Dorothy's Mission.

Louise Alexander In Oodey's Lady Book for September. She was a pretty maiden even in her shabby gown, for it needs a good deal to conceal such natural advantages as great, limpid, gray eyes, and a complexion like a rose-leaf and as Dorothy Drumtnond stood for a moment with the tea-tray in her hands, the occupant of the room became gradually aware of the fact. ••Pray excuse my not rising to assist you," drawled a'languid voice from the recesses of the sofa. '''Ths fact is,"as he came leisurely forward to the table where Dorothy's deft fingers were noiselessly arraying the tea equipage*

"I wish I could have brought you omethlng more substantial tor your upper, Mr. Ktlmsrtln," said the girl, while she paused with downcast eyes to make her little speech, "but my uncle wrote your diet was to be purely antipyretic for the present. Please ring if you need anything further," and the maiden turned and vanished. "And what in the old scratch means 'antipyretic,' I wonder," meditated Stephen Kiimariln.as he idly sipped and tasted, while he inspected with some curiosity tho damask-covered salver, with its bunch of gay June roses shedding their odorou* beauty over all. outside, where more of these same Juno roses weie growing in riotous confusion, sat Dorothy Dnimmond, awaiting the expectod summons from the hand-bell. With hor nose buried luxuriously in the centre of a great crimson rose, Miss Dorothy sat meditating upon the incunibentof the spHre bed-room and parlor and then, for the twentieth time, she pulled out the lettor which announced •.he intended arrival of the gentleman hoso diet was to be "antipyretic."

Dorothy smiled as her eyes fell upon ho odd,'characteristic writing, which eadthus: "MY DKAU DOIIOTIIY: I send you my best nation!—n voting follow stuffed full of malaria and molancholly. (Has probably been 11 ted by M)ino of your heartless sex—but this more"theory.) Let his diet be purely au-

DAVID L)KUMMONI,IM. D.

At this Juncture Mr. KUmartin's haudoell gave an Imperious liltlo summons, that fulling upon Dorothy's unaccustomed ears, fairly made ber jump again.

Life at Kairviow was a very monotonous a Hair. Every morning the invalid brought forth his pipe and his books, and lounged idly in tho hammock that had been swung between the troes before the house. At first this arrangement rather disconcerted Miss Dorothy, who had been wont to sit within the shadow of these same overlapping trees, to prepare the vegetables for tho noonday meal but as day succeeded day, Dorothy's sense of discomfort gradually wore awav, until if not absolutely unnlndful of the silent recumbent t.gure the hammock, there was just enough consciousness to give an exhilarating sense of possibilities to her imagination. Not that Dorothy had the remotest notion of anything like falling iu love with that stupid Mr. Kilmartin, as she occasionally phrased him, In her mind. Indeed there moments when she felt that she had no patience with this .•oung umn who lay droning his time away over his endless pipe and a lot of inanimate books, instead of being up ami alsmt the business of life. But then Miss Dorothy would arouse herself to remember that it was none of her business, ant! that really she ought to be /hankful,since his board would material'v increase a litUe private hoard that all

Mss Iorothy's energies were bent toVd accumulating. So Dorothy prowith her thoughts and oecupawithout an idea of the effect she tiu^ucing upon Stophen Kilnaar-

ir I T—"* A nal routine of duties, Miss Dorothy? ibe I I—I rH l\/l Z\ I I queried, with laDguid interest, after be XX 1 iVlixx i—' had contemplated for some time, the rose-leaf complexion, made a mental nods of the length of the thick curling eyelashes, aud finally of the busy, toil-

hardened fingers. Do you never grow tired of eternally doing nothing, Mr. Kilmartin T" retorted Dorothy, arching her brows interrogatively.

There was an interval of ailenc©—evidently Sir. Kilmartin was not a person to be in a hurry about anything—besides be was conscious of a distinct feeling of surprise.

But I have my prerogative, as an Invalid, Miss Dorothy," be said finally, a faint smile trembling under his long blonde moustache. "Besides, at present I have an agreeable occupa Jon—I am watching you." "Sophistry," declared Miss Dorothy with slightly heightened color, as she arose to depart. But the young man sprang to bis feet with surpising alacrity.

Permit me," he said, with perhaps ted •rom Dorothy

You have opened my eyes to the enormity of my shortcomings," looking down upon her with amused blue eyes. "Miss Dorothy, will you accept me for your scullion?" But Dorothy had vanished.

