by the arml She held down her head,
and her blue eyes were full OF tears.
What are you doing here?' he
asked.
"She wept and said:-T wanted to
kiss the hen and beg her pardon for
frightening her yesterday, but | was
afraid to tell YOU
And the father kissed the innocent
child's forehead, and kissedhe on the
mouth and eyes."-Hans Christian
Anderson.
A Cottage at Newport.
A few years ago the people talked
of a cottage at Newport; but now it
sounds like the pride that apes hui
mility to hear one of the great man
sions described in such a way. Life
goes on as if all was made smooth for
him who would enjoy, and, indeed,
that is really the case. The very rich
families-the Astors, the Belmonts,
the Vanderbilts, the Goelets and
Havemeyers do not hesitate to lavish
great sums upon their Newport
houses, and to be entertained there is
understood to be much 0 of a COM
pliment than it would be to receive a
card to the most elaborate affair In
the city. The finest glass and china
is upon the table, and Chefs. whose
salaries go beyond the desirable ten
thousand a year, cater to the tables
that are, possibly, satiated with the
good things of life. A dinner-partv is
quite as formal as given in the
and the guests seldom rising from the
70 h1n hafoua aloxrar1 an ho1fnocf Hhar
comes a dance-either at the Casino,
or some private house. The fancy is
to have a s'dinner-dance'-that is,
several hostesses who are friends, in
vite a certain number to dine, and
after dinner all meet at the house
which has the best ball room; a few
outsiders, usually men, are asked, and
after dancing all night" the beauties
start home as the sun is coming up,
making the least line of age or dissi-
patton show upon their faces.
Garden parties are in vogue: tennis,
croquet, archery and that old-new
English game, golf, being played by
the younger set, while the matrons
are grouped about, beautifully
dressed, discussing the pretty moth
ings that form society talk. Footmen,
or primly dressed maids, carry trays
here and there upon which are a cool
cup of tea, thin waters, fancy cakes,
ices and, occasionally, some delicious
fruit. When all the world goes out
for its afternoon drive, the list is
looked over, the garden parties
counted, and my lady considers at
which she will stop for a little while,
not only for a change and to show
her w gowns, but to see what other
women are wearing and hear what
they are doing.-Ladies' Hmoe Jour
nal.
Heat and the Growth of the Hair.
1t is generally understood that the
hair and nails grow faster in hot
weather than in cold, but, perhaps,
few are aware that any temperature
can impart so great a stimulus to the
growth, as Colonel Pejevalsky, the
Russian traveller, says the Central
Asian heat did during his journey in
those regions in the Summer of 1889.
In June the ground and the air be-
came excessively hot, SO great, indeedy
as to render travel in the daytime i'm
possible. Within a fortnight after this
oppressive weather began il was
noticed that the hair and beard of all
the party was growing with astonish-
ing rapidity. and, strangest of all,
some youthful Cossacks, whose faces
were perfectly smooth, developed re-
spectacle boards within the short
period of twenty days.-S. Louis Re-
public.
Lady Goldsmid's Brussels Lace.
1 have seen the lovely old Brussels
lace which Lady Goldsmid has just
bought for her daughters wedding
gown, says Miss Mantaline. Her lady
ship paid a heavy price for it. Her
tastes lie in the direction of old china
and old lace. She has some remark
ably fine specimens of the latter, and
recently paid $500 for a piece of old
point, sufficient, perhaps, for the front
of an evening dress.
