He was always a great lover of art and married a lady of similar tastes, who is now the sonewhat famous Mrs. Mackay of London and Paris. Some years ago she paid tho illustrious Meissonier $15,210 for a panel portrait of herself, but was so disappointed with it tbat she refused to let it be seen, and when the nrtist exhibited it at tho Paris salon she was so indignant that she left that city and located in London. Finally, however, she had the picture hnng in her drawing room at 0 Carlton Honse, London, and while the critics agree that the hands are unasonably large, they apirovo the rest of the portrait.

OLD CLOTHES.

Mado-Ovor Jaokot and What It Did for Its Owner.

If Curlyle had had my experience his philosophy of clothes would huve been modified thereby. 1 cannot say in just what particular, but I atn sure such an experience could not have failed to affect liis views on the subject

I was tho youngest of a family of six, und tho law of succession to castoff garments being firmly established in the family, I was brought up in old clothes. My sister Hannah was tho eldest, next to her camo Mario, then came Tom, my only brother, followed by the twins, Ludora and Isabella, and last, ntul iu all respects least, I made my entrance into the family.

I suppose tho law of succession aforementioned was a necessary featuro of my mother's domestic economy, for she was left a widow shortly after my birth, without an abunuanco with which to support tho family. Maria, being but a year and a half younger than Hannah, was very near licr lu size, and seldom had to suffer the infollc'ty of wearing her outgrown or outworn clothes. The fact of Hannah's having a new article of dress or adornment was generally considered a sufficient reason that Maria should have it Tom, being the only boy, was favored anil lu was tho only one who was permitted anything like extravagance In dress. His cast-off garments were givcu to our neighbor, Mrs. llobbs, still poorer than wc, to be converted Into garments for "the little llobbses," as we used to call her numerous offspring. Ludora and Isabella openly resented the "made-over" garments furnished them from Hannah and Maria's wardrobes, and soon outgrew the possibility of being forced to wear them but I think I must have been a poor-spirited child, for I not only "stayed little" so long that when I had, at last, grown tall tho fact wag quite ignored, but I generally accepted what was given me uncomplainingly, and when, on one occasion, I did give an angry expression to my detestation of our clothes and my desire for new ones, the family were astounded. My mother said she would not have thought it possible for her little Bab to show such a. naughty temper and selfish spirit and, seeing that I had brought her to the verge of tears, I refrained from further complaint, though the "little Bab" was, at that moment, as offensive to me as tho cast-off garments. 1 never liked the name of "Bab," which, in fact, is not 1113' name, and really is not a name at all, being merely a contraction of baby, which had been worn for a short time -by every child in the family, except tho twins, to whom it could not be conveniently applied, and had. at last, like the old clothes, been given to me in final possession, while my own regal-sounding name of "Minerva" had been laid away, presumedly as too gootl for my everyday wear. To the title Tf "Bab," sufficiently diminutive in itself, was generally added the diminutive adjective "little," aud 1 was called "little

Bab" until I was fully fivo feet five, which is a littl* more than tho height of cither Hannah or Maria but they possessing more avoirdupois and importance than I,

110

one ever thought

of calling tliem little. That tliis much wearing of clothes had a manifest effect upon destiny will clearly appear from facts which I am about to relate, tho time of which I shall speak, Hannah and Maria were both married, and Tom was in his senior year in the college at 1) An epidemic of measles causing the college to close earlier than usual, he came homo in March, accompanied by a friend who was a teacher there. I was absent on a visit to my Aunt Maria when they arrived, and when I returned homo, this friend, Randolph Morey by name —whom Ludora and Isabella, though they wero both engaged, declared to be "splendid!" had gone on, talcing Tom with him, to visit relatives in N

old my tho At

Soon after my return, Ludora and Isabella went to spend a week with Aunt Maria and do some special shopping with reference to the double wodding in which they were to figure not many weeks lft'er. Tho next day after their departure my mother said: "Bab, I wish you would see that Tom's room is in order. lie will bo back Saturday, and Ludora and Isabella wero

busy with their sewing I don't think they made his room as neat as it might be."

I found that tho room might be made neater. I picked up a garment which Tom had filing across a chair, and carried it to his closet, on entering which my eye fell upon a well-worn blue flannel coat and nether garments hanging there, and a novel idea flashed into my mind. Not long since a dress of dark blue serge had been mnde for me out if Ludora's and Isabella's old ones, and I needed a jacket of some heavier mar terial, but matching tho dress in color, to make it quite complote and comfortable for the cool autumn days. By rippingup those garments and washing and pressing the better parts of them I could get quite a respectablo jacket out of them, and who would ever know from whence I obtained it? I knew Tom would not caro, for, although there was still "right smart of wear in them," as Mrs. llobbs would have said, they could be worn but little morQ without patching, and Tom abhorred patches.

