at Mr. Latimer said to him, as
smoked a cigar together after
kfast that morning:
“You ought to marry, Potter.”
“Well, T can’t say I haven't thought
of it,” answered Sir Humphrey. “I
feel at times I want something to cheer
me up—to take my thoughts off the
work when I'm at home.”
He spoke as if he intended to buy
a banjo.
“You want to find tha right girl,
and then you'll never regret it. And
you won't make a mistake—that ain't
your way, we all know, Potter.”
Sir Humphrey had money in Mr.
Latimer’s business.
“You can hardly realize.” continued
Mr. Latimer, “the rest and pleasure a
tired man can find in woman's talk,
if it's lively and chatty.”
Here Mr. Latimer artistically lost
bimself in reverie, emerging presently
with a sigh.

that the
M2 people considered
time had comz when Sir Hum-
phrey Potter, with his wealth and his
title, should take a wife. Some of
these had daughters. They were only
anxious for the dear girls’ happiness.
No one, however, cared to speak to
him on such subjects as love and mar-
riage. He would have thought them |
frivolous. |
He was never frivolous.
It was only possible to interest him |
in serious matters; business trans- |
actions for preference; politics, on
which he had decided views, in his
lighter moods. It was dificult to
conceive of him as a lover. His tall, i
portly form seemed always to require |
about it the red mahogany and shin-
ing leather of his office. Laughter, |
while in conversation with Sir Hum-
phrey, seemed out of place. It was,
said an irreverent person, as the
crackling of thorns under a Potter.
Mrs. Latimer had described him as
“portentous.” She owned that the
exact meaning of the word had escaped |
her for the moment, but she had an in- |
ner consciousness that it contained an
exact description, and she was not to |
be moved by any dictionary person.
He was a self-made man. That was
evident. No one else would have trou-
bled to make him. Iowever, he stated
the fact constantly.
He was enormously ric!
tained a knighthcod by ji ious phil-
anthropy. He did not pav iarge sal-
aries to his clerl's, b:! when a fund
was started at the Mansion house he
rressed nohly to the front. Pressing
nobly to the front—people can see you
when you are there—had made him
what he was—Sir Humphrey Potter.
Young ladies have been wont to call
him, in the course of private conver-
sation, “a fat pompous beast.” The
course of private conversation does
not always run smocthly. Now he
was “dear Sir Humphrey.”
He was on the market. He had
wealth and title, althongh the goods
were a little shon-sciled.
It was on a boantiful, warm morn ng
in July that Sir Humphrey cautiously
lifted one lath of his bedroom biind
and peered out. He was not anxious
to be seen. He was 2 man of great
dignity of presence (his tailor, to
whom he paid cash, had often told him
£0), but he felt he did not look his
best at that particular time. His hair
fell in a fringe over- his forehead—
which did not svit him—and his face
shone with the perspiration engendered
by a hot July night. It also reguiged
the refining touch of a razor. The fa

when she gets married! So bright and
jolly—such a capital companion! We're
always together.”
The feeling of a doting
carried him away,
with Lis daughter. She saw to that.
“It needs consideration, Latimer,”
said Sir Humphrey, and then, a little
abruptly, turned the conversation to
other topics. "
But by lunch-time Mr. Latimer had
calculated to a nicety the minimum
cost of the transfer of his daughter

quiet wedding (had not
died within the year?) but he had
strong misgivings that that young
lady would like the thing done in style.
She would be sure that dear auntie
would not wish any difference to be
made.
In the afternoon Sir Humphrey sat
with Miss Latimer on the lawn, until
she suggested the summer house by
the river as being the coolest, darling-
est place, and providing awful fun
watching the people in the boats.
“They're all in love with each other,
and so funny to watch! Do come,
dear Sir Humphrey!”
Clarissa had been sent to the shops
to match wool for Mrs. Latimer. Mr.
Latimer had thought the walk would
do her good. ‘
The thermometer registered 80 de-
grees in the shade.
Sir Humphrey passed the time pleas-~
antly by instructing his companion in

stock exchange. She understood every-
thing, so wonderfully did he explain
"things.

of that young lady she did so.

