KITTY'S By Author of 1 V 0 CHAPTER VI (Continued.) "Kitty," he said, "I want you to listen to me for a little while, will you I cast ote quick, scared, deprecating little glanc? at him, and let my eyes fall. My heart was beating in such a wild and foolish way that I could not speak, could not prevent him from speaking, could not think. I did not mean to say this to you just jet," he went cn gently, in his quiet, steady, earnest ton1. "It seemed scarcely fair to you to say it yet. You are so young life is all before vou you have seen so few people, i.een so little of the world, that I feel I may be taking an unfair advantage of you an unfair advantage of your youth. I meant to be patient. Kitty; I meant to be patient and wait. But a week or two ago I confided to Mrs. Corfield what I meant one day to ask you; and it has struck me since then that she must have told you something of what I said to her. That is why I aia speaking to you, dear, so soon." There was a moment's pause. Though I never raised my eyes, I was conscious of his gaze, fixed earnestly, intently on my face all the v.Lile he spoke. "Kitty. I think you know what I want to teli you." lie continued. "I love you, Kitty. I want to ask you, dear, if you will my wife." He had spoken very quietly, in a very grave and steady way, not as though he were confejring a boon upon me. yet not with excessive humility. My hands, which he held in his. were t rem hi in?, my heart was beating fast. I looked across at him, and his eyes seemed to hold mine; I could not look away again. He was so strong, so tender, so good, so true! And I loved him oh. I loved him! He ! read my love i:i my eyes; I let him ' read it. I ould not help it. "Kitty, t dl me," lie pleaded, gently. "Don't let us blunder either of us. I love you. dear, dearly most dearly. ME.'.;3 PRETTY TIGURE Uut don't be afraid of hurting me, Kitty. If you tell me I have no hope, I shall bear it as one bears most things. What 1 could lot bear, dear, U that you should sacrifice yourself perhaps regret it. If you feel that you have no lovt to give me, not enough love, tell me. Kitty; tell me now." "I can't tell you." I cried "I can't tll you; it is not true." My voice was unlike my own, tense, suppressed. The words came quickly, yet in a labored way; and each word seemed to hurt me sharply. "I love you," I said. "I can't help it; it's true." Holding my hands firmly in his, he drew me to the sofa beside him; ha put his arm round me and drew me nearer to him and kissed me. For a minute all doubts had disappeared; I was supremely, blissfully content. Then the good minute passed. I drew myself away, looked at him doubtfully, and felt my heart sink. "It's not not for kindness' sake?" I questioned eagerly. "For kindness sake, dear?" he repeated, in a puzzled tone. "You don't think I'm unhappy, do you? I'm not. I m happy enough. I don't mind Aunt Jane, and things are not so horrid as the' seem the girls are nice, and Uncle Richard's kind. Don't be sorry for me; I couldn't bear it, I should hate it! It's not that you're forry, is '" He was looking at me with the same perplexed expression. "I'm afraid, dear, I don't understand," he said. I found it hard to explain. I could not speak with that self-contained calmness that was necessary to make my meaning plain. "Are you sure?" I asked him. eagerly. "Tell me again. I wint you to say it again, that you're sure, quite sure." "Sure of what, dear?" "Of what you said. You said you wanted me." Hi3 gray eyes looked at me with a gleam of merry yat tender laughter. "I am quite sure of that." he answered. "There is nothing else in the world, Kitty, of which I am so sure." A minute later an interruption came. Uncle Richard, paper In Iiand, strolled Into the drawing-room. "What's the matter. Kitty what's the matter?" he said, us I rose precipitately to retrear. "Nothing is the matter, sir," John Mortimer replied, quietly. "Kitty has been promising to be my wife. We hope you will not disapprove." But I fled without hearing Uncle

