A anon ta she apoke I waa bound to admit it I had thong-tit that Jack would easily get over hie unfor tunate attachment; I expected that, after a few quiet weeka with, ua, he would forpet Clara Wilkinson and her dittfrraceful treatment of hira. Mie waa, in my opinion, a worthleea girl, and I griered to aee hira take the affair ao aeriously. And Jimt at flrnt he had ap peared to rally, lie had become more cheerful, and more ready for aociety. I aaid aa much to Kitty, but ahe point ed oat that there had been a relapse. In fact, ahe waa emphatic on the ques tion. . "He'a getting no good here at all," he aaid most positively. "Really, In his own Interest, I muat ask you to aeud him away." "The girl haa spoilt hit life!" I cried angrily. Kitty looked at me for a mo ment, but aaid nothing. "I suppose you're riirht," I went on. "lie would be better In a livelier place." "Of course he would, you dear old atnpi.l," aaid Kitty. I did not aee that I had been atupld. "There ia nothing to distract hia thonghta here," I aaid. "Yon speak to hint then?" asked Kitty. She waa decidedly, la earnest about It. "A woman doea these things ao dell ettely and tactfully," -1 suggested. "Oh, I couldn't think of It, Robert," said Kitty, blushing. I admired her delicacy. lie waa walking up and down the gravel walk, hitting at my flowers (of . which I am rather proud) with his (I'm a judge of cigars) at a ruinous pace. When I loined htm and linked my arm through bis, he started. "Jack," aaid I, "wouldn't you be bet ter away from here? Come, you know what I mean. You're no great hand at a Becret. "I I " he began stammering, and In great confusion. "I know all about It," aaid I, encour agingly. "I thought you'd get good out of the place, but it's clear you haven't; quite the contrary. You want to see new things and new people; and for' get this" I paused for a word and ended, "this unhappy mistake of yours. "I'pon my honor, yon are a good chap, he exclaimed. "Thero a not an other man In England that would hare treated me aa you have; and he cov ered his eyea with his band. "Oh, nonsense. It's nothing. I hope I'm always ready to do my friends a turn. But it'a no use, ia It? It gets worse and worse. "I'll go," he aaid, with a sigh. "I won't stay a minute. A f ter what you say, I couldn't And, old chap, I don't know how to thank you. Many fel lows would have taken the way I've been going on badly; most would" "Oh, we made allowance for you. Young men mustn't be -judged too tarshly." : , "But you're a true friend. It makes me feel pretty bad, I can tell you, Hob." "Oh you'll soon forget It when you're on the move." "I'll try. I!y Jove, I will!" he ex claimed, earnestly. "Do; it only needs a little resolution. ectue, WfaWvcU uuiravZic?, you Iniotr, you pnfrhtn't to be inconsol able." "In my opinion, Jack, you've had an escape. Aud you caa take my word for it. Remember I know the lady pretty well." In fact. I'd met Clara Wilkinson a hundred times, and had a perfectly definite opinion about her. "Oh, you mustn't say a word against her," he protested. "She's been all that's good and kind and" "Of eonn-e, you say that." I inter-ref-ted, impatiently. "I suppose you're bmind to, but it won't po down with " 5.' c-T t" -e Mi a heartless, ft'ttrdi'st 3aUt " - ' ' ho ci ied, starting away from re: lull Ti'-is determined he should :, : r I'm- kmui.

