HOUSEHOLD DECORATION*. Notes of the latest Ideas and Fashions in Furniture. A N D S 0 11 E lamps are as much the rage as ever, and some of the lat est and most el egant are in brass and bronze oc casi o a lly with allegorical figures of Night and Horning in bas relief. The lamps on brass islands four or Vive feet high, with shades as big as a parasol, are also fashion able, and are ef fective for cor ners. They look very elegant in dining rooms, and are sometimes put on the table and pyra mids of flowers heaped about the base. Some comes as high as $50 audosloo, but they are all prices. Fine china and porcelain globes are in great demand this season,-and some of them come as high as $10 or $15. A popular but silly fashion is to stick a lot of imitation bugs and spiders on the large silk umbrella shades for high standimr lamps, which are now so ex tensively used in drawing rooms and libraries*, and which make euchre par ties so picturesque. mil} yellow, in all the variations of the plumage of the bird, is one of the most popular and fashionable shades fur curtains. Mrs. Gallup, paughter of the late Collin Colket, is having a bed room decorated and upholstered in ciel blue. with lovely Japanese hangings em broidered by hand, showing birds and Ho vers in gorgeous profusion. Old rose velvet bordered with steel is an elegant combination in expensive tabic covers. The craze for white and gilt furniture has assumed gigantic proportions. There is now hardly a well-to-do house hold where white and gilt effects have not been introduced. The danger is thai it may he overdone. Indian chairs are a novelty. They are of bamboo, draped with rough fab ric*, in very bright colors. In the old classic forms now being re vived in furniture and decoration there is a great deal of scroll work witn graceful and flowing lines and the acanthus figures prominently. Small figure, have taken the place of large ones in the finest carpets, and carpets showing a solid ground work arc in considerable demand. A novel idea introduced by some fash- V»iiabit- ladies in Philadelphia is that of having the backs and seats of easy be l rooiu chairs upholstered with silk and Idled with broken balsam-boughs, which emit a delicious fragrance for an entire season. Pour-post bedsteads of the Gothic and Renaissance periods are in high style. and if real tapestry hangings can be afforded they are just the thing. Neat bookcases matte of cherry, with marble shelves can be bought as low as -"•'■ and $S. Furniture was never so cheap. Voting Hyson never tastes so well as out of a line old blue china tea cup, and sets of old blue are in as great demand as in the days of our grandmothers. The Misses Drexel have introduced a novel idea in furnishing into their house at Torresdale. It consists of a series of carved oak cases or cabinets set be tween pillars and slightly projecting from the wall. Above are little recep tacles with doors to hold books and other odd articles, while vases and other ornaments may be placed above. The design is strictly Romanesque. .\ii idea which Mrs. Samuel W. Gross was one of the first to introduce in Philadelphia has become very popular. Ii is to have foliage plants in orna mental pots and big vases set about in parlors, library and other rooms on tables, without regard to what else the tables hold and is most effective and beautiful. Intact such foliage effects look well on any high piece of furniture but should not be too high. < hie of.the very latest and rarest things in hangings are of Hungarian embroidery in prismatic effects, show ing nearly all the colors of the rainbow. There i- a fancy for collecting small china futures of animals and using them in groups on small tables or in cabinets as bric-a-brac. Plaques are no longer much in de mand, and are a dead stock on the hands of the dealers in elegant household fixtures. Oak is the. very latest rage. Desks, chairs, brackets, bedsteads, al most everything, in fact, are made of it. and it is now the most fashionable of all i lie woods. WOMEN'S CONVERSATION. D<» ilie Dear Creatures Ever Con verse? If Not, Why Not? S THERE any such thing as con versation? Says Charles Dudley Warner in Har per's. It is a del icate subject to touch, because many people un derstand conver sation to be talk; not the exchange of ideas, but of .words and the [Drawer would not 'like to say any thing to increase the How of the Hatter. We read of tunes and salons in which real con versation existed, held by men and women. Are they altogether in the past? We believe that men do some times converse. Do women ever? Per il ays so. In those hours sacred to the relaxation of undress and back hair. in the upper penetralia of the household, where two or three or six are gathered to gether on anil about the cushioned frame intended for repose, do they con verse or indulge in that sort of" chat from which not one idea is carried away? \i> one reports, fortuately, and we do i.ot know. But do all women like this method of spending hour after hour. day after day—indeed, a lifetime? Is it invigorating, even restful? Think of the talk, this past summer, the rivers and oceans of it, on piazzas and