur
prised me more. It is really too funny."
"Funny, Ida? Think of any one tak
ing the place of dear mother."
But her Bister was of a more practical
and less sentimental nature. "I am
suro," said sho, "tliat dear inothsr would
liko papa, to do whatever would make
nun most nappy. We 6hall both be
away, and why should papa not please
himself?"
"But think how unhappy he will bo.
You know bow quiet ho is in his ways
and how even a little thing will upset
him. How could he live with a wifo who
would make his whole lifo a series of
surprises? Fancy what a whirlwind she
must bo in a house. A man at his ago
cannot change his ways. I am suro he
would be miserable."
Ida!s faco grew graver, and she pon
dered over the mutter for a few minutes.
"I really think that you are right, as
usual," said she at last. "I admire Char
ley's aunt very much, you know, and I
think that she is a very useful and good
person, but I don't think she would do
as a wife for poor quiet papa."
"But he will certainly ask her, and 1
really think that sho intends to accept
him. Then it would bo too late to in
terfere. We havo only a few days at
the most. And what can wo do? How
can we hope to mako him change his
mind?"
Again Ida pondered. "He has never
tried what it is to live with a strong
minded woman." said she. "If we could
only got him to realizo it in time I Oh,
Clara, I have it, I have it! Such a lovely
planl" Sho leaned back in her chair and
burst into a fit of laughter so natural
and so hearty that Clara had to forget
her troubles and join in it.
"Oh, it is beautiful!" sho gasped at
last. "Poor papa! What a timo he will
havo! But it'B all for his own good, as
he used to say when wo had to bo pun
ishod when wo were little. Oh, Clara, I
do hopo your heart won't fail you."
"I would do anything to save him,
dear."
"That's it. You must steel yourself
by that thought."
"But what is your plan?"
"Oh, lam so proud of it. Wo will
tiro him forever of tho widow and of
all emancipated women. Let mo seo,
what are Mrs. Westmacott'B main ideas?
You have listened to her more than I.
Womon should attend ICSB to household
duties. That is ono, is it not?"
"Yes, if they feel they have capabil
ities for higher things. Then sho thinks
that every woman who has leisure should
tako up the study of some branch of
scionce, and that as far as possiblo ev
ery woman should qualify herself for
somo trade or profession, choosing for
preference those which havo been hither
to monopolized by men. To enter tho
others would only be to intensify the pres
ent competition."
"Quite so. That is glorious!" Her
bluo eyos wero dancing with mischief,
and Bhe clapped herhandsin her delight.
"What else? She thinks that whatever
a man can do a woman should bo allowed
to do also—does she not?"
"She says so."
"And about dress? Tho short skirt
and the divided skirt aro what sho bo
lieves in."
"Yes."
"We must get in somo cloth."
"Why?"
"We must make ourselves a dress
each. A brand new, enfranchised, eman
cipated dress, dear. Don't you seo my
plan? Wo shall act up to all Mrs. West
macott's views in every respect and im
provo them when wo can. Then papa
will know what it is to live with a wo
man who claims all her rights. ,Oh,
Clara, it will be splendid."
Her milder sister sat speechless before
so daring a scheme. "But it would be
wrong, Ida!" sho cried at last.
"Not a bit. It is to save him."
"I should not dare."
"Oh, yes, you would. Harold will
help. Besides, what other plan havo
you?"
"I havo none."
"Then you must take mine."
"Yes. Perhaps you are right. Well,
we do it for a good motive."
"You will do it?"
"I do not seo any other way."
"You dear, good Claral Now I will
show you what you aro to do. Wo must
not begin too suddenly. It might excito
suspicion." "
"What would you do, then?"
"Tomorrow wo must go,to Mrs. West
macott and sit at her feet and learn all
her views."
. "What hypocrites we shall feel!"
"We shall be her newest and most en
thusiastic converts. Oh, it will bo such
fun, Clara. Then wo shall make our
plans and send for what wo want and
begin our new life."
"I do hope that wo shall not havo to
keep it up long. It seems so cruel to door
papa."
"Cruel! To save himl"
"I wish I was suro that wo wero doing
right. And yet what elso can wo do?
Well, then, Ida, tho dio is cast, and wo
will call upon Mrs. Westmacott tomor
row."

