pupils of J. Marx. It was tho twonty-oighth
annual entertainment of tho kind hat Mr.
Marx has given.
Tho first port of tho programme, which
consisted of recitations, musical selections
and dialogues by Mr. Marx's young scholars,
was very interesting, tho violin playing of
Master Fred Schmidt being especially good.
Master Schmidt has not branched out as a
musical prodigy yot, but his plnylng last
night indicated considorablo knowlodgo for a
boy thirteen years old.
At 10 o'clock dancing began, and tho
Alumni Association of J. Marx's Bobool, with
their wives and sweethearts, kept the musi
cians busy until a lato hour.
Among, thoso present wero i
Mr. and Mrs. Uenry Stelter, Mr. and Mrs. John

Justly tired of tho nlgb-handed methods of the

Certainly, if this speech was truo Ellie Wil

kindness. Bho was very vretty, with a saucy,
eanny face, full of sparkle and animation,
and a dainty little figure, every movemont of
which was graceful.
But Carrie, only two years older than her
sister, and not twentv-two, without any great
beauty naturally, had through tho careless

Mm of a fall, which bad cut open one cheek,
leaving a long red scar, disfiguring hor for

hair, her clear complexion, were all lost sight
of in tho long, blood-red mark that covered
one side of her face from temple to chin. It
grew purple in the cold air, crimson in sum.
mer heat, but it never faded away.
It had been noor.Gorrie's cross from child
hood. Her school-life had been embittered
by the taunts of her companions, and sho
had shut herself up -in a great measure from
society, from her sensitive shrinking from
notice. It was not perhaps strango that
Ellio, praised and petted all her llfo for her
beauty, should also have given undue weight
to hor sister's misfortune. That Carrlo would
be an old maid and Ellio make a brilliant
match was a certainty in the minds of the
family and friends.
But relatives and friends alike were pleased
when Herbert Brandon, after thn death of
Mr. Wilson, becomo a constant visitor at the
house of tho orphan girls. Ho had been their
father's clerk ond later his junior partner,
and still carried on with on0 other surviving
partner the business of Wilson & Co., though
tbo head of tho house had been three years
dead at the timo my story opens. Business at
first, and afterwards certainly his own good
pleasure, brought him often to soo tho young
ladies and their aunt, who had filled their
dead mother's plaoo for many long years.
He was a man whose lovo would honor any

