THE WHA’LE AND THE QREED.
Religious fights I always did bewail,
T’l‘is something hat I never take a start In,
1 hat - to see good people rant and rail
0f things on which no one should feel too.
”sartin:”
So this dispute ’twix Jonah and the whale
It’s hard to see how one can take much
heart in,
And get his feelings all torn up and nettled
Abouta thing that never can be settled.
I have a friend as old as he can be,
His legs are wabbly and his head is hoary,
Vv’ho in a thousand ways has shown to me,
A faith implicit in the Jonah story;
His old wife with him scarcely can agree,
She says it is an ancient allegory.
And he, 1'11 eace. permits his wife to doubt it,
Though years ago they quar reled some about
The Bible‘ 15 a book that I adore
For precepts found within its sacred pages;
0ft when I‘m sad I turn its pages o‘er
And read the record of departed sages;
But matters in dispute. alas.1no more
My way-worn and distracted mind engages,
Like Jonah and the whale and Noah’s landing
And things that tax my feeble understanding.
I read instead what I can understand.
The story of 3. Father’s love, undying,
The promise of another, better land
Beyond this vale of pain and Want and sigh-
me.
A mansion ivna city great and grand,
The glory of man’s highest art outvying.
Where wickedness can come to torture never
And weary souls can rest in peace forever.
And while I don"t bank much on any creed
And doctrines taught by schools ecclesiastic
I gather comfort from the things I read,
It makes my heart more mellow-like and
plastic.
I cannot follow where some teachers lead.
N or take their theologic potions drastic;
And this is all my creed. awake or sleeping,
The Lord is good, and I am in His keeping.

A LOVE CHASE.
“To-morrow on the Paris?" cried
Garter, dropping his cane on the pave-
ment with a resounding thud.
“Yes, to—morrow,” said I, gazing with
astonishment on my friend, for my
commonplace gossip had apparently
perturbed him greatly. “The whole
family are going to sail, and they will
be away for a year. It’s very sud-
den.” .
“Sudden! I should say so!” he ex-
claimed. He looked thoughtfully up
the avenue for a moment, then stam-
mered, “Miss Margaret, too?”
"Yes.”
Thereupon he hailed a passing cab,
and before I could get another word
with him dived into the vehicle and
quickly disappeared with it.
Carter is not a bad fellow. He is
exceedingly modest. This is a most
unusual characteristic for a young
man who is spending a fortune gath-
ered by another’s talents, but to so
great a degree does he possess it that
it seemed to him impossible that Mar-
garet \V’alcott should look upon him
with other than indifference or even
repugnance.
“Why, Vandergust,” he said to me,
one Sunday afternoon, when he had
dropped in on his way to her house,
“it’s ridiculous to suppose that a.
bright young girl like that could care
for a fellow like me—a fellow who
doesn’t know anything, who has not a
striking point except money—when
there are so many men with brains
about.”
But, acting on my advice, he actually
started to propose that very afternoon.
“Miss Walcott,” he began, as they sat
by a fireplace in the drawing-room,
talking commonplaces, “I’m in love.”
“Really! How interesting!” cried the
. girl, calmly leaning toward him and
gazing at him, awaiting the rest of his
revelations.
There was a long ,silence, during
which Carter carefully drew his left
glove on his right hand. Having re-
covered his courage, he continued
naively—“I know who it’s with. Do
you know who it’s with ‘2”
“Yourself,” she cried, clasping her
hands as though she had made a won-
derful discovery.
“Oh, dear, no!
mered'. “Positively not.
d’on t think so, do you. 9”
“I was just guessing,” she replied,
soothingly.
“Guess again,” said he quickly.
“Wlith Livia Vandergust,” ventured
Miss Welcott‘ after she had given the
matter due consideration, gazing med‘
itatively into the fire, thus uncon-
sciously showing to Carter the fine
profile of her face, which glowed in the
red light of the coals.
“Don’t accuse me of it,” cried my
friend, in a deprecating tone that was
most uncomplimentary to my charming
cousin. “Guess somebody nearer
home.” '
And the foolish fell-ow kept her
guessing the name of every girl in
town but the right one until the maid
brought in Derby’s card.
Was it a wonder that, knowing'these
facts, I smiled when I saw Carter dash
away in a cab after I had imparted to
him the news? It was sufficient to send
him up the steps of the Walcott house
in three bounds when his cab drew
up there. Miss Walcott was out.
“At teas?” he ventured to inquire of
the maid. “Yes.” Here arose a pre-
dicament. He knew of no less than
five that afternoon. But he had heard
that she was to be at the Trumptons’
dinner that night, and his sole chance
of seeing her lay in finding her that
very afternoon or following her over
Europe.
So he started in at Mrs. J. Anderson
Oglesby’s and most perfuxi'ctorily’ paid
his respects to that energetic woman
and her extremely plain daughter.
Then he searched every corner of the
crowded drawing-rooms, and even took
a surreptitious glance into the butler‘s
pantry.
“Isn’t that Miss VValcott yonder?” he
said to the young girl who was pour-
ing tea, indicating a mass of black
hai1 that was conspicuous in the musk.
“Why, no,” slfylt‘n'ied, gazing at him
in astonishment. “She has light hail.
And, besides, she left hours ago. I
should think