In the month that followed, these two bad made rapid, though unequal, strides towards intimacy. They had argued and quarreled, and fairly fought themselves into friendliness again, with a zest and enjoyment of which they were perhaps unconscious. "Behold said Dorothy one morning, as she pulled forth a long, thin letter from her pocket, and held aloft what was unmfstakably a check, with an air of exultant pride. "J» there not something peculiarly delightful about money of one's own earning?" And Dorothy contemplated the slip of paper with a smile of affectionate interest. "1 suppose it would baanimpertinence to inquire in what manner you earned it?" interrogated Mr. Kilmartin, as be pulled at his mustache in a somewhat morose fashion. "On the contrary," said Dorothy, with a charming air of candor, "I don't mind telling jou, in a burst of confidence, that you baa something to do with the making of it. Would you believe it? I actually wrote a love story, and made you my hero only, of course"—this in a dispassionate and disparaging tone—"I made you out much nicer and handsomer ana more interesting, you know," and Dorothy proceeded demurely with her occupation of peeling potatoes.

And this was the girl whom he, Stephen Kilmartin, haa likened to a ruminant cow, with not an idea above ber pans and kettles! "At least, you are very plain spoken, Miss Dorothy,' said the young man with a little indignation in bis mind that was carefully concealed. "But I am devoured with curiosity to know what sort of heroine you have given me, Dorothy," with* a lingering tenderness on the name. "I hope, Dorothy, she was like you." "Oh uot iu the least." protested Dorothy, in brisk denial. "The sort of heroine you require is one of those dove-like, sweetly pretty creatures, without an idea or au opinion beyond the belief in your perfection. Now, as you have hinted several times, am a practical and material young person—not to say downright mercenary—with au eye to the main chance, and a disagreeable habit of expressing my opinion without its being asked for. Is there notsomethingincon-

Eored

ruous between such a heroine and the ennuye Mr. Kilmartin, who really must have been born tired,-1* tMnltf and Miss Dorothy gave a wicked little laugh, and glanced up at him with eyes that were fairly dancing with fun. "I only know that you are the most extraordinary young lady I ever met!" retorted Mr. Kilmartin, glancing at her wrath fully, while his unwilling eyes took in the beauty of her face, lit up with an unusual suggestion of coquetry and sauciness. "And pray what do you mean to insinuate?" he continued. "That I am a purposeless, idling trifier, without the usual interest in life? By Heaven, I have a purpose in view"—with perhaps unneccessary fervor, "as you will discover before long." "Nobly said," Interrupted the girl, with a gay ripple of laughter. "And I suppose, you mean by this, to give me a warning. To tell the truth," with an air of pensive retrospection, "I have been a little worried, of late, about what I should give you to eat, now that the fruit season is about over, and the vegetables are giving out." "And sols my patience, Dorothy," exclaimed the young man, seizing both ber bands in his, without a thought of the absurdity of making love to a girl with a raw potato in one band ana a paring knife in the other. "Dorothy,"be declared passionately, "you know, you must know, that 1 love you. Tell me—promise me that you will marry me." "Indeed I shall do nothing of the sort," answered Dorothy, with prompt determination. Have I not told you I was a woman with a mission And do you think 1 would desert the dear old uncle How do you suppose he would get along without tne?" And Miss Dorothy assumed an air of grave and dignified importance, that implied even an idea of reproach.

At least you hav* a very good opinion of your own value," said Mr. Kilmartin. a little bitterly, as he relinquished her bands. "But surely I am onlv asking you what It is natural that you should expect. For I suppose you intend to accomplish your destiny as other women do, by marriage and since yon make it no secret that money is your first consideration, belore pleasure, or comfort, and the thousand and one little notions that girls of your age have always a fondness for, I can offer you as much of this world's goods, as would satisfy any reasonable woman, I hope." "Oh! thanks," said Dorothy, with doubtful emphasis in her scornfullyflashing eyes. "Yon understand me so thoroughly that I feel deeply honored by your declarations. But what ai» opinion you must have of me!" sh# went on. passionately, aa she sprang to her feet in her excitement, and drew tier slim figure to Its full height. "Can yon undent land the gratitude of a poor orphan girl for the uncle who reared and educated her—gave ber all the advantages that money could gain, all the happiness a kind and generous heart could devise? Then, when that terrible lay Cooke failure aame, and all those other banks, when everything was swept away except this miserable farm, when dear old man's spirit was crashed, heart almost broken, what was to

