flower from the lapel of his coat and. max
ing low bow, offered the flower to the
young woman.
She hesitated moment. She was evil
IDENTIFY frightened. Every one in the car
was watching the couple by this time. She
put her dainty gloved hand out to take the
flower, drew it back again, and finally ac-
cepted it. The man made another deferen-
tial bow and returned to his seat without
saying word. He got off the train at The
next station without looking again at the
young woman.
She was from a town in Norway, and the
man who had paid her the tribute had once
been the son of rich man in the same
town. He was brought up in idleness, and
when few years later his father lost all his
money he was obliged to earn living by
manual labor. as he had never been
trained to earn it in any other way. He
had known the young woman in her native
town when she was girl. Being too proud
to work as day laborer among the people
who had known him in his prosperous days
he came to the New World. The young
woman did not recognize him because tine
downfall from Opuence had wrought such a
great change in his countehance.-N. Y,

Sugar is, comparatively speaking. all

treated so as to make it pay well; and we

and shouted for help. No one was near ex-
cept her slender girl companion, who
plunged into the water and swan out swiftly
to rescue her friend. This was not an easy
matter, for Miss Saunders is much heavier
than Miss Hays, and she made the common
mistake of Selling her rescuer around the
throat instead of around the waist The
drowning girl was brought to shore. There
were few persons on the beach at the time,
and they were not near The girls, and Miss
Hays supposed the event unnOticed. But
the story of the rescue was told from one to
another until it eventually reached the
Royal Humane Society, which presented her
with one of its much-prized testimonials.

reported in Washington that a wealthy
American living in Europe intended TO give

collection of old arms and armor which was
valued at S1,0o0.000. The plan seems to
have fallen through, if it was ever really in
contemplation. But l am reminded of it
by the splendid collection of armor in this
great German collection. l have no doubt

A Little Incident of Modern Life on an

One chapter of an interesting romance
was developed on an elevated railroad train
the other day. and those who witnessed the
strange actions of beautiful young woman
and stability dressed man, apparently of
middle age, are probably still wondering
what 1t all meant The man was seated not
far from the door in one Of the cars, and
from his appearance he was evidently en-
ployed in some sort of manual labor.
The train stopped at Eighteenth street
and the young woman referred to entered
the car and took seat almost opposite to
the one occupied by the poorly dressed man.
He was looking out the window when she
came in, and he did not observe her at
first. When the car started he turned
around. and the instant his eyes lighted
upon the face Of the young woman he
started violently. The young woman OBJ
served the action, and as she looked at the
face of the man a puzzled expression came
over her face. After the car had passed

REDFERN STYLES.
Ladies Who Adopt Masculine MOdeS-A Gown

srecial to THE SUNDAY GAEL

NEW YORK. Dec. IA, 1S91.-There is a
strong feminine tendency to assume mascu-
line modes this season, as will be noticed by
those fortunate persons of leisure who have
time to study the fashion plates. Riding
habit vests and lapels, mannish pockets,
stand-up collars, ties and pins, are seen
every day with little ladylike notifications.
Corduroy tweeds, yicunas and serges con-

rarely seen without some garnlture OF

curves Of beauty, the contour Of loveliness
and the purity of outline set off by some
thing that fits, but he looks upon his own
severe garments as copyrighted articles,

How many women know that there is one

look into the mirror. She will see every
sharp line in her face accentuated, every

eyes craven deeper The unshaded light

face is what does 1t.
Not long ago an ingenious woman put the

The Force of Imagination.

An amusing story is reported from a
cathedral town on the coast of England.
For many years half dozen devout old
ladies have been in the habit Of going, in
fine weather or in foul, to the early morn
ing service in the cold minister. Recently
1t was decided to warm the church, and the
old ladies with one voice protested against
the innovation.
''We shall be suffocated," they declared;
1--WE shall be carried out faiDting."
One morning when they arrived for their
devotions they found half dozen stoves set
up in various hooks and corners Of the
cathedral. In the course Of the service,
therefore. three of the old ladies fain ted.
