Paris, April 1.—When Eas'or day breaks it will break the heart of many a feminine soul, unless ail Easter Tradi tion goes astray this year. Easier 7 is scheduled to be rainy. The weather prophet has predicted it. and the ground-hog has shown it, and thercfi it is that so many have provided ik .u selves with rainy day dresses, tu case Easter should not be all that it ought Now. this is nut to say that all worn* n have provided themselves with East-r gowns for a rainy Sunday, hut only that the prudent ou *s hav« selected an Easter dress than can bo worn should the skies be showery. An Easter ra does not mean a downpour; u m* a.* only a friendly sprinkle, but one ti is ruinous to delicate colors and light fabrics. CREPON AGAIN.

Despite his rather indolent, effeminate air which was mainly the result of his education. Luke Jordan was a fine-looking fellow and not easily moved from his self possession. but he colored and grew con fused beneath the sharp, scrutinizing look. ••ye3. sir. I spoke to Miss Mary last eve ning. and she-she referred me to you.” The old man’s face softened. “Mary Is a good girl, a very good girl, he said, stroking his chin with a thought ful air, “and she deserves a good husband. What can you do?” The young man looked rather blank at this abrupt Inquiry. “If you refer to my ability to support a wife. I can assure you -” “I know you are a rich man. Luke Jor dan. but I take It for granted that you ask my girl to marry you. not your pro perty. What guarantee can you give me. in case it should be swept away, that you could provide for her a comfortable home? You have hands and brains—do you know how to use them? Again. I ask you. what ean you do? I believe you managed to get through college—have you any profes sion?” “No. sir: I thought-’* “Have you any trade?” “No. fir; my father thought that with the wealth I should inherit, I should not need any.” “Your father thought like a fool. then. He'd much better have given you some honest occupation and cut you off with a schilling—it might have been the making of you. Here you are. a strong, able bodied young man. 24 years old. and nev er earned a dollar in your life! And you want to marry my daughter.” resumed the cld man. after a few vigirous puffs at his pipe. “Now. I’ve given Mary as good ad vantages for learning as any girl in town, and she hasn’t thrown them away; but if she didn't know how to work she'd be no daughter of mine. I'll tell you what I'll do_£o to work and prove yourself to bo a man; perfect yourself in some occupa tion—! don't care what, fo it be honest: then come to mo. and If the girl be will ing. she Is yours.” As the old man said this he deliberately knocked the ashcs'out of his pipe against one of the pillars of the porch where he was sitting, put it Into his pocket, and turned into the house. Pretty Mary Biifklns was waiting to see her love down at the garden gate, their usual trysting place. She smiling .light faded from her eyes as sha noticed his sober, discomfited look. “Father moans well," she said, as Luke told her tlie result cf his application. “And I’m not sure but what he's about right.” she resumed, after a thoughtful pause,, “for it seems to me that every man. be ho rich or poor, ought to have some occupation. I’ll wait for you. Luke." Luke Jordan suddenly disappeared from his accustomed haunts, much to the sur prise of his gay associates. But wher ever lie went, he carried with him in his exile these words, which were like a tower of strength to his soul, “I'll wait for you. Luke.” one pleasant, sunshiny morning, late in October, as Farmer Blifkins was propping up th»i grapevine in his front garden that threatened to break down with the weight of its luxuriant branches, a neat-looking cart drove up, from which Luke Jordan alighted with a. quick spring, quite in contrast with his former easy, leisurely movemen's. "Good morning. Mr. Blifkins. T under stand that you wanted to buy some elder berries. I think I (have some here that will suit you.” "Whose make are they?" inquired tho old| man. as. opening the gate, he paused by the wagon. t "Mine.” replied Luke, with an air of pardonable pride. Mr. Blifkins examined them critically one by one. "They'll do," he said coolly, ns he set down the last of the lot. "What will you lake for them?" "What I asked you for six months ago to-day—your daughter, sir.” , The rougish twinkle in the old man's eyes broadened into a rmile. "You've the right metal in you. after all," he cried. "Come in, lad—come in. I shouldn't wonder if wo made a trade, after all.” Mary tripped out into the entry. Her round, white arms were bared above.tho elbows, and bore traces of the Hour she had been sifting. The old man regarded his daughter for a moment with a peculiar look. “Mary, this young man—mayhap you have seen him before—has brought mo a lot of tubs pi.d barrels, all of his own make—a right good article, too. He asks a good, heavy price for ’em; but if you are willing to give it. well and good: and hark ye. my girl, whatever bargain you make your old father will ratify.” Luke Jordan every year, on the annivers ary of his marriage, delights ids father in-law by some specimen of the handi craft by which he won what he declares to be "the best and dearest wife in the world.”