"How I do pity your replied the
man, as he passed his cup with. one
hand and raked in biscuit with the
other.
Then Mrs. Magruder told q story
about a man dropping dead on the
market the day before on account OF
overeating. but the man got away with
two fried cakes and replied: t'
"Curious how some folks will make
hogs of themselves" 81
At length Mrs. Magruder wanted to
know how much longer he could stand
it; and the thin man from Dayton gave
her a reproachful glance and an
swered:

man, and his arms worked faster than
ever.
Mrs. Magruder was cornered. She
laid his money down and asked him
for the sake of her poor orphans to
move on and leave her at least one
fried cake as business foundation.
He paused with his cup held out for
the seventh time, and perhaps some
thing in her fearful look reminded
him of his poor, dead mother, for he
said:
"Well, I am only human, and I ad-
init that my heart is tender. don't
like to break off in the middle of my
breakfast, but I'll take the money and
move on for your children's sake"
!, He got up looking just as much like
lath as when he sat down, and when
he was out of sight Mrs. Magruder
turned to the desolate ruins and
groaned out:

Spring Nantes and Wraps.

For early spring wraps, when winter
ones have to be thrown aside, the man.
tilla and visite shape will be found to
be The best, as the desire is now for q
garment to wear with silk costumes,
which can be thrown aside, or used for
a carriage wrap later on cool summer
days: For this purpose inexpensive
materials are preferred; silk, sicilienne,
fine. camel's hair, and q new goods
called wooden sicilienne are among the
materials employed. The shapes are
nantes, with square tab fronts, or
dolman-shaped garments with Hum
garian sleeves. Berlin made garments
are of diagonal cloth, or of sicilienne
Imperative for richer garments; they
have plastron pieces of "pekin" goods
set in the back, or embroidered passe-
menteries rich with jet; they are edged
with ruffles of lace, or rows of crimped
fringe. Pekin goods set on in bias
bands are used for the edges of palmer
garments, or where there is no wish
for sparkling jet trimmings, and a
great deal of rich passementerie with
out jet is used with cuttings of French
lace.
The fichus which were worn last year
are seen this season, made of very
fine quality of French cashmere resem-
bling Canton Crepe in finish. These
fchus turn over at the top, and have a
row of fine embroidery on their edges.
The embroidery is sometimes in varie-
gated colors; but most generally in
black; the ges are finished with fringe.
For ladies who prefer jackets, and
for young ladies, there is a great varie-
ty of materials Just now which are
made up into English-looking jackets,
which generally have five seams in the
back and loose fronts, or are finished
like Englishmen's shooting coats with
skirts cut on the hips, and set on under
large square flap pockets. The mate
rails most used partake of the ulster
effects seen in cheviots, or they are
soft-tinished cloths in light tan shades
with camers hair effects; corduroy
cloths are also much used. The finish
throughout of these jackets is in
"tailor'' style; the edges are stitched
with rows IL stitching; the moro dressy
ones are made up in fine camers hair
cloth. Pekin satin bands in shades
corresponding with the material are
used on the pockets and cuffs, and
satin buttons; others have Brandebourg
trimmings of silk cord, like. those on
military surtouts, on the fronts and
sleeves and pockets, but generally the
heavy materials, such as cheyiots and
homespuns, have nothing but hand
some buttons in the way Of trimming;
these are of engraved pearl, with gilt
shanks, or are Unfinished gilt but
tons with fiat and highly polished sur
faces. Corduroy cloths in light shades
of gray are edged with fine cordings
of brown satin, have brown satin
facings and brown horn buttons.
The tailor finish, good-tit and ulster
effects of these jackets are their desira-
BILE points, trimmings all made unob-
trusive and subservient; they will be
useful at this season for street gar
ments, and later on for driving jackets
or as travelling wraps.-M.' r Eveniag

