he would owe, under Gods care, his child's
life. The doctor left the room silently,
respecting the mans sorrow and grief. He
met Maggie on the stairs, and in whisper
she told him that May was sleeping. a
glad smile lighting up the thin face, so white
after the hours of nursing and care. ''Her
father is in the reception room, and | expect
you had better step in and tell him. He
ought not to see her, however, until he is
calmer." Trembling and faint she obeyed,
though the task seemed too much for her
strength. He did not hear the soft
step nor the low voice that spoke
his name. She stood for q moment
regarding him with an earnest gaze. Was
this the gay, fashionable man she had mar
red? Was it possible that time could have
so changed him, and that it had brought into
her presence this sorrowful, worn mourner
as the husband of her youth. This agony,
was it all for May, or was memory torturing
him with her suffering when she too had
been stripped of all that made life happy?
She would gladly have touched him, have
soothed him with plying words, but she
forbore and said calmly: "Mr. Phelps,
May" He started to his feet with startled
cry, Maggie The ordeal was too much
for her, and she tottered towards him, the
out his hands to strengthen her, but so deep
was his shame and humility that he would
not presume to touch her. "Maggie, will
you forgive me? have suffered, but there
seems no atonement for my sin.
Will you forgiven" Another bolder
and less loving would have
pressed his case, but he dare not approach
her. She hesitated, as if in doubt, and then
with a glad cry of love and happiness, she
threw her arms about his neck, with the enc
word, WILL" upon her lips. 1t was like a
tempest that had spent Its force, and the
stiffness of peace succeeded the mighty
storm. Before either could speak the doctor
came in. "Miss Maggie, May is awake and
asking for you. She is much better. Prob
ably her father can go up with you"
The story is told. The severed fortunes
are united; the lives so strangely, so sadly
marred are again covered by the glow of
happiness; but the terrible deep scars are
there the wounds have healed but the
marks remain ineffaceable for all time.
There were ever to husband and wife pages
of their past that they could not read aloud,
but silently and alone the words written IN
agony were reviewed. The world sees these
broken homes and wags its gossiping tongue,
but if perchance the story be told, and hearts
are united and hands lovingly enclasped, the
critic calls it an idle romance and condemns
the tale that it ended not in bitterness.

Fresh and Simple Attire.
TAppleton's s Journal.1

lAppiclOh
One who writes in an English journal on
Clothes declares that "men do but ask to
see their mothers, sisters and sweethearts
daintily clean and fresh in all their arrange
ments and appointments, and as pleasing to
the eye as modesty and moderation will per
nit" There is something really charming
in this picture, simple as it is. "Ddintily
clean and fresh in all their arrangements" !"
We may cOncede that, for great occasions,
ladies may elaborate little on this basis;
but say for the breakfast table or for all
lightful it IS to see our woman
mood arrayed in fresh and simple attire-D
crumpled hair in reminder of last nights
elaborate coiffure, no silks or other costly
fabrics, now spoiled and dilapidated; no
formidable wrappers, loud of color and won
derful of pattern; o-twice used linen; no
slatternly shawl, that horror in untasteful
households; no touch of dishabille in the
slightest or least suggestive degree. I'm
happily this picture is much rare. There
are many women who persist in wearing
at the morning meal, and upon other
domestic occasions, old gowns, or
apparel that has been banished from the
drawing room. Now, a lady may he dressed
in more rich and costly fabrics at one time
than another, but there should be no de-
gress of neatness, of odOr, of purity, or of
freshness. The morning dress may be a
wholly inexpensive one. but a grease stain
or a rent is just as much an offense ct break
fast as at dinner. la fact, if there must be a
stain, we would rather see il on the evening
silk than the morning muslin, which should
always have the supreme sentiment
of freshness and dain;iness Many
women have little idea of how
greatly they shock the tastes and
really endanger the affections of their hus-
bands by their unseemly domestic apparel.
There is not man of sense and refined
feeling anywhere who would not prefer
some simple and chaste adornment for his
wife in the morning to any extreme splendor
means dress brilliantly on those occasions
abridge her privileges nor battle her instincts
in this particular; but we claim that IL is
important for her, if she values her house
bold serenity, that she should give
equal heed to her customary domes-
tic attire. The female who goes about
the house untidily dressed has no
right to the title Of woman. She
Is without those marks and indications by
which she can be classified. We reject the
notion that person can really be woman
who is without those dainty instincts for
sweet and pure apparel that additionally
pertain TO the feminine sex. Such an indi-
vidual has lost the characteristics, the
qualities. the refinements, the distinguishing
elements of the daughters of Eve; and, as
she has not 10y this elimination gained any
characteristics of the masculine sex she
evidently belongs tn some as yet undescribed
variety of the human family.