"How about tho quantity ond variotyof
tho flowers in tho inurkot this year?" was
askod.
" Ordinary rosos aro to bo had in abun
danco, but of tho finer specimens or solcctod
flowers tho stock is limited just now, and
prices for flowerB of tho best quality oro
high. Tho flowers most callod for amoug tho
roses oro La Franco, tho American Beauty,
Jacquomiuot, tho Brido, Mare'chal Miol,
Frances Bennett and Puritan. Thoso olwnys
hold their own. Tho Brido is tho most plen
tiful, but tho othors aro comparatively
scarce. Tho Amorican Beauty iB so callod
because it is tho only roal Amorican roso of
tho first quality, or tho handsomo group, an
it callod, that lias been produced hero. It
has only boeu out two seasons. It wuh first
grown in Washington and was tho result of
an accident moro than anything else.
" Thoro aro only a fow groworw who can
keep their rosos good permanently. By
means of breeding and forcing they caii
sometimes produce a very superior flower,
but only in small numbers. Tho roses noon
detoriorato. Tho American Beauty is tho
only success so far, aud it is already ono of
tho most popular flowers in tho market.
" Other popular flowers of tho holiday sea
son aro lilies of tho valloy, violets, mignon
ctto. tho Graco Wildor carnation and crimson
pink, tho two last being much used fur tho
purposo of producing brilliant contrasts.
Violots nro especially fashiouablo for corbago
bouquets, ond for wearing in tho streets aud
atithe thoatro ond opera, although, of course,
roses will always hold thoir own. There aro
throe varieties of violots now worn, tho
Suwnnco White, tho Bussian, which oro very
dark, almost black, and tho Mario Louise,
which is a dark, rich blue. They oro not nt
all plenty, and this winter a disease has at
tacked tho violots in tho greenhouses and
conservatories and destroyed a great many
of them. They area pood flower to trado in
now on account of their limited number, and
tho fact that thoy oro very porishable and
will wilt aftor tho first day thoy aro worn in
spito of oil that cun bo dona to preserve
them. They must bo picked fresh overy
morning and sold before night.
" Orchids uro another great flower just at
present, and thoy nro especially in demand
by fashionable peoplo, ond are used for hand
bouquets for demtUtutcs. Tho white, lavender
ond yellow varieties aro the most in voguo.
Ono of the handsomest varieties comes from
the eastern coast of Africa, and in sbapo ex.
octly resembles a butterfly, while its coloring
is gorgeous.
' ' Table decoration is on important branch
of tho florist's art, and a great deal of atten.
tion is bviing given to it this season. The
fashionable colors now Aro white, yellow and
iiink. For this purposo tho Amazon lily, tho
'uritan roso and lilies of tho valley aro in
great demand, besides the carnation pinks
that have already been referred to. Tho
Puritan rose is valuable becanso, on account
of tho closeness of its petals, it will keep
fresh so long. Looso decoration is tho stylo,
clematis vino ond maiden's hair fern being
strewn over the table and tho flowers mixed
in a manner that will contrast them with
each other, in mosses of different colors, and
with the glossy green of tho vines. Clematis
is excellent for this purpose, because it doos
not wilt so quickly as tho fern leaves do.
" On this account it is largely used for
ballroom decoration, whero tho same looso
arrangement of the vines and flowers is tho
rule this season. Tho flowers aro arranged
upon tho walls in largo-sized plaques, but
not in mixed colors, as formerly. It is now
considered in tho best tasto to mass tho col
on) as much as possible, so as to present
striking and ortistio contrasts. Tho large
and brilliantly colored Oriental flowers aro
used to bring out these off octs. Somo peoplo
aro carrying this theory of massing colors to
tho extreme, and have had tho different
rooms of their houses arranged with differ
ent colors, so as to mako tho contrast still
moro marked."
" How do prices for flowers range during
tho holiday season?"
" Taking only specimen flowers, that is,
thoso of tho best quality in tho market, tho
Sositivo pain whenevor sho thought that
iranville Ferguson was usurping Herbort's
place. Ho was n far handsomer man, woro
finer dress, had diamonds sparkling upon his
shirt-front and littlo finger, Uvea in hand,
somo chambers, and was tho pink of courtesy.
And yot Carrio did not llko him.
On tho day when Ellio so wilfully persisted
in aoccpting Oranville Ferguson's escort to
tho Park, Herbert was coming to spend tho
ovening, to try somo ducts. But Ellio said
Herbert and tho duots could bo had at any
timo, whilo skating was a luxury to be seized
whenever tho opportunity occurred.
So, when Granville Forgnson. in his jaunty
overcoat, with a tiny bouquet in his button,
nolo, mado his appearance justbeforo sunset,
ho found Ellio with tho now brown cashmero
and sealskin hat waiting for him, Bho had
put tho crispiest of rulllos into a rutf lined
with bluo silk, and the bewildering blito bow
undor her chin, and her hair was in tho puf
fiest of golden curia under tho rim of tho cap.
When the ornamental water, brilliantly
illuminated by the moon.was reached, Ellio's
feet could scarcely keep still to havo tho
skates fastened.
They wero woll mated upon tho ico, for
there wero few of her own box as graceful
and expert uion skates as pretty Ellio Wil.
son. In her eagor excitement sho overlooked,
entirely forgot, tho fact that tho party her
escort Lad promised to meet did not appear,
nnd she glided among the groups gathered
around her, nodding now and again to
friend or acquaintance, sparkling and happy.
She was becoming tired, aud turned to sug
gest to hor companion a few moments' rest
on the bank, when sho saw him accosted by
two men, who, without skates, wero standing
upon tho ico near him. Thoy wero not near
enough for her to hear tho convention, as
sho hud darted off a fow minutes before for a
long swoop on tho glassy surface of tho lako,
supposing Granvillo Ferguson followed bo
lide her.
It made her uneasy to see him walking
away with hla now companions, leaving her
alouo in tho crowd around hor, Sho knew
that it was getting lato. and already tho con.
course of people was thinning rapidly. There
was a long walk to bo taken, and sho was
growing conscious of curious looks directed
towards her. Granville Ferguson was no
longer to bo seen, uud hor louoliuess was be.
rouilPC almost unbearable, when hor friend.

