A Story For Women.

puijiosu of exlinling u cloud ot the per

peaU'tl, "I wouldn't marry it jealous wo

thai her huslinti't is the most accom
plished laily-killcr in town, will, I take
it, be ample compensation for a!) her
ert ices in my behalf, litil you see if
she were any way jealous slie iiii'itt not

"It would he posMb!c,I sliould think,"
said Waller Evi rett, "that Elie might he
inclined lo uiaajfrce wiin you. 1 should
think any woman who loved you would
naturally object to euch an arrange

"Oil, pshaw, Everett !" exclaimed
Harry, "that proes you lo be a notice.
Don't you know tnat love iu u luiale
heart is made ut) ol juil two elements -vanity
and seil-sauiiiic.e. Just give a

you how to manage a w fe. I'll show
you how lo unite all the freedom of a
bachelor wi.h all the privileges of a
Benedict."
Waller smiled, and puffed away at his
cigar iu silence.
The two young men were clerks in a
large mer&iulile establishment in the
cily. They occupied aptiimenla in the
same hou.-c, and were gut'ei ally un very
close and intimate terms. Perhaps it may
not be necessary lo intorin thu reader
that lla'iy was somethintr of a coxcomb
though he was by no means as immoral
us might be interred from his own ac
count of hiiusti'. This Waller kjiew,
ami Ite could therefore listen tu his oc
casional strains of gasconade with the

laimd serious idcis of fi.-.itlly bestowing

tection upon aceilain little Cou-sin of his
on e. Muss Susleiilaliloll. Thai this con-fideiu.-e
went go far us lo lead Jiim lo Con
ceal Irom the Msid young lady the tenli
uienlsao frtqueutly txpreosed. we can
not vouch. Indeed, the writer ralher
has Ihe idea thai the two frequently
talked over in piivate this liutorluiiate
failing of their mutual Iricnd, and stud
ied frtqueutly lod.-vise soine tn.-thovl of
reducing the proitortiuus or Harry's
orgn of Titriety
Nothing, hoivever. very efTerlual was
accomplished during the courtship ami
iii process r.f time Mr Harry Vane en
tered Ihe title of matrimony under the
full conviction that bis loving .Susie pos
sessed not one fpaik of jealousy, and
that lier im-rreeni::g affection for him
would fend h. r tu accept with unfeigned
gratitude and joy a hatevcr attentions it