tered for the remainder of pur days, and here Miss Dorothy, who bad been hurried into speech by complex emotions, panted for breath, and looked slightly ashamed of her own vehemence. "Will you ever forgive me entreated the young mat), in a low voice, as he came a step nearer. "If I did not recognize the true nobility of your character, it was because you choose to disguise yourself and mislead me." "Forgive fiddlesticks!" exclaimed the girl pettishly, with a touch of ber old perverseness. "And oh, look!" in a tone of odd relief, "there are those cows in the corn field again," and without further ceremony, Miss Dorothy sped down the path with all haste, but Stephen was at the bars before her. "I had no idea there was so much 'go' in you," said Dorothy, laughing and breathless but she stopped suddenly in alairm as she caught a glimpse of his white face. "You are ill," she cried, clasping her hands in tragic despair, and sinking on her knees beside him on the grass. "Oh, Stephen! what shall I do only tell me what is the matter," and Dorothy's grey eyes were full of tears. "Only a—little—wobbled—around the heart," panted Stephen, with a difficult little smile, while his face gradually regained its usual hue. "Do not look so terrified, darling," be whispered presently, while his oeautiful blue eyes said unutterable things to Dorothy. "But I have been so horrid and heartless all the time," faltered Dorothy, drying her eyes, and looking like a rose after a shower "and while I thought you dawdling and self-indulgent, you were really ill and suffering," and at this harrowing picture, two more drops stood on Dorothy's long lashes. "But I will forgive you all that, my Dorothy," said the young man with magnanimity. "And I was a little hypochondriacal when I came here. Your uncle tried to persuade me it was only my digestion, but my father died of heart tronble, and I got into my head I was going the same way—so I lost faith and interest in my work, and argtled that it was useless to begin what I should never live to finish. But I see the folly of it now, dear Dorothy and with yourself as my mentor and motive power, I would promise to be no laggard in the future." "And the cows!" exolaimed Dorothy discursively, starting up with suddenly reawakened interest, iu those bucolic animals, "they must have eaten whole barrels of corn by this time." "Let them," said Stephen, recklessly, arresting ber as she turned to fly. "And really, I feel symptoms of a relapse,"in a tone of plaintive reproach, which produced its effect, for Dorothy knelt down again and left the corn-field to its fate. "And now," said Stephen, clashing ber hand with a smile of satisfaction. 'To return to our muttons,' a phrase by the way, you may introduce advantageously in your next love story Dorthy, will you, or will you not, marry me?" "Now you are talking sensibly," declared Dorothy, judiciously, recovering her brightness, "and I will answer yeu in the same practical spirit your question was put. If you are willing to wait, say two or three years, until I have that mortgage paid off or perhaps not so long, if some hapless ancl unwary youth should require an antipyretic diet next summer." "But I am not willing to wait," insisted the young man, with perhaps unneeded neat of manner. "Pray what is the good of money, if it cannot bring one happiness Money, money! I hate the very sound of the word J" declaimed the young man, with scorn and bitterness. "Why not call it 'filthy lucre,' then?" suggested Dorothy, with a distracting air oflnnocence, and such a charming smile that Stephen waB fain to smile back again. "Dorothy," he said, presently, looking steadily into her eyes, "once for all, will you relinquish your pride and your ambition to make the happiness of

our lives For I know now, unworthy as I am, you love n»e and it will be pride, and nothing else, that separates us, if you will not marry me. Will yon give me this precious, this unspeakable proof of your love, and leave to me your uncle's future as well as your own Dorothy, dear, sweet Dorothy, once again, will you marry me

And with a suddenness that quite took away his breath with its delicious sweetness, Dorothy threw her arms around his neck, and with her head upon his shoulder, sobbed, "I will."

FLIRTATIOUS MARRIED WOMEN San Francisco Argonaut Although a gradual diminution of at fectionate attention on the part of a husband is a great grief to a wife, it does not warrant her in engaging in a flirtation as a cure for ennui. There are other more efficacious methods of dealing with the recalcitrant husbands, and while a loving wife who is neglected always elicits sympathy, sympathy gives way to oensure if she becomes a flirt in order to avenge her wrongs. No woman whose love for her husband is true and deep will care for the attention of other men she may like to look well, and endeavor to be bright and attractive in society, but neither by word or look will she encourage any approach to a flirtation.