Thoro in a rumor that tho timo which was
to bo devoted to tbo production of Oliver
Doud Byrun's Irish ploy, " Tho Soggarth,"
at tho Star TbeatruSu January will bo other
wise utilized if innilahlo attractions can bo
secured in its place. This play doos not seem
Iu havo met with much favor in Boston or on
tho road. Its Laiid-benguo flavor is said to bo
against it. Mr. Byron invested heavily in
" Tho Soggarth."
It is not often thnt ovon metropolitan
theatre-goors cair enjoy such an intellectual
treat as that offered to them last uight at tho
Academy of Music, when Messrs. Booth and
llarrott appeared respectively as Brutus aud
Cassius in " Julius Ctosar." Tho enormous
house was simply packed, and when it is
taken iqto consideration that Christmas audi
cuccs as7 a rulo liko their plays to bo of tho
romantlo ordor and strongly flavored with
lovo, tho tributo paid to tho talent
of Messrs. Booth and Barrett will bo
appreciated. "Julius Ciesar," so far
as language is conceruod, is ono of
Shakcsiiearoti finest works, aud in no play
could tho tragedians have bettor scope. Tho
porformunco laat night was brilliantly suc
cessful, uud at tho and of tho fiith not tho
enthusiasm of tho audionco could not aud
would not bo restrained. Mr, Booth was
called out four or tivo times, and tho ap.
plaudcrs wero torribly anxious to show that
it was Mr, Booth unit not Mr. Barrott thoy
wero honoring. Comparisons oro always
odious, but whilo it must bo confessed that
tho actor docs nut exist who could givo so
man ollously beautiful an impersonation of
Brutus as Air. Edwin Booth, it must also bo
admitted that tho same difficulty would not
bo felt in filling tho placo Occupied by Mr.
Lawreuco Barrett as Cassius. Mr. Barrett's
performance is just a triflo too theatrical,
and tho repose which Mr. Booth understands
so woll how to obtain is somewhat of an un.
known quality to Mr. Barrett. Yet tho trage
dians work harmoniously together, and
Mr. Barrott's intelligence makes his
Cassius distinctly worth seeing, Mr.
Buckloy as Mark Antony did
oxcellently in tho oration scene. '1 ho well
known "'Friends, Bomons, countrymen,"
was dolivorod in an extromely effective man
ner, and tho shading if tho expression bo
permissible was artistic. With the frenzied
mob Mr. Buckley, however, was somewhat
too phlegmatic. "Julius Co;sar" was well
staged. Tho mob wan woll drilled, and in
tho oration sceno tho convulsive sobbing ovor
Ciosar's body was oxquisitcly dono. Tho pro
duction altogether was a triumph. The en
gagement is for two weoks only, a fact to bo
regretted.
Mr. Bichard Mansflold drow a vory largo
audionco at tho Fifth Avenuo Theatro last
night, whou ho appeared as Dr. Jokyll and
Mr. Hydo in tho adaptation of Stovonsou's
book. It is in this play that Mr. Mansfield's
art assents itself undeniably and claims for
the young actor a placo in the consideration
of metropolitan audiences. Mr. Mans
fiold docs somo exceedingly effoctho
work as Dr. Jokyll and Mr.
And Mr. Morrison, seeing tho gathering
pallor of tho pretty; faco, hastily sought a cub
and put Ellio into it, his wifo following.
In the mean timo Carrio, in tho quiet dress
sho always woro, thinking regretfully that
finery of any kind would only maku moro
conspicuous tho disfiguring scar upon her
face, waited for Herbert. Sho could not help
n littlo thrill of pleasure ut tho thought of a
quiet oveniug with him alono, for her aunt
generally nodded in silonce over her knitting.
She had faithfully tried to keop Ellio ut
homo; that having failed, sho could enjoy tho
ovening. Ellio was very oxacting of htr lov
er'sattentious, if lover ho was, keeping him
beside hor constantly; whilo Carrio, as was
habitual with her, kept in tho background,
listening to her Bister's lively chat, and won.
doring why bho could never jest and frolio
with Herbert.
Tho littlo mantel clock was striking 8 when
he came. Aunt l'nuny, who had been all day
shopping in tho keen winter air, had yielded
to the drowsy influence of the worm room,
and was quietly asleep in her armchair; but
Carrio was awako, aud went forward to meet
tho visitor.
" I ora very sorry Ellio is out," sho said,
"but I'll try tho duets with you, if you
wish."
A look of plensuro flashed into Herbert's
faco, but shy Carrio, looking down, missed
" Bnt you usually havo Ellle."
" Ellie docs not sing as well as you do.
nor voice is not asgood und she is careless.
But before wo try the duots sit hero a littlo
whilo and talk to me. I so soldom soo you
alone."
She sat down, wondering a Utile at tho ro.
quest, but tho woudor grew doeper as Her.
bort tnlked to her. Littlo by littlo tho truth
came homo to her that Hcrbort Brandon was
glad, not sorry, to find Ellio uoue, that tho
words her sister had spoken iu jest, suppos
ing them far from any truth, wero indeed a
fact, aud that it was her own plain faco. not
Ellio's pretty ono, Herbert came to see. In
words whose rami at truth could nut bo
doubted Herbert told htr how her gentle
sweetness, her useful, cheerful life hail won
his lovo, aud that his hope of happiuoss for
llfo rested upon her answer to tho simple, un
uiistakablo question that came at lost :
" Will you bo my wife, Carrio ? Can you