outgoings or incomings that was peculi
ar or mysterious
T.i do .Susie justice, she was not nut ur
ally of a jealous disposition ; but beside
her innate amiability in that respect, she
hud a little bit of that shy, womanly
pride, which made her resolve that she
would'l be jealous. No, indeed, she
would m-vcr be pointed at us a jealous
wife; neither should Mr. Harry Vane
have ihe pleasure of insinuating Hut he
managed his wife, that she was duly in
urui ted and trained ut home to look con
veniently in the other direction, when
ever he chose to open the invincible bat
tery of his fascinations upun any inno
cent and unsuspecting young female.
No, iioj the lillle lady wasloo acute for
that. ,
luhereiore happened that whenever
at ball or parly Air llutiy VaHe made
himself particularly agreeable to any
l.idy, Mrs. tluiry Vane also cultivated
Ihe same individual. If Mr. Harry Vane
I only danced with tlie young lady, or es
corted her out lo supper, Mr.-. Harry
Vane contented herself with the most
amiable inquiiiy after the said young
lady s health, and gracious hopes that
ihe family at home were quite well. If
Mr. Vane danced twice wiui the young
lady, ill's. Vane straightway iuviied hel
lo call, and intimated thai sbe should
vciy soon give herself Hie pleasure of
visiting the young lady, and if tualterg
went still further, and Mr. Harry Vane
indulged in a little tete-a-tete, or a flirta
tion, Mrs. Htrry Vano immediately
lixed a day, and asked Ihe young lady
to lea.
At home, too, if Mr. Harry Vane ex
claimed w ith enthusiasm, "By J.ive. but
that Miss West has a splendid figure J"
Airs Vane replied with equal enthusiasm
'She has indeed, und she danced inimita
bly." Or if Harry remarked that
"Aruuiiiila Waters was decidedly the
liMidsomest woman at Airs. .Morgan 's
parly," Susie added, gently, "Thai ru
mor said she was as amiable and accom
plished as she was handsome and fasci
nating." By this sly way of lighting
i.ie with tire, she had succeeded in ex
tinguishing a half ttozen glowing pen-
cluiutt in the bosoui ot uer liege lord ;
while at the same lime the unilonti
sweetness and aiiiiabiiity ol her own con
duct could not fail lo deepen the admi
ration and respect which Harry had pos
sessed for her when he married her.
So it went on for a year or two, and
Susie fouud herself a mother. Alter that
tilings seemed U) mend a little, but baby's
charms toon lost power, and Susie's trial
took another form. Her loving heart,
which wits constantly, though quietly,
walchlul of Harry1 lightest movement,
was wounded at its most sensitive point.
Harry frequently left home .without in
viting her lo accompany him, or even
informing her or his destination. Alnch
as her unxious tears wers stailletl by
this new shadow upon her domestic
peace, Susie had the discretion lo say
uotiiiug, but meanwhile to double her
assiduity in winning hiiu to home pleas
ures
All her efforts, however, availed her
little, at least one evening a week he coii
tinutd to spend uway Horn her. At first
site wnsalraitl heu.ight be entering upon
some Course of dissipation, but caret ul
ohstii vatiou soon conviuctd her that
whatevei sin might he laid to his charge,
the love of liquor was not one ; and as
drinking forms an ingredient of nearly
all forms of dissipation, she finally e.t.ue
to the conclusion thai, as of old his
wandering, inconstant heart was sliaying
after some new light of female beau'y.
it is possible thai at this juncture she
may have taken her cousin Walter into
confidentxs.
One beautiful morning in July Hairy
seemed in no hurry lo go lo lon. lie
lingered reading his newspaper afler
breakfast till nearly nine oVIock, and
then, dressing himself carefully iu his
handsomest suit., carelessly bade bis wite
good morning, and strolled leisurely up
the road, instead of going down It, tow
ard Ids pkee ot business. The quick
i perceptions of hid wite had noticed a
j strange disquietude in his maimer all the
morning, and she smiled a quiet smile
i toiierse:f, as she slood before the loir
ror iu her own room, arraying herself in
i her most becoming walking costume,
for Airs. Harry Vane was going out too
box lilted a dainty pair of boots to her
' pretty feet, und tightened the fastenings
of Uer sweetest pair of kid gloves, put
on her most bewitching toi net, and
then took h j Inst glance in the mirror
10 assure herself th.il there wasn t a
swet-U-r or umte captivating little woman
than Alia. Harry Vane. "He has good
tasle.at any rate," she thought, "and that
is one consolation." UjI the little half
siglt which closed the seutance intimated
r , ..

that it wasn't so very consoling afler all.
Afler her own toilet was completed
baby was dressed in his richest and most
apntless robes, and Alary was intrusted
with the precious charge and bid to fol
low her mislress. Imwn Ilia mail trip
ped the lady, tuking the shortest way to
the river std. There lay Hie steamer,
with flag! Hying and whistles blowing,
just ready lo convey a parly of happy
excursionists tlown the river. Airs,
Harry Vane tripped lightly over the
pier, followed by Alary and baby,
and the next moment the gallant
steamer with its holiday company was
fairly under way. Airs. Vano walked
leisurely to the fore part of the vessel
and then, adparenlly very much to her
surprise, discovered Air. Vane silling in
most attentive proximity to a handsome
and showy young lady, who was evi
diiitly quite the slave of Air. Vane's fas
cinations "Why, good morning, Harry!' ex
claimed Airs. Vine, in her sweetest and
most cordial tones ; this is indeed a de
lightful surprise. 1 had not anticipated
Hie pleasure of your company. After
you left home I happened to notice the
adveriisemeni of the excursion, and baby
hiis seemed soaiiing late'y, that I thought
U uiighl do him good lo lake an excur
sion, so 1 di'i-ssed myself as quickly as
possible anil hurried down here"
What could Air. Hurry Vane say in re
ply to this most amiable aud wife like
greeting? lira. Vane was not at a long,
however, to Til) up ihe piuse which his
hesitation occasioned.
"This lidy is a friend of yeiirs, I pre
sume introduce me to her, Harry,'1 said
she, turning to thelady. "Air. Vine's cir
cle of friends, previous to our marriage
was no very extensive that I have not
even yet made tlie acquaintance of all of
them. I hi'pe, howeter, to know them
ail in the course of time, tor nothing .
gives me greater pleasure t .an to enter-
tain Harry's friends Your nam, is 'I
I di.ln'l quite understand.''
"Aliss Wenlworlh," replied the lady,
bowing stiliJy.
"Ah j yes. Miss Wenlworlh,'' said Aim.
Vane, complacently ; "1 d not recollect
hearing Hurry speak of you; but it is all
the same ; my memory is very treacher
ous; and indeed he might have mention
ed your name, casually, you know, a
lozen times, and still 1 might have lor
gotten it. But bless me 1 where is the
baby 1 Alary, come here."
Alary answered tits call, and placed
the blue-eyed little wonder in th; arim
of its delighted mamma.
"Mamma's precious little darling ! was
it warm? soil was. Alumina wid take
off its hat so she will, 'i'here doeti it
see its papa? there, so it does, and

