By MRS. G. BIGG~WITHER.
_",.
I.
A youthful pair of lovers, whose united
ages only made thirty~six years, were
clinging in a last embrace. The evening
sun had grandly set, its last beautiful
beams almost melting in the far stretched
sea, which reflected in its deep waters
the ever changing tints.
Even the dark, stern pine wood took a.
tender shade, as one by one the exquisite
colors faded to be succeeded by others.
It touched the girl’s face, so childish in
expression, so dainty in coloring, light-
ing up with ruddy tinge the nut brown
hair, the dark velvety eyes, the fine sun
tinted skin, the full pliant figure. In a.
word, it threw into bold relief that
charming little personage, Carmen Mas-
singbird. .
The boy’s face was handsome, sensi-
tive, visionary, beautifully modeled, like
some Greek Apollo, and his figure,
though now loosely knit, gave promise
in the years to come of a grand develop-
ment. His arm tenderly encircled the
young girl, but his face was sad and
wistful.
“Oh, Carmen, think of me when I am
gone; be true to me!”
_“Be true to you! Oh, Allen, of com‘se
I will. If I am to be your wife to-mor~
row I must be, you know. All wives are
true to their husbands.”
“Not all,” he answered with superior
wisdom. “And then, dear, you are so
beautiful, and I have nothing to shield
you but my love, and alas! I shall be
thousands of miles away.”
The girl, for want; of a comforting an-
swer, leaned her head lovingly on his
shoulder.
“Is not this sunset perfect? I shall
never forget it, our last, perhaps, for
years. See, Carmen,” he continued
dreami] y, “how those opal tints fade into
the rosy ones, and then how they all
melt in the calm, beautiful sea. Oh,
sweetheart, whenever you see such a
sunset think of this night; let it be a. sign
betwixt thee and me.”
“I shall always remember you, Allen,
without the aid of sunset or sunrise.
But, dear, do try and make this fortune
as soon as you can; three years, four at
the outside. Why? I shall be uite old
—21! And when you come bat: —'we‘wi11 '
have the loveliest home imaginable. I
quite know how everything ought to be.
Now, never mind the sunset,” as her boy
lover lingered, his mobile face full of
poetic feeling, for the beauties of nature
to him were a great reality. He loved the
young girl at his side, who was as fresh
and fair asaspring morning. But he
idealized her. She was not poetical, not
yet at least; in fact she was—material.
“Are you quite sure everything is ar-
ranged for to-morrow morning ”
“Everything,” answered he, rousing
himself. “I have your wedding ring,
and a keeper, which is my own design.”
“Oh, do let me see it, Allenl”
“No, dear. Wait till to-morrow.”
She madeu little grimaco, but being
sweet tempered, only gave her pretty
shoulders alittle shrug. “Hark! There
is the supper bell. I must go. Do you
know, sir, I am supposed to be learning
my recitation in the privacy of the
grounds?1 ” -
“\Vhat is it, Carmen?" said he with
interest.
“Oh, a piece from the ‘Golden Le-
gend.’ It begins:
”Onward and onward the highway runs
To the distant city, impatiently bearing
Tidings of human joy and disaster,
Of love and hate, of doing and daring.”
“Yes, I know,” said Allen eagerly.
‘ ‘It goes on: -
“This life of ours is a wild Eolian harp
or many a. joyous strain,
But undfir them all there runs a loud perpetual
“'0.
As of souls in pain. _
“That is just it, Carmen. Ifeel the
wail and the pain in my heart, a fore-
boding I cannot throw off.”
“Allen, deari do for goodness sake
try and be cheerful! You know the
poem says: ,.
“All through life there are wayside inns
Where man may refresh his soul with love.
i shall always love you, dear.”
“Ah, Carmen, it is the parting Idread,
the long separation. Shall I find ‘the
rivulets fed .by springs from above’ in
the hemisphere I am going to? Who
knows? You will write, dear, every
mail; promise me.” And he looked into
her very heart withhis eyes so full of
boyish love. “Think what it is to lose
you. You are everything, remember, in
this \vorldtome. How I shall hunger
for your letters.”
“I will write, dear,” and his sadness
affected her, for her eyes were full of
“But, oh, Allen, how proud I
shall be when I can let every one know
that I am ‘Mrs. Allen Fitzclare.’ It’s
such a. pretty name! So much prettier-
than Carmen Massingbird.” ,
“Ah, but your name suggests Spain
with all its romance; the ‘Cid,’ the Al-
hambra, the poets.”
