Who knows what longing-what regret

Who knows the loneliness of life.

Who knows the unavailing strife

AS proof that this is a country OF

a correspondent relates that he saw
beautiful woman of thirty-five come out
of store. She was tall, 1.-the, grace
full, with the face and bearing of an
ideal duchess. Her costume was of
the richest and least snowy materials.
Her whole aspect proved her possession
of refined taste. She got into a car

their nurse-a coarse-featured woman
of middle age, wearing the prescribed
cap and apron of her employment.
take a good look at that establish
ment," said the writer's companion;
''the young lady came to this country
about twelve years ago. She was poor
and friendless. She got employment
at homework, and then was made a
nursemaid. She soon made up her
mind that she could get living at
making the kind of infants clothes
that her duties familiarized her with.
She began by getting work in shop,
but in year had tlourishing business
of her own. She married man for
love alone, but he also proved good
business partner, too. Together they
built up a big trade, and now are very
wealthy. 1t was her own carriage you
saw her in. The strange fact about the
establishment, however, was that the
nurse you saw was the mistress first

impoverishment has reduced her to the

Virginia Enterprise. !

In the midst Of shower Of mingled hail
and rain, about Q Il O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, there was visible for minute or two a
segment Of rainbow that lacked the usual
prismatic colors. It was belt OF pure white
circling across the misty curtain Of falling
pellets Of snow and raindrops. In France
some months ago the papers had much TO
say about white rainb bow seen in that country.
II was spoken Of as a thing unprecedented.
Twice within the past twelve months the
phenomenon has been visible from this city.
In neither case, however. was the bow
complete semicIrcle. The white rainbow Is
by no means an uncommon thing in noun
famous regions, or. rather, in such regions
the opportunities for seeing the phenomenon
are much better than In valley regions, the
observers occupying elevations from which
they may see storms and mists in deep val
leys and gorges far below. them, and also
NAV see the effect Of even meridian sun up
on such passing showers and rolling vapors,
whereas in level region the effect would be
below the horizon and invisible TO the in
hsbitsnts.