' FRANCES WILLARD BREAKS DOWN.
Her Great Efforts For Temperance Havo
Shattered Her Health.
i Letters received from London by the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
, state that Frances Willard has entirely
' broken down e.s tho result of her throe
i years' hard work and tho loss of her
i mother last year. Her physicians have
i ordered her to Switzerland for the snm
rnor and rofu.se to allow her to carry out
her plan of taking part in tho world's
congresses at the exposition. Some
i doubts ore expressed as to her recovery.
Miss Willard is a born leader of wom
; en, and her inspiration and influence
[ will bo much missed in the groat tem
i peranco movement of which she was the
organizer and leading spirit. For tho
, past year Bhe has been with Lady Henry
; Somerset in England, whero sho was re
ceived with great enthusiasm on all pnb
, lio occasions and spoke almost constant
ly before crowded audiences. Her home
, in America on Lako Michigan near
Evanston was called Best Cottage,
. though there in her "den" she worked
from 0 in tho morning until evening
planning her campaigns, watching and
directing each new movement in the
temperanco world with the precision of
a military commander. With her work
ed, too, a small army of secretaries,
typewriters and stenographers, each ono
of them a devoted enthusiast in tho
work.
As president of tho World's W. C. T.
U. sho kopt up direct communication
with temperanco workers all over tho
world from China to Natal, from Lou
don to San Francisco, from Ottawa to
Sidney. Besides this, accompanied by
her faithful privato secretary, she made
prolonged tours among the American
unions, of which she is also president.
Whilo organizing theso unions Miss
Willard personally visited not only ev
ery stato and territory in the United
States, but nlso every town of 10,000 in
habitants, and as a result tho associa
tion of tomperanco women iirnrganized
with a completeness found in no other
philanthropic bedy.
At tho conventions held in Boston last
autumn delegates were present from ev
ery part of America, and representatives
of all the countries in the world took
part.
Miss Willard was born in New York
stato in 1039 and taken to Wisconsin
whilo still in infancy to bo brought up
with her brother in a happy "appren
ticeship to naturo" and amid tho refine
ment of an exceptionally cultured and
happy home. To this early lifo may bo
traced most of licr independence and
originality of thought, her quaint and
forcible analogies and metaphors in
speaking and writing. It is interesting
to read of her bitterness and rebellion
whon they braided up her long hair,
lengthened her gowns and taught her
tho restrictions which conventionality
demands of women. Prophetic of her
present independence of theory, her be
lief in the equality of tho sexes, was the
little girl's wretchedness at being re
strained from the freedom enjoyod by
her brothers, whose companion she had
been from childhood. At 18 sho entered
collego and graduated with unusual dis
tinction, and after traveling for a time
in Europe sho was appoiuted dean of the
Woman's college at Evanston.
In the early days of the temperance
movement sho quixotically gave up all
advantageous work and allied herself
with tho little band of temperanco wom
en devoid of means or of experience.
For sorno time sho worked incessantly
with no salary, supporting horself as
best she could. It was her mothor, prac
tical as well as zealous in good works,
who wroto to tho enthusiast, calling at
tention to tho fact that her clothing was
nearly worn out, her health well nigh
exhausted, and that tho laborer was cer
tainly worthy of her hiro. Since thon
tho society to whoso servico sho has do
voted her life, her magnificent energy
and her exceptional talent have recog
nized her services in the regular way.—

