Is sealed at last, and love shall yield to hate.” The unarmed Buddh,-.. looking with no trace Of fear or anger, into the monster’s face, In pity said. “Even thee I love.” IjO! as he spoke the sky-ttll terror sank To hand-breadth size—the huge abhorrence shrank Into the form and fashion of a dove, And where the thunder of its rage was heard, ■ : IG.TiTTTr TIA ■ - ’Circling above him sweetly Bang the bird —, “Hate hath no charm for Love,” go ran the song, < ‘And peace; unweapoiied, conquers every wrong.” The henator’s Oaujrliter J’arrics a Voung Editor. Miss Dolph’s beauty has never been disputed, and she has been an acknowledgecTbeile in...ui_fieial society, where Mhere are always pretty ybliffg women each season. She lias been happy' in the number of friends, and has been termed a popular girl. Some of her girl friends have frankly expressed surprise because, as they said, she did Pot marry money or position. One young woman, more outspoken than the others in her set, exclaimed : “Oh, ■ Agnes, why do you marry a poor young journalist? AYhy don’t you wait and marry a Senator, somebody worth wldle?” Miss Dolph, though “fimishtd” in a fashionable New York school, still Holds to the breezy, Western prairie off-hand manner of the Oregonborn girl. “Marry a Senator!” she retorted, with vim in her voice. “Marry a man as old as my father, and one 1 don’t ; care for! You know Senators are old men, or most of them are. Young men don’t get in the Senate. When my father and mother were married he wasn’t a Senator. His chances were ino better then than Mr. Nixon’s-are now. Now, you may wait and marry :an old Senator if you want to. I'll take the poor young journalist now, and we will wait together for the Senj ate or any other good place we can get.” Then, in a graver tone, she added: “You see, Mattie, I care more for him than for money or position.” Few Washington journalists have married daughters of men in official life. Young men often called newsI paper men are too busy to give much time to society. As a rule they are not in the “set” of society men, and have no opportunity to meet society girls. Several years ago Howard Carrol married Miss Starin, whose father was a member of the House at the time. Later I. C. Crawford married ■ the daughter of Representative Joyce, ; of Vermont. Miss Joyce was a beauty, not unlike Miss Dolph in the style of being tall and a brunnette. As Mrs. Crawford she is still a line-looking woman, and clever, too. Miss Dolph has much independence and strength of character that wil| serve her well as r the , 'wife of a “poor young journalist.” Washing tun Letter. Wife and Husband. , ' P Wife (returning from church) —How beautifully the choir sang “Une More River to Cross!” Husband—Y“es, and that reminds me that I have an engagement in Hoboken this afternoon. —New York Sun. The following conversation was overheard by a Tid-Bit representative: Wife—John, I want seven dollars for a dog collar. Husband—Seven dollars! You must be crazy. All I pay for my collars is twenty ; five cents. Wife— Yes, John, but you're no dog.—Exchange. “James,” said a Michigan street wife to her husband, “what’s this anti-pov-erty association I read about in the newspapers?” “It’s a ’sociation to make ns poor folks rich.” “And what’ll happen to the folks that are rich now?” “They’ll all be made poor.” —Buffalo Courier. Vvife (indignantly—-Albert, here is a letter I found in your pocket It is signed Mabel, and is, I must confess, the most sickening missive I ever read. Oh. you horrid monster! 1 will tell mother all about it. Hubby—llut, my dear,' have you looked at the date? Wife—No. but I Wilt Why, it is dated Nov. 1. 188:3. Hubby (with a look of triumph) Yes, darling; one of the loving letters you wrote me before we were married.— Judge. Adrirf to Wives and Hn*rt>an:l9. Remember that you are married to a man, and not to a god: be prepared for imperfections. Don’t flatter yourself that you knowmore than your wife until you have got home from her funeral. Once in a while lgtyour husband have the last word; it will gratify him and be no particular loss to you. Don't try and fool your wife about drinking unless you happened to marry an idiot. Then it isn’t worth while to do so. ••. .A,.'.4-':■ Don’t be too friendly with your prospective son-in-law.

