THAT GIRL AT AYOITN; Englishman wsts sitting in tlx1 hall of a hotel i t-'hi-ca go gua wing Ins mustache. II wsis ;i journalist, and a week a'o no loss a personage than the editor of tin c'hantieieer had offered to consular a series of articles from his pen if he could hit mi a new idea. lie I.iul Uni cudgeling his brains over Vmce. A new idea': He must certainly find it a new idea! Charlie ltarth-U watched the crowd musingly, lit contemplated a pretty woman coining down tin staircase and the youth ;:t the cahlc counter and the hoy behind the hook stall. Then he wiped the perspiration from his fact; and lmoght a newspaper. Scanning the sheet he saw an advertlsement that suggested possibililb's, and he read it through again. It ran thus: ITHMri:i:AN('i:-i:iined home for a limited lannher of patients of loth sexes, suffering from stimulants, chloral or tic; morphine hahit; judicious supervision: luxury and recreations: highest referent es. Tor prospectus and particulars, UK. FMKl'L"SON.Thu ttctreat, Lake Lincoln." The lif in such a pho e ought tt furnish very good copy" indeed. Tire "patients of b;dh sexes" should make a peculiarly interesting study. "! think." s;I? Charlie r..rtlett to himself. "I think 1 t:-iy cry -Mürel:-: ' The thing hasn't b: done and I'll drop a S'lio to the worthy doctor this afternoon." lie wrote as a "victim to alcohol." He said that lie wished to place himself und;'.- a linn, re: training: influence, rearing. however, that if he were at all bored his recovery might he retarded he would he ghol to Pear how many Indies and gentlemen were at present residing t ruhu- I if. Ferguson's roof. Ti:e reply, which came ly return of pest, was satisfactory. The terms were u-:y liiih higher than he had expected them to he, and the establishment contained twenty patients, of whose. ighi v.c'o ladies. Lake Lincoln was a little over an hour's run from the city, and when the train deposited Harth tt at the plnrl'onn lie found that "The lietresit" was weil k!;o : Dr. l-'rr;!!-Hü welcomed hint cordially. "I ani h.r. py ! ec .vott. Mr. Ihtrllott." he .said; "1 guess you will not rgr:-t your st-p. sir. I guess if you are ;u earnest, sir, we shall soon have overcome the propewsif y coinpkii ned of." Certain inu-rrngatoiies followed, for which he na partly prepared. Among other things he was asked how long he had hoen a victim to the habit, an t remembering th.at his appearanct; did not re.-embie a continued drunkard's ho was careful to say that it was only for a shor? tiu:e. Aral then the doctor rang for the colored servant to show him to the bedroom allotted to him, and warned him that he nitisl not feel offended at his baggage bo; us examined when it wa. delivered, hi order that it might be seen whether any spirits were secreted in it. "It's like the customs," he said, '"that's all. One of our necessary customs'. " He made the sanve joke to everybody in the lirst interview. Some patients laughed, aial some smiled wryly. Charlie laughed, and the doctor was pretty sure that nothing was being smithied this time. "I am allowed to smoke, I suppose V" "Why. cerfnly." said Dr. Ferguson. "Volt are at liberty to do whatever you choose here, sir all but one thin:,', and don't yen forget it. Wo lake supper at , Mr. Dart let t, and afterward, if it is pleasant, .summer evenings, sit in the grounds." It might have been a "spa" hotel, ho decided, as he stated himself at the tabh ar.d the suggestion grw stronger as the nreai proceeded. Everybody hero appeal e I to lind the same delight in dwelling n his symptoms. A !:':.'!! next, him. sipping Apollinaris, Turned and remarkcil: "No craving to-day-this is i he third day without any craving, sir. Wonderf id." A vom:ui opposite groaned audibly and sia-.iU her hoad at her neighln i with a tord nf significance. "I,mv," she said, it: a whisper, "mighty low! How ie .ion. dear'.'" This patient, he st;! ;,iuei!t!y bu i:ed, was KUiferiu': fro;:i the deprivation of her chloral. hi.ioL,' about ldm, his view was met by a girl who could jcatcely have ben more ilia n Si ve-and-t wclily years of a:i'. lief pah hue was extremely interesting, ami her beaut 3', in conjunction with her youth and the situation, made her a pathetic figure to behold. He wondered f.r what particular vice she was bei iii treated, and if she would be cured, lie hoped he would be intitduced to her I Iter. The hope was fulliiled. They wore i::ad.J known So each other by Dr. Fergusoii in the garden ".Mr. Itartlett, Miss Vancouver." She smiled graciously. "May 1,'' murmured Clin 1 be, "if it isn't indis'-reet V l'ut, perhaps I oughtn't to ask." "What am 1 hen- for do you mean':" she said, turning her big eyes on him frankly. "Oh. my trouble is morphia I'm a morpho-maniiie; what's yours V" F.i'-drink." he said bashrully. "Hut I'm not a very bad ease, you know; I've put myself under restraint early." (Mi!" the tro id.

