A wedding party was about to issue from the wide-open portals of a brown stone bouse on upper Fifth Avenue. As usual, a little crowd of curious street loungers had gathered around the awning to see the hackneyed yet ever-inter-esting ceremony of rice-throwing, together with the reckless launching into space of highheeled-slippers.

Simultaneously the Inner vestibule doors of the besieged mansion were thrown open. From an orchestra bidJen by a screen of palms in the marble ball came the strains of an inspiring •oarcb. A swarm of white-robed maid •ns and attendant men filled the enteanceway, leaving a narrow passage, down which passed the following per-

Next came the father, 'a slender, mid 41e-»ized, care-worn-looking .man, between fifty and sixty in appearance, but, in fact, some ten years younger. After him. walking alone with superb inde pendence, smiling, answering the fare wells showered upon ber leisurely, giving her friends ample time to survey all the details of her dress of costly brown veiT^t and sable fur, came the bride. She ra^e grood-by to the immediate aiembers^f ner family with entire composure, arid laughed at the showers of rice falling^ around them, as she took the arm of the young man following her to descend the steps, where ber father was already waiting at the callage door. "There, that's over, thank goodness!" ahe said, when seated by her husband, who oocupied himself in drawing an otter rug about her knees. "Good-by, papa 1 hope you charged Marie about the dressing-case, not to let it go out of her hands for a mloute. I put Aunt Hope's diamond star In there at the last moment. Who would have believed that the old lady was good for diamondsT I had made up my mind to nothing but a book rack, or a paltry little toilet set. I'm so thankful she settled on that old case of grandmamma's books as Grace'a wedding present and not mine. I wish, papa, that mamma would see that all my things are properly packed at once tomorrow, and put away till we come fcaok. I can't bear to think of their being fingered by curious people. Tes, we will write from Florida, and probably telegraph sooner. I trust we mayn't be starved travelling in that horrid Southern country. But think of Grace and ber cheap little bridal trip to visit Med's relations in that old fogy Tillage in Contiectlcat! I should think she would have more self-respect than to let •och a thing get abroad about her. Dick, I do hope yoa saw Mareden'a faoe during the ceremony. I stole a glance at him. for I wouldn't have missed it. He looked so dreadfully cross and blue —ha! ha! ha! Just as he alwavs looked he was followlag me arouna, and I danced or talked with other men. There, we are off, I suppose. Good-by! Jood-by!"

As the oarrlage drove rapidly down the long avenue, Klllnor settled back with an air of perfect oontentment.

We oertainly ought to be satisfied, Dick," she said, in a business-like way. "The thing has been done in style! Papa has been preaching so about economy oi late that I'd no idea he meant to give us such a send-off."

Richard started. He had. strangely enough for a bridegroom who had just succeeded in carrying off the belle of her 'set' and season, lapsed into a meditation of a somewhat rueful character. He was very much in love with Ellinor, but the parting with his newly acquired father-in-law bad not been as pecuniarily re-assuring as he could have hoped. Nothing had oeen said of the future ar-

«b*ck for one thousand dollars had been duly presented (and as duly, we may be sure, chronicled by the sliver-fork reporters for the fashionable news columns) to the bride by ber father, together with as fine and useless a silver tea set as Tiffany could furnish, and an elaborate trousseau.

A House Built Upon

the Sand,

{Constance Cary Harrison in Harper's.]

Fortune at the outset of their career Richard, it may be parenthetically remarked was in receipt of a modest and uncertain income from the junior partnership of a firm recently entering business on their own account.

