CHARACTER
IN EATING
Woman's Nature Discloses
Itself at Ale?is.
SIZE OF THE MOUTHFUL
How to Teil the Kind of Girl Who Will
Make a Desirable Wife?She
Who Will Be
Good.
The subject of eating has so enlisted
a German scientist's Interest that ho
has mado tabulations as to the actual
process. The size ol tho ordinary bite
or mouthful for the average person, ho
finds, Is three-tenths of a cubic Inch.
And it takes thirty seconds completely
to mast?cate a mouthful of solid food
llko beefsteak or cheese. Tho size of
tho largest bito recorded Is half an Inch
In diameter. Tho tonguo guides ns to
tho size of mouthfuls to be swallowed,
tho tongue's judgment being helped by
sensations through tho teeth nnd gums.
There Is no knowing whether the pro?
fessor made 'his observations around a
camp llro when tho eaters were off
guard and etlquetto'ln nbeyance, or In
formal dining-room circles. But It Is
certain that Into eating there goes con?
siderable Individual expression, nnd tho
demeanor and practico nt meal times
hecomo significant of the person's gen?
eral temper and qualifications. Here
arc Fciitio that a woman has Interpreted:
THE SELFISH FEEDER.
The woman who, as she eats, flushes
noticeably, swallows her food rapidly,
almost In Jerks, and keeps continually
tjirnlng over tho morFels on lier plate,
Is she to whom material things mean a
good deal. She Is selfish and capable of
being spiteful. However fair and
shapely In youth, she will bo stout at
forty.
The girl who looks pretty when she
eats Is tho vivacious, dimpling sort of
girl, who makes Into new life when she
sings or talks or laughs. She puts small,
nicely proportioned mouthfuls between
her pretty rod lips with a dainty pre?
cision that makes It seem a nice atten?
tion on her part really to eat the food.
And she manages her knife and fork
as though she mado a plcasuro of It,
Imparting a certain grace and facility
to tho operation. Her eating manners
betokens a sunny temper and a dispo?
sition to make the best of things.
THE NERVOUS GIRL.
Tho nervous girl caji be told by the
manner In which she breaks her bread
and sips her soup. She eats In a quick,
voracious manner, even though eating
little, and with evidently very limited In?
terest in tho food for Its own sake. Such
a girl will never have tho force or cour?
age to pursue her nmbltions. She would
be crushed by adversity rather than re?
bound from it. And a friend to confide
In and rely upon is a necessity to her.
Tho girl who eats steadily ns though It
wore a business to bo got through, not
sparing much Interest to tho talk going
on around or to tho rellshahlo qualities of
the viands. Is tho systematic, practical
girl who will mako a good wlfo and or?
derly housekeeper. She would look natur?
ally to tho main chance In househould or
business Investment, he thrifty and eco?
nomical, nnd not. apt to bother her hus?
band or friends with flighty, erratic ten?
dencies.
The girl of heedless view Is told by the
spoon, left upright In the half-drained
cup, tho knife nnd fork left at cross an?
gles or balanced ticklishly on the plate,
nnd tho chair pushed baok Just as ?he
arose from It. She Is of Insensible, un
cilscrlmlnatlng nature, with little chance
to develop an interest in the finer things
of life. AVhen she becomes a housekeeper
her servants will he slatternly and the
nicer points of convenience and house?
hold comfort will be missing.
STRONGMLVDEDiVESS
The girl who eats onions in every
form, not so much because she likes
them ns because she believes them to
bo wholesome; who eats cereals on prin?
ciple and abstains religiously from des?
serts and sugary confections that she
deems pernicious. Is the sort to develop
strongmlnc?edness njid Independent pro?
clivities before she is out of her twen?
ties.. Rho will make a good wife, but not
a comforlablo one. Sho Is the sort of
woman to get for herself a hobby and
never quit riding It.
The girl who eats very slowly, even
while not consuming much, munching
her mouthfuls deliberately and surely,
Is of impractical turn, given to under?
valuing things that the majority of
people count as of most consequence.
She Is fastidious and aesthetic, destined
never to make much show In the world,
nnd to care little for that fact so long
as she has leisure and a well ordered
existence.
