A PATTERN OF VIRTUE.

WONDER how
lIT many people
■J bridge, looking
down upon the
ever-moving
river, and feel
ing themselves
irresistibly at
tracted by the
weird fascina
tion of its cruel
waters! Hut one
cannot wondei
at the eerie in
fluence it ex
erts upon the miserable. One moment's
nerve—one plunge—one splash—a short
struggle—and the stress and angu'sh
of life are left behind!
And the Hereafter, what of it? It is
truly an inscrutable puzzle. Hut "the
sudden recollection that an account of
earthly doings may be required of us
in another world has nerved many a
desperate victim of misery to furthei
endurance, and cheated Father Thames
of much of his prey.
It was different with Lucy Mark
ham. She was so desperate, so despair
ing, and so wildly reckless, that noth
ing but the forcibly detaining arms
which I flung around her would have
prevented her from jumping into the
river, and putting an end to a young
lite that had only seen seventeen suin-
"Let ine go!" she shrieked. "How
dare you hinder me? Can I not do as I
like with myself?"
"No." I panted, as I vainly strove to
avoid the blows with which the fran
tic girl sought to release herself from
my grusp. "1 will not let you go until
you promise that you will not put an
end to your life."
"Let ine pro!" fihe repeated. "I will
do as I like! All the world has forsaken
me, and I owe it no duty now. You
can't hold me much longer, and you
shall see how soon 1 will eud it all."
"Never! If I don't get your promise, I
will scream for help, and then you will
be locked up until your senses come
back to you."
My determination had its effect. She
ceased to struggle, and looked solemnly
at me with big, lovely eyes, to which
the pale light of the moon seemed to
give an uncanny glitter.
"Who are you?" she asked, "that you
should so concern yourself about the
fate of a stranger?"
"1 am a friend of humauity, I hope."
"Humanity! My God! How much hu
manity has my short life met with?
And what sort of a specimen of humarf
ity do you suppose me to be?"
"Unfortunate; that is evident. Not
naturally depraved, I am sure. The
victim of some scoundrel, I iinagino. A
fitting subject for help and counsel.
That is certain."
"Help and counsel! Oh, how I have
prayed for them! and now it is too late!'
lJuti saw that 1 had conquered. The
fierceness of the girl's frenzy had
passed, and the crisis in her fate was
over, l'oor child! how my heart bled
for her! It is sad to witnoss despair at
anytime. Hut saddest of all is it to
recognize the insatiate ghoul on the
face of those to whoui life should just
be opening wide its portals of joy.
"Perhaps 1 can afford you help and
counsel," I said, soothingly. "People
would never find themselves utterly
forsaken, if they only knew to whom
to apply in their need. Tell mo about
yourself. It will relievo you. What is
your name, and where do you live?"
"My name," was the bitter answer,
"has been disgraced, and I will not add
to my folly by involving my family in
my disgrace. As for my home, it is
tru y a magniilccnt one. The air, the
sky, the water and the rouring noises
of civilization are all mine to enjoy ad
libitum. Why, lam quite rich!"
As the stranger made the last re
mark, she lost her self restraint, an' l
"LET ME GO!"
Robbed with hysterical violence. I felt
very muck relieved at this outburst, for
1 knew that though it would probably
leavo the girl faint and exhausted, it
would also leave her in a more gentle
and pliable frame of mind.
My judgment proved correct, and I
was presently fully confided in. It was
the old story of blind -trust and delib
erate betrayal, and is soon told. Lucy
Markham had boon well educated and
delicately reared, but was without
relatives or near friends at the time I
found her. Her mother had died
eighteen months before this. The pen
ury consequent upon the previous death
of the father had been partly met by
disposing of thefurniture aud other ef
fects, and when Lucy was left unpro
tected, she was also quite without
means.
Hut she meant to be very industrious
and attentive to her duties and quite
expected to earn her living easily in
London. So she migrated from the
quiet little Surrey village whero she
had seen so much sorrow to seek and
l to find employment in one of the
greatest hives of wickedness the world
had ever known, to wit— London.
When her employer began to pay he?
little attentions she felt fluttered.
