On High Bridge car the other day
the passengers were afforded an OPP
portunity of looking upon picture of
expenditure without taste, in contrast
with one of taste with little outlay of
money. A lady entered the car who
had manifestly fallen a victim to the
crushed strawberry fever, strawber-
ry satin dress of very rich quality
tightly encasing her portly form. She
carried a feverish-looking parasol.
from beneath whose folds slinted
flashes of gold as bright as the sm.s
rays which streemed in through the
half-opened windows. A strawberry
hat, with strawberry plumeS, capped
the ruddy climax, and all in keeping
with the fece of the painting, perspir-
ing lady, which was aglow with
tierceness of color of which crushed
strawberry gives but the faintest in
timation. The glowing attire rnd the
evident discomfort of the ribicund
wearer had its natural sympathetic
effect upon her fellow passengers. The
car soon grew hotter and hue of
strawberry seemed to prevade the
scene, the countenence of the lady
gradually lapsed into an almost alarm
ing tint OF terra Gotta
Presently the car door opened and
two ladies, carrying tiny lunch bask
cts, came in, who were evidently on
little pleasure trip for the day AT
sight of these two there was at once
noticeable change in the temperature
of the car and an expression of relief
and pleasure seemed to light up every
countenance. One of the ladies, the
younger of the two, wore crisp, fresh
/ French lawn of white, dotted with
small, pale mauve flowers. Over her
shoulders was dainty little shoulder
cape of the same, edged with lace and
fastened in front with knot of violet
ribbons, matching those which held
the simple but exceedingly graceful
drapings of her skirt. Upon her head
she Wore a broad brimmed hat, trim
med with lace and a small cluster of
violets. Her hands We're encased in a
pair of trim-fitting white Isle thread
gloves, and she carried Il paraSol of
plain white pongee. The other lady
wore dress of pales nuns gray linen,
braided in white. Her gypsy hat was
of grey straw, trimmed with gray
lace and cluster of pink crushed
roses. Gray gloves and a gray pongee
parasol, lined with pink, completed
this plain but most tasteful dress
Thirty dollars would cover the entire
expense of the combined toilets of
these two-a sum which number one
possibly gave for her strawberry bon
net or the making of her costly dress

The Mystery of Gambetta's Death.

A Paris letter says: Shell we never

eminent a man should have been
assassinated and the assassin go scot
free of punishment. | translate with

Der. Overwhelmed with despair by the
tragical catastrophe shequitted France
and made Ostend her home, though it
is gloomy desert in winter. She lived
there with kinswoman. She daily
poisoned herself by injections of NOR
phine. One day she read in the public
that tanner had somewhere in Italy
been devoured by his lions. The next
day she came to Brussels and asked
Bidel to let her go with him into the
lions den. Who knows whether her
secret hope was not to meet death in
this audacious, despairing scheme !
The lions did her no harm. 1t was be
lieved she had returned to her solitude
in Ostend, when all of a sudden her
death was announced. Her physicians
declare that her death was caused by
galloping consumption. In conformity

At times a thrill went through him,
for it seemed as if he could hear low
suppressed breathing not far away;
he persuaded himself that it was the
wind blowing through the crevices of
the old house. Still it was very lone
ly and not at all cheerful.
The face in the coffin cleaned white
still. The rats squeked as if there was
famine upon them and they smelled
the dead flesh. The thought made
him shudder He got up and walked
about, but something made a noise
behind him, and he put his chair with
its back against the wall and sat down
again. He had been at work all day,
and at last grew sleepy. Finally he
nodded and snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if somebody
had touched him. He awoke with
start, and saw nobody near, thoughin
the centre of the room stood white
figure.
Curse you, get out of this he ex
claimed in a fright, using the first
words that came to his tongue.
The figure held out its, right arm
and slowly approached him. He start-
ed to his feet. The spectre came near
er. pressing him into the corner.

ney in his extremity.
Involuntarily he stepped back; still
the figure advanced, coming nearer
and nearer as if to take him in ghost
ly embrace. The hair started up on
Barney's head; he grew desperate and
Just as the cleaning arm would have
touched him, he fell on the ghost like
a whirlwind, tearing the sheet, thump-

more and more enraged at the resist

truth.

Looking around they saw the corpse
sitting up in his coffin. This was too
much. They released each other and
sprang for the door. They never
knew how they got out; but they ran
home i'll hot haste, painting like stays.

and opened the door the next morn