“Dear boy! Never mind the poets.
Let: us think of ourselves. “Oh!” she
exclaimed, “they have lighted up the
school room. You can just see through
the trees,” as the light shone out bright
and vivid in the gloaming. “I must fly
or some of the girls will be out to look
for me, or worse, the governesses.
Good-by, dear, then—till to-morrow,”
and putting her warm young lips to his,
she kissed him lovingly, and swiftly
passed through the pinewood out of his
sight.
. With a. heavy sigh he slowly made his
way down thezi zag pathwa into the
town, whose lig ts were tw g in
the summer ni ht. Certainly, he did
not look like :1 br degroom-elect.
Alien Fitzclare was an orphan, the
last of his race; a race that had in the
years gone by been powerful and rich.
Now they were absolutely unknown. A
distant; relative, recently deceased, had
left him £500. And with this majestic
fortune he intended to to the colonies
and make it bring f0 _’ a hundred fold,
to be laid at the feet of his beautiful Car-
men—for “hope with g y prospect
feeds the eye, shows from nursing ground
possession his .”"He was only 19, and
with the charmipg confidence of youth
imagined himse ,a. poet in embryo, and
a fit mate for the only daughter and
heiress of Col. Masonigbird, now in
India.
The love of these twoyoung people
was like an arcadian poem, there was
nothing material about it; it: was love,
pure and simple. They'never troubled
themselves as to any probabl'e anger of
relatives, it was their own delicious |
gaggt. Anqu-mnrmw. even if thev = veries.under Aunt Catherine’s (llt‘actlnn
—1
separated,‘6n the—threshold of their nTaf-
riage, they would still occupy the exalted
position of man and wife.
"N ,-c: c‘-
She kissed him lovingly.
Next morning they re "ed to the
registrar’s and were m 9 one. The
registrar shook hands with them
and wished them every happiness; but
he thought, as he pocketed his hand-
some fee, “they were the youngest (and
handsomest) couple he had ever seen
who had reached the mature age of 21
years.” And with this reflection he dis-
missed them from his thoughts. ‘-
' ' II.
A year had passed. Carmen Massing-
bird was to leave school. Her education,
so far as actual school work was con-
corned, was completed.
Col. Massingbird had' returned from
India, entered parliament, and was now
anxiously awaiting the companionship of
his cherished daughter and only child.
Carmen had greatly improved this last
year. She was now above the medium
height, and her figure perfectly propor-
tioned; a tall, graceful woman. She
heard constantly from her young hus-
band, letters full of love and enthusiasm.
He had entered into partnership with a
man at a bush station, and hoped to
realim the great: fortune which was ever
present in his imagination. Carmen
wrote pretty frequently. Now that she
was leaving school for her father’s house,
arrangements had to be made about the
letters that came so regularly. So her
school friend, Emily Landsard, under-
took to forward them, under cover of
her own (though this young lady was in
happy ignorance of the relationship of
the two correspondents). This satisfac-
torily accomplished, Miss Massingbird
dismissed from her mind any further
thought of the matter.
What an event it; is in the lives of all
school girls the day they leave school!
One foot, as it were, on the brink of the
lovely, unclonded future. What grand
possibilities exist for them! What un-
raveling of future enigmas, all the more
delightful for being so vague.
Thus it was the day dawned for Car-
men. One of the governesses was to
escort her safely to her new home. Did
she feel any regret at parting from the
scene hallowed by the memory of Allen
Fitzclare!
Not in the very least. She was instead
eagerly looking forward to all the dc-
lights promised her. . Her life for many
years had been passed at school, and ex-
cept for the episode of her short love
affair, had been singularly quiet, not to
say dull. And Carmen was essentially
of a. gay, pleasure loving disposition.
Her companions envied her, but they
loved her nevertheless.
It was the height of the London season
—lenfy J 11119 in all its beauty. And the
charming little house in Mayfair was a
worthy abode of the pretty daughter of
Col. Massingbird.
An elderly cousin of her father’s was
to act as chaperon and housekeeper, but
gtoallpragtical ur so Miss Messingbird
was to be t . ‘
-'- as so- as r.-
“Is papa at home, Cousin Adela?”
asked Carmen, as she crossed the thres-
hold of her new home.
“No, my dear. He is at the house, but
you will see him at dinner. It grieved
him not to be able to receive you in per-
son.”
“How I long to see him. But now,
Cousin Adela, I want to examine every—
thing. Let us make the tour of the
place.”
“Have tea now?” , -
"Oh, no, cousin, presently will do for
that.”