galleries in the warm evenings or the fresher mornings, in private houses, on hotel verandas, in the shade of thousands of cottages by the sea and in the hills! As you recall it. what was it all about? Was the mind in a vapid condition after an evening of it? And there is so much to read, and so much to think about, and the world.is so in teresting, if you do thiuk about it and nearly every person has some peculiarity ofjinind that would be worth study if you could only get at it! It is really, we re peat, . such an interesting world, and most people; get so little out of it. . Now, there is the conversation of hens, when the hens are busy and not self-conscious : there is something fas cinating about it, because the imagina tion may invest it with a recondite and spicy meaning: but the common talk of people! We infer sometimes that the hens are not saying anything, because they do not read, and, consequently, their minds are empty. And perhaps we are right. As to conversation, there is no use in sending the bucket into the well when the well is dry—it only makes a rattling of windlass and chain. The Drawer has been obliged to take notice of the extraordinary tendency of American women to cultivation, to the improvement of the mind by means of reading, clubs and other intellectual ex ercises, and to acknowledge that they are leaving the men behind: that is. the men not in the socalled professions. Is this intellectualization beginning to show in the conversation of women when they are together, say in the hours id' relaxation in the penetralia spoken of. or in general society? Is there less talk about the fashion of dress, ami the dearness or cheapness of materials, and about servants, and the ways of the. inchoate citizen called the baby, and the infinitely little detail-, of the private life of other people? Is it so that if a group of men are talking, say about politics, or robust business, or literature, and they are joined byjwomen (whose company is always welcome), the conversation is almost sure to take •a lower mental plane, to become more personal, more frivolous, accommoda ting itself to quite a different range? Do the well-read, thoughtful women, however brilliant and capable of the gayest persiflage, prefer to talk with men, to listen to the conversation of men, rather than to converse.with or listen to their own sex? If this is true, why is it? Women, as a rule, in "society" at any rate, have more leisure than men. In the facilities and felicities of speech I they commonly excel men, and usually i they have more of the vivacious dra | matic power, which is called "setting j out a tiling to the life." With all these advantages, and all the world open to I them in newspapers and in books, they ! ought to be the leaders and stimulators ! of, the best conversation. With them it should never drop down to the too-com mon flatness and banality. Women have made this world one of the most beauti ful places of residence to be conceived! ( They might make it one of the most in teresting. A SMALL FAMILY'S LIFE. The Busy Young Wife Overbur dened With Work, and the Too Easy-Going Husband. Philadelphia Record. IT OF THE window of my flat it is impos sible that 1 shall look without becoming in some degree a wit ness of the domestic affairs of my near neighbor, of whose premises I have a backdoor view. What 1 am going to write about is no betrayal of my neighbor's private affairs that will ever come home to him. 1 do not know my neighbor: but 1 owe him no grudge, and would much sooner do him a favor than an injury. The first of his domestic affairs that attracted my special notice were his two niischevious. curly headed children, a little he and a she. who to the best of their toddling ability amused themselves and filled the small area where they took their sunshine with their infantile noise and joyousness. 1 am indebted to my neigh bor for many, momentary intervals of such solace and satisfaction as ('ray Hair at the casement can snatch from Golden Hair on the Greensward. Child ren are the connecting link between the heaven behind us and the heaven we hope for. Interest in the children nat urally grew into interest for their care taker— bright-eyed, busy, quick-footed little mother. She might have stood to a sculptor for a statue of Celerity! Bless me. How she did and how she does go in anil out and about! She never rests. It is J>lain to be seen that the little mother has no "hired help." She is her own >ole baby-minder. She is the chore doer. She locks the babes in the area while she goes to market, anil comes back overweighted, poor thing! She carries out the ashes and the garbage to be taken by the delaying dustman. She is the purveyor of her own estab lishment, as well as the housekeeper. My neighbors are early breakfasters. Thus it happens that I do not look out upon their morning affairs. But 1 know the little mother must rise early and work swiftly, because the traces of morning meals in her house are gone before my breakfast hour, aud because eveiy week, early in the day. 1 see her "wash," a multitudinous array of shirts and sheets and household wear, hung out to dry, tilling the little