EYES FOR BLEMlSH AND BEAUTY
By +. S. ARTHUR.

"1'll buy that for my wife, said Nj.
Dixon, as he stood before the window
of a priht-seller, admiring copy of
Fnd's celebrated picture of "Evange-
line"ea s3aHs sl'@ esstoa e5@.a a
So, acting Oh the moments impulse,
he went in and made the purchase
His first intention was to send the pic
ture home without framing, but, being
in the desire to give, her pleasure, he
took a second thcught,A 1t, would look
so much finer in handsome frame.
..How much will it cost" he asked.
The cost to Mr.. Dixon, wasa thing al
ways to be considered, for his income
was not large and lie was obliged to prac7
tice economy in his expenditures.
"That will depend on the Style" was
a1sweled by the print seller, and he
showed Mr. Dixon variety of guilt
mouldings. fTs5 J {T II
"This will cost seven dollars"
Mr.. Dixon shook his head, remarking:
The picture was only five"
Now, in spending five dollars for a
picture, Mr.. Dixon lad let superfuity
encroach on necessity; but then it was
for his wife, and he would do almost
anything to give her pleasule-not all
ways, it may be said an easy task. for
Mrs. Dixon was hardly the wsest or
best tempered woman in the world. To
add seven dollars for frame would be
an extravaganza, for man in his cir
cumstances, not justified in the pre- m is
es. So he added:
"You may, send the picture home
without framing" a91o T 81
But the dealer wished, very naturally,
to get another profit.
1--WE have cheaper frames" he said.
"This, for instance, will be very appro'
priate, 80 hl.s - cssN3t Fse ~ 70

And he'took up an inch moulding
aud laid it-against ths picture. -
Mr.. Dixon shook bis head. SOFT Al
"The engraving is too handsome for
that. Such frame would spoil it,"

nifty for reflection. "My intention was
good. meant to give you pleasure"
The words repeated themselves in her
memory over and over again. aa a
On returning, Mr.. Dixon made no re-
mark. and his wife kept silence She was
far from being satisfied with herself, but
she was not one of those who are apt to
confess error. Pride was too strong an
element in her character. gt tat
The evening passed without further
reference to "Evangeline" on either side.
The next morning, as Mr.. Dixon was
about going away. he said: al
II will see Mr. Bird, the print.seller, =
about that picture. He will send for it,"
During the afternoon a boy called for
the picture, and took it away. Days
passed, but it was not sent home again.
Mr.. Dixon said nothing about it, and his
wife did not venture to ask any ques-
tionsr on the subject. uaa
About month aftorward, while visit
ing friend, Mrs. Dixon noticed pic
ture of "Evangeline" in the patlor. IL
looked very familiar. She was standing
before it when her friend came down.
"a present from my husband" said
the lady. 'Isn't tcharming? He took
me by surprise yesterday. was SO
pleased" maiia
She paused, but Mrs. Dixon did not
answer; she had already recognized pic
.ure and frame. 6st sga
"There's story about it, continued
the friend, "Mr. Bird sold it to a gentle
man who wished to make present to his
wife; but some defect in the frame pre-
vented her from enjoying the picture,
and it was sent back to be resold. My
husband bought it just as it was, and l
find beauty where another saw blemish.
I'm sorry for the lady's husband. lie
must be a kind and thoughtful man, and
deserves a more appreciatiye wife. Sup.
pose hadn't fancied the frame, do you
think / would mar my husbands pleas
IRE, or hurt his good will to me, by
pointing it out, or rlettingit shadow my
delight? His thoughtful love expressed
in this gift itself, that would make even
homeliness beautiful in my eyes. I DON'T

their wives" Is Il .sy M eq
Mrs. Dixon turned away from the pic.
ture with checked feeling. Whateoul
she answer? Nothing Her call was
brief. A new revelation had come to
her, and she fastened home to con it
over in her thoughts. Ii " ESQ
II don't wonder that some men grow
cold toward their wives" She could
not forget this sentence. Mr.. Dixon was
growing oold-she bad felt this painfully
