A Little Contrast.

Strange people are the fashion reporters.
I met one on Kearney street the other day.
Being a woman, Of course never notice
what other women wear; 80 | merely OBJ
served cursorily that she wore o gray serge
Of the ,wo-bit variety and sadly in want OF
buttons and repair, worsted gloves, untidy
shoes and shaggy umbrella, q hat Of two
seasons ago and cloak that seemed To
have had all seasons for its own, and bore
their impress on It's shining surface. This
entitipg and costly outfit was wildly re-
CALI the next Sunday morning as ] Pc.
rused her fashion notes, from which take
an extract at random:
These goods come ct from SO to $75
per ard, though they may be had as low ~
$50; but since only eighteen yards are re.
auir, d for the suit, it is best 70 get . good
article while about it. Very good lace, OF
course not the genuine, TO accompany the
above can be had for $37 so per yard, $50
yards being quite sufficient for . lady OF
moderate size and pretensiona Tosuit the
purses of those of slender means there are
cheaper grades at from d to SO; but il 10
questionable whether . cheap lace is ever
advisable, either - matter Of taste or OF
economy" And 80 forth, ct ceters.

MIR. washburne's Predicament.

III.
Probably one OF the greatest Ministers we
ever had abroad was Washburne at Paris.
He made more Of a mark for himself in
modern times than any Minister We have
sent 20 Europe. Yet Washburne was the
hero of an incident Of social misfortune,
which would have driven any of the delicate
creatures now swarming after foreign
place 10 commit suicide. if they had been
similarly unfortunate. Washburne was one
evening at court dinner given by Napol-
con Ill. 1t was the custom at these dim
ners when the Empress arose to retire with
the ladies, for the gentlemen to rise from
their seats and step back from the table so
that she could pass down the line between
them. By this all could avoid turning
their back upon the Empress.
Washburne had very tender feet. Dur
ing the dinner his feet gave him a great
deal OF annoyance. To ease himself he had
quietly slipped off his patent leather pumps
under the table. He was absorbed in con.
versation toward the close Of the dinner, and
was caught unawares when the Empress
made the signal of departure. He was
obliged to step back without having time to
put on his pumps. He stood in his stock
ing feet, grave, dignifed and selfpossessed,
in 1.-THE row Of grinning diplomats who
stood at his right and left. He betrayed
none of the embarrassment that he must
have felt and was never heard to allade To

The other stockholders proposed to branch
out and go into the manufacture of higher
grade Of voollen goods than had previously
been turned out by the company.
"The two brothers objected strenuousls,
and the idea was apparently abandoned
. But without the knowledge Of the two broth

their pet scheme. The result was failure
With big debts Under the laws Of Vermont,
all the stockholders Of company that fails
are held responsible proportionstely for its
liabilities. The two brothers were sued for
$4,000. Judgment was given against
them, and the money collected. The case
was appealed to the next high Court. There
the judgment was in favor of the brothers,
and the money was returned to them: An
appeal to the Supreme Court was then had
By the other side Samuel Phelps was then
a member of the United States Court.

His coat was of and his face fiery red from

over. All the facts were given him, and
then Senator Phelps said that it was about
forty miles to where the case was to be
tried. 1t would cost him something to 60
there and back. The trial would proba-
big take week, and it was an important
case. Therefore he would have to charge
big fee. His visitor, who had slready
spent good deal of money in the case,
was little uneasy when he heard the best
lawyer in Vermont talk that way Finally
Mr.. Phelps said i cannot undertake the

the reporter.

the facts in his plain, incisive way throwing

case was so strictly in accordance with the
facts that they would submit it to the Court
without argument and let il be decided on
its merits Phelps got his verdict"