area with flapping linen and calico. She does her own washing, too. and the quantity of it gave me a new hint. All the shirts are not her husband's. He wouldn't have so many, even if he were a clerk in a hotel. There are three lodgers in her house for whom she cooks and washes and doubtless sews on buttons. The heavy market-bastet is accounted for. 1 have seen the husband. It was a fine sunshiny day. and the woolen blankets and winter garments were all hung out and beaten. The moths are a pest. He came out his bouse, a fine, strapping fellow, with a cigar between his teeth and good color in his cheeks. "Mary," he said, after inspecting his winter overcoat, "I think you had bet ter get these things in out of the dust; they cost money." I didn't like his tone It wasn't unkind, but it was unappreciative. He might have carried in the clothes easily with his hulking .strength. For her they were a great load. But good, obedient, faithful wife that she is. she immediately gathered them up and trotted away with them, looking like an Atlas in petticoats stag gering under a weight a world too heavy for her. The husband doesn't romp enough with his little curly-heads to suit me, though I must acknowledge it is none of my business. It grated on my ear. too, the other day when the lit tle mother scolded them. She is learn ing to scold. I fancy, too. I see her lips are drawn a little, and her cherry eyes begin to have that tired look which comes to all of Ujkout of overwork, and. perhaps, soul wroriness. Late in the night 1 see a bright fire in her kitchen, and she swiftly passes between the fire light within and the darkness without. Meanwhile the husband lounges and smokes. By midnight the ironing is done. On other evenings she is less busy. Then she sews, mends, darns I and (heaven save the mark!) rests her self. She gets no time to read—at least, 1 never catch her having the-time or taking it. So much for her. Her life. is. indeed, "one long, demnition grind!"' There may be little comforts within the walls of the house where my eyes cannot pen j etrate. Probably the curly-heads bring j gleams of pleasure to the) mother-heart, i But lam overcome with sadness every I time I see her. This monologue, per- I haps, would never have been written i but for a new turn in my neighbor's I affairs that made of them a sort of pub ! lie property. He was arrested yester • day on a charge of violence. He is not working now. He is striking for an ; eight-hour day. he and his brother car : penters, and he is making it his business to keep other men from working who | are willing to work nine hours. "Still, ' in his idleness the never-ending work , of the household goes steadily on: but he does not help. He does not even take charge of "the curly-heads. And this leads me to think there are thou sands upon thousands of little mothers in the land who are wearing their lives out like the little mother I see this mo ment from my window. They work 0. 10,12, 16 hours a day. They * work till the weary task is done. But they don t strike. Will a better day ever come for I these patient drudges! .When Women Grow OKI. When a woman begins to show her age, says the Argonaut, the first part to lose its linn, youthful contour is. the face and chin; then the neck and bust, an.l no amount of alum water washes THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1887.—TWENTY PAGES. nor "astringent pomades". will . restore firmness to the flabby muscles, and it then becomes necessary- to look, about for , some — other - beauty that Nature spared a little longer. The upper part of the -arms, and the back keep their delicacy and white ness long after the rest of the woman is passe. For that reason was the V-shaped back invented, and therefore"were sleeveless waists made, which leave the arm exposed above the shoulder. Long gloves hide many a wrinkled hand and withered forearm.and the modestly high front of the waist veils the faded bust, while the black velvet ribbon tied tightly around the throat retains the loose flesh in its snug embrace, while it whitens the rest of the neck by contrast, and it also sustains the baggy double chin, together with the "wrinkle anni hilator," which is made of alum,para(ine and a little sweet almond oil. . SWEET SIX-AND-TWENTY. Sixteen the Age of Bloom, but Real Beauty Found Ten Years "Later. Chicago News. UK longevity of girl hood, according to the ethics of society, has increased in the last dozen or fifteen years. A girl is not an "old maid" now until she is past thirty. Once she was an "old maid" at twenty-live. She is a girl now for five years beyond that age. . It is even deemed not only possible but probaole that some man will find her fair and lovable after that advanced age and she marry. In the better . circles girls do not cut* society at as early an age as they did when the tag "old maid" was affixed to them if they didn't marry by the time they were twenty-live. "The lass of sixteen, eighteen or even older is in school occupied with her music and other studies now, and not receiving beaux in the parlor evenings. She is getting ready to be a young woman. She is not attempting to be one