“Had you not better see your new
maid then, my love?”
“Of course! Where is she?”
“In your own apartment.‘ Your bou-
doir is charming; you dear father has
made it a very labor of love. He says
nothing is too good for his Carmen.”
“Darling old dad.” And the tears
came into the girl’s eyes. “I will try
and make him happy, Cousin Adela, in—
deed I will.”
“Well, dear, I think you ought. I am
sure it is surprising in these days to see
what is done for young people; so difl’er-
cut; to what it was in my time. We had
to take what we could et, and be thank-
ful. I sometimes wonger if you are any
the better for it, if it does not make selfish
young men and women.”
“Now, Cousin Adela, that’s quite too
bad! It’s just like being at school; no
moralizing, I beseech you.” And giving
an affectionate hug to her relation, she
ran lightly up the richly carpeted stairs,
slowly followed by her more massive
cousin (who was stout of limb and short
of breath). '
Carmen made at once for her boudoir.
It opened on a. balcony c6vered over and
round with striped awning, filled with
choice flowers and tall " and ferns:
The room was hung With dainty blue
chintz.‘ Soft, low lounges, many hueo
rugs, a piano, books, paintings on the
walls, charming little details Scattered
everywhere. .A. pert; ' ‘little canary
suspended his song to inspect his
new mistress as she entered upon her
domain. But he very lovingly came to
the side of his cage when Cousin Adele’s
large form loomed-in the background.
In truth it was a verygbower of beauty.
“How lovely it is! 'How I long for
papa. to enjoy it with me!” _
“Here he is, then!” said-a hearty voice,
as the tall figure of COL Massingbird
pushed aside the softplush portiere and
entered the room. Carmen ran into his
arms and embraced him with all her
heart. V
“Ah: You darling father! It; is simply
perfect!” . '
“So it suits my little queen, does it?
Not so little either. Let me look at you,
Carmen!” and he held her at arm’s
length and critically examined her.
“You will do, Miss Massingbird. I shall
have all the yormg fellovvs of my ac-
quaintance maidng up to me now, and
no mistake. Ah, little one, you are
nearly as beautiful as your mother. If
she could only have lived to see her little
Carmencita grow up! Yes, you have her
eyes exactly, but your skin is fairer,
your hair lighter, and you are much
taller.” ' _
“That’s after you, dad.”
“But I can’t think,” continued her
father, “where you got' that saucy, ag-
gressive nose! It is quite original. Tip
tilted is the poetical way, I believe, of
describing it.”
“Never mind my nose, dad. Tell me
how you arrived here so soon. Cousin
Adela did not; expect- you until dinner
time!” ‘
“Dear, I found I could just get away
for an hour, and. I wanted so much to be
in time to receive my girl; but, after all, I
just missed you. However, shall we in-
spect the alterations, especially the draw—
ing room? All, Carmen, it is ten years
since you were in these rooms. And
then, I must run away till 7 o’clock.”
Together they made a circuit of the
place, a striking pair, he tall and strong
in the prime of life, for he was only for—
tyotwo, she with her beautiful girlish
face and a. form like a young Aphrodite
clinging to his arm, delighted with every-
thing.
“I have told your new maid Hortense
to get you a good stock of feminine frip-
MW? mes—(W‘szmmvgme
you require. She and you can get them
at your leisure. So you will begin your
campaign armed cap-a—pie. And now,
my Carmencitn, I must; say good-by for
the present.” And with a kiss of love
on her forehead, her father left her. His
daughter watched him from the window
until he was out of sight.
III.
“Will mademoiselle be pleased to in-
spect her trousseau?”
“By all means, let me see everything!”
and very soon the chamber was filled
with a charming confusion of dainty
garments, all of which appeared to her
pleasure loving nature everything that a
young and wealthy girl could desire.
Later on she donned one of her pretty
evening frocks, and ,awaited eagerly lier
- father’s return.
As it was their first evening together,
they dined alone, with only Cousin Adela
for company. And how Carmen appre-
ciated the well appointed dinner and ar-
rangements!
“What a. curious ring you are wear-
ing, Carmen; a keepsake, I suppose?”
“ch, papa.”
But her father did not see the vivid
blush that dyed her face and then left it
palc.‘ For the first time her secret mar-
riage troubled her. Hitherto it had
been a delightful mystery; to-night it
did not seem quite so delightful. There
was a feeling of regret, of uncertainty.
“My little love is tired,” said the colo-
nel, noticing his daughter‘s abstraction.