So while pa sipped his port in afte
dinner contentment, Clarissa wanderdg
in the rose garden and dreamed of thio
lover that was to come. |
She did not dream of the lover th
was coming.
Sir Humphrey finished his cigar a

Latimer said to the sharer of his j

It was not for the nnrpose of observ-

might watch Miss Latimer, the daugh-
ter of his old friend and present host,
that, when your mind was made up to !

and her cousin Clarissa, who were
walking in the garden. They were en-
joying the fresh morning air; Clarissa,
for the sake of the thousand delicate
scents that mingled with it and the
sweet, glad song of the birds; Miss
Latimer chiefly for the sake of her
complexion. She did not care much
for the songs of the birds; she pre-
ferred music from the comic operas.
And as for the delicate scents of the
waking flowers She had been
known to purchase patchouli.
Miss Latimer's whole attention was
at that period of her existence en-
grossed by her numerous love affairs.
Nort on diCr talk was of young men. Her
great purpose was to obtain a hus-
band; if young and handsome, so much
the better, but the only indispensable
adjunct was wealth, She was little,

ness conversation~-he asked hejr if she
would be his wile.
off his balance. He felt he wanted to
take her in his arms and kiss her. The
matter was getting, beyond. the strict
young men. These walked with her,
talked with her (she would giggle at
remarks tkat should have been re-
ceived with a cold silence), and flirted
with her.
She was called “Flo.” It seemed a
necessary consequence. There are
many noble, stately women in the
world named Florence, but it would
seem an insult to address them as
“Flo.” However, the name suited Miss
T~timer to perfection.
And Clarissa?
A tall, slender girl, bearing herself
with a natural grace and dignity that
tittle Flo, push herself out and pull
herself in as she might, could never
fmitate.
Miss Latimer's young-men friends
(she called them ‘the boys’) thought
her cousin Clarissa stuck up. They
told, each other so. But a smile from

The slight differences of styles which
occur are well exemplified in the style
of painted rawhide bags or envelopes,
, the so-called “parfleches,” writes Prot
Franz Boas, in the Popular Science
Monthly. Mr. St. Clair has observed
‘hat the Arapaho are in the habit of
laying on the colors rather delicately, in
areas of moderate size, and of following
| jut a general arrangement of their mo-
itives in stripes; that (he Shoshone, on
|the other hand, like large areas of solid
colors, bordered by heavy blue bands,
and an arrangement in which a central
field is set off rather prominently from
the rest of the design. This difference
‘1s so marked that it is easy to tell a
Shoshone parfleche that has found its
| way to the Arapaho from parfleches of
| Arapaho manufacture. In other cases
the most characteristic differepce cone
' gists in the place on the parfleche to

tribes of Idaho and Montana always dec-
orate the sides.

PRICE OF HOSPITALITY.
People of Netter Social Than Finan
elal Status Can't Afford to Accept
Invitatious in Luglana,
The question of tips is perennial. It
| 1s especially at this time of the year
' that it forces itself most prominently
into notice, and the awful truth has
to be acknowledged that there seems
to be no way out of a difficulty which
alike besets hostess and guests, says
the London World. Hospitalliy is
bought at a price in thes¢ days, for the
new order renders it possible to open
the doors of every great house with
golden keys, provided that they are
heavy enough and are attached to
massive chains; and when guests . in-
clude millionaires of transatlantic and
oriental extraction, how is it possible
for hostesses to exercise any control
over the tipping system? The re-
sult is that everybody is mulcted alike.
The poor must follow the lead of the
rich, and in consequence it often be-
comes as great a difficulty for men and
women of better social than financial
| Status, to accept invitations as to stay
at expensive hotels. Yet how is re-
form to be instituted? This is a so-
cial difficulty that it seems impossible
to overcome, but at the same time it
is one which stands in the way of
many agreeable people of both sexes,
who dare not in existing eircum-
stances accept invitations, even’ where
they feel they would bae'most welcome,
and w.ere a delightful time would
await them.
THE GREEN MORAYS.
Very Able Contortionists—Thelr Tank
One of the New York Aquar-
luw’s Attractions,
“Them fellers must have India rub-
ber backbones,” said a visitor at the
| Aquarium, gazing in as he spoke at the
tank of the green morays, which were
twisting and contorting and tying
themselves up into knots, in a manner
{ that would have made the India rubber
| man wari to quit the business entirely,
says the New York Sun.
Seven feet long, the biggest of the
three here, and five and six feet, respec-
tively, the other two, the big green mo-
rays always attract the visitors, even
| when they are quiescent; but when, as
at fceding time, they begin to squirm,
{ then so many people gather around the
tank that those at the back can get only
| occasional glimpses of the giant eel con-
{ tortionists as they rise high in the
tank, to be seen then over the heads of
the people in front.
They are doing well, the green morays,
oll of them feeding well, and they are
probably as comfortabie here, in their
spacious tank at the Aquarium, as they
could be anywhere away from the coral
caverns they were accustomed to fre-
quent, in the waters of the isles of Ber-
muda. They are certainly a great attrae-
tion,
