TIE late Mrs Gen. Hooker, then
Miss Groesbeck Of Cincinnati. was
once at an evening party in that city,
when young dandy was asked If he
would like to be presented to her.

her out" The lady overheard the re.

boot to collar. The survey finished.
she waved her hand carelessly and said
"Frot him back; I have seen all there
is of him."

CHAPTER XVII.

Helen sat in the library, idling over 8. novel
which she had taken up to while away the
time, and which she found too dull to read
She had received, that morning, a long letter
from Madame Preville, with whom she kept
up constant correspondence, and it carried
her thoughts, forcibly and yearningly, back
to the dear old French home, and the peace
fuI, unworldly atmosphere there, so different
from the round of gayety and fashion and
excitement in which she had been living ever
since she had left it, She was kept in con-
tinual whirl in her present home. Almost ev-
cry hour of her afternoons and evenings was
filled up by some engagement, either for visit
ing, receiving company, riding, driving, or
going to parties or places of public amuse.

THE NUISANCE OF POCKETS.
THE REPUTATION OF MISSISSIPPI, PENNsYL-
...... vANIA AND OTHER STATES.

What nuisance are pockets. How rap
idly they gil up with everything man does
not want. How they always do not contain
anything he does want How rarely can he
find dollar in them. How frequently can
he find bills in them. And lint. And crumbs
of tobacco, plug and 6ne-cut. And shreds of
cigars. And little pills. And newspaper
scraps. And suspender buttons. And holes.
And cloth buttons. That is the queerest of
all queer things for man to carry around in
his pockets, and yet, 1 suppose if all the pock-
cts in America were emptied this moment,
you could tally the number of suits represent
ed BY the number of cloth buttons to be found
in the pile. A man will pick up a button
that bursts from his coat, examine it careful
", see that the stufing thereof has all been
pulled out of the place where the eye ought
to be, will know that it is not, and never will
be worth continental red cent again, and he
will put it in his pocket and carry it until
that suit wears out and he gets trusted for
new pair Of clothes. ..".
I once had suit made (this was centuries
ago, when the times were good and everybody
had credit) that had thirteen pockets. The
day after put it on, every pocket was so full
of things 1 never had any use for, was
weighed down and doubled over like an old
man. As the things wore out or were lost,
(there wasn't a unit in the entire mass that
anybody would steaD, I replaced them with
new things, generally heavier, bulkier and
more utterly worthless By and by the pock-
cts, not being made for eternity, began to wear
out. When some of the pockets gave way,
and their precious cargoes fell to the ground,
I saw none of them again forever. When
others of the pockets wore out, the things
went down into my boots, and l went limping
and clanking around like manacled felon.
Then I reformed. I had suit made that
contained absolutely no pockets. And that
was worse than the other. Istill accumula-
ted the same amount of manly trash, and had
not wherein to warehouse the same. I car
ried letters in my hat like an old man. 1
was compelled to lay borrowed pocket knives
out on the desk in plain view. and their long
forgotten owners would come in, recognize the
whiting things, and reclaim them. | laid
my creditors letters down for other people to
pick up and read and chuckle over. l had
to carry all my money in my hands, and how
does man look, I'd like to know, going about
the streets with nickel in each hand? 1t
isn't digni6ed, and it isn't safe. To be sure,
this happened on pay day, but even once a
month is too often for such reckless display.
So what are we to do ?-The Hawkeys Man.

don, without toll being taken from them, and
be won. He marshaled his men and asked
the tollman to count them. AS soon as the
last man had passed the turnstile and all we're

with the tollman as to the number that he
had passed. Twenty-Five, said the tollman.
I VOW it was twenty seven, asserted the other.
The dispute continued until the last man was
out of sight, when the speculator paid his
half-penny and said /: Well, after all, it is no
