or care any more about than is gained from the
simple little incident in her life that am going
to relate. Rosina is q true child of the cafes.
not bad but horribly indiscreet, looking like a
Psrisien woman OF fashion in linen dress and
with wonderfully saucy flower in her cheap
hat, and living on vegetables in order to wear
fine shoes and six-b gloves. One day last
week Rosina and girl friend that works in the
same shop with her got half holiday, and went
away down to the Monmouth Park races. They
both had return tickets and nothing
else in their pockets, but the gorgeous
crowd was sufficient, and as they quivered with
excitement over the racing they gazed about
with as proud air as the richest woman to be
seen. While one race was in progress, asudden
breeze lifted RosinR' little hat from her head,
and in falling from the grandstand to the
ground it struck lightly upon the shoulder of q
handsome young man who was watching the
battle of the horses through pair OF field
glasses. He looked up and his eyes met the
sparkling ones of Rosina, who was holding out
her hand at him to indicate that the hat
belonged to her. How it happens that the young
man who rescued the pretty Rosina's hat

the clubs, and had her radiant face not attract

into her possession in another way than by tax

put uuder spell by her frank gaze, the elegant
young man vent to Rosina and handed to her
the hat. He then fingered and spoke with the
pretty creature, asking il she liked racing and,
finally, if she liked champagne.
\ wine dinner ensued in the race course res
taurant, and the two girls did nothing which
the richest bellies from Murray Hill might not
have done without scandal.
But this is a sentimental bit of q story, and
here is the reason why the champagne which
Rosina drank had more bitter favor than she
would have found in the cheapest beer quaffed
with an eligible sweetheart. The fashionable
youth was laxative and he confessed to Rosina
that he was to be married within very few
days. She looked at his handsome face and
sighed. Such as he not for her. He

For about the first time she thought of the at
fractions of another life, of the life that the
bride of her companion was to know.
What bunch of daisies at your neck reminds
me of Lillian said the young man across his
glass. LILLIAN is my fancee, you know. She
has very simple tastes. Wears daisies in pref

The day went by and the youth was charmed.
Roslna was Jemure, quiet and tantalizing. They
returned by steamer to town, anu it was all
very sentimental and interesting Later they
stood together at Rosina's door. 1t was on an
bedroom windows, but the house had a re-
spectacle look, though the respectabiity OF it
seemed perfunctory.
Perhaps l might be permitted to call on
your said the young man.
Rosina looked at him moment, and then
said:
bye to me here. L have had a very please Mt
day, and don't want to spoil the memory of
II. Let us both remember it with little better
feeling than-than most such occasions leave
behind. Good-ni mt.
The fashionable Young man was out in the
street alone. He may have been angry as he
liked away. OF this am not sure. On the
appointed dav he was married. 1t WAS a fash
ionaoie wedding, and the papers gave all the
details OF 1t, dwelling much upon the unusual
Ioveliness OF the bride. OF course there were
numerous presents of great value. One of the
oodest remembrances received by the bride was
bunch OF daisies tied prettily by a ribbon. On
card attached TO this modest offering was in
scrlbed, Roslna Girard. The bride could not

attracted the groom's attention to the posies he
declared that he knew no Miss Girard, though
he flushed bit as he made the statement
