A Romantic Love Story,

The Count de st. Croix, belonging
to one of the noblest and wealthiest
families in France, became engaged,
after long courtship, to lady his
equal in position and fortune, and
famous for her beauty. Shortly after
the happy day was appointed which
was to render two loving hearts one,
the Count vas ordered Immediately to
the siege of Sevastopol so he girded

regiment, he marched to the battle
field. During the Counts absence ii

tween life and death, she recovered,
but found her beauty hopelessly lost
The disease had assumed, in her case,

A Small Sin Among Women

a1uSAS W OnOAt
One of our small sin is our small
jealousy of each other. It's Wrong
to say that women cannot be friends
together we can-true, firm, en-
during friends; but we doubt if any
youngwoman's friendship ever exists
free from jealousy. If we are not
jealous about men we are about
women. and guard our rights against
division with the vigilance of a
house-dog guarding his domain.
No man can understand the ,,unre~
sisting pettiness of jealousy that
exists between woman-friends ; no
man knows it for his own part, and
no man would submit to it from his
friend. But We accept it patiently,
knowing where the shoe pinches
from the shape of our own feet.
As wives and lovers we are perhaps
the most exclusive and the most
Jealous women in the world. There
| is scarcely a woman IN America who
would allow her husband to admire
any other woman or to make any
other a friend or to show frank
pleasure in her society. There
would be pouting, or tears, or tan
trums, according toindividual dispO-
sition, and the whole harmony Of
the household would be swept by
the board the practical upshot of
which is that men make friends out
side their homes, unknown to their
respective Junos. This changes
the complexion of the whole affair,
and makes what would have been
friendship, fit could have been
frankly acknowledged, intrigue in
stead.