“Oh, no, papa,” she answered eagerly.
“Because I have box for the Savoy; I
thought you might like to see ‘Pn-
tience.’ ”
“Indeed I should,” she replied joy-
ously, casting aside her momentary
trouble.
“You will come, Adela?”
“Yes, Herbert, if you wish.”
There was nothing eager in this
reply, for indeed Cousin Adela
would ,much have preferred a
comfortable after dinner nap, which
she always thoroughly enjoyed, but she
was a. kind hearted, unselfish old soul,
and dearly loved these two.
“Very well, ladies, the sooner we start
the better.”
* ‘X' 45' * 9.‘ * {-
This was the beginning of a very de-
lightful life. Mouth after month rolled
on.
Carmen was presented at court, under
the chapctonage of tho Lady Catherine
Massingbird, and very soon became one
of the “beauties.” The beautiful Miss
Massingbird was to be seen everywhere;
no dance, no picnic, no club afternoon
on the Thames was considered complete
without her charming presence. Young,
rich, gay, lovely, who can wonder she
was so happy, when the world turned
its fairest side to her?
The boy husband seemed further and
further away. Her letters grew less fre-
quent. Now and then a vein of sadness
ran through his replies; sometimes a
tender reproach. At length she wrote
and told him not; to waste a further
thought on her, she was not worthy of
it; furthermore, they had both com-
mitted a. foolish piece of imprudencc, and
it would be best for each to go their own
way and forget it all. To this last there
came no reply. Indéd, Carmen did not
wish one. She was only too anxious to
banish the secret marriage from her very
heart and thoughts. She considered it
an affair of the past, mmantic, stupid,
besides—
Among the many admirers of Miss
Massingbird was one who was surely, if
slowly, making his way into her heart,
and his name was Sir Geofiry Estcourt,
a man of about five-and-thirty, with an
old title and estate, and who was like-
wise a dearly loved and valued friend of
her father.
It was with growing pleasure that Col.
3. Iassi ngbi rd watched the intimacy ripen-
ing between his daughter andhis menu.
._. . ,.............,_.. ~WanmJMm—W
03115 e 0:156 home father’s sake, now—now, she began to
like him onhisownaccount. Col. Mas-
singbird felt thatif homust part with his
cherished child, let it be to this man,
whose nature, loyal and true, he knew
full well.
Sir Geofiry Estcourt in his younger
days had dearly loved a fair young girl;
but before the marriage could take place,
death claimed the bride. The disconso—
late young lover wondered about for
years, seeking oblivion for his miserable
soul, now here, now there. At length
one may conclude he found it.
For after a lengthened sojourn abroad
he returned once more tohis country,
looked after his heritage and in a quiet
way enjoyed life. But when Carmen
Maesingbird appeared on the scene, it
was like a magician’s wand passing over
his heart and changing everything.
Everything was pervaded with her pres-
ence. Her sunny, careless nature, her
charming, merry ways threw a magic
spell over him. Yes, he was bewitched.
As yet he had uttered no word of love.
He thought so humbly of him-
self; could this beautiful, spoilt
young girl ever be brought to
love him? He almost doubted it. And
he was afraid to disturb the sweetse
reuity of their daily lives, the charming
familiarity of the home circle, where he
was one of the most privileged of friends,
theami lntime of the house. Nol He
would wait a little longer, and she was
so young. Probably had there been an-
other suitor in the field he would have
tempted fortune. But while she had
plenty of admirers, she had no particular
tendresse for any one. And was she not
carefully hemmed in by a wall of guard-
ians? Her father, Lady Catherine and
himself. Dear Cousin Adela did not
count at all. She looked after the young
lady at home, in other words, let her do
precisely as she liked.
When Lady Catherine was incapaci—
tated by indisposition or other centre-
temps from chaperoning her young
graudniece, then Cousin Adele’s services
were in requisition, very much to their
owner’s regret. She had neither the
making of a chaperon, nor of a lady of
fashion, whereas Lady Catherine Mas-
singbird was, so to speak, to the manner
horn; and many an eligible partie had
been brought forward with perfect suc-
cess. Lady Catherinewas considered a.
most diplomatic and clever match maker;
and many a Belgravian mother owed her
a. debt of gratitude (which was gen-
erally paid in kind). She was a skillful
general,and deserved everything. But her
ladyship was in despair about her grand-
niece, for who so willful as Carmen, or
who so utterly inconsequent as to results
as Col. Massingbird? And the season
was over, the season that ought to have
done such great things for Miss Messing-
bird. And it grieved Indy Catherine.