Before the crowd around Mr. Talbot's doorway bad time to disperse, to their surprise tne large front doors again swung back upon their massive hinges, and another bridal train appeared within. This time the bride was smaller, slighter, less assured. She clung to her father's arm, and her husband, a stalwart open faced young fellow, shook hands right and left as he passed down the line. Instead of music from the orchestra, the cheery roar of a college song was started and taken up with good-will by the company. And lust as the fair young bride turned for a moment to wave her acknowledgment from the threshold, a small, elaborately dressed child ran oat from the group, and clung weeping, to her neck. "Ob, Oracle Grade! what shall we do without you

The little girl was comforted and caressed and Grace turned again to her husband but her path was beset by servants and old family retainers, who kissed and showered blessings on their "sweet young lady." When, amid a rain of flowers and rice and slippers, the second bride bad reached her carriage, che was observed to turn and throw herself impulsively upon her father's breast whispering in bis ear manifestly to the surprise of his decorum and his shirt collar. What she said, this poor, unconventional little Grace, was, "Bless me! oh, my father!" and the man of business, swallowing a decided lump in his throat, kissed her again, brushing the tears from his eyes, as he muttered a few unwonted words of benediction above her sunny bead.

No maid nor lackey accompanied this couple, and their surroundings weres" unobtrusive that the crowd upon the sidewalk gave vent to audible remonstrance at what in their judgment seemed an unequal distribution of parental favors.

An hour or two later the guests had gone waiters ran to and fro with piles tf used plateR, and solaced themselves at intervals with hidden bottles of champagne. The musicians were packing up their instruments in green baize bags the male and female Talbots were skirmishing on the stairs, unwilling to sue oumb to bedtime and to nursery authority. A few remote relations, members of the family unearthed for weddings and funerals, weie seen wandering around the house peering into shut rooms, and handling with itching finirers the wedding presents, ov»r which a Georgon-like maid kept guard. An elderly cousin in black silk, festooned with an antique shawl of llama lace, was discovered— no ene knows bow abfe *ot there—in the butler's pantry ogling an untouched Strasburg pie, while a pocket-handkerchief full of grapes, cakes, and mottoes lay suspiciously near at hand.

into a crlms-on satin ohalr, the two school-girl daughters on either side of her lost In happy dreams of future possibilities of their own. In a carved chair at the fireside corner, erect and placid, Aunt Hope, a shrew-looking widow, sat at ber kulttlng. All about were drooping flowers, furniture pushed into unwonted corners, the general air of discomfort after the feast which entertainers know so well. Poor Mr. Talbot wandered about, getting in everybody's way, snubbed by the hired waiters, wuo failed to identify him as the proprietor, restless, and dispirited. "As it is now half past seven, and there seems no reasonable prospect of dinner here, Maria," he said at last, after assisting the butler forcioly to eject an intoxicated hireling who was found sitting with his head in the punch-bowl, amid a wreck of broken glass, "1 thins I'll go down to the club and get a chop and a bottle of claret." "No, Indeed. John yon must wait tor us. There'll be something presently. Sit down here with Aunt Hope and me. The girls have gone to a 'rose-bud' dinner at the Mays', though I can't say 1 approved of it. before they are even •out!' But tbey were so set, I just gave them leave for the sake of p^ace. Heigho! our two eldest gone, there ll be these two to launch next winter, Jobu, and a coming-out ball, of course. Bow lucky that one can give such things at Delmonioo's!" "I wish you'd please to take another time than this, Maria, to talk about your Delmonlco balls and fallals. Wait til! these bills are paid, and see what tbey amount to. And what with George at college, and Tom at Dr. Blank's, and those two in the nursery, It's nothing but pay, pay, from morning tonight." "Well, John, I think you are very un grateful, for a fine family like our, to begrudge giving them all the young people they associate with ex pee t," said Mrs. Talbot, tired and nngramatical -'Just as our two poor girls are married and gone too." "Walt till John has had his dinner, and he will sing a different song," said Aunt Hope, cheerily and dinner being just then announced, John did brighten up as was predicted.