A Nice Way to Servo Oranges.
There is no doubt that half tho pleasant
flavor of tho orange is destroyed by the
difficulty of eating it gruccfully, although
that is a feat of which, like building an
open firo, every one imugines his method
is the best. So great a terror does an
orango inspire in a woman at luncheon,
with the fatal example which has so
often been told hanging over her of the
mun who broke on engagement when ho
saw his sweetheart hacking at one, that
tills delightful food is generally tabooed.
Ono feels tempted to follow the example
of the dear old lady who was in the habit
j of retiring to her room with an orango
and locking the door after her.
But the mystery was lately solved at a
luncheon, and tho solution will bo hailed
with delight by housekeepers. Tho or
anges wore peeled and sliced and brought
on tho table cut up fino in punch glasses,
in which thero was a great deal of juice.
In each glass thero was cracked ice and
sugar, and this delicious combination,
which embodies all tho delights of tho
fruit, with nono of its disadvantages, is
eaten with a spoon.—Chicago Herald.

Old Fashion* Revived.
Thero can be no doubt that the pre
vailing fashions havo been greatly in
fluenced by the recent exhibition of the
arts de la fenmio held at the Palais do
l'lndustrie, Paris, and which has proved
such a groat attraction to the feminine
population.
In all the now "creations" we notice
many innovations borrowed from the
marvelous retrospective exhibits which
havo caused quite a revolution in modes
of dressing. Even in tho wonderful
draperies of the Tanagra, dating from
before the Christian era, one can find
suggestion. The splendid collection of
ancieut prints, ornaments, paintings,
showing all the different styles in toilets,
hairdreeaing, etc., have proved a great
boon to all our dressmakers and mil
liners, who havo called forth many an
idea for tho coming season. And wo
shall not be far out in saying that tho
now toilets will hear the impress of by
gono days, hut with adaptations to date.
Whon in tho samo day ono can wear,
without in any way breaking the laws

botween the styles of Louis XIII, Louis
XV, 1880, tho first and second empires—
tho most fastidious woman must bo sat
isfied. At last fashion seems to havo re
solved tho difficult problem of pleasing
everybody, and having attainod this ex
cellent result must for a time remain ex

Su.rottU and Lotto, the Actrcus.
Lotta was rejected by Sorosis not bo
cause she is an actress—Sorosis includes
a number of actresses—but hccanso she
has kicked her way to fame. It is nil
along the line of the converted darky's
philosophy, "You may dance, but you
mustn't cross your legs."
The incident is really no ono's concern
savo that of tho ladies involved, for a
club which knows no obligations outsido
is free to confine its membership to con
genial people. Nevertheless Miss Crab
treo is such a respectable, blameless lit
tle woman thnt every one feels for her,
and a great many aro asking if all tho
members of Sorosis, even those who have
not been forced by circumstances on tho
stage, but who may have cnt a broad
swath in society and possibly In tho
divorco courts, enjoy such universal ad
miration as does the despised and reject

Sho can find consolation in tho fact
that somo very excellent people on both

Take Along Plenty of Wraps.
While sitting In tho corner of a hotel
parlor tho other day I overheard an in
structive little lecture which I am going
to repeat. It was delivered by a Chicago
woman who was advising somo friends
what to wear in tho Windy City.
"You don't need uny 'medium' things
at all," sho declared emphatically, "bo
causo we never havo any medium weather
in Chicago. You wont a few thin ones,
and all tho wraps you own. On a hot
day at the fair grounds you will wear as
littlo clothing as conventionality per
mits. If you mean to get home in tho
middlo of tho afternoon, you may trust
tho weather implicitly. If you aro going
to bo out till 6 o'clock, you want to take
j-our sealskin coat. I havo never yet
found a wrap that was too heavy when
tho breezo blew in frem the lake. Get
a special pair of soft yellow shoes for tho
fair and got them at least a slzo and a
half too large. Tho Chicago foot is a
climatic development, from which the
longest southern podigroo will not pro
tect you."—Kate Field's Washington.
Ideas of Several Purls Women.
A fortnight ago tho Princess do Loon,

than the great Bernhardt seated herself
boforo o table whereon stood an antiquo

And a few days earlier another great
lady gavo a hall costumo at which tho
servants woro costumes of tho Venetian