People were rushing hither and thith-
er in search of health, distraction,
amusement; some to get rid of their
friends, others of their creditors. The
Massingbirds, father, daughter and aunt,
spent a delightful month at Wiesbaden.
This resort was chosen by Lady Cather-
inc for her own particular benefit; she
really intended taking the waters, and
her nephew and grand niece were quite
satisfied to enjoy themselves in their
own, way. Her ladyship felt that she
had quite earned this little relaxation,
and Col. Massingbird was only too
pleased to serve his aunt. And now the
feast of St. Partridge was at hand, so the
colonel, who was a keen sportsman, set
his face homewards, and with him Car-
men. Lady Catherine was due at vari-
ous country houses, but all being well,
they would meet again the following
winter.
It happened that the last day of Au-
gust found Sir Geoflry busy in his library,
polishing up and overhauling his guns,
ready for the “first.” There was a
happy smile on his pleasant, sunburnt
face. He looked the very type of an
English gentleman,cool,ca1m,self reliant,
and as he stood there, in the warm, mel-
low light of the August day, his
heart was filled with joyous anti-
cipations, vistas of happiness that
stretched around and onward, into
the coming years. A knock at; the (loot
interrupted his day dreams.
“A telegram, Sir Geofiry.”
“Wait a moment, Hrgwn,” as h; tore
”open. “All right, nb answer? Where
is Miss Cote-curt?” V '.
“in the morning room, Sir Geoffry.”
“'l‘hcn'esi That will do. But see to
these guns, and put them carefully in
their cases." Aud‘thbn lie Walked ofl?
with 1:25 telegra“ tfnd made for his
sister's sitting l‘O . v}
“They will leave'byllihc 3:10 train from
Waterloo, and be here by dinner time.
MARCIA." , Q
“I am very glad, Geoff, dear. Their
rooms are quite ready.” And as Miss
Estcourt watcliedtho " ppy smile on her
brother's face, she re ' ed his head down
to her level and kiss ‘_ is forehead.
“God bless you, do, '.”
There was no need f more words. A
tender and true 10 ;,cxisted between
these two. Miss Estcpurt was a pale,
gentle woman, long past her first youth,
indeed she was 40, an" had had troubles
and trials of her o'wh. Yet she longed
with a. great longing see a. happy wife
reigning in the dear ., (1 home, to hear
the glad voices of ;.children echoing
through its silent;,q'r,, For she and
her brother were the , t of their race.
Now there seem , a. chance. She
knew her brother’s T et, and how deep-
ly his heart was set on Carmen Messing-
bird. And, aslGeoflfy' left the room,

up to a reverie. ‘
*Yes, twenty years ago she too had
loved; nay, was not the fragrance of that
love ever in her heart? And the love of
her youth had been handsome Herbert
Massingbird. He on his side had felt a
kind love for the gentle little companion
of his boyhood and the friend of hisma-
turer years. But the time came that his
regiment was ordered abroad, and, while
on foreign service, his fate brought him
across the beautiful young Spanish girl,
Carmen Pereira. then he felt his heart
for the first time thrill with passionate
love.
It was a. love which, compfil to his
calm regard for Marcia, wasasthqmoon-
light to tho noontide sun in all its
strength. And when after many diffi-
culties and obmaaons, he at last
brought his beautiful young wife and m-
t‘anc child to England, it; was to Marcia
he turned for sympathy in his pride and
happiness. And then, after a few brief
years of joy, the lovely southern flower
faded and died, leaving the little Carmen
to fill its place in the desolate heart of the
unhappy Herbert. Then it was he re-
quired all Marcia’s unselfish love to con-
sole his anguish, all unconscious of the
hidden love she bore him.
And as she sat tod by the open win.
dew and gazed outfiardly seeing the
bright, beautiful radiance of the golden
August day, she thought not unkindly,
not complainingly, but with a gentle
touch of sadness, of her own heart’s
hunger all these long years, so silently
borne that no one had ever guessed her
secret. They only wondered she had
never married. Thus had she lived her
life at the old place, looking after Sir
Geofiry’s interest; during his many years
of exile, and now it seemed as if her
hopes would be realized; that the lovely
young mistress would soon be settled
at Estcourt, while she, Marcia Estcourt,
would so gladly take up her abode at the
Old Dower House that overlooked the
common.
It would be such a. little distance from
the' Place to the Dene, as the Dower
House was called; . and then, by and by,
the children would come to and fro—
yes, Geoff.’s children—and they would
fill the empty space in her heart.