When one'a eyea are once opened " and I ended with a shrug of the shoulders. Suddenly be held out his hand. "Shake hands, odd chap," he said. I shook hands. The poor fellow was a good deal moved, and I didn't wish to appear cold. "I shall go atraight," he repeated. Well, to-morrow morning will do." "Xo. To-night the next train. And you you must stay here?" "Of course I stay here, I answered. ataring in my turn. He sighed heavily. "It'a bad for me, old chap," he said. laying a hand on my shoulder, "but, by Jove, what it must be for you!" r or me?" I exclaimed. "What d'ye mean?" "That woman!" he gasped. "And how you keep it up! One would think to see you well, well, it brave. It would kill me In a month. It'a brave, that's what It la!" "What In the world are you talking abont? I haven't spoken to her for three years." "Except before strangers? Good heavens!" "Not at all. I haven't" . "Hush! here ahe corneal I I can't meet her!" "She here? Bosh!" I turned round and beheld my wife! With a gasp I fell back a step. Jack tore past Kitty and vanished through the open windows of the drawing room. "Well, was he reasonable?" asked Kitty. I could say nothing. "I hope you were gentle with him, Bob. He's a nice boy, though he's a particularly silly, one. He meant no harm, Bob." "Was was was he ?" ( stam mered. "What the dlckensdoes It mean?" "Only," said Kitty, coming close op to me, "that he's quite forgotten Clara Wilkinson, and" "Well?" "That you've got rather a nice wife, Hub," she whispered. "Did you say anything about me, Bob?" I looked at her for a moment "Heavensr I cried, and rushed Into the house. That young man would go and tell all the club that my wife and I oh. Lord! "Jack, Jack, Jack, you young fool!" I yelled. The butler appeared. "Mr. Vincent, sir, has just Jumped Into the dog-cart, sir It was at the door by your orders and driven off like mad. He said he was summoned to London, sir!" 1 sank down In dial.-. Presently rutty came In. She was laughing. "Oh, dear!" she aaid; "and I thought yon were so nice and considerate in) prctendiug not to see it!" And the silly little woman, went off into a fit of giggling. Then I told her the opinion of her and of our domestic, happiness which Jack Vincent was carrying away with him. That sobered her; and we began to eend telegrams. lint the young ruffian (he may break his heart next time, and welcome!) had gone straight to the club. When. I go there now they ask me, sympathetically, If matters are "any better?" I know what they mean. Black and White. Getting at the Facta.

A man who was not exactly a tramp, and at the same time not exactly a thrifty citizen, applied for a job at a certain wholesale house.

The new mu-' u are singular ly like the old one, ith silken lines and embroidered spots en plain grounds beta dark and lis lit Embroidered muslins are the idol of the hour, and t!s fortuoatfl owner uf one should reokon It among her choicest posses sk na. The prettiest ones, and also the most ti"'!y, have exquisitely-wrought fiow en standing out in bold relief on sheer est mull of snowy white or cream-tinted ground. While muslin, spotted with bUck and striped with pale yellow ovsr a lining of yellow silk, makes aa ideal summer gown, and a pale green grenadine spotted with black and white haunts my every hour as one of the prettiest fabrics I have come across. Something entirely new 1 a crepon with a atripe of sprigged mus lin running through it This ia very eUectlve in tan cole with the muslin la white, and the same may be said of gray and white; but there is something in this latter combination exceeding ly trying to the complexion, and its use should be relegated to the very young person whose akin is above sus picion. The flowered silks in the new and delicate shadings which have beea brought out within the last month are really charming. I met a woman re cently admirably gowned In one of dark green, with a shot ground delicately spotted with cream color and strewn with deep crimson and pink roses; the bodice waa of chiffon with a cape of fine lace over the shoulders. It was a perfect costume, perfectly worn, just dark enough in tone not to look too festive, and distinctly chlo. By the way, these lovely flowered silks are the materials for youthful looking matrona, and they ahould not hesitate CHKCKKD cnKPog oows. to spend as much money as la necessary to have them made up by a nrst-cliiss dressmaker. It really takes an artist to treat them successfully. But it takes an artist to treat everything suc cessfully these days not only an art ist but a financier as well. The most utterly maddening thing in this whole matter of dress is the need of economy, and the disastrous way in which ex periments along that line usually re sult Take, for instance, the pretty Organdies and dainty Swisses. It would seem to the careless observer aa though they would make a cheij) dress: bnt bny a pattern and carry It to your dressmaker and hear what she has to say on the all-important sub ject. She will coolly inform you that it will require ten yards of taffeta silk for lining, a score or more yards of lace, and at least two bolts of ribbon for trimming; and when you have bought all this and paid for the mak ing there Will be precious little left for gloves and boots and et ceteras of the toilet on which your reputation for being a well-dressed woman must stand or fall. - - - The dress question is gettiug to be too complicated. No matter hrw many changes of costume one ir4y have there always seems to be popping up some son oi an emergency ior wnicn one U not prepared. Never were ready-made . summer dresses as pretty and cheap as now. The cotton ducks are the cheapest, but they have an unpleasant way of shrink ing and getting out of shnpe, and to be at all Satisfactory should l bought J 0? 1 Ja, f -.:t5 mt' after they are lanndnred. Whit Irish linen makes cooi-looking dresses, but for durability and beauty combined the dark blue linen duck, either pindotted or sti iped with white, is really the thing to buy, and those made by a fash ionable dressmaker are very different affairs from the ones sold in the shops. I saw a gown to-day that was both unique and daring. It was of checked crepon, red and white, made over white satin. The otherwise plain skirt had the front breadth outlined by bands of ribbon In an Indescribable shade of green, the bodice with plaited front oponel rrer a lac j-,!e shonitg an underlining of preen f.utin. The sleeves, however, were the feature of the dress, beni;- comnced of nlternato pnfTs and rows of plait nj en-ling in a si t f ' ' I v i ! i ni'v , ' :.' ' -.

