A RAINY DAY. A dull pray sky and dull brown earth, And tho dreary, steady rain. The shadows prow deeper within tho roomi A fly creeps over tho pano. Trees stand still and lifeless and dull, The raindrops cling to tho leaves ; A lonely sparrow, rolled up In n bull Chirps drearily under the oaves. Tho sweet blush roses hang their heads, Heavy und dripping with rain; A butterfly trails tho limp, whlto wings Fie nover will use again. The long lush grass, with foam-ltko fringe, Lies tangled on the ground, And tho rain's sad, deadening spoil has hushed Each tiny Insect sound. A dull gray sky and a steady rain And shadows dim up-pllod, And out of the durkness and sadness rings The lough of a little child. —Dorothy E. Nolson, In Oood Housekeeping. THAT CAiDGAME. lIY JAHIEB KNAPP REEVE. [Copyright. 1894, by the Author.] s I SAID to you at the time of our J// conversation on those matters, we do not much care to havo club Si£"i made pub- V? v-vp* tie property. The if spirit of reserve V./VM and exclusive \\ neBS which has v characterized tho club since its in oeption is all - against any pub lie parade, even in regard to such incidents as this— which can only redound to its credit. You will give the report verbatim, will you? You will promise not to color it to serve the purposes of a newspaper sensation? Y\"ell, I believe I can trust j 011 then with the facts: they are not ( f tho sort that we need hide them. "Yes, it is true that we have a card room at tho club. I believe gentlemen can play cards for light stakes —and re main gentlemen. "You think there is not much distinc tion between that and gambling, eh? Well, we will not discuss that point. We have always discouraged any play for high stakes, and so not much harva has ever grown out of our card-room. In tliis case good came of it. as I will show you. "Some men are born gamblers. The instinct of gaining is in their blood, and they will take chances on any mat ter that concerns this world or tho next. Young Montgomery—Rawdon Montgomery—was such a one. He al ways wanted to play for higher stakes than the club limit. He wante.l money enough up to make the game 'interest ing.' So one night wc determined to oblige him. "I roust go back a little and tell you enough about Montgomery, so that you may clearly understand what fol lows. lie had been left some money— enough so that he had never been com pelled to go regularly into business in order to get a living. He affected the society of artists a good deal, and had the merit of knowing a good picture when he saw it. Knowledge of this sort is just as valuable as a knowledge of precious stones or of any other fine commodity, if a man knows how to use it, and has the commercial in stinct. Montgomery possessed these qualifications and used them so that many a fairish picture passed through his hands on the way from the studio . to the walls of the final purchaser, and 1 it was said that the larger part of the price stuck to Montgomery's fingers. Not that ho was ever accused of dishon esty, or anything underhanded in his transactions. If lie traded sometimes on the necessities of improvident painters, that was his own concern and theirs. If there had even been hint of more than this, he could not have remained in the club. "You know the club lias quite an artistic contingent. Clifford, thcland scapist, is one of our best known art members, and being a particular friend of mine I spoke to him about accom modating Montgomery with this game •for keeps,' as he expressed it. Clif ford could afford to lose a little money "HE AFFECTED TIIK?800IETY OF ARTISTS. M If it became necessary, and I know he. had plenty of courage to stay in as Jong as any. lie gave an ugly little smile when I had explained tho matter to him, showing his teeth in away that made me think he might have some score of his own to settle. "Jimmy Pettingill made the fourth member of our party, and 1 have ul ' ready told you what sort of a man he js, and if you have forgotten, you have pnly to look up the history of that af fair at the club which I gave you not long ago. "I no not think you will care to fol low all the course of our play. For some time Clifford and Pettingill lost steadily, I making some winnings, but most of the money going to Montgom ery. From the start we had played in a sort of ferocious silence, as if more than the mere money stakes was de pendent on the issue. For iny life I could not tell why I thought so, but as the hours went by it grow on rac that an 'event' was drawing toward its cul mination. % "After midnight matters began to change, Montgomery losing heavily and Clifford winning. The bets grew heavier with each hand, and once or twice I felt Inclined to protest against ' r-neh plunging. But Pettingill, who j seouied to see ahead more el uriy titan | 1 did, gave ni.j a look that held 1110 I silent. "Montgo aery was well suppli "1 with money, and for a long time paid his ! 1 rises in cash. But finally he took out his Bankbook, wrote a check and ! passed it to Clifford in settlement, and i asked him if that was satisfactory. Clifford placed it in his pocket with out looking at it, merely nodding to the other, and went on with the game. This was repeated two or three times, j and after that Pettingill nodded to 1110 ( that we had best draw out of the game, and let them light it to a finish alone. "Montgomery had grown nervous, ; and was playing recklessly. Clifford j was calm, a little paler than usual, and playing with a deliberate calcula- j tion that meant ruin to his adversary, ; if he could compass it. Presently ; Montgomery paused, and made a hasty ; calculation in his bankbook; he hesi tated a moment after this, and then said quietly to Cliiford: "'I have no more money. I would like to have another chance, if you will let me. My private collection of paiutr ingn is worth five thousand dollars.' "fie looked at Clifford inquiringly, not putting his question into words. 