As these thoughts shaped themselves,
a tender happiness imprinted itself on
her face. For allher hopes, all her fears
were bounded by the house of Estcourt.

Miss Estcourt folded her work neatly,

“I shall fill Carmen’s room with flow-
ers ; the child loves everything beau-
tiful.”
She left the room, but presently re-
turned with scissors and a. good sized
basket, and passed out through the
French windows into the gardens be«
yond. She was so engaged when her
brother, returning from the stables, met
her, basket in hand, laden with flowers.
“A rustic flower show on, Marcia?”
“Yes, dear, in Carmen’s rooms.”
. “Dear Marcia i” and he kissed her af-
fcctionately.
The day wore on. Sir Geoffry was as
impatient to be at the station as a school
boy to be out of school. But everything
comes to an end, even waiting; and
taking the reins from the servant, he
drove at a. rattling pace. As he neared
the station he could see the distant train
and the track of the white vapor. Now
it came nearer and: nearer, and as he
stood on the platform the carriage con-
taining Col. Massingbird and his daugh-
ter stopped exactly inffront of him.
Out stepped the tall soldierly figure of
his friend, and beside him,
Heart on her lips, and soul within her eyes,
Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies,
stood Carmen, in a soft white gown
and a. straw hit with poppies
that made her a vivid foreground. A
pretty blush greeted his warm, strong
grasp of her band. ,
“Well, Estcourt, 3d fellow! Here we
are. How is Marci ,’
“Well; and longing to see you both.”
“Then the feelingiisreol rocal. She:
is a. cool and refreshing on this hot,
weary day.”
“Papa, there is Hortense strug—

packages. Do, dear, go and help her.”
Her father made if obediently while
Sir Geofiry cscorte tMiss Massingbird to
the carriage without}, and watched with
great pleasure the white robed figure and
then the red sunshltde that threw such
rosy tints over her dainty face.
“Your maid can sit on the front seat,
Miss Massingbird, by the side of old
Dawson. He’s as steady as old time,
and warranted not to fall in love with
the most coquettishtof waiting maids.”
“I do not think Hortense would have
the faintest objection,” answered Carmen
in lg:- meflowl‘laughingvpjce‘
"No! How unfo‘rtun‘ater rought evi-
dently to have provided a. young esquire.
Dawson is as deaf as a. post, but makes
up for that infirmity by keen eyesigh .”
“Here comes papa and Hortense hot
and flurried!”
Col. Massingbird took his place be-
side her, and their host sat opposite them.
Hortense did try to get up an incipient
flirtation with the ancient Jehu; but he
nipped it in the bud by bowling out, at
the top of his voice, “I’m hard o’hearing,
miss I" and with this subsided into his
usual tacitm'nity. Sir Geoflry laughed.
“That’s not encouraging l Never
mind, she can try her hand on my man
Brown. He’s a rare one for the soft
sex.” .
“Is it Hortense of whom you are talk-h
ing i” asked the colonel.
“ch,” answered Sir Geoffry, “she was
trying it: on with Dawson.”
“Oh, she will take care of herself,'
never fear! She flirted with every
waiter in the place at Wiesbaden. She
is an errant coquette.”
They were close to Estcom-t now, and
there on the steps to welcome them
stood Marcia.
“All, Marcia 1”
“Herbert I And Carmen! Why, my
love, I shall need a new introduction

“I remember, dear Miss Estcourt, it;

SOME WORK FOR WOMEN.
A NOVEL AND PRAC'TICAL PLAN TO
BENEFIT THE NEEDY SISTERS.
\Vomau’s Mutual Benefit
tercsting Details Relating to the Man-
agement of the Institution—Tho Good
That Is Accomplished.
Exchange—In-
Thc fact is well knomr that in New York,
as in every largo center of population, there
is a. vast number of women who, in one way
or another, have been reduced from condi-
tions of comfort and refinement, perhaps
luxury, to the necessity of at once securing
work'of some kind to support themselves.
But partly by reason of their former cir-
cumstances and utter lack of business train-
ing, they too often are unable to secure em-
ployment in those paths of life by which so
many others earn their daily bread. It was
for women thus situatedthat the starting of
an exchange for women’s work was taken
under consideration, in the early part of the
year, by two ladies who realized the neces-
sity for such an organization, and the im-
mense amount of good which could be ac-
complished by its means. The result of their
reflexion and action in this matter is the
“Mutual Benefit Exchange for Woman’s
Work,” located at No. 134 I’Vost Twenty-
third street, near Sixth avenue.
