THE REFINEMENT OF MATCH
MAKING.


From Chambers' Journal.
A Partisan journal some time ago recorded
an exceedingly clever bit OF match making
executed by an American lady OF this order
In brilliant style. Her eldest daughter had
sailed from New York with some friends fos
tour Of Europe. and after "doing" the con.
tinent, had returned to the French capital fof
severs. months Of rest and pleasuring. AZ.
tractive and clever, she had many suitors,
some more, some less desirable She could
not marry them all, so she adroltly reduced
the number to two-the best of the loc. of
course. Then she wrote home to her mamma
explaining the exact situation Of affairs, adding
that they were both so handsome. agreeable.
weu-connected and rich. that she could not de-
eide between them, and closed with the cues
ton, what shall dor" Ten DAYS later she re-
ceived Q cabegram from mamma: II sail to-
morrow; hold both till come" The next
TRANSATLANTIC steamer brought Mrs. Blank with
her second daughter. Just turned eighteen, and
fresh from school On her arrival the old lady
at once took the helm OF affairs, and steered 20
deity through the dangerous waters that I'm
few weeks she had reached port with oil colors
flying. To drop metaphor, she attended the
wedding OF her two daughters at the American
chapel on the same morning. After due exami-
nation she had decided that neither Of the nice
fellows should go out Of the family.
Here Is an illustration Of q much less stullful
attempt at matchmaking. With very different
de7loue7neTlt. certain member of Parliament
who owned extensive estates, was spending Q
few days at the residence OF q noble family.
There were several interesting and Accomplished
young ladies In the family to whom the honor
able member showed every attention. Just an
he was about to take leave the nobleman's wife
proceeded TO consult him upon q matter which,
she declared, was causing her no little distress

are to marry my daughter Lucy, and what shall
We doI What shall We say about it?- ''Oh,"
replied the considerate MP, with much adroit-
mesa, lust say she refused me-"

vESTMENTS IN STOCKS

NEW YORK, June 21.-The Posts financial article
says: The stock market was feverish and weak