The sort of girl to make a good help?
meet for a man Is she whoso organ of
taste Is as alert ns her other faculties;
who eats In a noticing, discriminating
way that Implies her recognition of the
Importance of matters usually considered
humdnim. Sho does not hesitate to In?
terrupt the most Interesting talk hy
asking for another helping or for somn
condiment she lacks, and shows plainly
her belief that the embroidery ?if life
should he subordinate to the main ma?
terial.
LOQUACITY AT VABLE.
The girl, on tho other hand, who Is so
teken up with the topics under discussion
that she forgets to eat and has her piales
In" the various courses horno awn y before
she has more than tasted them. Is 111
1 It tod for the sterner duties of life. She
Will always be entertaining herself with
whims end illusions while real opportuni?
ties ?lido by. She will luck Judgment
and make mistakes, but will be n warm?
hearted, dependable mntn to the hus
luiiiil whoso nature Is strung enough to
guide her.
The girl who, In tho ordinary routine of
hoarding-house or hotel life, hurries
through her meal, even though sho has
leisure in plenty, and never fails to
gather plates and dishes und pilo them
for the waller's benefit, Is one to whom
dispatch end system are Inborn, and the
suhtlcr things of life meaningless. She
cumas from a stock of sleudy-golng
housewives so engrossed with the home?
ly round of existence that tlioy had no
ilmn to cultivate the graces, if such
a woman hud millions und untold luxury
within her grasp she could not rid her?
self of these slavish housewifely pro
I>i usitles.
For a woman to slouch forward
in her seat, wind her feet around
the back legs of her chair and full to
with knife and fork la a sure sign of
grosaneas of temper and dull or untrain?
ed perceptions, She Is the sort of wo?
man who could derivo amusement from
Vulgar sources and whose appetite would
not be Interfered with by anything else
about her.

THE TWOVANREVELS
By BOOTH TARK1NQTON.
Copvrlf-ht by McCluro, Philips & Co.
V ___^/
CHAPTER IX.?(CONTINU-'"--'*)
Cralloy had been so long In I be habit
of following ?very Impulse, no matter
how mad, that he enjoyed on almost per
feet Immunity from condemnation, and,
whatever his deeds, Rouen had learned
to say, with a chuckle, that It was "only
Cralloy Gray again." But Mb Mlovt6,tt
were not so privileged. Thus when J-ir.
?ray, who In his libation? sometimes
doveloped the humor of an urchin, went
to the Pound at three In the morning of
New Year's day, hung slelgh-bclla about
tho nocks of tho cattlo and drove them
up nnd down the streets, himself hideous?
ly blowing a bass horn from the back of
a big brown steer, those roused from
slumber ceased to rage, and accepted the
exploit as a rare Joke on lenrnlng that
It was "only Cralloy Gray"; but V10 un'
fortunate young Chenoweth was heavily
frowned upon and properly upbraided
becauso ho had followed In tha wake
of tho bovino procession, mildly attempt?
ing to piny upon a flageole!.
Cralley never denied a folly nor defend?
ed an escapade. The lattor was always
dono for him, because ho talked of his
"gracolcss misdoings" (so ho was wont,
smilingly, to cnll them), over cups of tea
In the afternoons with old ladles, lament?
ing In his musical ?voice, the lack of fe?
male relativos, to guide him. Ho was
charmingly attentive to tho elderly wo?
men, not from policy, but becauso his
manner was uncontrollably chivalrous;
and, ever a gallant listener, wore the
speaker young, old great, or humble, ho
never forgot to catch tho last words of
a -sentence, nd soldom suffered for a re?
ply, even whon ho had drowsed through
a question.' Moreover, no one over heard
him speak a sullen ' word, nor saw
him wear a brow of depression. The sin?
gle creed to which ho was constant was
that of good oheer; ha was the very
apostle of gayoty, preaching It In parlor
and bnr; and made merry friends /-wlth
battered tramps and homeless dogs In
tho streets at night.
Now and then ho would spend several
days In the offices of Gray & Vanrevol,
attorneys, and counsellors-at-Iaw, wear?
ing an air of unassailable virtue; though
he did not far overstato tho case when
he said; "Tom does all tho work and
gives mo all tho money not to bother him
when he's getting up a case."
