THE MYSTERIOUS HOUSE.
In Three Chapters.
CHAPTER 1.


Large and roomy; well-furnished
good garden; healthy neighborhood
within easy reach Of railway station
good boys school near; not far from
London; cheap" Thus, with some
thing more than a suspicion Of scorn
in her voice, my sister Margaret ran
off on her fingers the list OF my re
quirements for house.
I had lust returned from India with
my six children, and | was anxious to
settle them comfortably before their
fathers return.
"You want every comfort" contin-
ued my sister, land you don't want to
paw for every comfort. ] believe you
Anglo-Indians think we live upon
nothing in England" "
Her husband came III as she spoke.
Turning to him, she ran over again,
with a Slight exaggeration and deep
er infusion Of contempt, the catalogue
given above.
oracularly; 'but it might be done. ]
have it!' said he, turning to his wife
what? The right house! Then
you are cleverer than / thought you. >
"Do you remember the story Will
Jams told us yesterday"
"Now. James" said my sister, ris-
ing to her feet, and looking at her
husband severely, IF you advise
Eleanor to take that house, you do it
on your own responsibility. | wash
my hands of it.
i'Sit down again, Margaret" " he said.
''Be reasonable, my dear. Is there any
sufficient reason why Eleanor should
not take that house?"
''There is one very good reason-she
will have to do the housework herself.
No servant will stay week"
''She has an Indian servant, at any
rate, who must stand by her"
"But think OF herself, of her feel
ings. You smile, James. 0 yes; [
know you think me absurd. Very
likely [ am absurd; but remember this
there's no smoke without some fire.
Besides, I knew the last tenants.
Mrs. Green is not an idiot. She told
me -
sStay a moment" said my brother
in-law, and he addressed himself to
ME. Eleanor, tell me the trnth: are
you believer. IN ghosts?"
Does this mean that the eligible
house is haunted?" exclaimed, much
stimulated by what I had heard. IF
so, I will take it at once. Write to
the agent for me, james"
II do believe you are all going mad, >
said my worthy sister, holding up her
hands in horror James, yon are a
sensible man. You know things
ought not to be done in a hurry. Ell
eanor, listen to what I heard from the
last tenant. She told me with her
own lips; it is none Of your second
hand stories
mo, I interrupted; don't tell me.
If there is ghost it will show itself
If there is not, | might be set think
ing of your story, and might imagine
it: or at least st''-correcting myself
Il might be betrayed into telling
somebody else. Somebody else might
imagine it.

THE LITTLE SHOE.

Laughing, and humming an idle air.
l threw the drawers contents aside;
Trilies of old days scattered there.
And papers in haste united.
Struck, a S il were, by random shot,
felt an old wound bleed anew;
Carelessly seeking know not what,
came on a little shoe.
Memory flashed on me: sadly sweet
Rang out the merry laugh ofyore;
Echoed the beat of those tiny feet
That battered along the floor.
Chubby round face, so demure and wise,
Shone out with brow and angel fair;
Dreamy rejection of hare-bell eyes,
And halo of golden hair.
Pet names, and jokes of her infant play,
Struck on the heart with sudden blow;
Life in the morn of one dreadful day,
And death ere the sun is low
Poor little relic! brief hour of sportl
What shame to me, if tears will fall
Springtime of babyhood- oh, how short,
This poor little shoe-how small.

Dressing for a Photograph.
Something that VIII Inter est Every bod v.
THE Capital

Something that VIII Interest Every body.
1.-THE Capital
''The question is often asked, )" said an ex-
perienced photographer, why actors and &C
tresses take the most pleasing pictures. 1t is
because they study the principles of art and
good taste in their profession, and under
stand how to dress. Moreover, they usually
bring a selection of wells, flowers, curls,
braids, laces, and sometimes costumes, to
give the photographer a choice of accesso-
ries. They come when they are wholly at
leisure, and are not fiustered. A red face
takes black, and they know it. Then they
do not load themselves down with gewgaws
and haberdasheries, to show all that they
have got in worldly goods. Few persons
know how to dress for a picture like an ac-
tress. The best materials for ladies to wear
when about to sit for photograph are such
as will fold or drape nicely, like reps, win
ceys, poplins, satins and silks. Lavender,
lilac, blue, purple and French blue take
very light, and are worse for picture than
pure white. Corn color and salmon are bet
ter. China pink, rose pink, dark purple,
pure yellow, Mazarine blue, navy blue,
fawn color, Quaker color, dove color,
ashes of roses and stone color show pretty
gray in the photograph. Scarlet. claret, gar
net, sea green, light orange, leather color,
light Bismarck, and slate color take still
darker, and are excellent colors to photo
graph. NAcHIy, WHO COIOE, uRnG apple
green, Metternich green, dark apple
green, bottle green, dark orange, gol-
den and red brown, show nearly the
same agreeable color in the picture. A
black silk always looks WELL and it takes well
if not bedecked with ribbons and laces that
will take white. Dark Bismarck and snuff
brown usually take blacker than a black silk
or satin, and are not easy to drape A silk
because it has more gloss and reflects more
light, usually, takes lighter than wooden
dress. Ladies with dark or brown hair should
avoid contrasts in their costumes, as light
substances photograph more quickly than
dark. and ladies with light hair should dress
in something lighter than those whose
hair is dark or brown. Few ladies under
stand how to arrange their hair SO as to har-
monte with the form of the head, but blind
ly follow the fashion, be the neck long or short
or the face narrow or broad. A broad face
appears more so if the hair is arranged low
over the forehead or is parted at the side, and
a long neck becomes stork-ike when the hair
is built up high, while few curls would
make a most agreeable change in the effect.
Powdered hair gives good effect, and powder
| should be bestowed upon freckles."
