A CURE FOR LOVE.
A True Chapter from a Chicago
Girls Experience.
[From the Chicago MALL


A young lady Of this city has, with
in the last few weeks passed through
an experience which she is not likely
to forget, as judge would say, "for
the term of her material life"
A month ago she was terribly-des-
perately-in love-to-day she despses
-loathes-the late object of her aflec-
tions.
And it was because of no fault of
his (poor fellow that the affections of
Julia so suddenly changed. 1t all
came about III most remarkable
manner, and it is for the edifcation of
parents and guardians that we give
space to the following account. The
father of Julia did the business, but
he did it so adroitly and so charming
ly that we bid all parents, similarly
situated to go and do likewise.
Tbs father is a member of the Board
of Trade, and keeps carriage, and
boasts a coachman. The coachman
is an H'inglishman, fair sample of
the honest but uncultivated individ-
uals who are ranked in Englanl as
"the lower borders" The mans name
was John, and it was with John that
the unhappy Julia was in love. 1t was
not because he was a coachman that
Julia loved him. 1t was not for his
good looks. 1t was not for his accom-.
plishments. 1t was because he was
mana biped walking on two legs
and because he was the first young
member of the male species with whom
Julia came in contact on her return
from Catholic school, in which she
had received her education.
The routine of the school had been
wearisome the avenues which lead to
sentiment had been close guarded, and
the idea of anything like romance
carefully excluded. No wonder that
on her return she flew delightedly in
to the first indiscretion that presented
itself to her view. The only indiscre-
ton was John and John was selected
1t was SO romantic, SO delightful, SO
sweet
When Jon was informed Of the
state of affairs, when he was told by
Julia that he was her affinity, that shs
yearned for HIM, he giggled, blushed
and said "he'd be blessed now if il
'warn't as good as H'inglsh play >
and ended in yearning in return, and
calling Julia his affinity.
Poor fellow, you should not blame
him you know-well some of you &c
know how it is yourselves.
Stolen interviews, stolen kisses, etc.
etc, ETC., followed, and then them they
took to writing letters. Poor devils
One Of Johns epistles stained will
tears was found under Julia's pillow
and the murder was out.
The chambermaid found the letter
She read it and blushed. Then sh,
wondered what she had better do will
, it. Then she remembered that sh,
he' self had hoped to win John, anC
then she took it to her mistress Mrs
-, who read it and reread it, theI
she cried and told her husband.
| That highly respectable member o
the Board of Trade was shocked. H,
was indignant; he would turn her ou
of the house no, he wouldn't; h,
would lock her in her room; no h,
wouldn't; he would send her to a nun
merry; no he wouldn't, he would, he'C
do something. And he did.
He called Julia into the library ant
told her that he knew of her engage
ment to John. Did she know the con
sequences? She would have to turl
washerwoman, for John could not sup
port her, and he certainly would not
Julia was heroic. 1t was so romantic
you know, and Julia expressed hersel
ready for any emergency.
Every well my dear. when do yor
intend to get married?" Julia didn'
know, but hoped (John would hav
said 'oped) that it would be soon
"The sooner the better my dear, bu
as you can't well go the stable to Sc
Jnha, and as it is necessary that vol
should be thrown into his society am

him to dinner to-day" This was put
ting new phase on the matter. !