—New York News. --o THE REGULAR RATli The Young Woman in the Case Had ne< n Accustomed to a Certain Price. Again we are called upon the chronicle the infinite superiority of the famous Washington girl. This time she has transferred the field of her genius to New York City, whero the peopl ethink they know everything, and about a thousand times as much more, and then some more. She had boarded a street car up town, coining out of a store with her gloves off, for some reason or other best known to herself. Possibly it was a glove store. Whatever it was she had her gloves off, and it was proper and correct for her io have them off, dr she would have had them on. Thera were not more than eight or ten people In the car, and when she had taken her seat, she began to put her gloves on. When they were both on she took out of her pockethook a dainty little silk glove huttoner, and proceeded to button the ona on her left hand. In doing so the huttoner slipped from her lingers and fell to the floor of the car. Immediately the chappie-looking young man with a Iiock of Gibraltar in his face stooped to pick the huttoner up. and hav ing got it in hi* hands, he rose, smiling, and, much to her surprise, offered to but ton the glove. For an instant she acted about as the average girl would have done, and then the Washingtonian genius came to her aid, and smiling kindly, she held out her hand to him in compliance with his re quest. She sat perfectly unmoved as he took about twice as long to it as there was any need of. and as soon as he had finished it she calmly held out the other. He didn't quite expert this, evidently, but he had his nerve with him. and more smilingly than ever, he took her hand in his and buttoned the other glove. Taking the button hook from his unre sisting fingers, she took out her pocket book to replace it. and finding in It n .nickel, with the most innocent munnor in the world, she handed It to the young man. With all his nerve he couldn’t stand this, and he promptly returned it, at the same time making some kind of protest, which she did not pay any attention to, but tookll the coin back and proffered a dime la Its stead. This was also returned with quite a show of Indignation. “Why,” she exclaimed, with that s. beautiful artlessness, "I never give more than ten icents at home to have my gloves buttoned.” Everybody in the car heard her say it, of course, and before anybody had stop ped laughing the gallant glove buttoner had escaped from the car and disappeared. —Washington Post. HIS POLITICAL CAREER. “Yes, I help a public office once,” said the man in the mackintosh, as he pro ceeded to light a cigar—and the others hastened to get to windward of him. “Have a contract for sweeping it out?” queried the man with the green j goggles. “Somebody die and will it to you? asked the man who had his feet on the table. “You have never been in public life, ! either of you.” he retorted. “That's all that ails you fellows. I don't mind saying, either, that my experience an an* office-holder was not a pleasant one.” “Well?” “(To on.” “Why don't you own up?” “My experience, I say, was not a pleasant one. 1 was nominated at a township convention, against my will, for the office of town clerk. I protested, but it didn’t do any good. Some of the boys had put up a job on me, and they rushed the thing through with a whoop. 1 I was not only nominated for the offb e. but I was elected. It's one of these lit tle jobs, you know, that are a whole lot of trouble and mighty little profit. I served the term out, but it was really j an injury to me. It took mo away from my business. It made al! sorts of both er! and I was glad enough to lay it down at the end of the term." “What did the office pay?” inquired the man with the white spot ir. his mustache. “It was worth $SU0 a year.” “Then wha are you kicking about?” “It was really worth $8 say, but the actual salary, eluded, waa only | : Injury came in.