But not for long, however. Aunt Hope, who rarely left her country home to visit her city relatives, was struck with the jaded look ber prosperous nephew's face had assumed or late years. His once active st»p has begun to lag, and an unwonted peevishness had taken the place of his light spirit of yore. "And what will Ellinor do on her return Aunt Hope asked, when tbey were again talking over affaire after dinner. "What a queenly creature ahe was, to be sure, under her veil!" "What does everybody do?" asked Mrs. Talbot, complacently. "They will probably not want to go to housekeeping at once, since Ellinor will be overran with engagements, and I have advised Mr. Eliot to take rooms at the Hotel Guelph, where their meats are served, don't you know, and Ellinor will have no cares, no responsibilities. Of coarse we will furnish the rooms, and I am to go to-morrow to meet Palette. He has sock taste, yoa know, and with all Bllioor'a pre ents their rooms will be a dream? The only thing to worry over Is that poor Ellinor will keep no carriage at first. Mr. Eliot was quite positive about that, much to my surprise. Luckily I can call for her for visits, and they can have cabs for going oat to dinner. I think it is the moat delightful arrangement. Joat fancy, Ellinor will have absolutely nothing to do bnt to amose henwtf." "I hW rather not think of II, Maria,"

Aant Hope said, with unusnrl gravity, which was quite lost upon Mrs. Talbot. "Of course with Eltinor's looks we bad aright to expect everything in her marriage, dear girl but she was absolutely infatuated with this young man, and, to be sure, he has always hbld the best place in society—invited everywhere—and dances to perfection. His ideas and tastes are just like Eltinor's, and he has been lavished in flower's during the engagement. He is never seen anywhere except with men from the and the clubs, which with Ellinor is everything. She is so fastidious. I only wish he were a little more independent in his circumstances bat of course John will arrange all that." "Of roarse John will do nothing of the kind," said Mr. Talbot, With apparent effort. "We might as well understand each other, Maria, about this matter. Yoa know whether I have held back any of the money I have worked so hard for all these years. Yoa and the children have had it every bit. I have written a letter for Ellinor, which ber maid will give to her, telling her that I will continue the allowance she has ha to dress upon heretofore. Anything more is literally impossible in the present state of my affairs, either for Grade or herself." "Grade!" said Mrs. Talbot, trying to conceal the blanknees of ber countenance. That girl is a perfect enigma. Not content with saving at le&t to twotbirds of the money ber father gave them both for their trousseaux, and buying herself an outfit like a Quaker's, she has actually porsuaded Edward that It is better for them to begin housekeeping at once. They have been off together (luckily it is a quarter where nobody goes), and tbey have bunted op a twostory house with a box-garret—the most dinge, absurd little mouse-trapyoa ever saw—on the east aide of town. In Place. I believe it was occupied by a dressmaker laat. The worst of it is, they have actually taken It, and have set the painters and paper-hangers to work there. Of course I did everything 1 could to talk Grace into an appartment. Everybody goes into apartments now, and yoa may be as poor as you please in one of them, and still keep up appearances. Bat Grace says that Ed ward is too big for any apartment she has yet seen, and far too noisy. And Edward says be wants four walls aud a door-step all to himself. He is as obstinate as a mule, it is plain to see, and I pity poor Graoe when the honey-moon is over. What wili become of ber music —for she certainly has a lovely voice, and has had every advantage in masters and her languages, and all, tucked away in that hole, with that kind of a set, selfish man for a companion 7 Just imagine what a house it mast be when I tell yon that they got it on a lease for eight hundred dollars a year 1" "I remember, Maria, said John Talbot, gently, "when we first came here from the country, and I was a olerk on a small salary, and toe lived in one room of a boarding-bouse, and bad to be content. Aunt Hope, I see you taking all this in your quiet way, and I know it astonishes you. That a mother should reproach ber child for trying to live within her husband's meansl confess astonishes even me." "Now, John, when you try to be satirical I always stop," said bis wife, comfortably. "Haven't you, I'd like to know, always paid every bill without inquiring into it, and given the children every advantage without counting the cost?" "Ay God help me, so I have!" said John Talbot, getting up abruptly to leave the room. "Without counting the cost "John is like that sometimes," said his wife. "Don't mind him, Aant Hope bo is really the most indulgem creature living. A true American father some one called blm, who met us at Nice last year. What puizlesmels tbls holding back about increasing Ellinor's allowance. Of course he must be talked into It. A girl of Ellinor's tastes, indeed Ellinor must have money.''