" A Bun of T.uok," which was produced nt

tho Grand Opera. House Inst night witli thn
abMi'dities of " Turned Up," which is called
a inelodroiiiatic farce comedy, though it was
impiously thought that imdodrnmn und farce
blended about as well as oil and wnter. Mr.
Goodwin was Carawny Bones, and whilo hn
was un tho stago tho nudieiico simply shouted
itself hoarse. Peoplo talk of tho powor of
olectrifiying an audionco that Mr. Douth pus
bckscr. Let them not speak lightly of tho
art of convulsing on audience, which also is
something not to bo despised, and which Mr.
Goodwin understands from its alpha to
omega. " Lend Mo Five Shillings" was also
produced, with Goodwin as Mr. Golightly.
It wns tho first timo that the genial comedian
had played tho port in this city, but from
tho way in which ho wns received last night
it will not aud ought nut to bo tho last.
Thn Hanlons in " Lo Voyogo on RuIsro" nt
tho Fourteenth Street Theatro, introduced
Rnvorol novelties into their merry triflo. Tho
piny is moro amusing than over a rathor
suporlativo statement.
" Fun on tho Bristol," at n. It, Jacobs's

Widow O'Brieu was effectively amusing.

" numpty Dnmpty," who from timo Im
memorial has sat on a wall, was'tho name of
tho pantomime at tho Windsor Theatro last
night. It was Tony Deniur's original
"Humpty Dnmpty," which is, of course,
worth remembering. Miss Mario Gilchrist
was tho most entertaining member of tho
company. As littlo Miss Mullet sho was very
runUBiug.
"Onn'of tho Bravest" ot Toolo's Theatro
last night attracted a largo audionco. Larry
Howard climbs a ladder and rcscuos two
women from tho third Btory of a burning
liouso. ThiH thrills tho audionco and it is
kept "thrilled" during tho evening.

Gold ond silvor woro sido by sido in a
Third avenuo olovatcd train from uptown.
A littlo girl had tho gold. It crowned her
dainty head, strayed in light waves from be
neath hor natty cap aud -partly framed tho
fairy beauty of tho childish faco. Hor dyes
woro bluo, hor none ended iu a bewitching
littlo turn, just short of a pug ; sho had n
ripo strawberry mouth and a ohin of Nature's
deftest curving.
Once, at something funny caught in n
glimpse as tho train whirled on, sho laughed
a littlo, purling laugh and glanced quickly
towards tho faco of tho old man in tho next
seat.
Ho had tho silvor. It was in locks that
woro thinning fast with the years, and into it
on either sido pierced tho bows of tho specta
cles that ho had carefully adjusted before
opening bin morning paper. Ho, too, had
bluo eyes, and thoy woro kindly ones, looking
out of u faco as kindly as thoy. One hand, as
he hold his papor, foil on tho arm of tho scat
separating him from tho littlo girl.
It was too plain to tho other passengors.
no was tho ideal grandfather to tho littlo
Goldilocks. It didu't need her quick glanco
towards his faco to toll thot. Thero wero tho
oyes, tho features, ovorything.
Tho passengers who woro not too busy with
a day's plans of their own looked at tho pair
aud smiled softly and drow their own conclu
sions and pictures.
But at Chatham Square tho littlo girl
changed for tho City Hall and tho old man,
who wont on to South Ferry, novor raised
his eyes from his papor. Ho and tho Goldi

