among the elegant things in the mil
linery of spring openings, and bead
effects, though by no means new, are
especially distinctive of the season. Metal
liciZed beads are the outcome of the natural
wood rosary beads of winter; and varying
the piquets of jets, pegl and colored crys-
tai beads, charming novelty in millinery
garniture appears in piquets tipped with
fuchSias and other pendant blossoms Of
olive and other natural woods.
SIYLITTLE DOCTOR
threw himself with the air of a disguised
man upon our paTlor sofa and exclaimed:
CLARA, what amazing thing are you going
to say or do, now that you have sent for
me?"
"Have you found for me some sort of a
curioSity?" l asked land is that why you
prepare yourself for surprise in this
way?"
"Oh. no." said he. with a sigh; ''you are
one of the best of them-but you're q girl
all the same and, therefore, heaven knows
what you have in store for he. / have just
come TO an understanding with one of my
lady patients, so'thats great load off my
, mind. L wish l could say as much for the
rest of them"
L knew then that was to have an inter
eSting Story-something rising to the height
of interest required for letter 10 the En-
quirer. My doctor is no ordinary person
with ordinary people for patients. lie
lives on Fifth avenue, near the park, and
very seldom, indeed, does his business
take him pistol shot from that
promenade of fashion. In fact, look
ing at him from my standpoint. that's
the only trouble with him. He's too swell.
He says: Take glass of wine at din
ner. What kind? Oh. Chambertin'll do"
Or he remarks: Cant you manage TO
get away and breathe sea air for awhile?
Yes? Good. Then go TO Liverpool and
from there TO Alexandria, and back by an
other line" He is so used to dealing with
us fashionable girls, YOU know. Myi What
a fraud he is! Fifteen years ago his
fathers heart was broken because he re-
fused to work longer on the paternal farm.
Ten years ago he was shock-headed. long
haired, awkward country youth, taken up
by a swell doctor as a sort of clerk. Now
he is telling millionaireS and milliOnaireSseS.
You do this, "'DOn't do thai" "GO here, +"
Take what tell YOU" But then, the
millionaires and millionairesses are also
country boys and country girls transplanted.
Half the swellS. yes, two-thirdS of them,
can shut their eyes and look back few
years to patenal roof-trees in the country.
THE SToMACHs THAT REVOLT
at anything worse than Delmonico's fare
were tickled with salt pork and apple sauce
little while ago; aye, and tine pink and
white feet that l saw being elegantly
powdered and oiled, while Mrs. Brown
stones French kid slippers waited TO re-
ceiye them and carry them to her carriage,
were the same feet that spoiled my mud
pies in certain backwoods county not
quarter of lifetime ago. But to get back
to the doctor.
''By Jove!" said he, "When walked in
to my consultation room just now who
should see-nine o'clock in the morning,
mind you-but one of my most fashionable
lady patients. had been treating her for
serious heart trouble-one that pretty
nearly took her off her feet a year ago.
Again and again she disobeyed me. and
went to parties and balls, and drank stimu-
tents and didn't know what all, but at
last L told her she would be a dead
woman at any instant and coulden't possibly
live month. That scared her, and she
pulled up for two or three months, and got
very much better. After that 1 lost sight
of her until to-day. But to-day she was in
a frightful condition. Her heart action
was more feeble and irregular than at any
time before, and she-well, she looked
pretty as a picture to an ordinary eye,
but to a physician her red cheeks,
her flashing eyes and her waXen skin were
so many startling symptoms. Morning,
DOCTOR said she; stopped in on my way
home. Went to the opera last night. then
to private supper. then for drive in the
park and little breakfast Fort Wash

going to bed. I'm all tagged OUT
MIS- said 1, you can go to bed,
or you can go to the races, or you can
go to Baxter street. just as you please; but
you cannot see me professionally again as
long as you live. You are trihing with me
more than / will stand. Go and die OH

mine was thoroughly angry and out
of patience with her, and said what first
came to my mind. But she is not going to
die on any other doctors hands. l am to
go on treating her. She was as plain
spoken as L, and we came to an understand
ing.
"Don'tbe absurd, DOCTOR said she. L
shall not go anywhere else than to you.
We misunderstood one another. Let us
COME TO TERMS.
You have been trying to cure me haven't
you; to build me up, restore my physique,
get my system nominal again. and so bring
back my regular heart action? Yes,
thought so. Now, that can be done by my
retiring at 9 or 10 o'clock at night, abstain
ing from stimulants and sweets, going into
the country and getting plain food and abb
solute, quiet rest. Am l right?"
Just as you did do last year said /.
YES said she; Just as you very kindly
told my husband l must do. you mean,
and just as he made me do, staying in town
six months for the purpose. Well my hus-
band is now in Brazil, and will remain
there until May or June, and ! am my own
mistress. Therefore please understand me.
| want no building up and no systematic
treatment of any sort. l want a potion
now which will put me to sleep from now
till tomorrow morning. Will you give it
TO me?'
"'Go on said L; what else will you
have?'
80 want course of treatment, said
she. that will fix me up for champagne
supper and dance next Monday night
want to be up all night. and TO look my
best on that occasion. After that, if any
thing else turns up 1 want to be
braced up for I'll let you know.
Keep me on hand for all the good
times possible until the talks quit town, and
then present your bill. L may never live to
see another season, and L mean to make the
most of this one"
"'You are FOOL said l.
Certainly said she; and you are my
doctor. Make the best of bad job -