During a mild week in May, about six months after the double wedding, Aunt Hope was again in town. She had called onoe or twice at the Hotel Guelph before gaining admission. The man in waiting at the entrance door took her card, glanced superciliously at ber poke bonnet, "guessed" that the madam was not receiving, and after a long delay came back with the in for-, niation that Mrs. Eliot, at 2 p. m., had not yet left her room. At last Aunt Hope received permission to ascend to uer niece's quarters, and being inclosed in An elevator, was carried to the sixth story of a sumptuous apartment-house. A boy in buttons answered her touch upon the electrio knob, and conducted her through a long dark passageway into Mrs. Eliot's presence.

Ellinor was lying on a couch in the centre of a small room littered with bric-a-brac, and covered with furs, heavy draperies, and costly rugs. What light there was came through thiu curtains of amber sllfe hung beneath massive screens of multi-colored glase. A wood fire was biasing on the hearth, and the air was perfumed to suffocation with the odor of roses and hyacinths, crowded in vases upon .every shelf and bracket. A small stand of gilt wicker at Ellinor's side contained boxes of bonbons, fresh heliotrope massed in a yellow jar, the morning papers, and a couple of French novels. Amid all this ill-assorted luxury the young wife lay in an attitude of utter listlessness, her robe ef white India silk half hidden by a covering of gold-embroidered Oriental stuff thrown across ber couch. "Humph!" said Aunt Hope, sitting bolt-upright on the edge of the first chair she conld find. "I supposed I had got by mistake into the room of some tragedy queen. What would your grandmother Talbot have said to this. I wonder?—«he who was up by candlelight winter and summer, sweeping, dasting, cooking, mending, to make both ends meet, and give your father and the others what education she could afford I Seems to me, child, the site of your rooms isn't in keeping with all this finery. And of course, with a limited income, you have to live high up. but that should be no reproach to you." "I wonder if yoa know what we pay for this apartment," Ellinor said, sharply, naming the sum that made the oldlady's spectacles fly off in her excitement.

That Aant Hope had much to learn she discovered in the coarse of this memorable visit. She found in ber nieee a type of an increasing class,' descendants of the thrifty New York merchants of a generation back—cradled in luxury, ana yielding to no hereditary noblea upon earth the right to surpass tbem in personal indulgence of their lavish tastes. On every nde in the circle of Ellinor's contemporaries might be seen push and struggle for supremacy in the world of fashion—a world of selfoonstitnted aristocracy, whereof the men and women danced to the tar-away pipings of a social leadership tbey aflfected to despise, creating, in a word, a London at second hand.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY ^WEJSTING MATT,

Aant Hope, who#«Ae had been wide open to the inteNRmof her fellows these sixty years past, should pause aghast at the spectacle! it brief interview with her niece reveaie#far more than Ellinor meant to show, Already the husband and wife had begfn to drift apart, both finding in the narrow limit of home companionship meagre food for their restless spirits. Night after night Ellinor went into the world, day after day lounged upon her sofa until the hour arrived for some fresh gayety. The discovery that for the first time in her life money to lavish on her own amusements was notforth-ooming was resented as a perianal affront put on her by father and hufeband both. On his side, Eliot, a good-natured and well-meaning young fellow in the main, waked up with dismay to the reality of his married life, instead of a helpmeet, be had a princess on Mh hands. Little by little dreams of domestio happiness took wing. HMr pecuniary responsibilities overwhelmed him. In despair, he went back to the'old society life for solace. "Whose fault is this?" Aunt Hope asked herself, sternly, pinning her little gray shawl to go down the stairs, heartsick and despondent of better things. Second thoughts induced her to turn ber steps in the direction of the remote locality where Grace Fielding had made her home.-

