6 1 low—just imagine!— thera, is no pride like a pauper's is there?—but then I've been far from well for the last two weeks. Of oourse it cannot be love; no body gets ill from love, you know; but all I oan tell you is that 1 have been in a wretohed frame of mind ever since I saw you last, and tbat your ugly old face was as welcome—as welcome—bs a steamer chair to a drowuiug person there!" I bent formally enough over the little fragment of a band stiff io its glove, and repressed a sigh. Ugly! ill-dressed! queer! And I, too, dreamed dreams which this marvel of youth and beauty never so much as suspected. "I will go—and with your parly—and you mast give me one dance in the hall" I cried with all reasonable gayety. And go I did. It was like all other balls of tbe kind. There were the young women whom their own families "boom" as beauties, aad those whom society at large has a convention to call beauties. There were those whom the reporiers for some oc cult reason always push forward in the newspaper reports, and the belles from Boston who are uot recognized as such in New York. There were the English people whom all other English say are con sidered quits second-rate iv London. There waa tbe big black crowd of men, tbe blase' and tbe timid, blocking stu pidly the doorways, and there was that quick-eyed, quick witted army of youths and men the size of youths, tbe reason for whose existence is a mystery. Happy gnomes! who would begrudge you your unblushing assurance, your blithe frivolty ? Well, I would for one, whenever you sail eff in a dance with a woman who looks as if she were made for great things, but whose mouth, full of pearls, never by any chance lets drop a pearl of speech, a woman who looks built to do good to others, but whose education by foolish parents, or whose ingrained natuie, never leaves her room to think with pure unselfishness of any one but ber lovely self ! But bush, that is trea son aud heresy! Talking staidly to dowagers on tbe dais and watching the atmosphere thicken with dust and perfumes aud tbe fine emanations from whirling robes, I soon placed Jack, and recognized in bim a stalwart young fellow who was too poor to belong to the giddy boat, but too proud uot to be a gentleman. I saw the whole tragedy; how be would steel a Saturday and Sunday from the sweltering town only to tie.d Ma rion's time "taken" by the comparative ly rich Harry during all bis stay; bow he became madly in love and madly jealous; how he fumed to Marion and threatened to beat Harry as sound ly as the carpet of which he was knight; how Marion had to resent bis foolish 'alk, how they quarreled, made it up, and quarreled to make it up heartily no more. He followed her with his eyes, devour ing the figure of one he considered lost, yet purposely stood so that she could not see bim. To do her justice she was on tbe lookout for bim, and more than once stood irresolute, a beautiful statue of hesitation, mustering the black coats with tbe hope that he might shoulder his big way through the star veilings at the door. He saw it, too, con found him 1 And it gave him, I really believe, a mean sort of pleas ure. Once or twice she wav:d a ' favor in my direction, but I bowed a ' negative and an apology. Then I saw ' Jack edge round to the bead of the cotil lion and knew he meant to surprise ber 1 with a favor. He was not iv tbe dance, but be had the right by couitesy to an extra turn nhich auy leader of the co tillion who is a gentleman at heart is glad to recognize in men who have no partners. He was about to take a favor from the rack, now almost denuded of its brilliant burden, when Harry came up. Harry had no partner, since the weight ef cares on the shoulders of a leaner is too great to make it possible for him to do his work thoroughly and at tend to a companion. H trry arrested bis arm, and I saw Jack turn away with a black look that ought to have set Harry thinking. Jack strode over to Marion. I saw her rise, a litrle frightened, a little bewildered, and off they went entirely alone, just as Harry was about to start a new fignre with other couples. He rau up to them 1 to ask tuem to be seated, but Jack would ] not hear. Though his partner tried to ' stop, he carried her on. I could see the ' v ins on bis temples swell, and he dinced so as to make Harry skip sud ' dmlytoone side in order to avoid a ' collision. Marion was so deadly pale ' that I sprang up and came to the edge jof tbe dancing area in alarm. The train of ber dress slipped from ber hand, and before Jack knew it the two were bound together by its folds in such a way that none but the most expert dancer could have saved tbem. Alas, Jack, if