"Don't you crave';" she whispered. "Aren r you burning to be at it'; Tell me all." "I should enjoy a little whisky, certainly." he admitted. "And how about yourself; You are getting over the er weakness, you say';" "Don't you believe it! I'm hopeless, that's what I am: nothing will ever cure me. He thinks 1 am getting on. and I'm quiet, and I deceive him, but when I'm out " "You Avill do it again';" "Oli." she gasped. "I'd love it! I'd love it this minute now. Haven't you ever tried it'; It's beautiful! Don't let us talk about it. Talk about smoothing else, quick! Tell me the fascination of whisky; I can't understand that." So he explained to her. as well as he could, being a temperate young man, the fascination of getting intoxicated on whisky, ami she listened with avidity. Then their conversation drifted into pleasantcr channels, and he discovered that, her passion apart, she was a singularly bright and intellectual companion. They discussed a variety of topics, from literature to lawn tennis, and said "(Jood night" at last, with the arrang". ment that they should make up a match on the following afternoon, a couple of decent courts being among the doetor's "recreations." In one way and another Iiartlett found himself in M'ss Vancouver's society a great deal timing the next few days. Primarily lie thought it was because she was able to supply him with so much material for the "series" she was acquainted with the details of every inmate's case but by degrees he was forced to own that it was because he liked her. Strange as it may sound as it did sound to Iiartlett she attracted him. 110 longer as good "copy," but as a girl. It was only as his interest in her deepened that the painful fact constantly oppressed him. and then lie came to the conclusion that she was occupying his thoughts much more than Mas desirable and ho determined to bring his investigations to a close. lie told her one morning that his stay was terminating. "1 have been here three weeks and I have not tasted a drop of whisky the whole time," he said. "If I can do without it for three weeks 1 can do without it always. Miss Vancouver, I am cured." She gazed at him sadly. "I hope so." she said, "but. I never yet heard of so quick a cure. Have you spoken to the doctor?" "I intend to do so," replied Charlie. "Anyhow, I have not been placed here I can leave whenever I like." They were in the garden as usual; Miss Vancouver was lying in a hammock. She had a white dress on, and her hair was milled by the cushion and the breeze. He thought he had never seen her look so charming, so subversive to his common sense. Her dark eyes were regretful, almost tender. "Sha'n't I go';" he said. "How how can I advise you?" said Miss Vancouver. "You must do what you think best." lie stood frowning at the grass and. more than ever, he knew that it was true. lie was in love with her. Nothing more hideous could well have happened to him. In love with this girl. Yes, indeed, the sooner he went the better for his peace of mind. "Do you know that you have never told me your name';" he said huskily; "I should like to know your Christian name." "It's Frankie." "'Frankie Vancouver it's curious; somehow it suits you. 1 shall go this afternoon, Miss Frankie Vancouver. Vr.l you say gcod-by to me now''' lie knew as lie turned away across the lawn that she understood he Mas fond of her, and she, as she lay watching Ids receding figure, knew that she eared for him. And, of course, it was one of those things that he ought to have ridiculed an. I sneered at and forgotten. Only he could not. It rentable! a horrible consciousness with hisu that the girl he loved was shut up in an establishment at Lake Lincoln for treatment for the morphia vice. Sometimes the picture of what she might, become forced itself between him and his work', and the face of Frankie ten years hence glared up at him from the manuscript. Then he shuddered ;iid left his desk, and the article did not progress very rapidly the rest of that day. He fot.nd it so ditlictill to concentrate his attention on what he was doing that U was a fortnight before Nu. 1 of the scries was finished. After that, however, he fell Into the swing of the thing, ami went on apace. He had decided to submit the six papers-ho meant to have six all at once, and, when they were done he rubbed his hands. They represented an editorial compliment and a very substantial check, he calculated. He was staying In a boarding house, and he was inclined to be careless in his habits. What was his dismay the following morning, on unfolding his copy of the Chanticleer, to see that Ii lind been forestalled. There it was with trrrlllc headlines, und a "leader calling attention to It besides "The