When ho requested lior to observe the
strictest secrecy regarding- his stealth,
ily-bestowed attention she believed
his representation that her fellow em
ployes would be spitefully jealous if
they suspected which way the wind
was blowing. When he took her to u
pretty house she never doubted his as
sertion that marriage would follow im
mediately upon her transference
thither, and it was with a feeliug of
rapturous pride that she obeyed his in
junctions to the letter and allowed her
self to be introduced to the servant as
"Mrs. Milliard," "just for the look of
the thing," as Mr. Collinson said.
Asked what the servant would think
of her being called "Mrs. Collinson"
soon, the specious schemer replied that
the servant really knew all particulars,
and that it was the neighbors for whose
benefit the little temporary deception
was intended.
But it soon transpired that Lucy her
self was the object of deception. The
self-styled Mr. Maynard had ever some
excuse ready for putting off the mar
riage until his victim felt herself hope
lessly compromised. The servant was
his willing tool, and when he got tired
of his toys he had no difficulty in get
ting the servant to help him further
in his rascally work. The latter con
trived to tell Lucy that all the neigh
bors already looked down upon her,
and that she, being kept by a man to
whom she was not married, was con
-Mi

flidcrcd beyond the pale of respectabil
ity. Innocent the girl was. Hut who
would believe her protestations to that
effect? In the face of her apparent
guilt no one would do it
"It's no use crying over spilt milk,"
said the servant "The master will bo
kind and generous to you as long as he
likes you. Hut you will have to give
up such a notion as marrying so rich a
man as-he is. Take my advice, and get
all you can out of hirn while you have
the chance. He'll soon fall in lovo
with somebody el3e."
Lucy's heartbroken threat to expose
her betrayer only provoked the de
rision of the servant
"You would very likely get locked
up for attempted blackmailing," sho
said. "lie has been too careful for
such a greenhorn as you to circumvent
him. lie has never been here to sou
either you or tho house except after
dark, and nobody would believe you if
you said Mr. Maynard was Mr. Collin
son. He is supposed to have nearly
broken his heart when his wife died
and if over anybody was looked upon
by tho worl l as a pattern of virtue, it ii
the man whom you, a bit of a shop
girl, expected to marry you. You
would only get yourself laugliod at and
despised. So take my advice, and don't
be fool enough to fly in tho face of for
tune yet."
Even after those revelations, the
poor child could hardly believe in tho
utter basoucss of her betrayer. Hut
in her next interview with him she was
soon convinced of the fact thatt he
man whom she, in common with tho
rest of tlie Avorld, regarded as a pattern
of virtue, was, in reality, a monster of
deceit and vico.
That night she escaped from her
pretty homo, and from then until I
saved her from self destruction she ha I
undergone all manner of rebuffs, dis
appointments and privations, which
were enough to drive any other modest
girl to the refuge of the wretched.
I found a temporary home for Lucy
and promised to put an end to her
troubles in some way or other. Nor did
I doubt my ability to do this. Lucy
believed an appealer a throat of expos
ure to be equally vain weupons to uso
against Mr. Collinson, but I was more
worldly wise and more sure of success.
I saw that as yet the girl was not fit to
cope with tho world, and 1 determined
to make the "Pattern of Virtue" pro
vide for her comfort. In this determi
nation Lucy's own guileless and simple
nature aided mo. Though tenacious of
her honor she dtd not recoil from the
idea of compelling Mr. Collinson to pay
for his deception, as many a girl of
more vigorous mind whose feelings had
been outraged would have done.
1 confess to feeling more than slight
ly malicious when 1 went to interview
tho great draper and clothier,who soon
found that he had a much more expe
rienced woman than simple little Lucy
to deal with. Ilis dismay when I quiet
ly laid the whole array of facta before
him and proved the strength of my
position, was comical to witness. At
first he tried to frighten me with his
bogie reputation as a pattern of virtue.
Hut l had several cards up ray sleeve,
and as I played them, one by one, ho
realized that if I were to make a public
exposure of ouly one-half tho seedy
facts I had been able, with tho aid of
my colleagues, to ru' up against him,
the world would know him in all his
carnal hideousncss, and a va3t num
ber of people wouli take their custom
elsewhere.
Before 1 had done with him 1 con
vinced him of the expediency of provid
ing liberally for Lucy for at least tivo
yeqj-s to come, and I declined to be sat
isfied with less than three hundred per
annum for that period. It was a bitter
pill for him to swallow, but he saw no
other way out of the cmbroglio into
which his scoundrelly nature had
brought him, aud I carried my point

DIiESDEN LUNCHEON.