'All right,' said the other briefly, and the game went on. "I began to get nervous, not know ing where it would end, and looked at my watch. It was twenty minutes past three. I went to the window, and could sec a faint streak of gray light in the east. I was thankful for that, for I believed the garish day light, which would soon be upon us, would bring the men to their senses and stop the play. I thought Mont gomcry's punishment had already been severe enough. "While standing by the window I beard a sharp oath, and turned quick ly enough to see Montgomery throw down his cards and settle back in liii chair with a look of abject despair (fMM "Ills EYES GLOATING UPON HIS VICTIM." Clifford was bending toward him, his eyes gloating upon his victim. I had not thought the man carried so much malice in his heart, and for a moment I liked him the less for it. But only for a moment. Montgomery suddenly started. ""I have one thing more,' he said, 'the promise of Rachel Morris to be my wife. If I lose now, I leave you a clear field.' "Clifford rose quietly from the table. "'You hear this, gentlemen?' be j said. 'This cur has dragged the name l of a lady into a game of cards. This j hound.' lie paused, I thought to give j the other chance to resent his words, 1 'this hound,' he repeated slowly, 'has managed to get Dan Morris in his debt, lie has agreed to cancel the ob ligations if his daughter would marry him- This, the bravo girl, in a mo ment of despair, consented to do. This cur,' ho paused again, 'holds her to i this promise. And now he offers it as ! a stake upon a game of cards.' "Clifford seemed to grow in stature, j as ho spoke, and the other to shrink to : the proportions of a pygmy. When he j had finished he took the money he had 1 won, and the checks, and twisted them together and threw them into Mont gomcry's face. Then he went to the door and opened it " 'Go!' he said; and the fellow slunk out like a whipped dog. "You want the end of the story? Well, it is brief. The club's action was prompt, and Montgomery is no longer a member. "And Rachel Morris, did you say? Oh. yes. Here are wedding cards. She is to be married to Clifford this even ing. I must go and dress. lamto be best man. That is my reward for re maining an old beau." 1 think it would have been more true if he had said this was one of his re wards, for I can see that he has many. So many men befriended, so many women made happy by acts of unsclf ish devotion, have given a erown to his years of more woith than the crowns that kings wear. If it be as 1 have guessed, that the life of the old fellow has known some sorrow, it is certain tliut it now knows much hap piness. But now, as I look at him 11101*0 closely before wc part, I think perhaps he is not so old as he has sometimes seemed to me. A Talo of the Street.

THE BABY'S LAYETTE. Artic-1 4 That Arc NccosHary to "Take the Little lteingH Com for table. Everyone has a different idea of what > the wardrobe for the little baby should i consist. Tho babies themselves are pretty much alike in their require ments, and so it seems that they might be governed by one simple rule. The foundation is generally tho same, but tho variations are found in the dif ferent forms of elaboration and ex pense. In this article I want to tell what is necessary to make the baby comfortable and how to arrange for it. We will begin with the bands—the first article of clothing that is put on the baby. There, of course, are made of flannel. They want to be made from a nice piece, at about 05 cents a yard, and should be torn in strips fifteen inches long and five inches wide; six arc enough. Do not turn down the edges, for even that little hem is rough foi I the baby's skin. If any decoration is wanted buttonhole them along both sides with white silk. That is all that is necessary. The nicest shirts are those made of silk and wool mixed, high necked and long sleeved. These should button all the way down the front. It Is much easier to put them on when they button in that way, and saves put ting over the head, which the baby always dislikes. They can be bought for 81.15 apiece. Six is a generous sup ply, and two can be bought a size larger than the other four, which should be the smallest size. A less expensive skirt that is very good is of cotton and wool mixed, for about 05 cents. Next come the barrow skirts. These ure made with a cambric waistband, 5 inches deep and 10 inches long. Tho flannel is gathered in at the bottom of the band, and should be about 25 iuehes long. It is left open all the way up. and is bound with flannel binding nil around the edge. The same quality flannel as used for the bands will do for these. There should bo six. Babies, as a rule, do not Wear the barrow skirts longer than the first three months. Then they will need the flannel skirts, which do not differ very much. They arc larger, and do not open up the front, and are generally embroidered around the bottom. There is no better or prettier way to finish flannel than to work it in this way. Of course it is much less expensive to buy the flannel and have It stamped and do it yourself than it is to buy the flannel already embroidered. -If it is a "winter baby," a good plan is to make the band of tho skirt also of flannel. These skirts should bo quite full to look nicely.