Liquor and the Ladies! Life in a Dipsomaniac Home. Ity Our Special Commissioner. To He Continued Day by Day. Dainty Dames Demand Drink Desperately! Startling Stories of Some Sinners in Society!" He caught up his hat ami cane and jumped on the lirst cable car that passed him. The edit.tr of the Chanticleer was in. and. as it happened, accessible. "I want to know who's doing vom 'Dipsomaniac Home' series';" began Charlie. "I suppose it isn't a secret who is he';" "Well." said the editor. "I guess it ain't your affair, but I don't mind telling you. The stuff was sent in by an 'outsider. ami I thought it a good idea. What do you ask for, anyhow';" "What do I ask for";" echoed Charlie excitedly: "look here ami hen; and here!" He showered his manuscripts on the table as he spoke. "You told me to do you some articles on a new subject: I did the articles: and now this infernal outsider of yours has robbed me of my matter. I leave my deskopen and he has been at it." "Well." remarked the other, "all that don't concern me." He whistled through a tube, and presently announced that the "outsider" was Oeorge II. Wilbrow, and the address given was on the North Side. Charlie drew a long breath and depart oil. It was an awkward road to lind, but he gttt to it at last. lie stood on the hearth rug and felt the suppleness of his cane. Then the door opened and admitted Miss Frank ie Vancouver! Uotli started violently; both uttered the same monosyllable at the same moment "You';" "Hut but. how ";" gasped Charlie. "(borge II. Wilbrow' is my pen name." she explained. "I am a journalist. That is why I am at the 'lietreat. 1 only shammed the morphia I had to be something terrible, or I couldn't have got in. I hope you are keeping sober." she added. "Sober!" he cried; "why. heavens above! I am a journalist; I shammed the whisky; I. too. have written a series of papers, and that's the reason I expected to lind a man. and had conn; to thrast him. "Will you let me shake your dear little hand again, instead';" And she did let him. and he kept on shaking it; and then, somehow rother, his arm was around her waist and she was crying n his shoulder, and and the ivst was banal.

And he set himself out to please, and to veivome the unsioken antagonism. If had a lclo-ate part to play, and he played it with a delicacy and a tact which rarely have been epiallcl. lie did not assert himself; he kept himself in the background; he said little; his approaches at lirst were slight ami almost imperceptible, but he was always r-ady t l or to help in an unaggressiv way. lie folIwd her about the house, up stairs and down stairs, and he looked and waited. Then he began to sit on iho trail of her gown: to stand as close t her as was lit ami proper; once in a while, to jump upon the sofa beside her, or into the easy chair behind her. winking at me from time to time in his luiet way. And at last he was successful. One lreary wintir, when he sutYered terribly from inflammatory rheumatism, he found his mistress making a bed for him by the kitchen lire, getting up in the middle of the night to go lown to look after him, when he uttcrctl in pain the cries he could not help.

"I was ii a stag that runs up through Napa Cunty a few days ago," said Attorney Martin Stevens, "when 1 passed a farm huse with half a tlozcn mischievous boys playing about the yanl. Outside tin gab; were half a dozen fat pigs with tin cans tied to their ntubby tails. The cans were tilled with rocks ami rattletl Iik ov bells every time a pig moved. The porkers stood glaring at each uthr while trying to make up their minds whether to run and squeal or stand still and grunt. "Why ilo they put weights ui the pigs' tails';' inquired a young Lnglishniaii, who was going up Into Lake County to learn ranching. "To keep "em from lunnin' all tin fat off themselves,' explained the stage driver. " 'Oh. ya a-s, novel Idea, ba .love, exclaimed flic Itritisher. ".Inst then wo passed a couple of logs that were trying to gnaw the tin cans off their tails. "T.ut why lo they put .vighls n the dogs' tailsV asked the Uritisher, vlu suspected the driver of lying. "'Why, to keep 'em from chasing th hogs, of course.' " 'Oh, ya-a-s; how stewphl of mo! "He was satisfied that he had much to learn about ranching."- San Francisco I'ost.