I carried the garments to my mother to consult her. She, poor dear, having' practiced making over until she had reduced tho work to a science, "jumped at tho idea," to use another of Mrs.i Hobbs' expressions. By tho close of the nest day our united efforts had produced a jacket which, with the addition of some pretty buttons and neat binding of braid, was really quite stylish looking. The next evening 1 drove to tho station to meet Tom and his friend, feeling quite "dressed up" and complacent (n toy new old dress and jacket But alas for my comply* cency I I was soon to know the bitterest mortification of my life.

The next morning Tom came to mo in the dining-room and said: "Bab, what became of that blue flannel suit that was hanging in my closet?" "Do you want it?" I asked. "Morey wants it, it's his. We're going flsliing, and as it's a littlo rainy he wants to wear it He's a careful fellow of his clothes."

I think the power to faint is not in me, or it would have assertod itself at that moment If the earth had suddenly opened at my feet, gladly would I have sunk into the yawning chasm. "Oh! Tom!" I gasped, "I thought those things vterc yours, and I cut them up and made them Into that jacket I wore to the station yesterday." "Cut them upj" exclaimed Tom, Ja

"ONE BOTTLE BROUCHT ME OUT OF BED." DKAn Madam: '-j Baltimohk, Oct.

I determined to go in and explain tho matter myself. It would bo easier than meeting Mr. Morey after ho had received Tom's explanation. I don't know what I said, but I made him understand tho situation, and he assured me the matter was of no consequence. "I should have had but little further use for the clothes," said he. "I intended to take them home for my mother to inalco over for my littlo brothors and I doubt not the boys would give you a vote of thanks. If tliey knew, for they don't like wearing made-over garments."

My heart went out, at oncc, to tho little.brothers. Mr. Moroy managed somehow, with a delicacy of which I am suro no other man could have been capable, to convey to me a compliment on tho feminino ingenuity whiqji could produce so pretty a garment from such poor materials, and even expressed tho hope that I would continue to wear it. But that I averred I never could do again, when Tom put In: "See here, Uab, if you go on wearing It, not even mother need over know but what tho things wore mine but if you don't, tho truth must come out,, and you never will hear tho last of it from Ludora and Isabella."

consternation, which soon gave way'to uncontrollable laughter. While lie was laughing, I was desperately considering. I had always been considered truthful I had always been truthful, whether from inherent goodness or lack of temptation, I cannot nay, but I have a humiliating suspicion that it may have been tho latter, as, now tlmt temptation presented itself, I was willing to falsify, or rather, to have some one else do so for mo. When Tom had subsided sufficiently to hear me, I said: "Tell him a tramp stolo the clothes." "A likoly story." replied Tom, "that a tramp should find his way up into my closet and select that particular suit old clothes as booty." "Well, toll him wo thought the clothes were yours aud gave tliem, away," I urged. "I shall tell him the truth!" said Tom, in atone of moral severity quite unusual with him.

Ho went up to his room, where Mr. Morey was waiting. A few moments later I followed him up the steps and slipped into my own room, which adjoined his, that I might see, or, rather, hear, how I10 performed tho delicate task in hand. Other emotions wero too I strong within me to permit me to feel any scruples in playing ^eavesdropper. When I reached my room I heard Tom assuring Mr. Morey, in a grave tone, tho frequent tremors of which gavo evidence of suppressed emotion, that I had deliberately appropriated the missing articles to my own use. "Tom, you are trying to sell me," said Mr. Morey. "No, she cut them u-u-p," replied Tom, the crescendo on the word "up" being caused by a burst of laughter, "and made—"

of the argument, ami c*i«iu,led that it would be better to wear the j-ieket occasionally, though I knew I should always feel "|uccr" in it.

This ludicrous incident made Mr Morey and me feel better acquainted in a few days than wc should other* wiso have done in weeks and that the attack I had made on his wardrobe did not forever disgrace me in his mind was proved by the fact that at the end of his visit he asked permission to writt to me, and within a year asked meto bo his wife.

I have told this bit of personal ex* perie.ilee, not merely, as the casual reader may suppose, to multe known how I happened to become Mrs. Kandolph Morey, but to point the moral to parents that the garments in which their children are elad may seriously affect the events which clothe their life's history.—Martha tlion SperlKck, iu Dctuorest's Monthly.