— Harper's Bazar. Home Points About Finn. Thorns were originally used in fast- • cning garments together. Pins did not immediately succeed thorns as fasten ers, but different appliances were used, such as hooks, buckles and laces. It was the latter half of the fifteenth century before pins were used in Great Britain. When first manufactured in England the iron wire, of the proper length, was filed to a point, and the other extremity twisted into a head. This was a slow process, and four or five hundred pins was a good day's work for an expert hand. The United States has the credit of inventing the first machine for making pins. This was in 1821. The inventor was one Lemuel Wellinan Wright. Many re markable improvements have followed, and the machines of the present day send off, as if by magic, whole streams of pins, and these fall so nicely adjust ed for the papers pricked for them that two small girls can put up several thou sand papers in a day.—Ladies' Home Journal. • llow to Clean Windows. Simple as the operation may seem there is away to clean windows and a way not to clean them. The following suggestions may bo of use to some, as they save both time and labor: Choose a time when the sun does not shine on the window, else it will dry streaked, and no amount of rubbing can prevent it. Brush off all the dust inside and out; clean the woodwork around the glass first. Use for this warm water and ammonia; do not use soap. Wipe dry with cotton cloth. Do not use linen, as it leaves lint on the glass when dry. Polish with tissue or old ! newspaper. Easily Malc and Usoful. To make a convenient bag for paper j and twine, double a yard of creponne, ! joining the edges with a puff of cam- ! brie of a solid and harmonizing color. ' At tho top turn iu each of the four j edges for several inches, so that the two sides end in a point. Fasten these ! together with button and buttonhole j and sew here ribbon loops and ends by j which to hang up the bag. To one 1 side sew a triangular outside pocket, j with a box-plait in the middle of it. I Make deep rather than broad; this is ! for the twine.

Shell walnuts; divide them into halves. Take one pound of prunes, soak over night, and remove tho stones. Save the water in which they have been soaked, to which add one cup of sugar. Boil for a moment j and skim. Then add the walnuts and prunes. Cover and stand 011 the back part of the stove for at least thirty ! minutes, until the sirup is thick anil dark, the prunes tender, and the wal nuts soft. Serve cold, as you would any other preserve. llath for Hot Weather. Put to a cup of sea salt, one-half ounce of camphor and one-half ounce of ammonia in a quart bottle; fill the hot- ! tie with hot water and let it stand twenty-four hours; then, when pre pared to bathe with a sponge, put a 1 teaspoonful of this mixture, well shaken, into your basin. A surprising quantity of dirt will come from tho cleanest skin. The ammonia cleanses, and tho camphor and the sea salt im part a beneficial effect which cannot bo j exaggerated- FEMININE GOSSIP. MRS.

Something About tlio Vory LatoU; Thing in Embroidery. A Combination of Iloniton Bnild with K;nlroldory—Vxrcllent Model In the Shape of a CtiHhion—Corner for Table Linen. The very latest thing' in ncodlcwork is a combination of the honiton braid with embroidery. Heretofore we have had the lovely lace work, and we have even seen the braids used as braids simply, but their use for applique and their combination with lon# and short stitch are both new and immensely ef fective. The work is simple in the extreme and requires no knowledge beyond that which every woman has. The secret of success lies in the design and in the selection of colors. If you are careful that both of these are good, the rest will surely follow, and you may be as sured of success. The cushion shown in the first draw ing is excellent as a model, and can SACK COLOR AND OLD PINK. either be exactly copied or modified to suit your needs. The original has just been completed by a clever woman, who makes all her own designs. The foundation is pale sage-colored furniture sateen. The central figure is worked in long and short stitch with old pink Turkish floss, and the center is filled with fancy stitches of the same. The antennae like lines that run from it were first drawn with a brush, then covered with the braid, neatly pasted on. Each one of the sections is buttonholed irregu larly with old pink filo floss around its entire edge, and each joint is entirely worked over with the same. The com bination of tones is charming, and the rapidity of the work is an immense ad vantage in these days of hurry and hustle, when one has hardly time suf ficient to indulge In the love for mak ing pretty things. The second illustration shows ono corner of a tea table cover, and is all white. The material is heavy linen, n fine quality of what Is known as "butcher's linen," and all the work is done with A TA Ml,ft COVER IN PURE WHITE. white wash silk. The largo figures in the corners are purely conventional, and arc worked with heavy silk. The braid is put on precisely as already de scribed. but with white in place of col ored floss. The edgo of the cloth is finished with a wide hem, simply hemstitched, and the whole has the raro merit of laun dering perfectly and without need of special care. Beautiful as colored embroidery un questionably is, it has the disadvantage of requiring the greatest care. Even the wonderful wash dyes must be treated with respect; and, as every housekeeper knows, it is difficult to re move tea and coffee stuins without hot ter water and more soap than they al low. The pure white covers are, there fore, steadily growing in favor, and as this one has the merit of being effective without being exacting, it deserves a hearty recognition from all busy wom en folk.—N.
