fellow. The woman whom he loved would
not marry him.

The Scotch and English cloths which now
crowd the dry goods counters. says the New
York Tribune are a noteworthy feature of
the season. Formerly the heavy weights of
| cloth made by English and Scotch manu-
facturers were imported chiefly for fall and
winter wear; but since the advent of tailor
| fashions there has teen at all seasons nearly
a growing demand for the English cloths,
which give such sterling value in wear
The English manufacturers do not make a
cloth of exquisitely silken-soft texture and
feather weight like the French camel's-hair;
| but their cloths are more durable and can
be relied upon not to pull at the seams, TO
sag or generally to get out of shape.
There are very few new French cloths
except small quantity Of cheviots, cash
meres and other standard goods yet on the
retail counters. The display of early spring
cloths for this season has been chiefly con-
fined to Scotch homespuns, bold Scotch
plaids and English cloth in fine herring bone
stripes and oSher mixed effects. Noticeable
among the homespun goods are the granite
cloths, which are notified in the effect of
| granite, and are shown in various gray,
beige and gray blue shades. These cloths
are sometimes crossed by lines Of bold color
| in the new Cleopatra yellow shades, which
verge on orange, or in the new kings red or
| bricky Egyptian red. More tasteful home
spuns, however, are only shot with threads
Of these colors, which appear in lines or in
| seeded effects. Thus an army-blue cloth is
| shot with threads in yellow with dainty
effect or an Aberdeen gray granite cloth Is
touched with threads Of bright kings red
A famous dancer of one of the New York
| theaters wears q bracelet of diamonds on
her ankle, says Clara Bell in the Cincinnati
| Enquirer, and the circumstances by which
| she became possessor of it are curious
enough to bear relating. The dancer is
| equipped with a very extraordinary share
of physical beauty, and by means of it has
| magnetized q small army of mon, who ex-
press their admiration from time to time in
| floral or Jewel tokens, according to the de-
gree Of their emotions and the magnitude
OF their incomes. There was one young man
| who saw the lady and became a particularly
| sad and hopeless slave to the splendor of
her big dark eyes and the radiance of her
her smile. This might not have to the
youths discredit were it not he had at home
a tender and trusting wife, who idolizad
| him with foolish intensity, and who could
not have believed him capable of an
infidelity in thought or action. The
dancer, whose early training had not taught
her to have any especial reverence for the
sscredness OF households, gladly accepted
the attentions of the young husband and
was accustomed to tease him about his
milk -and-water wife waiting for him at
home. Under this order OF things 1t was
| nafu hat uh int
abode OF the married pair. The wife
learned ultimately of her husbands perildy
after long suffering his neglect and cruelty
1t was then that her pride and good woman,
hood asserted themselves. She went to the
dancer and told her she had no right tc
steal her husband from her, that he was
hers alone, that she loved him and woulc
shield him from temptations The dancer
laughed heartily at this quaint appeal ano
assured the young wife that she cared moth
ing for her husband.
II promise you to send him away for
ever SAID the dancer, las soon as he give
me the diamond bracelet he has promised.
care nothing for this young man, but will
have the bracelet"
The wife was aware that the reason hei
husband did not give the bracelet at once t.
the dancer was because he did not have thu
necessary money. She went immediatell
to her father and told him that he must sci
for her few shares of railroad stock tina
had been one of her Christmas presents
The stock brought little over $500, and al
this money was used to purchase a diamond
bracelet Once more the wife sought tn,
dancer and succeeded in getting her Il
promise never to see her husband again.
You must not think me very heartless
the dancer said my love for diamonds |
, so great, and you seem to care for you
little husband. l will not see him again
though, as you must know, he woulC
surely give me the bracelet he promised i
/ only smiled once more upon him. Sleel
we'll tonight, little one. l have no NOR
smiles for your husband"
And the fond and foolish wife's bracele
now flashes on the dancers ankle.