Ho know his lovo was returned when tho
shy but huppy eyes wero raised to his own.
Yet involuntarily ono littlo whito hand was
raised tu cover tho disfiguring scar. Tenderly
Herbert prisoned.it, and pressed his own lips
upon tho check.
" Lot mo help you to forgot that," he whis
pered, Thoy tnlked loug ond earnestly, each
learning something unguesscd bo f oro of tho
other's hcurt-confidenco, till tho clock
chimed 11.

starting at the sound.
" Whero has she gone ?"
" To Hydo Park with Granvillo Ferguson."
Herbert started as if ho hod boeu shot.
" Granvillo Ferguson ! Carrie, I must go

Somo of her friends will surely bo thero."
" Whv. what is tho matter?" asked Carrjo,
frightened at his evident ogitntion,
"I meant to tell you this ovening, but I
forgot everything cUo when I found you
alouo, Carrie. Granville Ferguson is ono of
a gang of forgers. Hill Lyman is a very in
timuto friend of one of tho detectives, ond
this afternoon ho told mo they had secured
the proofs against him for which they had
been waiting fur months. Ho has in his pus.
session this evening a largo sum derived
from forgery, and ho was doubtless arrested
at tho Park. Hill told mo tho whole plan
ond invited mo tu go uut nnd ' see the tun,'
as ho expressed it ; but seeing no fun in the

"Shospokoot somo ladies Mr. Forguson

cryiug ot tho thought of her sister's position,
" but I do not know who thoy wero, Sho
always docs meet friends at tho Park, but I

descried. It wns hsoIcbs to seek for Ellio at U
that hour anionc her laru'o circle of friends, ,sM
mid Herbert could only return to Carrie with &
his tldincs. wl
Auut Fnuuy was awako nnd thorotiBhly tor-
rifled liy that time. Hlio enjoyed a sensafioa
nud seldom had so fine an opportunity for 'iflfl
hysterics, and so fell into thorn on the spot. -31
It was a dreary night for Chrrie after Her.
liort left, for sho could not listen to her 'V
mint's dismal forebodings without soma 'i3ar
nnswcriui; fear in her own heart. But quite) mm
early nil terror was dissipated- by Ellio's ap- 'llB
pcaranco. B
" I enmo as early as thoy would let mo," sho :,
said, after telling tho event ot the evenihg: .31
" but I havo not closed my eyes all night. I al
know you would bo uneasy about mo." m
Sho looked' palo aud wan, and Carrie saw -Ml
that there was n deeper sorrow than sho con- MW
fussed iu hor wnrui heart. Sho bustled about, 91
insisted upon putting her to bed to rest, -m
brought her up a cup of coffee and petted her SI
in a loving, tender fashion that Ellie could jM
not resist. For after a short struggle with $J
herself, she whispered : " I am ashamed of it, W
Currio, now ; but I did liko him so much, M
that when ho asked m9 this afternoon to it
marry him I only put him off for a few days, m
meaning to say yes then. I did not quite liko M
to vugago myself till I had told you and Aunt la
Fnu. Currio, was Hcrbort hero ?" Jg
" Yes dear. Ho wont to the Park for you t '9
but you wero gone." M
" llo is always kind," sighed poor Elite. ,,-J
" I dun't lovo Herbert. Carrie, but I think -fl
ho's the best friend wo have, Carrie I "for XM
Carrie's faco certainly told Bcoretsin spite of .-m
her offorts to keep down the blushes " Car- f '
rio, look nt met I will seel" and sho lifted 91
tlio shy, drooping face. " Is he to bo my IM
brother ?" ''
" Ves, dear ; ho has applied for the situ. .rxH
tion." 'MM
"You absurd littlo thing! Thero, don't tjJH
try to explain anything. I'll be your brides. 'dvS
maid ; and mind, Carrio, it is an immense re. '
liof to my mind to think I can flirt as muoh HH
na I plcaso aud go whero I like without your Wfl
piteous 'What will Herbert say? for it ap. .Ktmm
pears to rao ho has said his soy,' as tho old Hh
women express it, to some purpose." mmt
vAud, after all, tho rod scar was hidden by JrSBI
a bridal veil, and Hcrbort Brandon sees no JHL1
faco so fair in his eyes as tho disfigured eu iH
of his gentle, loving wife, ; rmm