sEagenie and Her Son. 4

A LETTER from Olive Logan to the
Cincinnati Enquirer gives the follow
ing glimpse of the Empress Eugene
and the Prince: II went to Waterloo
Station to see the last of young Louis
Napoleon, who is off to the Cape to
have look at the Zulus. He was &C.
companied, as you know, by Eugene
as far as Southampton. It really gave
me pang to behold this once peer
less beauty, to whom was presented
in the days of her utmost splendor,
both of fortune and of fame. Her APP
pearance was 80 pathetic that it made
the tears spring to my eyes. She was
attired in a style which we ladies un-
derstand as half-mourning, and carried
in her beautifully-modeled hand a large
bouquet of early spring violets, the
chosen emblem of the Napoleonic
dynasty, and the odorous harbinger
for us all of lovely days to come anon.
Her hair is still the beautiful blonde
so inseparably connected with her
name, and this is something that puz-
zles me, unless I accept the explanac
ton which has been given by some
observers that she wears q wig. Ger
tainly there is not q thread Of gray
visible. Otherwise she has aged, i'm
deed. She looked positively haggard,
pale as o ghost, her dropping, fatigued
eyes encircled with the blue rings of
care and anxiety. Her faded appear
ance formed great contrast with that
of her son, q rosebud of q young fell
low, in the first blush Of joyous youth,
up to anything you like, you know:
and evidently just bubbling over with
pleasurable excitement IT. the thought
of going out TO the seat Of war with
members of the greatest sswells' in
the Britieh army One has only to
see these two relics of the Imperial
shipwreck to- fully understand what i
fearful sacrifice It must be to Eugene
to give up her boy, even for, the short
period Of four .n.ontks; Hhiuh ~ sup
posed to be the length of his stay
in Africa. She is the French mother
TO the very letter, quite q different be-
ing from an English or, an American
maternal parent. She has no sang roid
with him; idolatry is legible in every
glance. Since his departure her con-
dition, hear, has been really alarms
ing Tears, sobs and fainting fits have
succeeded each other almost uninter-
ruptedly, while cries of o mon fls !!

The Thin Man From Dayton.

YESTERDAY morning, soon after the
eating stands on the Central Market
had been thrown open to the NAV of
the hungry public, and while Mrs. Ma
gruder was telling q small boy that she
could hold up her hand and swear that
she never used beans in her coffee, q
stranger came along and asked if he
could get bite to eat. Mrs. Mag1uder
has been on the market for many years,
and she thinks she knows q thing or
two. She has fiattered herself that she
could tell to bite just how much a
customer could eat, and she has for
years had an undisguised contempt for
thin bodied, spare-faced men, who try
to chew their coffee and mince their
toast. -
This stranger was a little better than
six-foot shadow. His foreground
consisted of a shirt-collar and q mouth
as big as mince-pie, and the perspec-
tive revealed nothing but two hollow
eyes set below thin line of sandy eye
brows. He remarked that he had Just
arrived from Dayton, and was some
what hungry, but wanted first to in
quire how much his breakfast would
cost him, as he was rather short of
funds. e a# -.zt.-l
"Oh! Isuppose you may be able to
worry down six or seven cents worth
of provisions and a cup of Coffee" she
replied. fresT s...s ..T
"Suppose you say twenty-five cents
for all want to eat2'' he said, as the
corners of his eyes began to twitch.
Mrs. Magruder looked him over and
mentally calculated that she would
make just thirteen cents by the bargain,
and she replied:
II must have my money in advance,
you know"
"Oh, certainly-here it is. Now,
then, I'm to eat my fill for the quar-
terp'
She said that was the understanding.
and winked at the woman in the next
stall. The thin man from Dayton
doubled up on stool, opened his
mouth, and fried sausage went out of
sight 30 quickly that the last end seemed
to smoke. A fried cake followed, then
second, sausage, and after q gulp or
two the man handed out his cup with
the words: ifisI {} .EfNE
"That tastes like real coffee gimme
some more" Eolf
While she was filing the cup he got
away with two hot biscuits and slice
of beef, and the coffee came Just in
time to wash down q hunk of mince
pie. He could use both arms and his
mouth at once, and he attended strict
~ to business. When Mrs. Magruder
had filled the third cup her smile had
quite vanished. She saw that she
wouldn't come out even without resort
ing to strategy. and she began asking
questions. The man answered none Of
them except by q mournful shake Of
the head. Crash! crash! went his
jaws. and he reached out from the
shoulder like clock work. Mrs. Ma
gruder called his attention to a dop
fight across the way, but he ate faster
than ever. The bell struck nine and
size remarked that big confiaeration
was raging at the Union Depot, but the
man did not raise his eyes. saof
When Mrs. Magruder discovered that
she was at least six shillings behind
she said that she was "a poor widow
with five children tc support"