before she. is. It is a time-honored fallacy that girls reach mental maturity in advance of boys. The average lad of sixteen or eighteen is quite as matured in intellect as the girl at that age. She is no more lifted at that stage of growth to assume the role of womanhood than he of man hood. There arc. exceptional instances of astonishing development at an early day with both boys and girls that en title them to rank as men and women. But this is not the average with human ity, and the girl who does not attempt to be a ••young lady" until she is twen ty-one is far better oil' than she who starts out in Ibis endeavor two or three years younger. The largely increasing number of in dependently situated women who pre fer to live unmarried is likely to work a decided change in the status of the "old maid." The elderly girl who prefers tlie luxuries or comforts of her' lather's home to sharing a flat or a boarding house with a salaried young man is multipl ing so rapidly that she is bound to have a show in things generally, the same as younger maidens anil her mar ried sisters. TO DRIVE AWAY WRINKLES' Facial Rubbings and Cheek Gym nastics Warranted to Remove Them. Toledo Blade. Wrinkles are the bete noire of ladies who have lost the freshness of youth, and the feminine world has long sough; sonic harmless means of eradicating them. Wrinkles arc due to the gradual wearing away of flesh underneath the cuticle. Why docs it wear away? Be cause the facial muscles have either too little or the wrong kind of exercise. It will be observed that wrinkles usually take a downward course. This is due to the wrong kind of exercise. What exercise? Why. the washing of the face, to be sure, Reverse the process, and instead of rubbing the face down in washing and wiping always rub upward. This will have the effect of counteract ing the tendency of the flesh to depart from under the cuticle, and will keep the face free from wrinkles. lt is rather an awkward habit to ac quire at first, but perseverance will make it second nature, and the result is worth many pains. This exercise. is designed particularly for the benefit of the eyes and the upper portion of the cheeks. Then, from the middle and lower portion of the face, where hollow ness rather than wrinkles is often noted, another plan must taken. The facial muscles are subjected to very slight ac tivity in the ordinary exertions of eat ing and talking. To fill the cheeks out plump and round it is necessary to'develop the muscles. These mucles are very slight at the best, and any special effort well i directed will increase tiieni iv capacity and size. An excellent exercise for this purpose is this: Take a piece of soft leather—kid or chamois skin will do—and put the end of it between the teeth; then chew gently upon it for several minutes, tak ing care not to raise the teeth from the leather. If the teeth are raised it will bring into play only the ordinary muscles of mastication, whereas the purpose is to develop those that are sel dom used. One who tries this method will find the cheek going through a queer action that is anything but grace ful and pretty: nevertheless, it is im mensely effective and will restore to its youthful plumpness even the most hol low cheek. Try it faithfully and you will be convinced. A SOCIETY LEADER. The Varied Accomplishments Whie.'i Enabled Mrs. Paran Ste vens to Hold Her Own. A S HI 0 N'S queen.Mrs.Paran Stevens, whose name has been :iientioned fre quently of late as the entertainer of the notorious Duke of Marl borough, is an example of the great change of position and for tune that not tin frequently comes to American wo- men. says the Boston Globe. Paran Stevens was a well-known hotel-keeper, and first began to amass his subse quently immense fortune while propri etor of the llevere house, in Boston. At that time the present Mrs. Stevens, who was his second wife, was earning her living in an adjacent manufacturing town. She was young and beautiful. Mr. Stevens fell in iove with her, made her his wife and educated her. She proved an apt scholar. She is a most "ambitious woman, and to-day i thoroughly educated, converses well on all topics, and is a clever linguist, speaking French and German fluently. : By her tact and wisdom she materially aided her husband in gaining his for tune. In appearance Mrs. Stevens is I portly and somewhat florid, but she also j has a commanding air and her toilets | are exquisite. Her property runs into ; the millions and is mostly in real estate. To be a society queen is her greatest de j sire. She is generous but her charity i does not consist in giving to institu ! tions or the very poor, but to those of | her friends who are trying to keep up : appearances. Many is the wedding j outfit she is said to have paid for i some society girl that, but for Sirs. | Stevens* bounty, would have cut a sorry '■ figure. i Marriage as a Partnership. I Pall Mall Gazette. , Marriage is still too often a bargain, but at least it is 110 longer an entirely one-sided bargain. It is tending toward the only true ideal of lifelong compan ionship—a partnership on equal terms, with equal give-and-take on both sides. Women