"Hetty," Etc 0 Richard's answer. I fled away to the top of the house to a little dusty garret where not even the girls would think of searching for me; and there, with my new muslin, costly to the extent of two golden guineas, gathered around me, I sat beneath the skylight on an old dusty leather portmanteau of Aunt Jane's, and tried to think calmly of the ordeal that lay before me when I should venture forth from my hiding place. I could not face Aunt Jane, Uncle Richard, the keen, merry eyes of Meg and Dora, until I had thought about things a little, grown more sedately happy, until my cheeks had cooled, my heart had begun to beat more quietly, and my mind had grown less bewildered with happiness. CHAPTER VII. Perhaps a minute, perhaps an hour, had passed I do not know how time went by but long before my cheeks had cooled an interruption came. I had thought myself secure; but the garret door opened, and Meg's pretty, graceful, alert figure stood in the doorway in the twilight. "Kitty, my dear, John is disconsolate," she said. If my cheeks had been cooling, they grew brilliantly red again. My heart beat faster than ever as Meg's merry voice pronounced my lover's name the name by which I had never called him. by which it seemed to me I should never dare to call him. She stood in the doorway looking in. her blue eyes sparkling with laughter, her pretty lips pretending to be grave, but not carrying the pretense so far that it should deceive m. I was discovered; I rose from my dusty portmanteau, let down my dress about me, and followed Meg out upon the landing. "Come here, under the window, and let me look at you," she said, taking possession of me. "Kitty!" "Yes." "Do you know what a a peony is like, dear?" STOOD IX THE DOORWAY. "Oh, Meg. don't tease me, don't laugh at me; let me go!" "Kitty, mamma left off blushing when she left off bibs and pinafores. With the disappearance of your pinafores, the habit seems to have grown upon you. Now, come, Kitty. I'm your curliest confidante; come, confide in me." "I don't want to confide in you I don't want to confide in you at all." "Did he go down upon one knee, Kitty and and did the windows rattle very much? Oh. Kitty, my dearest Kitty. I'm dying to know what he said.' "I shall never tell you." "O. , yes. you will!" said Meg with sweet assurance, putting her arm coaxingly around my shoulders, and bending forward to look into my face and laugh at me. "You accepted him; and after your solemn profession to Dora only this evening that nothing on earth would ever make you. His arguments must have been weighty, Kitty; but they were sure to be weighty John is nothing if not profound." I shook off the arm that was em bracing nie. But Meg would not be repulsed; she put her pretty little hand beneath my chin, looked at me with rnock reproach, then, laughing again, bent forward and kissed me. "One might fancy. Kitty, if one did not know the circumstances of the case, one miht fancy Do you know what one might fancy?" "No." "That you were in love with John." "And I am," I declared, my eager tone sounding unconvincing somehow as I caught the amused, incredulous little twinkles in Meg's clear blue eyes. "I am. Meg. You don't believe me but it's true." "Poor Kitty." said Meg in a tragic tone, still unconvinced. "When did it happen, dear?" I turned away. Meg tripped after me down the dusty garret stairs; and. as we reached th3 floor below, twined her arm caressingly about my waist again. "What does it feel like to fall in love, dear? Is the fall a shock? And what does it feel like when you're there?" "Where?" "Io the land of love, the land of lime-ltght. In the lime-light I sup pose even John would look romantic? But a romantic figure with a short beard! Oh. bear with me, Kitty! Im agination fails me, I can't picture it!

Now, a long beard a long, big, yellow, Teutonic beard, or a long, thin, tapering, pathetic beard I could put up with under protest. But a short beard, speckled brown and gray, with a serviceable suit of clothes Kitty, I'm so sorry; I'm afraid I can't fall in love with John." "I don't think he will mind." I said, with a touch of malice in my tone. Meg sighed profoundly, her eyes still dancing with merry laughter. "Is his heart all yours? Poor me. poor world, poor rest of us." "Oh, Meg, don't be such a goose!" "I'm trying to be serious, like you. An engagement, Kitty, is a most serious thing. And the first serious consideration is the ring diamonds, of course refuse, dear, to have anything to say to anything but diamonds. Now, Kitty, let me offer you a piece of advice. Be exacting; a lover is nothing unless he brings daily gifts of flowers and fruit and chocolate creams. Keep that well before his mind. Heliotrope and maiden-hair fern and chocolate creams daily! My spirits are rising. Now and then you can suggest that chocolate almonds will be welcome to me for a change." "But he isn't engaged to you," I said, laughing. "No. Preserve me! But let's be fair let's divide things equally you're welcome to John, but let me have the flowers and sweets. And Dora well, Dora shall wear the flowers when I have done with them. Flowers that I wear always live for a second day. Do you know that that's unlucky? If you're to be lucky in life, and in love, the flowers you wear should wither quickly. Did you ever hear of that superstition?" "Never." "Be more sympathetic, Kitty. Don't say 'never' in that flat tone. Please to realize my tragedy. No one is coming to woo me no one is coming to wed. No John will ever say he loves me. By the by, Kitty, did John say he loved you?" I Hashed one quick glance at her, and caught the thought in her mind. "Yes," I said in a voice that would not be steady in spite of all my efforts; "and I wanted to tell you you were all wrong, you and Dora and Aunt Jane. He does care for me. He cares for me for my own sake for his own sake not for duty in the least." Meg looked at me doubtfully for a moment, a little graver than her wont. "That's very nice." she said, gently; but there was a note of unreality in her tone; and I knew I had not convinced her. (To be continued.)

