edhe duNdhtdSe vi lue iliooilllSH III oD-
scurity to enjoy herself as she might
be permitted
Mrs. Langley stared, and the major
frightened, as they saw her step upon
the terrace. Her face was shaded by
the folds of a silk scarf, which, fall
ing to her shoulders, completely con-
cealed her head. Thus, she said, she
must protect herself from the dews
and breezes.
They We're all seated in Il group
when Mrs. langley said:
"Did you ever see the Indian scarf
dance, Mrs. Gaylord ?"
Mrs. Gaylord had not, and the
major begged description Oft.
81 would show it to you if ! had a
scarf, or if Mrs. Belton would be
good enough to lend me hers for a
moment"
The blonde widow colored in the
moonlight, and murmured something
about taking cold.
"You could not possibly take cold
IN this summer air, and you shall
have my zephyr" said Mrs. Langley,
with her sweetest and most persuasive
smile.
What could Mrs. Bolton do? How
could she refuse, with the eyes of all
upon her, and especially the majors
eyes, who already looked Il little sur
prised at her hesitancy.
Suddenly a thought flashed upon
her. She raised her eyes and looked
steadily at her rival. She saw 1t all
i'll a moment; her secret had been
discovered, and to morrow, without
doubt, it would be made known.
For an instant her heart failed her
but then she nerved herself to a
brave resolve.
81 am very sorry l cannot let you
have my scarf" she SAID in a voice
which faltered despite herself.
"Why?" persisted her merciless
tormentor, with an air Of innocent
surprise.
"Because'-it was hard to say after
all-"because | have not my wig on" ;"
"Emma!" gasped Mrs. Gaylord.
81 shall have to make u clean
breast of it," she said, with little
laugh. "One Of the ladies pet dogs
was it yours, Mrs. Langley?-got
hold of my wig this evening, and has
completely spoiled it"
The major turned his eyes upon
her with sudden, glad surprise.
$50 you wear wig, madam? So
do |. How rejoiced | am to find a
lady who happens to- be in the same
predicament as myself! Why, l
would have been married long ago,
but for the haunting fear Of shock
ing my bride with the knowledge of
u bald head
Then there was u tableau. Mrs.
Bolton blushed and smiled-a glad
smile; the major looked delighted,
and Mrs. Langley's face was white as
she turned away.
81 lost my hair in severe illness,
and it has never grown again." Mrs.
Belton explained. 81 had it made up
into a wig. So you see 1t is my own
halr, after ALL"
When the company broke up at the
"LaFe House." it was perfectly we'll
known to everybody that the major
and Mrs. Bolton were engaged.
And it was all Puck's doing.

which 154, 729 were visits paid to the reading room for purposes of study and research. The number of persons admitted to view the col lsctions in the Natural History museum was 375, ,231, the greatest number in any one year since it's opening on April IS, 1881.
 Five years ago remarkably bright and pretty girl of seventeen worked in San Francisco laundry. A son of wealthy par ents fell in love with her. She returned his passion, but said she would not marry him, as he wished, because she was uneducated and coarse Then he offered to send her away to school. She accepted this offer. During the ensuing four years she was in 8 Montreal convent, very apt and studious. The training wrought all the change that was desirable, and the wedding took place, with a long tour in Europe afterward. The couple returned to San Francisco lately. To show that she had neither forgotten nor was ashamed of her former employment, the bride gave grand supper to those of her old companions who could be brought together. She will probably be wife worth having.
 ssThe present method of assessing personal property in this State,' says the New York Times, s'is costly farce, and the poor peo- pie have to pay for it." A report of the as- sessments in the city of Brooklyn indicates that there is abundant ground for such a statement. Brooklyn is populous city, the residence of a large number of rich men, whose possessions are not all in real estate. Yet the whole number of persons who are assessed for taxes on personal property of a value of more than $5,O0O is but sixty-s There are three assessments of $100, ,00O, two of them being on estates in the hands of ex- ecutors; there is not single person assessed on personal estate between $5O,O00 and $10O, 1000; five assessed for $5O,00O and five for $30, ,00O but only one estate, in an executors hands, for an intermediate sum.