no longer feel bound to render that implicit obedience which was con sidered de rigueur in our great-grand mothers' days, and men no longer uni versally demand it. Husbands, more over, are beginning to learn that their prime duty is not "to look after", their wives The very sentence is indicative | of the most ghastly misapprehension of [ the ' whole ideal of. matrimony.;/. The , general feeling of .society condemns a man who lives to - rule his wife on the: :same " principles as • a pasha* rules his harem. Ami indeed the whole scheme of modern life makes It practically. im possible for. him to do so. A married woman enjoys as a rule comple liberty during the lifelong day, and even at night it is impossible for a busy man to es cort his wife. Thus everything turns on the relations be tween the married couple.* If the girl is really in love with the man she mar- j lies, she may be trusted with any amount.- ; of subsequent freedom. If not, not; j and therefore we say that the injudi- j cious and worldly parents who are re-; sponsible for the great majority of i ill- I assorted unions are also responsible for i the many evil results which are to be J seen in society at this day. For it is a j fact that rows of English girls arenas •■ much forced into marriage as the French ' girl, whose husband is selected while I she is yet in her convent, Not by main force, no—but by the whole tone of -her education, by tlie obvious necessity of making way "for a younger sister, by Abe persistent scheming of her parents, and by her own longing for emancipation; For. marriage undoubtedly does mean ■ emancipation to most women; and it.is I precisely those who look forward to it I most who are likely to make the worst use of it. o How to Train a Canary. ,\ _■.<"■ Our Dumb Animals. •>•; Set the cage on the table near where you wish to sit; after a little conference with the bird introduce a linger be tween the wires near the favorite perch, holding it there patiently, yourself oc- j cupied with book <r paper the while. !

She Washed Her Pace in Dew. A young woman, who officiated as maid to a fashionable belle who spent last summer at Bar Harbor, has just cleared up what was regr.rdi d. even lit that resort, used as it is to queer freaks. as mysterious actions, says an exchange. Every morning in/ lady's maid was seen to leave the hotel ' between 5 and (5. and spread on the grass something that looked very like a fine white handker chief. Then, having waited a few mo ments, she would gather up the article i and return to her mistress" chamber. • She now explains that it was „ pj it of her duties to wet a lace monchoir— as the lady called it —with the early.dew of the morning, and then lay it over the face of the young lady, who had an idea that it softened and added beauty and freshness to her complexion. Privately, the maid admitted, not expecting to be engaged by the same damsel another season, that the young lady's ruse was a failure, as her complexion always looked moist ami rather shiny iiisUa:'of having the clear tint she hoped for. ,;-.. That the first snow of winter is com monly supposed to remove freckles^ is an old conceit, but that the morning dew enhances the complexion of city belles is indeed a new "fail." Hot Rolls all Right. From tlie American Magazine. ' After all the abuse that has teen heaped upon hot bread lam gh d to lend my voice in its defense. Properly made, that is, without pernicious alkali or half baking, 1 have round it not only as easily digested, but many times more so than any cereal food that my dyspep tic patients eat. and ii is infinitely more palatable. Hot rolls, as purchased from a first-class city bakery, are among the most desirable of morning foods. 1 regret that 1 can not say so much for oatmeal, though many persons seem to think that it constitutes the most need ful ami nutritious portion of their breakfast. But recent experiments prove tiiat by far the greater part of what is taken passes through the body unchanged, acting merely as an irritant to sluggish bowels as it goes along. To digest this intractable too.l properly hard outdoor labor seems to be neces sary, a: d 1 am convinced that the only nutritive value it has for a majority of my readers is found in the cream that is eaten with it. which would much better be taken alone. "■.•■:.;'-' What Women Will Wear. Long waists, short skirts and full blouse fronts are the features in little girls" frocks. — Matinees of. surahs are trimmed with a new kind of thread lace called dentelie lliisse. Nut browns. Gobelin blues, grays and tapestry greens are the favored colors for felt hats. Checks, bars, herringbone and chev ron weaves mark the bulk of the woolen importations this fall. Undressed suede gloves are still the popular and fashionable wear with toil ets for morning, afternoon and evening. India cashmere made up with moire Francais forms one of the very fash ionable combinations in stylish autumn toilets. -Even handkerchiefs embroidered in gold are brought to match the gold trimmed gowns that are so fashionable this fall. A fancy in fall evening dress is to have the gloves and low shoes of tan colored suede; the silk