W hat is called the "jupe eventail" is something new and is bound to become popular. As the dia gram shows It has a gored front with circular back, and when properly cut ahould fit snugly about the hips Hod measure five yards round the bottom. This skirt la more stylish when devoid of trimming and ahort enough to just clear the ground. A petticoat of moreen cloth with two or three ruffles across the back breadth should always be worn under this skirt to give the de sired "spread" to the back; for, be it understood, these skirts are not stiff ened at all, but softly psdded. This Idea of padding the skirt, by the wsv, we owe to the French, and after one has enjoyed wearing one treated in this manner the wonder natnrally rles how we ever endured the stiff, ngly- looking and nncomfortable interlining of haircloth so much in vogue the past season. A woman always feels like uttering a protest against the employment of pretty girls to "try on" in milliners' es tablishments. Intending purchasers are pleased by the excellent effect of the hat, but when they get It home and put It -over their somewhat less attractive faces the result is generally very disappointing. I went with Clara the other morning to help her select a hat and she became rather annoyed because the lady who most amiably tried on the hats and bonnets man aged to look so pretty In all of them. Her hair, which was evidently special ly fixed for the purpose, waved loosely over the ears in the style beloved of the Parisian, and as the hats were marked French they sat on the coiffure with elegant ease. But as long as shop keepers have an eye to their own in terest this nefarious practice will prob ably go on. After all, the hats them selves are so pretty It is an easy matter to forgive the people who sell them. I saw a lovely black straw hat with pink straw crown trimmed In ribbon and a spray of crimson roses which looked as if they had just been plucked. Entirely new is an outing hat with such a breadth of hrira that It can do duty as a parasol. The sides are curved up slightly to give a grace ful droop in front and back, while white laoe three Inches wide Is laid round the edge. The large, hats made entirely of lace with frills round the brim and bunches of pink roses In the front are becoming to young and pret ty faces. But, alas! I met one to-day HK "JUFE EVRNTAIL" SKIRT. perched over a plain and elderly v'f which gave it. a JHk almost pathetic. grows too old for a hnt and the erset moment when it is time to relinquish r i 1 J- ' j j i.jVl i !

She also purchased one of the exceed ingly s'ylisli tulle veils to wear with it, and under this influence fondly Im agines she will look like a French woman.

Any one with the mot ordinary In genuity can make a most luxurious couch at a very small expense, is-lc. t a good woven-wira spring, siugle width or narrower than the regulation single width if possible, and to this fasten legs of suitable length. These should be sawed in et the upper end to make a shoulder on which the length wise bar of the wire spring can rest. Then with a tbree-eichth-ineh bit bore two holes throuirh the leg and the side of the spring. Put in bolts of suitable size; tighten nuts with a wreneh. Tins Inst is an Important Item, as unless the bolts are carefully secured they will work loose and mav spht tiie woiai. Here is the foundation for something comfortable. All the cushion that is necessary Is two or tbree com forts bleu folded to the proper sise and shape, or, what is better, a two-incivUuck hair mattress. This should be secured to spring by straps and buckles or strong cords. Over this throw a TurklMi cov er or any suitable drapery. Pile on the pillows, and the article is complete. N. Y.