no novice, was more than out cf practice; half a turn more, aud both fell, luckily near Ihe seated couples, bat so that Marion struck heavily on the floor and chair. Jack was slill more helpless, for his bead came thud against another chair and he lay still. I looked to see Horry rush forward to pick Marion up, hut he seemed readier to run away. He was furious at this blemish on his cotillion. I expeoted to bear Marion call his name or that of j Jack, lor in moments of fright and dan ger is it not natural tbat affection should reveal itself? Instead of that it was my ' name Marion called, and, obedient to \ the summons, she was in my arms and | hurried into the ladies' dressing-room , before half the room knew that anybody had been hurt. In the bustle incident ' on bringing Jack to his senses the fall of Marion was unnoticed. I went tbe other day to Marion's wed | ding, rather giddy in mind, but I hope always as a philosopher. After all, . what difference does it make whether tho woman for whom you secretly | cherished dreams as baseless as the clouds, marries Jack or marries Harry? 1 If it is Jack, she gets a big, good looking, manly, bulldog s irt of fellow, ' who will never give, her luxury, but will be faithful and steadily loving. If she marries Harry, she will have a good sbare and perhaps a large share of luxury, few children, and a certain recognition as a minor light in tbe fashionable world. I could not help smiling underneath n.y faoe to remem ber Harry's look a few diys after tbat ball, when be came into "Del's," as the gnomes of society call the restaurant of the swell mob. I regret to say that Jack bad got in some pretty work on tbe faultless face, in vulgar truth bad mauled poor Harry in a most brutal fashion with his fists, and Harry thought nobody could tell half tbe traces of that Homerio encounter. Turning at the altar I see both of Ihem behind me, reconciled, and turning back again I listen in a dazed way to ihe clergymen, and Rgaia awake to find myself in some inexplicable way, and by paths of wbieh to this moment I can give no lucid explanation—Marion's husband. —[New York Times. A Loader of Cotillions. One evening, from toy seat in tbe par ■quel, I >aw in an opeia box a vision of beauty, remarkable for tho sentiment expressed iv the pose und coatume. A .•quint through tbe glass revealed a friend, and a few minutes later I Waa seated noiselessly a few feet behind her listening to "Lohengrin" and enjoying, aot for the tint time, the charm of a nearly perfect woman. Who was it said that (iod Almighty tools twenty years to make a perfect woman? It waa true in this oate, and the few extra yean bad added something else that may have beeu a disturbing element, but only deepened tbe charm. Her proule oame against the dark lining -of the boxes across the way; her bead, like those of maidens iv the Panathe imbm procession, bent forward a trifle moodily; a small, pink, round ear was listening to the slow words of a youth directly at her back, and I thought the polished right shoulder—shoulders are immensely expressive sometimes—had a certain protesting turn to it. My admi ration for this lovely vision had been open enough the winter before to war rant friends in retailing all the gossip of the summer in regard to her, particular ly as to things I might be expeoted by no means to relish, and I sat wondering whether any of it was true, and whether 'the abstracted look in her face had to do with what 1 bad heard. Finally I examined tbe youth. He "proved to be a noted leader of cotillions, not born to New York, but already indisi ensible to young ladies and their mammas who give balls, rightfully esteemed, moreover, for bis taste in flowers and the fitting up of boudoir and drawing-room, lie, too, was worth •examining. I could not but think how nice of him it was that be, like tbe .young ladies, his patrons and clients, -should give so much time and pains to his dress. Handsome to begin with, although not cast in any heroic mold, he was exquisite as a bouquet that cornea from the florist's—exactly proportioned, . just right in the arrangement of the flowers, sweet-smelling and fresh, with the ice-water that artfully recalls dew glimmering neatly on rose and leaf. His face did not indeed sparkle, l.ut it was fresh colored and the blonde mustache curled with exact care at tbe right number of inches below the suggestion oi a curl on his white fore head. I envied heartily the perfect set of his coat, tbe uuwrinkled line of bis trousers, and the little patent-leather shoe that coyly peeped below. Tbe ■upper body was bent at just the right -angle at the waist, creasing