What 70 done cannot Be undoue. Per
haps no one ever realized that more tho
roughly than did Mabel Talbot, when abe
saw those few peneillsa words Of hers star
ing back ct her from q strangers letter.
She could not possibly tear up the envelope;
abe coald only thrust the letter back int
the pocket Of the coat and hide her own
deed rosn her own eyes. How devoutly
she hoped that Mr.. Grantlsy really was On
bis wayto Indisl The further Of the better.
Aud during her journey she registered .
VOW never again to act on any occasion in
hfe without due reflection.
The heiths had rooms on the sunny slde
OF the river, on the Lung Arno Accisjoi;
and coming. as Mabel did, from the gray
November states Of England, she perfectly
reyelled in the sunny weather which set in
on her arrival in that brightest Of cities
She was also, according to HELEN Keith "a
handsome, clever woman. in every way
contrast to pretty little inexperienced
Mabel) in one succession Of 'gusbes over
every picture and statute, piece Of tapestry
ard mosaic, the Cathedral and Giosto's
Tower, the Baplistry and the wonderful
gates which Michael Angelo pronounced BIT
10 be the gates Of Piradise; Fra Angelicos
spgsls and the Lucea della Robbia, etc. So
full Of delight and excitement was she that
for some days she forgot both her whimsical
dream and her fears.
One morning Helen took her to Giottos
little cbspelin the church Of Santa Croce,
and, giving her Ruskin's little pamphlet. let
her puzzle the matter out for herself. Very
puzzled did Mabel feel. as she leaned against
the wall opposite the fresco which depicts
the trial by FIRE before the Sedan, and read
out sentence here and there. She was
quite deep in thought when she heard
spoken, very quietly, in English: What a
pretty voice"
And still prettier face! What brown
eyes and golden hair" said another voice.
At that moment two gentlemen, presum-
ably the speakers, descended the steps Of
the chapel behind her, and walked down
the nave They passed close to her, and
as they did so, Mabel made a sudden dart
forward. Enveloping one Of the two, very
tall man, was the ulster; she would have
known it again anywhere.

Mabel was in tumult Of JOY. He did
not think of her as her sensitive love had
feared, but she was his sweetest
The remainder she could FIJI up for herself.
Had she not known "her Francis" before
he had known her? Had she not seen that
look of love on bis face before? When she
returned to the sitting.roon her joy re-
ceived its first check. Francis Granlley
was gone, but other visitors had come who
seemed to be sll talking at once. Heleu's
words were the only ones out Of which she
could make any sense.
How lucky that he lett the telegram be-
hind, otherwise we should have thought he
had taken leave of his senses. trust he
will see his friend alive. He must, think
have caught the Roman express. He
certainly wasted no time in goodbyes OF
explanations. Mabel caught Helen's eyes
and the loving sympathy in them made her
hide her face over the forgotten telegram
which had become common property. 1t
was as Helen had said. Francis Grantley
had been summoned to Rome to the death
bed of friend, and glance at her watch
told her that he could no longer be in
Florence.
For some days no news came from him.
Helen thought it very strange but as Mabel
seemed only to think Of his trouble, she kept
her own thoughts to herself. Mabel how
ever, was only acting part. As the days
went by a small voice. treacherCus one
it seemed to her-kept whispering that he
ought 10 have found time to write-if only
one word to complete those interrupted
spoken ones. Then she would recall that
glance which they had exchanged and her
Joy returned in full She would have found
those days more difficult to pass through
had she not been partly taken out of herself
by the unexpected arrival Of dear friend
on the evening Of Mr.. Grsntley s,departure.
This was one Hugh Sedley, young man
some years her senior, who was engaged to
be married to her fayorite cousin Charlotte
Burns. Hewas one of those sunny-taced,
brighteyed people who, when they have
troubles, win the sympathy of others at once.
His trouble was the six-months' delay OF his
marriage, and he could not have found q
more sympathetic recipient Of all his
thoughts and feelings than Mabel was at

ment to be borne, that BY the time she had
done the honors of Florence to him sll day
and let him talk everlastingly Of Charlotte,
they both felt their SORROWS hghtenei.
Helen Keith, however, who was not in
Hugh's confidence, felt a trouble grow with
in her the lighter theirs grew, but Mabers
natural reserve made it impossible for her
even to hint at danger which perhaps
might be merely imagination. She could
only try to keep them apart as much a.
possible, and she succeeded 90 far well thai
Mabel spent the greater part Of Christmas
Day with other friends. Toward evening
she returned, and seeing Helen and Hugh
Sedley talking over the FIRE, she went up Il
her room and sat in the dusk, glad Of thi

thoughts. There must be some mistake
