the old gentleman interrupted him
"There's no need of any explana-
tion, my boy" said he. l know now
why you didn't want to marry Miss
Bradbury. And I don't say that ]
blame you much; only that 1 came
near choking to death on UrsuIa's
blackberry jam"
And DR.. Darling laughed again,
until, had his spouse been present,
she would have thought q second
attack of apoplexy among the iney-
tables.
"Little Ursula!" he added, "WhO
would have thought it? Well, you
shall have my blessing"
The pearls were all discolored, and
the gold Of the old-fashioned brooch
tarnished with the alchemy of cook
ing; but Ursula keeps that old or
nament yet, more tenderly treasured
than all the modern knick-knacks
with which her young husband loads
her toilet table. And every year,
when she preserves blackberries, DR..
Darling comes to tea and makes
ponderous witticisms, pretending to
search in the crystal preserve dish
for "boiled brooch!"
But then the jolly old gentlemen
will have their jokes.

Dom Piatt, describing a visit to q
cosmetic establishment, says:
"What," we asked, ''are the arti-
cles that go to make the beautiful
women2"
"Well, first of all is our vegetable
enamel, perfectly harmless, thatgiVes
the most delicate white-I may say,
neutrality-suspicious. known to the
female" "See," he continued,
taking q china pot from the counter,
"this is put on easily with q small
sponge. Permit me, madam; it is
soon removed and leaves no trace"
and saying this he applied small
quantity to the forehead of our com
panion.
The result on the face of clear
brunette was startling. The marble
smothness, and at the same time the
satiny texture if we may use such
an expression, was marvellous. Then
he took another sponge and applied
a most beautiful blush, a rose color,
upon the white, that was perfectly
charming in its natural and soft
flush.
"And now," he went on, "here is
an exquisite instrument with which
we trace the delicate veins that,
when done, defy the microscope of
science"
"But how is it possible to make
the new face and older shoulders
mateh?"
."By making all new. The face,
neck, shoulders and arms have to be
treated all alike"
"And does this artificial process
end heref" we asked.
"Oh, not at all; we are only just
beginning. The eyelashes and eyes
have to be treated. The eyebrows
receive special attention. We can
not illustrate with you, madam; na-
ture has done so much"
He might well say this, for it is
only once in O million such beautl-
full eyes, eyelashes and brows are
given a woman. He called to a
young lady ofthe establishment and
said, "Miss Blank, will you permit
me?"
She pleasantly assented, and tax
ing a small ivory tablet he placed it
under the eyelashes Of one eye, and
then touching them dextrously and
at the same time with the most deli
cate art, he made the lashes so de-
cided, so pronounced, tEey seemed
actually to grow. He then penciled
the brow, and when done the effect
was most decided. The young lady
was a blonde, and with one eye
treated and the other not treated the
result was very decided.
"Certainly this is ALL" we said.
"Not at all. We give a delicate
tint to the ear, rosy, steel color to
the nails. We leave nothing uncared
for that goes to make perfection oi
beautiful woman"
"And are these things in general
use?'
Certainly; you can not find {
brilliant complexion that has mo-
been made so by art. We read Will
great pleasure Of the beautiful womeI
of the fashionable circles of Wash
ington and the summer resorts, 70.
We know where they come from"