stockings suede colored also. Yokes of gold passementerie, with cuffs and collars and epualette fringes to match, are seen on. very dressy imported evening gowns. The tailor gown is releeated to its proper place this season, being the suit for morning, not afternoon, wear, for utility, not dress occasions. Girdles of ropes of beads ot passemen terie ami of seal plush are to replace those of metal, saddle girth and leather that have been worn this summer. Double-breasted, loose-front jackets or coats are shown for rough weatherwear. They are loose and comfortable, but set in well to the figure. in the back. •■.._, In handkerchiefs the quaint colored border designs and the narrow fancy edge hold their own in public favor, and probably will for some time to come.' A novelty is shown of silk with wrought -, edge. _B_B The very proper thing in bracelets now is the link, which, without doubt, is quite the prettiest bracelet ever intro duced. Diamonds are set in the open spaces between the links, and in some cases rubies are used. The combinations of color, tinsel, plush, felt, velvet, broche, gold, silver and black,white and colored laces, feath ers and mock jewel ornaments in milli nery this fall show that we are to have an exceptional splendor in dress. The most becoming plaids are the Scotch tartans, which are among the fabrics imported for fall wear. The corsage will be of plain fabric. A wide band of velvet at the foot of the dress is one of the most attractive models of trimming for fall, and prom ises to be popular again. The mid-season or fall styles are not unlike in general from those which have made the past season notable for grace and tastcfulness. Patent leather tips and taxings are still worn, and will continue to be dur ing.the present season. Lace boots still hold the favor of young people. • Ilich and handsome (foresee nt ribbons are used for trimming evening costumes of wool-crapes.

"He was the prince of lovers"—the hand-organ flings it at her from the dis tance. And she hums the tune as she goes about her task. Her task is great, yet little. Only to write a letter—the briefer the better. All else is complete. Her traveling-bag is packed. She is ready to go—to leave all— him whom she loves. The letter is brief. She* writes it without a tear or a pang. "George," it says, "I have gone—for ever. Do not seek me. I have never loved you. No one is to blame. I was never happy as your wife. Ikkxk." As the clock strikes the half, hour be fore 3, she places the letter where it will easily be found, and goes out into the sunshine—goes out from .her hus band's home forever. v The lovers travel far away; they journey unmolested,even by conscience, The woman is happy in " her choice. They have no wealth compared with that once hers. But they have each other. '33EM Months slip by. They rarely speak of the past. But at length she' Bays to him one day: Sg_-£g . "George "could not have cared much. He will soon cut the legal knot. And we can be married; can't we, Francis?" "Yes," he answers carelessly. Other months slip by. The lovers tire of journeying. They drift back to the great city, but somehow do not care to rest there. It is another June, more sultry and like midsummer. "A\ c will go to some near town—some quiet waterside place," he decides. And she agrees with him. He will re-enter business in the city; he is tired of idle ness, he says. It is in the old town of Westfield that they chance to find that which they seek. A house upon a hillside, looking one way down upon the distant rail road and one way down upon the green sea water. It is a,pretty house when all is fixed and fitted. But it is lonesome—very lonesome for the woman who is left so much alone, while he is absent in the city. Left all alone with only a ser vant and the summer wind to speak to her. And so, if she grows pale and gloomy and ceases to smile when he comes home, what wonder? And he, too. seems to have changed. There is a shadow growing up between them. Faint and vague, yet ever pre sent. Ever present in the long hours of the summer day. Ever present in the long hours of summer night. And deepening and spreading like a wall to separate these two. - And gloomy looks and tears bring no relief. They only serve to chill his waning love. Deeper and deeper grows the shadow, colder and colder grows his love, until —one day comes the end. Wearied of her." gloom and tears .he speaks his sharp reproaches; and they part in .:bitter anger. He goes off to the city and she sits nursing her dull heart-ache all day long. .*"-'-•;■■; Evening comes, but he does not re turn.' She watches and listens, but he does not come. She will not break her fast or quench her thirst: but he does not come. She hears the. trains come thundering in and hearkens for his foot step, but she: hears no sound. Quieter and quieter it grows. She waits for the midnight train. She watches at the gate, watches the load as far as she can see in the cloudy atmosphere- She whispers his name over and over. "Francis, Francis!