HIDING FAMILY JEWELS. Apro.-.iir.out sa t emanuiac; urer.in speaking of the sensational diamond robberies of the last week or two. said that in such cases carelessness was usually the cause. "We have built many vaults in lotuses similar to the Brooklyn vault safe, but naturally stich work is not noised abroad to any extent. In fact, absolute secrecy as to loatio;i. etc.. is one of the provisions of such -on tracts. Of late years we have built safes in the oddest and least suspected parts for result noes, and houses have been entered by burglars and rohbed of articles of small value while these hidden safes are passed by unnoticed. "These jewel safes cost anywhere from $.".cm to several thousand, where thero is" any excavating work or any elaborate pr isiosis for hitting entrance doors, etc. Jut a safe in a private residence is much more secure than an office safe, which is unprotected during the night. Few burglars will risk the inevitable discovery that would follow an attempt to blow up a s-afo in a private residence." The safe in which Mrs. Wiliie K. Yandcrbilt keeps her beautiful gems is a small tue built in a cabinet to match the style of Ck; room in which it is constructed. In outward appearance it is a beautiful piece of old furniture, but within it contains a perfectly made and extra strong safe of the iron box variety, with places for money, papers and set and unset stones. The other Yandcrbilt residences have safes built in the wails which are of the newest kind and safest possible construction. When the value of the Van- " - It ! ; b.: fcaikOf'Sa 4y,i:.. ; mm IS mi:. w. k. vAxitr.nuir.T s sai ::. derbilt gems is considered, one can imagine that to feel security for their safe keeping precautions must lt!i' the greatest kind. Private detect ics are usually employed as watchmen about the Vamlerbilt ami Astor residences, both day and night. When the daughter of "Hoss" McLaughlin, of Ilrooklyn. was married about four years ago. she received presents to the amount of over S12ö.tuo in diamonds and jewels of various kinds. She made her resident- n Washington Park, Urooklyn, and beneath the sidewalk she had built a rcmarkahlc vault, li reproof and guaranteed to be absolutely sale. Solhl ste-l interven-l betve'ti the pavement ami the roof of the vault. Wnist Measurements. What is a well-proportioned waist'; Lady I bitten on says: "Tin true proportion is a dill'erenee of ten inches between the ciivumlVrcnc' tf tin; bust and that of the waist. Thus a woman whose bust measures thirty-six inches should have a waist nu asurin tweniysix inches. Lust forty inches, waist thirty inches, and so in. Very few corsets are made in this proportion, and if they were, still fewer people would buy them, as fashion deeives that the waist should nuasiuv from twelve to fifteen inches less than the bust." Jn the nirse of Ihm womci. may come to realize that true artistic effect is only nttainetl by a proper resptct for proportion ami symmetry. I'lcuty acknowledge this truism in most things but dress, where they cannot avil flying to ?vtretues. IllottnicrM if Itrot-uilt I Satin. Perhaps the most unique novelty is the dainty hiee-triiumed bloomers of brocaded satin. They are designed to take tin pi. ice f the short il.uiio 1 petticoat so dear to the heart f the ohl-fash-iohed wimau. Th.es bloomers are lined throughout with caatou llanuel to yive the necessary warmth, ami really protect, the legs much more effectually than ii skirt would. The fashionable new woman wears over them nothing but a long silk petticoat and her dress skirt, but she wears beneath them the regulation flannel drawers. Loss expndve bloomers are male of taffeta, ml still others of flannel.

barbarities. The linger nails need suf lieient rubbing with the chamois brush after the hands have been washed to revive them from the dinginess imparted by water. Hut the rhinestonelike glow which was the pride of the well-manicured a few years ago is considered atrocious now. The use of paste and of coloring matter to increase the luster is utterly abolished. I'cllc of the Capital. There are two young ladies in the family of the vice president, and both are popular girls. Miss .lulia Stevenson might, perhaps, claim the honor of being the belle of the capitol. for she is much admired, not only by the young people among whom she moves, but by all classes of society. The Stevenson ixlrU are sweet, unaffected, full of life and kindly in manner, dress sty-

The girls are tfien much amused at the various accounts that get into the papers of their imaginary gifts, one journal stating that both of them were so skilled with th needle as to be able to make tluir own gowns, while the truth is that it is an accomplishment they do not possess and one that could not bo expected in consideration of the elaborate toilettes that are now worn. Newest Nee lie Note?. Venetian embroidery done on heavy linen is very effective. The designs are outlined with flat souta he braid, buttonholed over, and the centers are filled in with various lace stitches. Kornau embroidery .'ii heavy satin dttck is also used. The designs are outlined in buttonhole stitch over corl: the -enlers are tilled in wit It long stitcii. intrla'l effectively in some portions el the i tat tern. For "netting" very few and simple implements are required. They consist of netting needles ami meshes of various siz'.s. They are made f steel for line work and of ivory, bono or boxwood for larger, coarser work. Split outline stitch is used for uillininir very tine designs. It is the same as ordinary outline stitch, except that the neeille is brought up through instead of at one side of the thread f the preceding stitch, thus making the outline liner and more even. Many new tea cloths and center cloths are finished with hemstitched borders, and are decorate I with the lish net stitch. The outlining may be done with silk or with -ord covered with, or rather caught lown by. buttonhole stitch. Fish net work done in colors is very a 1 tractive. Outline stitch is the fundamental stitch of Kensington n edle work, which still continues popular. It is used on much of the embroidery of the day. It is used for wtrking designs in outline, either flowers, figures-or pictures, in th latter bing sometimes called sketch cmbrohlory. nail r.ow it. Curried Sitrl 1 : Tor it I.:it l.iinoli.