The small brick house in unfashionable Place was blushing in a fresh coat of paint, and the brass dragon knooker on the dark green door shone resplendentlj. A tiny balcony was filled with tulips, hyacinths, and wallflowers In pots. From the open windows of the parlor Grace's voice was beard sinrfpg at her piano. A handmaiden whose smile assumed personal interest in the caller ushered Aant Hope into the presence of ber niece. Graco greeted ber annt joyfaliy, and forthwith began the eager exhibition'of a young wife first belongings. "No, dear auglle, you cito't sit down until you hafi admired our skill in making sixteenffeet square do the work of twenty. No^crowdtng either we are proud of that,"ahe said, in her rapid, girlish way. ^With the book-cases, which, thanks to yoar blessed wedding present and Ned's college library, we have filled, we defy criticism as to the decoration of our walls. Those en ings and photogravures and the Florentine mirror look well, don't they, against the Pompeiian red, though 'tis only 'water wash'? The tops ef the shelves., you see, have served to accommodate the best of our wedding 'loot,' as Ned calls it, but the china ornaments have by bis stern decree gone into one espedal press in the dining-room. We are rich in lamps and candelabra, of course, and the horrid little chandelier was banished altogether from this room. A committee of two or three of Ned artist friends came here and 'sat* upon oar affairs while we were furnishing,

we flatter ourselves that the tone of everything is eminently correct. That portiere was an extravagance, but— don't tell—we exchanged a hideous rug for it that somebody bestowed on us Now for the dining-room. Isn't It a pretty spot

Here, instead of the traditional gloom of the modern eating-room, were light, oolor, fragrance. Two little windows had been knocked oat to be replaced by an ample bow, large enough, wh'en required, tooontaln a tete-a-tete breakfast table. The furniture, of the slender-lejr-ged mahogany variety, glittered brilliantly in a bath of morning sunlight. Glass, brass, silver, and porcelain caught up and repeated the sparkling effect. Two or three jaw of blue Delft held vig orous young p»lms. A bowl of yellow tulips' omambated the centre of the table, and around the litfle plot or grouod behind the house wistaria, ivy, aad honeysuckle made a wall of green to inclose a grass-plot with its central flower bed. "The wonder of it is, we are, in our modest way, a social success," Grace went on. "All my girl friends followed me here, and once a week I have afternoon tea, and so many pleasant people drop in. Now and again a carriage rolls into the street that brings all our neighbors to the window but mlny of mamma's friends have contented themselves with sending cards through the post. The visits of mere form will soon stop, aad then Ned and I will settle dowu to making our own "set," If we are to have such a thing. Think of papa coming, aunty!—papa, whondfergoes-anywheie but to the office and the club. Sometimes be and the children have their Sanday dinner here, and we have great fun. Ned and papa are such friends! (But then everybody is friends with Ned, Aunt Hope.) We see less of mamma, beoause she is really very basy going out with Ell'nor, and then she doesn't like to bring the horses to the east side of town."

They had luncheon, served by the smiling Phyllis anon flowery china, and afterward Aunt Hope fell to sentimentalizing in Grace's aesthetic three-corner-ed chair by the open bow. "There is nothing like the spring-tide of married life," the old woman mused. "How beautiful is this fullness of faith in the object beloved—this persisteut happiness owning no alloy! Bless me, child, I am doting! Give me a cup of tea, and then you may—as I see yoa are dying to do—talk about Ned's virtues till one or the other of us drops throagb sheer fatigue, and I know whioh one of ns that will not be."

Grace needed no farther invitation. She sat down on a cushion at her aunt's knee but before the confidence had gone fhr it was interrupted by a loud knock, followed by the appearance upon the scene of John Talbot, looking pale and worn. "Papa," cried Grace, "you here at this hour! Has anything happened "Don't be alarmed, my dear we are all well at home, thank God," ber father said, dropping wearily into a chair. "1 am glad to find you here, Aunt Hope, you and Grace—brave women and true. I believe I am a lUtle tired, that's all. The way has been long and bard, but my credit's safe. Yes: no man can say John Talbot has robbed him of a dollar. But for yoar poor mother and the cbildreo I'd not micd. There is a relief in all beings know at last.... Talbot and Co. have to-day failed to meet their obligations, and—I'd rather not talk about it just now with Maria and Ellinor and the rtst."