slightly the starched white waistcoat with gold but tons. A flower corresponding with tbe bouquet that she bad laid ou tbe edge of tbe box was in the lapel, and bis gloved hands rested against each other lightly, yet with the motion of an appeal—an appeal belied, however, by the immo bility of bis face. I woudered if they were engaged, hoped they were not, and fortified tne hope of reflecting tbat be cause they were so alike in some things, because their names were connected, be cause it was to ihe world in all respects so fitting a match—just for those reasons they never would marry. The act ended and 1 waited for him to move, but be would not budge, though he saw me well enough and knew who I was. I bad to rise aud talk over bim. The warm look of friendship, the elabo rate glance my friend gave reuud about for a chair for me, were not enough to move him. She was determined, how ever; seeing tbat, he rose and bowed himself out. "Is it true?" said." I, nodding in bis direction. She looked away, frowned slightly, and said: "Take me round to Mrs. Norman's box; she is nearly alone, and there is so much chattering here." I reflected as we passed to the other ' box that last year she would not bave ' dared to suggest even such an innocent thing aa this. Once ensconced in the ' vestibule to the box of our kind chape- Tone a few questions brought a flood of Views. "I always told you tbat you have tbe gift of bringing confidence down on yourself. Well, yes, lam half engaged to that—to that—" "Leader of cotillions," I said gravely. She laughed. "He ia more than tbat; but am I not in so much danger as you may think. It is a tribute to my vauity to know that he is devoted to me. He is very intimate with girls who make me feel tbat I do not belong to them and theirs; that I am not rich; tbat I do not dress, live, and talk like them. They invite me to their big balls, but not to their special dances—don't you know ? And they ask him how bis swimming match girl is, because I was tho best swimmer last year at Narragansett. But" (and here she heaved a sigh) "there is another." "Great heavens! a third?" She eyed me with her candid orbs nnd forced a faint, faint smile. "Come! you know I never reckoned you among my conquests. You are be yond—above me. I cannot imagine you among them, and somehow should be •orry to class you with them. You are apart. You are my father confessor." "Go on, then, small penitent; perhaps •iter all I have heard of him, too." She gave me a wistful look out of large brown eyes, as much as to say: "Don't believe anything wrong of me tbat gossips may have reported;" waiter] * little, with her lovely bead on one aide, and then said: "Horry does lead tbe cotillion well, and he dances perfectly. Then at Nar ragansett be had bis horses, and made me nse one, though I told mamma it was not tbe right thing and would cause gossip. He monopolized every moment and Jack—that's the other one—had to right for half an hour's tulk. Bat Hai ry doesn't care for a swimming and I do 80 Jack and I saw each other a gooc deal on tbe beach. And even after we quarreled he would always swim ou when I got iuto deep water, so as to be near in case I needed bim. But o course I never took the slightest notice of bim then." "So, so? You quarreled! About tbe horses?" "Well, yes. He was jealous—and •aid things—and wanted to know if I was engaged—and made himself disa greeable generally. It isn't pleasant to keep two men apart who hate each other mortally—and somehow—to like one better than the other, and yet neither altogether." "Very hard, I doubt not," said I, •nd while saying it I was surprised to detect a bitterness in my tone. "I understand what you mean," she •aid quickly, "but you don't know everything, and me least of all," "I withdraw the least suspicion of irony you may bave thought to deteot in •what I said." "That is right; now you are my good old dear, to whom I can say anything I choose. Know, then, Haroun al Ras chid" (I started at tbe playful name she used the winter before, when for about three weeks I lived a series of foolish Arabian Nightf— until she cured me •uddenly), "know, then, Haroun al Ras cnid, tbat I am sure I do love Jack, after all, and would rather see his sulky face ten minutes than Harry ail day long " "Whioh can be taken two ways," quoth 1 to myself. "I am ill and dispirited. Harry is deep in his cotillions; he leads to-night. By tbe way.yon must go, too; I will not bear no. And I believe he is question ing whether he is not throwing himself away on me. I sent si ticket to Jack, bat I feel he won't cime; he detests dancing, and thinks yslmoaieo balls A scientific Combination.