Tho working member of tho firm got
up cases to notable effect, and few- law?
yers In the State enjoyed having Tom
Vanrevel on tho other side. There was
nothing about him of tho floridlty preva?
lent at that time; ho withered "oratory"
before tho court; ho was tho foo of Jury
pathos; nnd, despising noise and the hab?
itual voice-dip at the end of a sentence,
was, nevertheless, nt times an almost
fearfully effective orator. So, by degrees
the f.Tm of Gray & Vanrevel, young as
It was, and In spite of tho Idlo apprentice,
had grown to bo the most prosperous In
tho district.
For this eminence Cralloy was never ac?
cused of assuming" tho credit Nor did he
over miss an opportunity of making
known how much he owed to hitf partner.
What ho owed, In brief, was everything.
How well Vanrevel worked as demon?
strated every day, 'but how hard he
workod, only Cralloy knew. Tho latter had
grown to depend upon him for oven his
political beliefs, nnd lightly followed his
partner Into abolitionism; though that
was to risk unpopularity, bitter hatred,
and worse. Fortunately, on certain occa?
sions. Vanrevel had made himself (If
not his creed) respected, at least so far
that there was no longer danger of mob
vlolenco for an abolitionist In Rouen.
He was a cool-headod young man ordi?
narily and possesessed of an elusive force
fulness not to bo trifled with, though he
was a quiet man, and had what they
called a "fino-manner." And, not In tho
latter, but in his dress, there was an
echo of tho beau, which afforded Mr. Gray
a point of attack for sallies of wit; there
was a touch of the dandy about Vanre?
vel: he had a large and versatile ward?
robe, nnd his clothes always fit him not
only in line, but in color; even women
saw how nobly they wore fashioned.
These two young men wore members
of a cheerful band, who feasted, laughed,
wrangled over politics, danced, made
love, and sang terrible chords on sum?
mer evenings together, as young men
will. Will Cummings, editor of tho
Ponen Journal, was one of these; a
tall, sallow man, very thin, very awk?
ward and very gentle. Mr. Cummings
proved himself always ready with a
loud and friendly laugh for tho poorest
Joke In the world, his countenance
shining with such kindness that no one
over had -the heart to reproach him
with the evils of his Journalistic per?
formances, or for tho things ho broke,
whon ho danced. Another was Tapping
ham Marsh, an exceedingly handsome
person, somewhat languid In nppearance,
dainty In manner with women, offhand
with men: almost as reckless as Cralley,
nnd often the tatter's companion and
assistant In dissipation. Young Francis
Chenoweth never failed to follow both
into whatever they planned; he was short
and pink, and tho uptllt of his nose was
coherent with tho appealing earnestness
which was habitual with him. Kugena
Mudrillnn was the sixth of theso Int??
males; a dark man, whose Latin eyes
and color advertised his French ances?
try as plainly as his emotionless mouth
end lack of gesture betrayed tho mingling
of nnother strain,
All these-, and others of tho town, wero
wont to "talk politics" a great deal at
tho little club on Main Street, and all
wero apt to fall foul of Tom Vanrevel
or Cralley Gray before tho end of any
discussion. For those wore tha days
whon they twisted the Lion's tail In vehe?
ment nnd h? tor earnest; when Ihe eagle
screamed: In mixed figures; when few
men knew how to talk, and many orated;
i v.hen party strlfo was snvagoly personal;
when Intolerance was called tho "puro
j fire of patriotism"; when criticism of the
[ existing order of things surely Incurred
fiery anathema and black Invective; nnd
brave was he, indeed, who dnrod to hint
that his oouatry, as a whole and poll
tic-ally, dlcVIuck some two or three par?
ticular virtues, and that tha first stop
toward obtaining them would ba to help
It to realizo their absence.
This lattar point of view was that
of the firm of Gray ?S- Vanrevel, which
was a unit in such mattors. Crulloy
did most of the talklng-riulto beauti?
fully, too-and both had to stand
against odds in many a sour argument,
for they were not only Abolitionists,
but opposed tho attitude of their coun?
try in Its difficulty with Mexico; nnd.