Women who do encourage such advances have much to answer for they not only wreck their own chances, but they exert a pernicious influence over those with whom they come in contact, and lower all women in the opinion or men. If a young man sees tbat his friend's wife prefers bis society to that of her husband, be reflects that were be to become a "Benedict," in his torn, very probably his wife would ©refer other men to him, and he concludes that be is much happier aa a bachelor, spending his evenings In the society of .the wives of bis friends, since hem so cordially welcomed. Married women who are flirts are often unscrupulous, and, instead of being tbe advisors ana coadjutors of young girls in society they become their most dangerous enemies if they think that their preserves are being trespassed upon.

ARTISTS' MODELS

THE DEMAND FOR THEM IN NEW YORK—THEIR WAGES AND NATIONALITY.

"Yes, there is an increased demand for models, both draped and nude," said a well-known sculptor, who has charge of the model department in tbe Art Students' League, to a New York Sun reporter. "This is due to the increased attention paid in this country to figure panting, which is itself due to a natural evolution hastened, if you please, by European influences. Two years ago there were a dozen nude models this last season we have had thirty for the school, and I have a list of sixty on my books. Fainting of the nude has increased among artists about one-third. The league will add another 'life' class, as a class for the study of the nude is called, to the four running through the last school year. The supply is always equal, I find, to the demand. "Draped models are in demand for illustrators, principally among artists and in the League, for the study of the head. Of these there is an unlimited supply, forty-nine head models being listed on my bookB alone. Of course these figures do not include all the persons posing, as artists frequently make use of their female relatives, or make engagements with persons known only to themselves." "What is most desired in a model asked the reporter. "In the nude male models, either muscular development or good proportions in tbe female nude, a fine tigure, race, and beautiful composition of ines. The females have not much shapeliness before the age of 15 or 16, are usually in best form about 20, and after 25 are likely to'lose their figures,' particularly if they are married ana have borne children. To be sure, there are numerous exceptions to this rule. From 5 feet to 5 feet 3 inches are generally tbe best forms—compact and in harmony of proportion. There is not much difference in tbe upper body of a woman 6 feet high and one 5 feet 8 inches in the latter case the flesh -in the lower body runs, as we say, to bone. But the great thing desired, whether in the nude or draped model, is the ability to pose with intelligence or grace. The lack of this ability is marked, especially in the men, Bome of whom with the physique of an Antinous have the grace of a beat. A school of instruction? Yes, that would certainly accomplish much, but the profession is hardly up to that yet. Abroad, models have the traditions of many years handed down through families to help them, besides contact with large numbers of fellow models. Why, I'm told that in Paris, in one of its big, skyscraping houses, there are living 250 models all together, tbe men, women, and children of families married and intermarried. And for the thousands of artists and art student* in Paris there must be 1,000 models. You can imagine the educational effect Q£i one another arising from tbe association of this large number of models." "Can you give an idea of the prices paid "In the schools a draped model receives twenty-five cents an hour. As I said before, they are there used for the head principally, and are very numerous. In studios a draped model receives forty or fifty cents an hour, or from $2 to $2.50 a day. A model employed by au artist who illustrates books &ft.,-ls likoly to be constantly employed, and would, at the rate mentioned, receive, therefoie, from $12 to $15 a week. Costumes are usually furnished by the artist, though of 5ourse a model improvising costumes out of his or her own wardrobe is not discouraged. Of late a costume depot has been opened in the association building at Twentythird street. "As to the nude models, the men at the League are paid forty cents an hour for a seance of three hours and a half daily, and are engaged for two weeks they thus earn about $8 a week. The women are paid a little more, about $9 a week. This, for an engagement with only one class. If, as sometimes happens, a model Is retained for each of the League's three or four life classes, the pay of course is three or tour times aa much. The Academy of Design, which has but two life classes, pays about seventy-five cents an hour, I Delieve. A club, under tbe direction of a wellknown artist and photographer on Union square, pays from seventy-five cents to |1 an hour. In tbe studios the lowest price is fifty cents an hour. Young children receive half pay. (Most of the female nude models, I might here say, are from 15 to 18 years old.) It should be mentioned that the season for models at the schools in most studios is from Oct. 1 to June 1." "Are higher prices ever paid?" "Well, yes. I know one woman who earns $30 a week, but then she has an exceptionally fine figure, and is highly educated." "How do these prices compare with those abroad?" "In Paris a nude model receives$1 for a seance for four hours. In Italy only fifty cents a seance is paid, the reeuit being poor models in every sense." "Is not tbe physical strain put upon a model constant and excessive "It may not necessarily be constant. The rule is, pose twenty minutes and rest five but it is against the artiste, interest to make it excessive. At the League, if a model has been engaged for several classes, a reclining or seated pose in one class Is alternated with a standing poee in another and wain, a model engaged for one class for the customary two weeks has one poee tbe first week, another tbe socond. On this point of wear and tear, it may be noted that quite a number or tbe models have been posing for four or five years, one old man having an experience of thirty years." "Of what nationality are the nnde models for the most part "The majority are Americans born of Irish parent#. I know of no French models here. There are a few of English and German birth, but the first are generally rather angular, and tbe second too much the reverse. There area few Italians engaged as bead models, but none as nude models, their general dirtiness and lack of grace, for the Italian immigrant is usually from tbe country districts, being objectionable. "Yes. we do occasionally come across cases of interest, where persons formerly moving in good society have, out of financial necessity, become models. Do yon see this pipe? It belonged to a model I once had. He was a Captain in the French army and a member of tbe Legion of Honor, but bad been expelled from France for some political effence. Poor fellow 1 I missea him for several weeks one summer—be was then pretty old—and afterward learned tbat be had died of starvation. Women, too? Ob, yes the finest nnde model I have ever seen was the wife of man prominent in literary circles at one time. He was