It la All the Vogue for Spriugtim J
Entertainments.
! A Delightful Combination of the Dalit!y
with the Elegant—Every Dish, Cup o -
Raueer ysed Must Re of Genu
ine Dresden China.
A very dainty and flowery style of
luncheon is the vogue for springtime
; entertainments, and into its scheme
enter all the features, each and every
one, of the pretty table and its setting
| forth. This is known as the Dresden
1 luncheon.
First of all it is imperative that the
menu be as simple and limited as good
taste will allow.
Five courses, or six, including cof
fee, are now considered sufficient for
the most elegant and formal luncheon
party. A hostess bears in inind that it
is supposedly a slight midday meal
that she is serving to guests who
have breakfasted late and whose din
ner in the evening will be more or less
elaborate and substantial.
Bouillon, game, an entree, a salad,
dessert and coffee, is the accepted
menu.
With this most sensible innovation
of simplicity care is taken that the ap
pointments of service and tabic deco
ration arc as light and daiuty as the re
past. That they are very handsome
and exquisite in detail does not mean
that the effect of simplicity is not se
cured in peffection.
The Dresden luncheon is considered
to combine the dainty with the ele
gant more delightfully than any other
design of artistic entertainments yet
seen The keynote is the blending
everywhere upon the table of the del
icate Dresden china colors, blue, piuk,
I yellow and violet.
The fine flowers seen upon the royal
ohina are scattered in embroidery over
the linen centerpiece; on this stands a
[ Dresden bowl holding an old-fashioned
nosegay of pink rosebuds, hot-house
daisies with their yellow centers, pan
sies and heliotrope. These are tied
NAME CARDS FOR A DRESDEN LUNCHEON.
loosely together with a bow of blue
ribbon, which gives the needed touch
of that color, unless one is able to get
natural forget-me-nots or some other
fine blue flowers, like scillas. A lew '
I airy and smaller bunches of the same
flowers, in little cut-glass stands, are
placed about the table.
The candelabra have pink rose
shades.
The finger-bowl mats are embroid
ered to match the Dresden flower cen
terpiece, and floating in the water of
the bowls are the different flowers; a
few rose petals in one, a daisy in an
other and a pansy in another until each
has one.
Every cup, saucer, plate or dish used
is of Dresden china, the greater the
variety of their shapes the prettier.
The ice cream is served in small satin
cases, in the different pale colors, blue,
pink, violet and yellow. When boxes
in these colors cannot be procured
plain white is used. On the top of
each is tied a little bunch of satin
flowers composed of tiny pink rose
buds, blue forget-me-nots, a daisy, a
bit of heliotrope, or a few violets.
At the place of each guest is a name
card, done in the Dresden design. The
cards are of water-colors paper
and the design painted in water color.
The color of the painted ribbon bows
in the designs given varies in the dif
ferent cards in blue, pink, yellow and
violet, and where the loop and end ex
tend over the edge they are cut out,
making the ribbon look more realistic.
The sign of all Dresden ware from
the royal factories is the tiny blue
crossed swords 011 the reverse or bot
tom of the dish, without which no piece
is genuine; so on the back of the cards
one must be sure to paint the sword
sign in just the right shade of old blue,
thus making complete the idea of a
veritable feast of of royal Dresden.
A very new and pretty design for
name-cards at these luncheons is the
violet one shown in the second picture.
A plain white or cream square envelope
is used for this card. Where the name
is to be seen an opening like that of a
picture frame is cut through the face
of the envelope, a line of narrow gild
ing finishing the edge. The name of
the guest is written 011 a plain card and
put inside the envelope; RO as to show
through the opening.
Some other small graceful flower in
place of the violet is sometimes painted
on it with good effect; and if one col
or, as yellow, for instance, predomi
nates in the table decorations, a design
of jonquils or buttercups is chosen.
A cardboard rest is tied in at the top
of these envelope cards by a narrow
ribbon caught through two little slits
in the envelope over the one in the rest
itself. They are then stood around the
table like dainty little picture frames,
which in reality they are, making the
most charming souvenirs when taken
home anil a small photograph substi
tuted for the card with the name on it
It would be dillleult to conceive a
more spring-like picture than this '
dainty Dresden table, surrounded by
pretty girls in light flower-like toilets
fluttering with the laces ami ribbons
of the present modes.— Judith Carring- I
