The young merchant was leaning with a
weary, halfdejected sort of expression, over
his dssk, about which were scattered bills,
letters in almost endless confusion Some
thing had gone wrong. His clerks knew
this when he came into the store that morn
ing, so gloomy and reticent SO thoroughly
unlike his usual brisk, energetic, jovial man
ncr that carried sunshine into the dark ware
rooms Even the porter felt something of
this, for he stood at respectful distance
from his employer, and did mt indulge in any
Of his old and stale jokes.
suddenly the merchant looked up, and saw
his wife making her way through the store,
straight to his desk.
How pretty she looked that morning, in
the little, tasteful hat, with its crimson trim
mings about her cheeks, that were SO charm
ingly becoming, and that half smile dimpling
the rosy, small mouth, that he could hardly
believe had said such very unkind things to
him only a few hours before
Now Harry Leeds was very proud Of his
wife, and of the evident admiration which
her occasional advent at the store always ex-
| cited. He Immediately rose up to meet her
the surprise in his face half chasing the
clouds therefrom
She came close to him
Harry" whispered the soft, eager, timid
voice, 'l'm SO very sorry said those cross
things to you this morning. was greatly
! to blame and they We made me unhappy ever
since, SO have come down here to make up
and hear you say once more that you love
me-
The cloud was all gone There was u
world of fond tenderness that looked down
from those dark eyes on the lady.
"Whv bless you, Adelaide! you have not
come clear off here for that? l was more
to blame than you, great deal, but some
business matters were troubling me, and

That smile, that glance, would have salts

"She is jewel, any how" murmured Har-
ry Leeds to himself after she had left, as he
| arranged his disordered desk with a face as
changed and bright as the sky outside, for
the sun had suddenly plunged through the
| clouds. "lfwe have pretty good sales this

CHOOSING PRINTED PAPER FOR Walls
Most persons when they 60 into store to
purchase paper for the walls of their houses,
are never satisfied unless they overhaul a
great number of patterns Their object is
to select the prettiest style they can find
the best among the lot-and this course, in
ordinary business. has common sense ap.
pearance about it. But rule of conduct,
excellent and correct in the pursuit of one
object may be totally wrong in following af.
ter that Of another, and this is the case in ex-
aiming great number of samples Of print
ed paper at once. Many are so liable to get
bewildered when great variety of patterns
are passed before them, that they frequently
choose the poorest design OF the lot This is
not surprising; indeed, it is in exact accord
ance with the laws OF vision. 1t has been
conclusively shown BY NJ Chevreul, the dis
tinguished chemist in Paris, that the eye, in
looking at color after color, is gradually un-
dergoing change, so that the character of
each color is altered in short, the color is
vitiated. An analogous result is unquestion-
ably produced in the form of the patterns,
as well as in their colors and proportions
The best way to select good and agreeable
patterns of paper, therefore, is to examine
only few at once-Scientihc American
