who was plain woman in her youth
still keeps age at distance. But the
beautiful woman is as rare as the pretty
woman is usual; and what lover thinks
of eighty years, or of halt as many,
when the lovely Lois sits beside him?
Who Of US cares the less for the rose
because knowing It Is soon to fall? The
lover ls in the present; the woman he
loves is the center of its atmosphere: che
is its life, its supreme expression; all the
ages have been only to produce her, and

and death in connection with her. He is
not even aware that any of this is in his
inner consciousness; he only knows
that it Is life where she is
and death where she is not;
that she is indispensable to him; that he
cannot contemplate the future without
her; that he feels an iueffable tenderness
toward her; that even her mother, and
that imp of evil, her young brother,
share in her dearness, aud that her
father is as awful a being as the Homerlc

Whose beauty did astonish the survey
OF richest eyes,
whatever it may be, the circumstance
will not have great influence over his
own choice; for il is TO be doubted if any
of us ever learn much of anything by
the mistakes of another.
Each lover of the list thinks that in hii
choice there Is no mistake, tina. his love
come to perfect flower, that his home, al
any rate, Is to be happiness, his future
haven.
Perhaps it will be. Perhaps the
glamour of fair face has not blinded
his eyes to things that last longer. Per-
haps with the fair face has come TO him
the fair soul, too, the clear mind, this
warm heart, the strong will, the gentle
way, the sweet temper. He may havs
found-why not?-beeuty and goodness
together, and wit as well. II he Is really
to have the happiness he expects. he
must have some measure of all three.
The lover who can see Helen's beauty in
the brow OF Egypt will usually End
what answers to him for beauty IN che one
he loves. But beauty without the good
ness will soon pail and disgust him;
beauty without the wit Will tire HIN;
and goodness without the others will
serve small purpose beyond filing him
with an uncomfortable remorse for his
own errautry and pity that is too pain
full to be INDUCED; while the Wit alone
without the Others will presently dis
cover itself in its loneliness and fill him
with dismay and shrinking.
Beauty and wit alone have made
women the historical sinners of the world;
and although they have held their sway
over many hearts, it has been brief
sway, and the hearts have never known
happiness. But wit and goodness alone
have held kings in thrall, have mar
shalIed humble households to gladness,
and il their owners had not Cisopatra'i
beauty their lovers and their husbands
never know it.

New Haven Lost to Hartford Yester- day ana In Consequsncs Drops so Third Place-New Haven Fielaea
 without an ErrOr. bus Gould Nos Win as They Had ah or Day In Their Hitting-Base Ball Gossip and scores of All the other Games.
 HARTFORD, June a0.-The home team was at last successful to-day in defeating the New Ravens. The contest was close and exciting throughout, and in the ninth inning, when New Haven scored two runs, 1t looked very much as If tho score would be tied.
 The New Ravens played without an error. Doyle at one time made desperste run for . long foul hit and just succeeded in getting one hand on the ball, but it was not consid- cred fair to credit him with an error.
 ;4illiland pitched for New Haven and did good work, striking out nine men. Hartford'a new pitcher, Lyston, occupied the box and strengthened the good impression he made ai his first appearance.
 Thiesen of the Meriden Resolutes appeared with the home team today and covered first base. During the past year or two Thieser has had many tempting offers to play ball ai professional, but up to the present time he declined them all. It is thought he will prove strong addition to the team.

No, we're not afraid of your duplicating price or quality. It can't be done. Just a clearance lot that the manufacturer would like back to sell over again, that's all.
 Here's something there'll be scrambling for ; a few ecru cro- chet Lisle Ladies Vests in Jer- sey shapes at 38c each. Short sleeves and necks trimmed with fancy silk in pale blue, pink and self-shades. You know the value of crochet work this sort of wea- ther-cool as the proverbial cu- cumber. Elasticity and fit com bined. Thin at the waist and thick at the hips as they should be. The price isn't too much. It isn't enough-but that's not your concern, you say.
 When black came out first, no one would buy it. Now it's the very height of fashion. Fash ion and economy hang together in these Ladies Black Lisle Swiss Vests with colored ribbon at-neck and sleeves. Just marked down from SOC to 38c.

As shs New Haven wood Yara-Timely
 Discovery.
 Az Michael Boucher, 6 lad about fifteen years of age, was walking along the Consoli- dated railroad tracks In the rear of the New Haven road yard about half-past 9 last eve- ming, he discovered blaze coming from the building used by the company in which they store their small bundles of kindling wood. He immediately ran to the precinct aud told Captain Smith that the New Haven wood yard was on fire. Captain Smith ran to box 43, situAtsd on the corner of Myrtle and Hamilton streets, and rang the alarm. Steam. CT No. ( reached the scene of the fire first and soon had the fire under control. It is lucky that the Hrsmsn reached the fire as soon e they did, for had they not the whole building would have surely burned down. It is full of seasoned wood and very conbusti- bls. As it was the loss will not amount to over $50. The origin of the Ere is unknown, but 1t was probably caused by spark from some of the engines that are passinR by con. tinually, or else some miscreant set the building on fire.