AST

ao hard pressed for living money, by reason of conflicting sickness, that his wife undertook to solve the difficulty by becoming a model. She was known to a few artists only."

AN OLD MAN'S PLAINT. Most everybody is dead. That is, all the old folks. There are mighty few left of tbe old stock tbat used to move around so lively and take the lead in business and public aliairs. Some of us are getting lonesome now. The ranks keep filling up, but we don't know the new recruits. Old Father Time Is a conscript officer and he won't take any substitutes nor give any a bomb-proof place. There are no quartermasters nor commissaries, nor pot-ash getters in this war, but is a fight, fight, fight all the time. Fight as they did at Thermop-

f,000,000,

lte where there were only 300 against and there was no possible escape. Sooner or later ail of us have got to go. We cant desert nor dodge nor play sick nor shoot a finger off, and there are no furloughs and no pensions and no discharges. There is not even a promotion for good conduct and noble daring. Thereis nothing but to do and die. Well, it's all right, I know, or it wouldn't have been so, but it grieves me to hear the bell tolling all about and to see the old stock passing away.—Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.

BEECHER'S BAD HEAD For two months in the year Beecher can't preach. In August and September be takes his vacation and endures an onset of Hay Fever. And it is, so hesayB, something terrible and tremendous. A man with Hay Fever isn't accountable for bis actions. He is merely a wild beast—frantic with snuffing, sneezing, and headache. His eyet are *ed, BO is the nose. Every nerve in his skull thrills with distress and his head is a fountain of tears. He lives only to fly from seaside to monntain-top in search of relief. And yet, whether we call this form of Catarrh Hay Fever, Rose Fever, Hay Cold or Rose Cold, Ely's Cream Balm will cure It. This remedy is simple, pleasant and easy of application. Placed in the nostrils it penetrates and soothes the affected parts at onoe, restores the impaired senses and creates healthy secretions in cases of tbe longest standing. You cannot run away from Hay Fever, but you can drive it from you by using Ely's Cream Balm.

My sou, a lad twelve years of age, was afflicted with the worst form of Eczema for a period of eight years. So virulent was it that from the top of his head to within a few Inches of his ankles he was a mass of scabs, which refused to yield to auv treatment that was attempted. Ever remedy that was suggested by friends or ohysicians was tried In vain. Allopathy, homoeopathy, herbs, roots, salt-water baths, flaxseed poultices, soaps, ointments, and in short everything that could be done to eradicate the disorder seemed to aggavate it, and the child's life became a burden to liim, and the expense of the various experiments was a constant drain upon our resources.

My wife, reading the advertisement of the CUTICUKA REMEDIES in one of the daily papers, resolved to make one more attempt at a cure. (The disease was now enroaching upon his face, and seemed Incurable.) I gave a reluctant consent to the proposal, and an Interview was sought with a famous lady physician of New York, who made a most thorough examination of the case, and promised a cure without the least hesitation by the use of your CUTICUKA REMEDIES.