A GENUINE PHILANTHROPIST.
With the curiosity which characterizes his
profession, a. Star reporter called there on
Wednesday last, and on making known his
mission was ushered into a. very pretta'ly, yet
not at all expensively furnished parlor. He
was there received by Miss Sarah Ionise
Howell, one of the two ladies referred to,
who, without; any incentive other than a. sin-
cere and hearty desire to aid their sister
women, devote their time and energies to ex-
tendingahelping hand to all among them
who need and deserve assistance. Mis Howell
was one of the leading spirits of the Women’s
Depository and Exchange, situated at the
corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth
street until quite recently, when she found
that the rapidly increasing demands upon
her time by the new establishment would
force her to withdraw from the depository.
Mrs. Hester Wilson Dart, her able and
willing co-worker in kindness, has been awell
known artist for over thirteen years, and
now has charge of the art classes of the ex-
change. The funds with which the exchange
was established were furnished by a. philan-
thropic old lady, the only condition imposed
by her on Mrs. Dart and Miss Howell being
that her name should never be made known
in connection with the institution, and this
request has been strictly obeyed. ,
The exchango was formally opened March
11, 1889. Contrary to the custom of other
“exchanges” which have been organized in
this city, no fee in advance is required of
those wishing to sell their handiwork by its
means, but a small commission is charged
when the goods are sold. It will at once be
seen how wise a decision this is, as mauya
woman can enter her work who might other-
wise hesitate to do so, being deterred by the
payment in advance of a. "sum which in
many, perhaps most, instances can hardly be
spared from her slender purse.
No work will under any circumstances be
received from persons not obliged to support
themselves; and throughout all the methods
employed is seen the same regard for the par-
ticular class of women who really need the
assistance of the exchange. All goods are
sold at a reasonable figure, and are exactly as
they are represented to be, neither better nor
worse. Anything that; a woman can make is
to be found within the building; for instance,
household linen, fine embroidery of every de-
scription, fancy work materials, dolls, under—
wear, candy, prescrves, jellies, pies, cakes,
maple sirup, and even poultry is for sale.
now 11' Is ARRANGED.
Shopping is done for ladies residing out of
town as Well as for those who have neither
the inclination nor time to attend to it them-
selves; ladies wishing to make a summer tour
through Europe are provided with responsi-
ble chapcrons and companions familiar with
the continent and its languages; orders are
taken to cater for parties, receptions, lunches
and afternoon teas; orders for portraits in
oils, decorations in china and for crayon
work will be executed; music, both vocal and
instrumental, is taught; in fact, all that a.
woman can do is done here.
On the first floor is a. large luncheon room
business done by this branch of the exchange
is very great, and two additional rooms are
fitted up to increase the culinary facilities.
On the second floor is the reception room,
for the use of ladies during or after ushopping
tour. Herc packages are received and taken
care of until called for.
On the third and fourth floors are a num-
ber of studios and private apartments, which
are rented to artists and others by the month.
Miss Howell and Mrs. Dart are always to
be found in the building engaged in directing
the affairs of the exchange. The amount of
work in connection with a charity of this
kind cannot be realized by one not wholly
familiar with the manner of conducting such
an establishment, yet these two ladies attend
to all of it. Columns might be filled with
stories of the immense practical good that
has been accomplished; of the women who
come daily to thank Mrs. Dar-t ‘and Miss
Howell for their timely assistance, and of the
many other charitable acts performed by
these two ladies for poor women who have
not even anything to sell. No one, if really
deserving and needy, is repulsed; but all rt.L
ceive so kindly welcome, sistei'ly encourage-
ment and practical help of the best possible
kindl—that which shows them how to help
themselves.——New York Star.
An Every Day Justice.
They tell some good stories about Justice of
the Peace Nelson’s style of handling the causes
which come into his court for adjudication.
It is said that when a case was on trial there
recently, in which it was alleged by both
plaintiff and defendant that nccrtain witness
had been tampered with, he instructed the
jury as follows;
“If you find that the plaintiff has been
monkeying with the witness you will return
a verdict for the defendant, but if you think
it was the defendant monkeyed with this
witness you will find for the plaiutii .”
Another time, when the plaintiff failed to
appear at; the time set for trial, and the de-
lendant’s attorney moved for judgment in
his favor, he exclaimed: .
“This court will not render any judgment
until he has been paid his costs—$2.50, plea.
