going to help to pay this frightful debt. She
dismissed her servant and changed her
lodgings for an attic. She learned to per-
form the coarse and odious tasks Of the
kitchen. She washed the dishes, and wore
her rosy nails to the quick on the bottoms
Of greasy kettles. She washed the soiled
linen and dried it on = cord at the window.
She carried the ashes and sweepings to the
street every morning, and carried up water,
stopping at each landing Of the stairs to
breathe. She went to the grocer and the
butcher, her basket on her arm, defending
her miserable money, sou by sou.
Her husband worked evenings, clearing a
ing at five sous a page.
This life lastsd ten years. At the end OF
that time they had paid all, with accumula-
ted interest.
Mathilde looked old now. She had be-
come the rude, strong, hardened woman Of
the poor, with unkempt hair, rough hands,
and gown awry. She talked loud and
scrubbed the floors with great splashing OF
water. But at times; when her husband
was out she sat before the window and
dreamed of that ball SO long ago, where she
hadbeen SO lovely and SO admired.
What would she have been had she not
lost the necklace? Who can tell? How
small a thing can make or mar a destiny!
One Sunday, as she was taking a quiet
stroll she noticed a lady leading a child. 1t
was Madame Forester, still young and
lovely. Should she speak to her? yeN Ger
tainly. And since it was all paid she would
tell her the whole story. She drew near.
Good day, Jeanne!"

California viii always be a sheep-raising and
wool-growing State. There is such vast area
composed of steep hills and mountain sides in
capable OF being plowed, which produce an
abundance Of grass: and the further fact that
the grass does not freeze and thaw here as in

leech out, although the hills are ever so steep

Despite the tendency toward exaggera-

are the order of the day. The adoption of

wrapper which is really only suitable for
wear in the seclusion of ones room. Strong
contrasts seem to De declining, and har-
mony of design and coloring are to be OBJ
served in the toilets of the best dressed

There is none of the accustomed fulfil

Corsages are as smooth and tight as in cold
weather. The real discomfort is no greater.
though the aspect may be so to ignorant
observers. Vests are universal so are high
collars; and the way in which bosoms are

corsages the vest and lapels appear along

the waist is velvet, and the vest is brocaded

a Gala Scene in the City OF Canals and

And 50, while we sat drinking our coffee
on the piazza, says writer in Outing, when
we saw bright light suddenly cover the
sky III the direction Of San GiOrgiO, and the
top OF tie tall canpaniie became d mass of
flames, il seems as if a great fire must have
broken out on the little island, but ar al

cafes quickly swallowed their coffee, Jumped
up from their tables, and, without even
waiting to pay, but trusting to the WATERS
remembering them another evening, ran
to the piazzetta, whittier we went with
them. Then we looked across at the facade