* and pleads with him to come to her once more. "1 will never speak. impatiently again, never weary you, if you . will only come," she says. "Only come,- Francis, my love, myall!" - There is a great agony in her cry; but he does not come. The last train is in. There are no more trains till morning. Why does not the morning come? Oh, why? She flings herself upon the earth and grovels in her terror and suspense. "I nincis.imy love, my love! Only come back to me!'' J And dawn breaks and the sun is risen, and happy day smiles upon the earth. But he has not returned. * The servant goes about the house singing a careless song. Does the ser vant know the mistress' agony? ■■P" '-•/: Toward noon the servant goes ■ down to the village postoffice and presently returns with a letter. _ "(Jive it to me," the mistress says, her face whiter than the white sails on the distant water. . She is cold and dead at heart. She knows his handwriting. She must read and—live or die. The words'must burn through her eyes and fire her brain. Yet she does not cry out or fall swooning. She oilly reads and reads again his cold farewell. "Better for us to part at once. * *: * We have made a mistake. *.-..*.-' * Be fore reading this you will have heard of your husband's suicide. You drove him to It. He was a good husband to you and you deceived him. We might live on together even now, when love is dead, but you could hardly expect me to respect you, knowing your crime to wards him. * * * Pormy part I am heartily sorry. The servant had gone away, and the woman who read this fell down on her face upon the floor. "Hod!" she cried huskily; "my crime! He told me what to" do. He urged me—he implored. It was for his sake that I sinned, and now he turns to taunt me!"- ..; She,had cried her last strength of passion out with these few husky words. Now she lay silent for a time. It was the end. She saw that his love was dead and he could not respect her. She would not have him come back to her now. not for all the wealth id' the uni verse. She would not have him back. But how to live without him? How to live, to think, to breathe? How to keep from shrieking to heaven to let her die? Francis loved her no longer. The end hail come. It was Nemesis. She had wronged her husband; that husband's death avenged the wrong. All was over, and welcome death at any hour. The afternoon had dragged to* its close: the sun had set.and a soft breeze stirred the glorious trees in the road. Twilight deepened. -^SUgg A slender form went out of the house, and down the path, and through the gate. She did not look back, though she knew she was going out forever. She did not turn her white, pinched face upward for any starlight to bless. She walked with head bent down, cold as if half dead already. Sometimes she' said over to herself her name,'"lrene," and his name, "Fran cis." . '-■?,». J-Vi- Dusk was fully come as she left the road and went slowly down the railroad track towards the dark shadow of the deep cut. .;'"./■*:,.' Into the shadow she passed slowly, resolutely, iiiitremblingly. ■'; * '-- * *• =■ * * # * The train sped swiftly along. One man sat with head thrown back and eyes fixed upon the car lamps. "It is quite dark by this time," he said. "1 wonder if she is lonely. 1 wonder if she has cried much, and if she is wishing for me to come now. . . 1 shouldn't have written that letter. But she"!l forgive me. ... No; I was a brute, 1 suppose. . . . Still she made me so mad. And that infernal suicide. . . . She loved me very much: she must have loved me to go with me. Well, it's all over now. He's dead. We'll marry and she'll get over shed ding tears and moiling, She'll get over it when her health is better. ... I wish I hadn't written that letter. I'll not co it again. She must have loved me very much. 1 don't suppose, in her place, I'd have made the sacrifice. And blie's been very true and good to me." There was a queer vibration of the car. lie stopped thinking and sat up. The train was coming to an abrupt stop. This was not a station. They were not yet at Westtieid. Had anything hap pened—any accident? The train had come to a full stop. It was backing up now quite slowly. He thought be would go out oil the platform and see what the trouble was or had been. : '-'"•■"•"n'A-? I.'c s dvtivd a little at what he heard. Someone walking upon the track had been struck and killed. By-and-by, after considerable delay, he saw them lifting a white mass and carrying it upon a stretcher. They took it into the guard's van. He hurried forward from his carriage, as the train began slowly to move on ward. And now he shuddered more and more. For some one said: "A woman, young and beautiful.*' And someone else. "Mangled! No. not bleeding much." And still another voice said, "Yellow hair in curls, and slender form " He had reached the stretcher in the guard's van. He pushed through the men who stood talking with horrified countenances: he reached out anil lifted the covering from the dead face. "Merciful heavens!" he cried thickly. "Irene!" and fell senseless beside her. ***** And so, and so the railway ghost walks, ever sad and wan. below' the vil lage in the deep railway cut, the same on murky, nights as when the clear stars shine or the bland moon smiles upon the woes of many mortals. ;\-v' CONTRACT WORK.