He searched in vain for. her at the
Partridges’, the Joneses’ and the Van
Blunders’ and at length reached the
house of my aunt, who was on that
aftelnoon per-fo1ming the arduous
oh} sicaI labor of introducing her
daughter to society. Great, indeed,
was my cousin’s astonishment when
Benningtou Carter was announced,
' for she knew that he abhorred teas.
But greater still was her amazement
when he let fall the hand she held out
to him, turned sudden-1y, craned his
neck so as to see over the knot of wo~
men about the door and dashed mad—
ly from the room.
Carter had seen her at last, but it
was only a glimpse as the door closed
upon her He rushed up the staiis to
the dressing room and bounded down
again to his cab.
“Which way did Miss Walcott’s car.
riage go?” he cried to the man who
called his conveyance for him.
“Up Fifth avenue, sir,” replied that
astonished man.
“After it!" exclaimed Carter, jump-
ing in and slamming the door.
The bewildered Jehu swung his vc:
hicle around the corner and dashed up
the avenue, crowded with carriages.
Eight blocks, however, told on the
beast, and the driver found it expe-
dient to draw up at the curb and hold
a colloquy with his fare.
“So you have lost- it, eh?” cried Car-
ter, angrily.
“Yes, sir,” replied the cabby. He
tipped his hat most respectfully in the
hope of mollifying’thle angry man.
Carter threw himself moodily back
in the seat and for a time was silent.
It was already dark. The pavement
was filled with people hurrying home
after the day’s work. He [had visited
every place where he could have hoped
to find her, yet lost her. Of a sudden
he leaned through the window and to
the cabby said, “Do you see any awn
lugs about here?”
The man pierced the gloom with his
eyes and at length pointed meaningly
with his whip down a side street to a
residence in front of which a score of
carriages were gathered and an awn:
ing stretched from curb to curb.
“At it!” cried the fare.
Garter quickly ascended the steps
of the strange house, boldly passed
the servants in the hall, left his coat
and hat up stairs and returned to the
drawing-room.
“Carter, Carter, Carter?”
the over-dressed but kindly looking
woman who greeted him there, tap-
ping him on the arm with her fan and
giving him a hearty shake of the hand.
“I'm delighted to see you, Mr. Carter.”
“It was awfully kind of you: to
come,” said the slender young girl at
her side, as be formally gmeted her.
And when he passed on she whispered
to her mother: “I’m sure I didn’t send
him cards. Why, it’s Ben-nington Car-
ter!”
My friend forced hisvway through a
crowd of people he did not know and
muttered imprecations on himself for
wasting precious time at such a place.
She would never be here. He would
slip out at once. What! Could he be-
lieve his eyes? Yonder she sat in a.
cozy corner of the dining-room, a tall
young man bending over her.
“Why, Mr. Carter!” she cried, as he
rushed breathlessly up to her.
“How in the world did you happen
to com-e here?” he exclaimed.
“S-sh!” The young man moved
away, and she whispered apologetical—
ly, “Close business friends of my
father’s. But pray what brought you
here?” ' '
“I followed-you.”
“Shadowed me!
lite of you.”
“But I wanted you to guess some
more,” he stammered.
“Oh!” The girl blushed deeply and
fixed her eyes on the carpet.
“Be quick,” he said.
“Ethel VanBlunder,” said she, in a
scarcely audible voice. She half arose
from her chair.
Carter glanced behind him and saw
Denby pushing his way through the
crush about the tea table. “011, hur-
ry!” he blurted out. “You must guess
before you sail, or I’ll never be h»ap—”
“I’ve guessed,” she said demurely.
“I’m very glad to see you, Mr. Denby.”
“I’ve followed you all over town,”
exclaimed Denby, totally oblivious of
the presence of his despised rival.
“But at last—”
“I’m so, sorry,” she said, moving to-
ward the drawing-room. “I’m so late
now that really I must be going. But
Mr. Carter, I really forgot. Let me
remind you that we expect you to din-
ner at seven. You can tell me all
about it then.”

Anything st1ikingly novel in fashion
is not in sight now that the modes have
settled down to their summer pace;
but there is no end to the variations
in the details of dress.
That triumph of usefulness, the fan-
cy waist. helps out the variety so much
needed in'summer with great success.
It appears in all the varying degrees
of simplicity and elegance which fancy
can devise, and is worn by women of
all ages for morning, afternoon ' and
evening dress. The difference is a mat-
ter of decoration and style of making
rather than kind of material.
For summer gowns to wear at the
fashionable watering places white
muslin certainly has an inning in the
.. 1c of fashion.

The special mode which is distinctly
Parisian is the blouse effect in the back
as well as the front. The fulness
overhangs the belt in the same man-
ner, only there is less of it, and the
belt is often wider in the back than in
the front. Some of these waists are
made with basques, which may be a
frill all the way round, or tab-like
piecesdirectly in the back and front,
but the style is not becoming except to
very slim figures. It is distinctly chic,
" however, on a slight young girl, and
both wool and cotton materials are
made in this way, being especially
pretty with the narrow colored leather
belts so much worn.
Low-necked organdies-. for evening
are the prettiest of all the full dress
gowns. Kilted frills of chiffon or mus-
lin with narrow lace on the edge trim
the neck and sleeves very prettily,
with the addition of bows of satin rib-
bon or bunches of flowers. Wide lace
arranged to form a bertha is another
pretty finish, and the'bodice, as in the
high-necked gowns, is a series of lace
insertions alternated with narrow
bands of the muslin. The quantity and
quality of lace employed in the trim-
ming are only limited by the dress al-
iowanée of the purchaser, as yards and
yards are absorbed in one gown. Real
valenciennes trims many of the dainti-
est white organdies for evening wear,
and while the bodices are made on a
closely-fitted lining the blouse effect is
given to the outside.