DANIEL WEBSTER'S CHOWDER. Anecdote Told of the Onitor by an Old Salt. Every visitor to Scituate or the neighboring villages along the shore and farther inland knows Capt. Pratt. He is among the oldest of the town's inhabitants, and from an inexhaustible fund of entertaining stories he relates with inimitable drollery many amusing happenings of a time before the south shore became a famous resort. It is counted an important part of the summer's program nowadays to call on tins old man and hear him narrate some of the varied experiences of his ninety years' life. Sitting beneath the apple trees that shelter his home, with his little granddaughters at his feet. Capt. Pratt looks up at the sound of every passing vehicle and nods and smiles at the never-failing" friendly greeting of "the summer folks." All his reminiscences are worth hearing, but there is one which he tells with special sire. It relates to a certain day, lorg ago, when he was fishing in his boat ji:ft off shore, with several companions, says the Boston Transcript. They anchored at noon and prepared to feast upon a fish chowder the cook had made. Just then a row boat appeared, carrying two men in rough attire. They asked for bait, which was promptly handed over the side, and as they slatted away the hospitable captain mentioned the chowder and invited the strangers to come aboard and join the hungry company. They accepted readily and ate with a keen appreciation of the savory dish. "They do say," remarked one of the fishermen, "that DanT Webster brags about the chowders he makes over to Ma'shfield. I don't believe that he could hold a candle to this one., Whv. it's the best chowder I ever eat!'! 'Daniel Webster thinks so, too!" came n thunderous tones from the man who had borrowed the bait. "Sure enough," s-ays Capt. Pratt, after a series ot huckles, "it was the great statesman sitting on a pile of rope and holding an empty tin plate in his hands. We were 11 stirred up, you better believe, but he enjoyed the joke. He and I were great friends after that, and many's the fine luck at mackerel fishing we've had together." Kim-ou raging the 'Witness. The bullying lawyer is unhappily still to be met with, and his confusion h always the signal for rejoicing among the spectators. A distinguished colonial judge recalls how he once tried a case in the supreme court of one of the British possessions. The learned barrister who appeared for the defendant had an unfortunate habit of bullying his own witnesses. If they did not answer him precisely as he wished he would attack them with. "My dear man, do attend to me," or with, "If you can't speak up like a man, I must abandon your case." In this instance the defendant, whose name was Jonas, was .atber obscure in his answers. Counsel questioned him more severely, but poor Jonas only grew more confused. At length the barrister became exasperated and shouted: "My good man Jonas, do come out of that whale's belly oi yours and answer my questions properly." This was too much for the judge, who could not restr!'1 Iiis amusement, while the witness was so confused that he refused to answer, and the case was lo.st. True to the Family Tradition.

We parted in silence our cheeks were wet With the tears that were past controlling; We vowed we would never, no. never forget.

In a very candid and plain-spoken article on "The Graciousness of High Breeding" in the November Woman's Home Companion. Ella Morris Kretschmar makes these pertinent remarks: "Men and women who by contact or travel know the world's best society need not be told that simplicity and graciousness are the invariable characteristics of the highest breeding. If this fact could only reach the minds of that class of people who talk of 'exclusiveness,' of 'four hundreds,' of the 'vulgarity of trade,' of net knowing any one outside of 'our set,' what a grateful social change would be wrought. That cold stare of the wouldbe elect is but the expression of an under-bred, poverty-stricken soul. What is 'exclusiveness?' It is that human policy which shuts individuals off from the enjoyment of their kind, by which society gains, since an inharmonious element is thereby removed. How pathetic is the isolation of the determined aristocrat, especially in a small town where, other stirring interest lacking, human relations mean so much. Could even a Divine microscope detect the difference between the naked souls of a banker's and a grocer's wife? How infinitely stupid it is to draw lines in small places Instead of honestly enjoying all there is to enjoy. If one has had superior advantages, is there no obligation to give pleasure, to make sunshine in others' lives Dccause of that good fortune? The time is at hand when intelligence will be too widespread, progress to a more vigorous plane of thinking too real to admit of men and women looking askance at one another to make mental invoice of social, financial or other probabilities? Will it not soon penetrate the dullest brain that wealth, rank or leadership are powerless as shields against unhappiness, or as props to mental, moral or physical deficiencies; that there is positively no honest or sensible basis for judging individuals excepting individuality?" I'se f Handclasp. Every girl's dressing table boasts a hand glass, of course that is, it does if she's a real girly-girl, with a fair amount of vanity, but one sometimes wonders when she looks at the maids on the streets to what use these implements are put, for the toilet of the average feminine shows so often a total lack of symmetry that one cannot believe she spends much time using the reflectors. At least she doesn't let her gaze wander below her head, it would seem, for, while her coiffure is all right usually, the collar below is often a sight. One young woman in a car the other evening had on a blaok velvet stock which was fastened with white pins in the frankest manner imaginable, each little head showing conspicuously on the black, while at the other end a row of bristling points warned "hands off." The remainder of the costume was pretty and even elegant, but this one feature spoiled it all. Another maid who walked down the street recently had her skirt on slightly awry only slightly, mind you but it was enough to throw the line which commenced at the curly knot at the back of the head was continued down the plait of the shirt waist and should have finished straight down the skirt, completely out of its course, and so it was quite sufficient to ruin the effect of what was otherwise an attractive toilet. She didn't use a hand glass, that's certain. Examples of this sort multiply when one looks for them, says a writer in the Chicago Chronicle. There's the woman who pin3 her bodice with tiny safety pins, those fastenings forming a zig-zag line that it makes one dizzy to look at, and she whose sash is maudlin looking, it's so crooked, and a host of others, the great majority of the transgressions occurring in the neck arrangements. The hand glass is a real necessity, not so much from motives of vanity as from a desire to appear decently arrayed, and in order, and it's a pity, therefore, it isn't used oftencr and with more thoroughness. Tight I.nrlnir. The evil effects of tight lacing will be very soon realized by the woman who lias tender feet. The undue compression adds tenfold to the pain, and very often the ankles an: so swollen and Inflamed by the end of the day that they are utterly shapeless. In case3 of this kind the remedy Is not far to seek. The following treatment should be persevered in; it will give immediate relief, and, when practicable, should be resorted to twice a day: Soak the feet well In tepid water, to which a little ammonia has been added, and as the water gets cold pour in more hot to keep up the temperature. After drying the feet rub them gently and thoroughly with a mixture made thus: Add one ounce of the best linseed oil to the tame quantity of lime water, shake the bottle In which the Ingredients are un-

