Croquet Mallets and Balls.

A clerk in q New York store for the
supply of sporting goods says croquet
is by no means dead. 1t is changing
and becoming better game. The in
terest in it is active at many points
through the country. The head of the
new-style mallet is as long as the han
die, if not a little longer. The head
made of lignum vitae, bound at either
end with strip of brass an inch wide.
On the ends, and held in place by the
brass rims, are two leather disks, each
about one-sixteenth of an inch thick.
1t is asserted that they act on the end
of croquet mallet exactly as the tip
does on billiard cue. The head of
the mallet is about two inches in diam
eter and foot and half long. The
handle is of lighter wood than the
head. To play with it one would have
to stoop over very much. But this, it
is said, is the accustomed attitude of
expert croquet-players. They stand
with the toes of their feet in q line with
the shot they wish to make, and then
lean over, resting the left hand upon
the left knee. They are then directly
over the ball and swing the mallet ac-
curately in line. Their playing is very
much like that of an expert billiardist,
and they indulge in split shots and car
oms, and send their balls whirling
through the air in manner that would
amaze old-fashioned croquet-players.
The latest croquet balls are made of
solid rubber, and cost 81 apiece. Next
in order are lockwood balls, which are
sold at rs cents apiece. There is very
little springiness in the rubber ball, and
it is almost as heavy as the wooden
one. 1t is averred that more difficult
and accurate playing can be done with
the rubber balls than with any other
kind.

For spring has come at last, and Leslie

Changed, but not less beautiful, if the
youthful bloom is wanting, deeper,

TO Maurice she is more beautiful than
in the days of her youth. He misses no
old grace and feels each added charm.
They have seen much of each other in
these past weeks. AS her physician he
came often, and friendly relation
seemed springing up between them.
But of late Leslie had been colder, more
reserved, and he had taken it that she
saw his love for her and resented it. So
he came less often, and his calls We're
brief and professional. He little knew
that Leslie shrank from him as the
future husband of her friend, for she

thought that Maurice and Helen loved
each other. The two women had be-
come warm friends, and when Leslie
grew better and began to talk of going
away, Helen pleaded so hard for her
to stay with her that at last she con-
sented. After all, what was there to
call her away? Her father and mother
were dead, and by her sickness she had
lost the position she was on her way to
fill when the accident happened. Alone
in the world, and with but little left of
her fathers ruined estate, she had only
brave determined spirit with which to
fight life's battles. Her sensitive soul
shrank from the conflict, and for awhile
she was glad to rest.
But as spring faded into summer a
strong unrest took possession of her,
and Helen saw that she was no longer
content with the generosity ofan un-
selfish nature Helen had bravely put
her own pain aside and rejoiced in the
thought that the two she loved would
be happy together, but as time passed
she saw the GOODNESS growing up be-
tween them, and with her woman's in
stinct OWNED the cause. A last sacri-
flee was demanded at her hands.
"Leslie," she said one night as they
sat together in the moonlight. Leslie,
have you ever loved?"
A great flush swept over cheek and
brow, but Leslie made no answer. "For-
give me, DEAR" said Helen tenderly.
II did not mean to pain you"
Leslie lifted her dark earnest eyes to
her friends face. eyes," she said in a
low tone, "but my pride came between
u.s." "And do you love him still?"
The words were spoken low, but the
suppressed eagerness in the sweet voice
told of strong feeling.
EYES," answered Leslie again, "but
he loves another. Do not speak of it
again, dear Helen!"
A silence fell upon them. Outside
the crickets chirped, and the leaves
rustled in the evening breeze. Busy
with their own thoughts, they did not
hear the opening of the door till Maurice
Henderson stood before them. Then
Helen rose quietly, CDR. Henderson,"
she said, "there is some mistake here.
Tell Leslie whom it is you love-" She
went out then and left them together,
but she saw Maurice turn towards Les
lie in the moonlight. "What shall I
say to you," he cried, Leslie! Lesliew
He stretched out his arms to her inn
ploringly, and she went to him without
q word.
That was years ago. No happier peo-
pie are to be found in all the city than
Maurice and Leslie Henderson. They
have two lovely children, boy and
girl The little girls name is "Helen."
And Helen? There is not one note
silent in the harmony of her life? Per-
feet happiness comes to few. She lives
in her boy, tall handsome youth who
worships his mother.
Mother" he says one day, II don't
believe there is another woman in the
world so good as you!'

asks playfully.

face flushed a little, mo, not even