tlie chubby, red -faced little Uiiug up and
down in Air Vane's face, and asked, en
thusiastically, "Didn't Aliss Weutworlli
think he was just the iaiage of 'pa'!"' '
There were several ot Harry's acquain
tances on board, by whom the affair was
thoroughly understood ; and it was not
long until Ihe story passed Irom lip lo
lip, and smiles and titters and jokes at
poor Harry's expense circulated in every
direction. He excused himself as speed
ily as possible from like society of the
ladies, and walked moodily to ihe other
end of the boat, und there stood contem
plating what he should do to extricate
himself from this dilemma

Meanwhile, lliis Wentworth.who po
sesaed a deal ot womanly tact in her way,
had overcome in a measure the embar
rassment ot her first meeting with Airs.
Vane, and had entered very affably into
conversation with her. The baby, as if
determined to do its part, was as sweet
tempered as its mamma, and cooed and
laughed to the infinite delight ot Aliss
Wentworth, who was, or pretended lo
lie, -exceedingly fond of pets. Airs.

ble, and when Air. Vane returned lie

When dinner wns announced, Mrs.
Vane exclaimed :
"Air. Vano, give your arm to Mis
Wentwnrlh," at the same time aijiropri
nliug ihe oilier to lier own use, "and
we will hurry down to, dinner. Thig
eliff brecxe give one sudi au appetite-1"
AI dinner, Ars. Vane's first attention,
were given to Alis Weutworlli, and the
cast failure upon the part of Mr. Vane
(who, to tell the truth, wasn little absent
minded) to observe tKe want of that
young lady was reprimanded by Mr.
Vane.
"Aly (War. Miss VVentcortli will take
some more fowl," said Mrs. Vane. "Har
ry dear help Mica Wentworth to sonic
of these delicious peas. Alifs Wentworth
allow me to assist you Jo some of this
sauce ; I assvure you it is delicious."
Afterdinncr, the two ladies, with the
baby, retired to the ladies1 cabin and
Harry enjoyed an hour's immunity from
the society of either. He retired aft to
enjoy (il his Havana. Let us hope that
its fragrance served in some lueature t
calm his troubled mind.
It was nearly dark when the excursion
ists returned, nnd Harry called a cb for
the ladies, and directed the driver to his
residence.
"Ha-ry, tr.y dear, hnw can y .u so
impolite?" caid Mrs. Van". "We must
see Aliss Wenthwortk home first by all
means, Kite has been complaining of fa
tigue tor Ihe last two hours, and I must
protest against her being driven a mile
or two out of her way upon my account.
Hurry was obliged to acquiesce, and
Airs. Vane had the satisfaction of leaving
Aliss Wentwoslh at her own door, and
bidding her a most affectionate farewell
with the hope that she had enjoyed the
day, nnd would experience no inconven
ience from the fatigue ii had occasioned
her. '
Tn minutes later Harry Vane was
stretching liw weary Jiitfbs up m a sofa
in his own quiet parlur. Mrs, Vane bus-
tied about nnd prepared a most delicious
tea for ker loving lord. At first his vex