Long, narrow rooms are more difficult to furnish artistically tlum are rooms of better proportions. In furnishing such rooms the endeavor must constantly be made not to interfere with the little width they already have, but to cut off the length in effect. Where two long rooms open into each other, screens and portieres may be effectively employed to give them a shorter and therefore broader appearance. A sofa stood across a corner or a table so placed, especially with a screen behind it, helps to break up the length of an apartment. Another way to break up length is to form a group of objects, such as a table with books on it and a jardiniere, with a couple of chairs close to it, as if inviting guests to sit there; this group should stand three-quarters of the length of the room from its front or rear and a little to one side, to break the length of the wall line. Another way to make a room look less long and narrow is to place a larze rug over the carpet floor and a lesser rug of another color effect just beyond it. placing actable on the smaller one. Costume of lale Gray Ilroadcloth. Skirt and jacket strapped with the same. The vest is of dark red velvet. A New 1'lllovr. Have you heard of pillows stuffed with paper? Well, that is just what is being done, and from a hygienic point of view they are declared without an equal. These paper pillows arc in great demand for hospital use, and are declared by the Joctors who have used them superior to any other kind of pillow stuffing. The latest manner or preparing the paper for stuffing is to cut it into narrow strips about three inches long and a quarter of an inch wide. Then with a dull-bladed knife each strip should be curled, as are ostrich feathers. A case stuffed with paper in this way makes a light, serviceable pillow, and has proved more satisfactory than one stuffed in any other fashion. Coffee ly the French Method. Divide the quantity of coffee to be roasted into two parts, put the first half into a coffee roaster, which must be kept constantly turning until the coffee becomes a pale brown, like dried almonds, and is reduced one-eighth in weight. Set that aside, and put in and roast the other half until it is the color of fine brown chestnuts and has lost one-fifth of its weight. Mix the two parts together and grind them at once in a coffee mill, both roasting and grinding should be done as the coffee Is wanted. To two ounces of ground cofTee put four cups of cold water, then draw off this infusion and put it aside, then put the wet coffee into the bigger with three cups of boiling wa-

This makes six cups of coffee, which should be heated quickly in a silver coffee pot, but take care it does not boil, lest the aroma should be lost. Then serve it in cups after dinner. Never make this coffee in a tin vessel; always use either silver or the brown lire-proof china. Columbus Dispatch. A Good Cos met ic Authorities all agree that cold water is the best of cosmetics, and those who wish for good complexions can employ no better means to that end than the daily bath. Beside this, nothing so conduces to health and comfort in warm weather, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Taken just before going to bed, it frequently insures a good night's rest: taken on rising in the morning, it gives a feeling of freshness for the labors of the day. ea salt, cologne, etc., add much to the luxury of the bath, and one need but read of the ancient Romans to learn how far luxuriousness may go in this direction. A ."Mistaken Idea. Do not soak clothes over night. It sets the dirt when the water gels cold. Look ever the soiled pieces and rub soap on the worst spots, and put them in the tub with hot water to cover. Let them soak until the black stockings and woolens are washed and out of the way. Then wash the white clothes next and then the colored ones. The ISahy'H Scalp.