He got the money—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
no Hit Her on the Jaw.
A Lawrenecville doctor was escorting a
young lady from the opera. She yaw-nod
considerably as the train neared her suburban
home. He warned her to be careful. Again
she yuwned, there was a click, and the jaw
was dislocated. At once he gave her a ring-
ing blow on the chin, which drove the jaw in
place, but several passengers sprun' to their
feet, thinking it a. case of will) boating. He

Yesterday the reporter drank a cup of tea
with brown eyed Dolly. Dolly has a. small
fortune and is 22. Her father died; her re-
lations with her only relative, an aunt, were
strained. The two did not thrive under the
same roof tree. The kettle sings on the hearth
most merrily since Dolly has hired a flat and
a butler, and set up a buffet and receives

Gray eyed Dolly is a young wood carver.

cupations found practicable for women. She
has three dainty rooms in the last; place you
would dream of—over a stable. Delightfully
pretty rooms they are, where bric-a-brac

like the dreary atmosphere of the average
city boarding house. She does like her own
little nest of a stable home, where she has a

IIOIII‘lk Ibsen.
Like all earnest men Ibsen is easy to curl-
cature, for he goes to the edge of the absurd.
There has been a hue and cry about him all
over Germanic Europe and particularly in
Berlin. That he is a master of his art, that
his pieces play superbly, has only made the
attacks on him the harsher. People said that
he was a. pessimist—us if a man who believes
essentially in progress could be a pessimist—
that in his hands the thematic art had become
oratory, the stage a rostrum; that he was a
realist, he no longer believed in the genuine
——I should say the notorious—German Idealis-
mus; as if the real world of art and letters
cared what particular rules of yardstick crit-
icism are in vogue at Berlin. In spite of all
this, however, there are multitudes who read
Ibsen with great pleasure.
So far as my experience goes, he has on ex-
traordinary influence on young men. That
influence, however, is not a personal one. A
skillful teacher sometimes frames for his
class a problem the solution of which leads
them to a general law that lies behind it.
The student is delighted with the tangibiiity
of his new knowledge, and proceeds so eager-
ly to apply it, that, remembering the law,
I'lmvimmwi'nnf thin-v __l‘|l1 format: ‘
to it; sometimes he forgets entirely the
part of the teacher. So it- is with Ibsen.
A drama of his presents a truth so
skillfully that one is eager to apply it to an—
other problem, and, eluted With success, one
isapt to forget the way in which the truth
was first brought to him. Sometimes in the
new enthusiasms which come from reading
Ibscn’s plays, one forgets Ibsen himself.—

Tho Actor Kept llis “'ord.
Richard Foote recently had a. novel expert
once at Plankinton, D. T. When Mr. Footo
arrived in Plankintou from Chamberlain he
found that the manager of the Plankinton
opera house had billed his first night’s engage-
ment for “Richard III,” although the actor
had given instructions to be billed for “Othel-
lo.” Hc played “Othello,” however. despite
the fact that he had been billed for Closter.
At the fall of the curtain he came forward
and explained the reason for the confusion
and announced that he would play Richard"
on the following night. The manager of the
house thereupon jumped to his feet and an
angry debate followed, Mr. Foote declaring
that he would play “Richard III” in the
opera house on the following night; and the
manager affirming that he should not. The
audience listened attentively to the debate,
but remained neutral and went home when
the discussion ended. Brit. Mr. Footo and his
entire company staid. 'l‘licy camped all
night. on the stage, and when the marshal
came to eject them he was confronted at the
doorway with Mr. Foote’s brace of masth'l‘s.
No papers were served and the marshal re-
tired. The company remained in the theatre
and Mr. Foote kept. his word by appearing as
Richard III that night—New York Star.
Electric Light for London.
The city of London is about to be electric-
ally lighted from Fleet street to Aldgate and
from its northern boundary to the river. The
arrangement which the commissioners of
sewers made is the largest scheme of electric
lighting which has yet been ventured upon in
Europe, and with good management there
seems to be no reason why it should not be a
complete success. The contract is to be for
twenty—one years, and, bearing in mind the
improvements which will probably be made
in electrical illumination during that long
period, the commissioners have not lost sight
of the public interests. - They have stipulated
that when the profits from the contract ex-
ceed 10 per cent. one-half of the surplus is to
be applied to the reduction of the charges.
Also the commissioners may, if they see fit,
purchase the undertaking at the end of the
contract. That is an arrangement; with u hieh
the citizens ought to be well satisfied. It