In common with other men of the time
who took their stands, they had t*> grow
accustomed to being called disloyal trait?
ors, foreign toadies, mallgnants and tra
ducors of the flag, Tom had long benn
used to optthetB of this sort, suffering
their sthiK in c;uiot. and was gh-id when
he could keep cralley out of worse em
plr.yni.i.t (han standing' firm for an tin
??popular belloj.
Thoro was one place to which Vanrevel,
seeking hU frloud and partner,-when the
latter did ria,t ,-nme home at night, could
nol go; (his was the tower chamber, and
It was In t'uit mysterious apartment of
the Carewe cupola, that Cralley was apt to
be deeply occupied when he remained
away until daylight- Strange as it ap?
pears, Mr. Gray maintained peculiar rela?
tions of Intimacy with Robert. Carewe. In

That house was the most hosplta
In Rouen. .Always cheerfully "fully

There was a thin, quizzing shank of
son, Jefferson, who lived upon qulnlfi
ague nnd deviltry'; and there were tv
daughters, Fanchon and ATIrglnIa. Tl
latter was three years older than Fai

I though not nearly so pretty; a sma
good-natured, romping sprite of a. gli
who had Jianded down the heart ar
hand of Cralley Gray to her 6ister wli
the best grace In the world. For si
had been the heroine of one of Mr. Gray
half-dozen or so most serious affair
and, after a furious rivalry with M
Carewe, the victory was generally cor
ceded to Cralley. His triumph had be?
of about a fortnight's duration who

the elder, who had decided that Cralle
was the incomparable sho had drenmo
of since Infancy, wns generously nllowe
to discover that he was not that vlsion
that she had fallen In love with her ow
idea of him; whereas Fanchon cared onl
that he be Cralley Gray, whatever kin
of vision that was. And Fanchon ?lis
covered that It was a great many kind!
The transfer was made oomfortablj
with nice Judgment of a respectable In
terfegnum, and to the greater happl
ness of each of tho three young people
no objection ensuing from the easy-go
Ing parents, who were devoutly font
of Cralley, while the town laughed am
said It was only that absurd Cralle;
Gray again. He and Virginia were th<
best of friends, nnd acenpted their n?v
relation with a preposterous lack of em
pnrrassment.
To bo In love with Cralley became Fan
chop's ?vocation; sho spent all her time
nt It, and produced a blurred effect upor
strangers. The only man with whom sh?
seemed quite alive was Vanrevel; a little
because Tom talked of Cralley, and a
great deal because she could talk ol
Crnlley to Tom; could tell him freely, as
sho could tell no ono else, how wonder?
ful Cralley was, and explain to him her
lover's vagaries on the ground thnt It was
a necessity of genlouses to bo unlike tho
less gifted. Nor was sho alone in sus?
pecting Mr. Gray of genius; in tho first
place, ho was so odd; In tho second, hla
pnorns were "already attracting more
thnti local attention," as the Journal re?
marked, generously, for Cralloy had
censed to present his rhymes to that val?
uable paper, Ay I Boston, no less, was his
mart.
?.o was rather radical in his literary
preferences, and hurt the elder Cheno
wath's feelings by laughing heartily at
ronie poems of tho late Lord Byron;
offended many people by disliking the
style of sir Edward Bulwer, and even
refused to admit that James Fenlmore
Coopof was the greatest novelist that
ever lln-ed. But these things were as
nothing compared with his uripatrlotlo
defense of Charles Dickens. Many Amer?
icans had fallen into a great rage over
tho vivacious assault upon the United
States In "Marin Chuzzlewlt" ; neverthe?
less. Cralloy si 111 boldly hailed him (as
everyone had heretofore agreed) the most
notable humorist of any day. Of course,
the Englishman had not visited and tho?
roughly studied such a city as Rouen,
Cralley confessed, twlnkllngly; hut, af?
ter all, wasn't there some truth In "Mar?
tin Chuzzlewlt?" Mr. Dickens might have
been tar from a clear understanding of
our people,; but didn't It argue a pretty
ticklish vanity In ourselves thaj. we were
?so fiercely resentful of satire; and was