By the time summer was fairly under way the old farm-bouse where Aunt Hope had spent so many lonely years was alive with the clamor of young voices. Its long-cloaed doors bad opened wide to receive John Talbot'a family, of which the younger members made no scruple in declaring their «*elight at the exchange of domicile. Mrs. Talbot coald not be brought to think of herself otherwise than as a much-injured woman. She wore away the long dull hours of country life in vain repining for ber loat estate, and her one gleam of light waa the prospect of a visit with nor daughter Ellinor to Newport later in the season. To read in the society journals of Ellinor's appearance at the races at Jerome Park, or of Ellinor'a toilot at at hall «r dinner, was the aoiace of bar present lite, •race ami bar husband tbalr hciklaT* «t Hope Flann^ and

college. Mr. Talbot came but seldom, for a Sunday, wh«*n he could. He was back again at the tread-mill round of basines*, and through the generous sup port of his friends had every prospect of reviewed success. True, Aunt Hope, Grace, l&lward, and the family dcttir urged upon bim rest, but the reproaches of his wife i^ud the goading sens-e of responsibility1to his children made Talbot shake his head and redouble bis erertions. For a year this state of things went on, until one day of the following June, Talbot arrived at the farui with a look of rare excitement on his pallid face. "I've got the reins in my hand again, Maria,'' be said to bis wife, before the family. "Afftirs are going on Mtter than 1 dared to hope, and, please God, before long I cau give you all I robbed you of." "Father dear, how can you Grace cried, covering his trembling band with kisses and with tears—"you, wbr have been so generous, so self-denying, so tender. Speak to bim, mamma, and tell him this. He wants it from you, not me." "Well, I'm sure everybody knows how well I have borne this trial—'' Mrs. Talbot began, but was stopped by an alarmed gesture from Aunt Hope. Grace's arms were aiound her father, her cheek pressed to his. She did not see the Strang* look that came into bis eyes as be re^tod and fell hesvily to the floor. By tLe time they could lift him to a couch it was found that life had fled.

As if through a mockery of fate, the following day brought Ellinor Eliot, alone and unattended, to the shelter of her aant's despised home. Discarded by her husband, and overshadowed by the odium of a scandal with wblch the newspapers in another day would teem, she had come to her family for sheltei. "1 shall always tblnk that this misfortune of poor dear Ellinor would never have come upon her," said Mrs. Talbot, the day after her husband bad been laid to rest, "if John had taken my advice about allowing them enough to keep up the position she had always had. But tbere is enough left, I believe, for us to take a house in town next season, and she, poor girl, will be able to live down the consequences of her father's lack of judgment. One comfort Is, she Is still the most beautiful creature of her set."

For some years the little house in-7— Place continued to be, in the eyesof two people at least, the centre of earthjy sunshine. Wooed by the fame of its hospitality, guests came and came again, to go away singing the praises of their hosts. When, at last, to these young people fortune arrived in a measure enabling them to answer the demands of a growing family to widen the boulers of tbeir home, the change was made with infinite reluctance. "One thing I cau say with troth, Aant Hope," Grace cried, impulsively, when the dear old lady appeared $t the christening of a fourth young Fielding —"that the only tears Ned has brought to my eyes since we were married were shed when he drove rae from our home."

Aunt Hope smiled, but as she stooped to kiss the baby a tear fell on its face. She was thinking of John Talbot's wrecked happiness, of the mistaken struggle of hi* life.

When there is no pigment in the skin, an Albino is the result, with pink eyes, white bair, and white skin. When tbere is an excess of: pigment, freckle*, moles and birthmarks appear. Freckles are not alone due to the action of the sun. Some people have them in abundance ou the !«rts of the body not exposed to the

William Whiteside, of Lancaster, Pa., writes: "For over six years, I was afflicted with dlarrbooa. Mishler's Herb Bit-, tens cured me and Improved my general' health.