Pongee is again a favorite summer material. i Scarf mantles are much favored for “dressy wear. Cashmere and silk make a favorite combination for dressts. Shirred and belted’ round waists are in fashion again for thin materials. Silk is again superseding woolen materials for rich visiting costumes. For midsummer house dresses the Scotch ginghams and plaids are used. Gimp and other faticy-woven dress trimmings are steadily growing in favor. * Ivory white satin and faille Fran- ! caise are equally favored for wedding dresses. Cottage shaped bonnets of smooth Milan' or lacellke "straw are worn by elderly ladie3. Children’s hats have very w ide brims, ! made wider in front and on the sides than in the back. Among revivals in dress goods is mousseline de laine -in combination with figured textures. The tailor-made costume is still favored l'or brides’ traveling dresses, but is much less severe than formerly. Very Ipw-cnt slipes are once more I favored for evening dress, and they haajr be black or match the dress- in color. , Tiling Women Want to know. Two hundred and sixty-two pairs of twins were born in Chicago during 18SI3. Queen Victoria is said to have astonished people at Aix-lee-Bains by i her do wdy appearance. The average age of European girls when they marry,-according to a Ger--1 man statistician, is twenty-six years, while that of men, is twenty-eight. •Recent statistics go to show that’ there are probably as many men in the world as there are women. In j Europe the women are in excess, but in India the preponderance is the ' other way, Susanna Salter is quoted as an illustration nf the possibilities for women in Kansas: She is the wife of a prosperous lawyer, the mother of four ■ lusty children,'-Mayor of the town of Argona, and only 27 years old. Two young belles appeared at a Boston dinner a few days ago with serpents apparently tattooed on their arms instead of bracelets and a circle I of strawberries and strawberry leaves ! round the neck, exquisitly done, both as to color an J drawing, and producing a striking effect. Though it resembled tattooing, it was, of course, some thin substance excellently painted, and made to adhere to the skin. (•ossip for the Ladies. A Welsh proverb mentions three things of short continuance—a lady's love, a chip lire, and brook Hood.

Cal.. jumped a deer and their dogs caught it and held it until they cut its throat. Breach-of promise suits are unknown :in Kansas. The girls out there do ! nothing on credit. They do not con- ! sider themselves engaged until they are married. The law of Wyoming allows women ito vote. It goes still further. It 1 especially provides that there shall be j no discrimination on account of sex in the pay for any kind of work. A London shopkeeper was recently fined under the new act of Parliament for keeping two of his girls at work for nniety-seven hours in a week—sixteen hours a day, that is, for six days running. I A girl living near Fargo, Dak., has had eighty offers of marriage. Four more girls have recently moved in, and the bachelors in that region will now have more chance to distribute their attentions. A discussion is at present going on in select circles as to which are the happier couples, those with children or those without. We unhesitatingly array ourselves on the side of the olive branch, says an exchange. A home without children is aicloister. Xovelties In Jewelry. Compass charms are in demand again for gentlemen: A small rustic branch twined with forget-me-nots tnakes a pretty pin. A fern leaf covered with a dew of clustered diamonds is one of the most graceful of pins. A coil “f hlaek oviili-Pii silver, with a diamond ia its center, is one of tiie newesrscarTplns. 'A silver handled riding whin, with .a. gay-colored lash," is :something that every fair equestrienne should have. Large opals in combination with diamonds and other stones are used in the gorgeous insect pins now so popular. A mosaic he"art pendant of forget-me-not pattern, lately seen, was suspended from a bow-knot of the same' style. Among seasonable novelties is 'tie strawberry pin,,of clustered rubies, the gold setting representing the seed) very faithfully. A very popular scarf or bonnet pin is the horse-shoe set with two rows of gems, one of rubies or sapphires, theother of diamonds. i ■ *
