TO the point / think. shall be able to
hear your confession without too great
O shock"
IL loveyou granddaughter" ejacu-
lated the captain, abruptly, and his
eyes still continued to study the pat
tern of the rug at his feet.
"Well?"
"Well, know that you have other
designs for her; know that Henri
loves her-no, not as well as do, that
would be impossible. Still. he is bound
up in her, poor boy, and-and so you
see that l must go away"
81 see," pronounced Mrs. Fredericks,
distinctly, nothing of the sort"
AS the captain finally looked at he's
in. wordless surprise, she continued:
"Come here to me, young man." He
approached the great armchair. The
old lady's little shriveled, imperious
hand went up to his coat sleeve.
Bend down! Nearer! Nearerl'
And the captain was aware of hav-
ing suddenly received kiss, which
was like benediction. on the roots of
his hair.
"You will remain here, and you will
be my grandson-in-law," cried the old
lady. Eyes, yes! Why do you look at
me SO? speak the truth. You will
certainly marry Lena. Why, silly
warrior that you are, don't you know
she has not thought of anyone but you
since she first saw you? Young Bowen,
indeed! Saving the politeness would
show your nephew, he has been nothing
more to her than a handsome BARRIERS
block, and that is just what l had in
tended. l knew what you were. Was
not your father, too, one of my dearest
friends? Oh! well, we'll! knew that
no one would make Lena as happy as
you. wished when my end came to
leave her in your hands. What was it
to Inc that you were thirty-six and the
child nineteen? l knew well enough
that those differences are nothing when
they are on the right ride. But 1
wanted Lena to be equally convinced,
to judge of you in comparison with. the
excuse me for so speaking of your
ephew-whipper-snappers of the day.
+ or that reascl | invited you both
together, that she might sec. But had
intimatel to her that l wished her to
marry you, the chances are-such, my
dear Captain Rob, is the feminine heart
that she would have found some
charm in the younger mantle boy
who can only talk of his Ball matches
and his college races. Lena is not per-
verse. But she's woman. AS it is,
all has turned out for the best, and ac.
cording to my most ardent desire. II
you are not persuaded wait and see"
She rang a bell at her elbow. Tell
Miss Fredericks wish to see her." she
said to the servant answering the sum-
mons.
In moment, Lena, pale and still,
and with traces of tears recently shed
still on her cheeks, came slowly into
the room. She hesitated on the TIRES
hold
Capt. Charter sprang to his feet.
Mrs Fredericks opened her lips tc
speak. Then she paused, looking from
one to the other.
Suddenly
Captain, you can explain all this
far better than can. Children, go out
into the grounds togetherr
1t is to be inferred that the captains
explanation was satisfactory, for Miss
Lena Fredericks has been Mrs. Charter

with that tear stained face"
When Lena had left the room Mrs.
Fredericks glanced at the closed door
with very curious smile upon her lips.
She was about to resume "Principles
of Sociology" when the captain came
in. He looked worn, haggard and pale.
After few words of preliminary con-
versatlon he observed that he might
find himself obliged to return to town
within day or two.

The captain, who had been looking
at the floor with his arms upon his
knees in an attitude of corporal reck.
lessness and mental detection very un'
like his usual grave, strong, soidieriy
bearing, glanced up at this.

Another lovely creation was of fswn
color and brown The two were 20
beautifully mixed that one could fancy
that a blonde with such dainty frame

IL used 20 be bad form 70 carry an
umbrella or parasol In its case, bat this
summer il is the proper thing 90 70 do.
To cater TO this new and somewhat CO.
centric taste. parasol covers are made
10 match each parSsoL They are made
In exactly the same kind OF silk and
decorated in precisely the same way.
The golden and blue parasol. pre-
viously described. had gold and blue
cover, and the fzwn color and brown
psrasol had cover of fawn and brown
with little dots of yellow for . border.
One is moved to wonder OF what use
these cases are. When woman carries
parasol she is supposed 10 use II and
20 unfurl IL over her head whenever she
goes forth in the day time. In the
evening she is supposed to leave her
parasol at home.
But these ideas are old-fashioned
ones. and there are no new ones to take
the place of them. The summer parasol
is like the summer girl Ii has ways Of
Its own. and the reasons for them are
often devious and past finding out. Ac-
cording to the summers dictates the
summer parasol is TO be carried upon
mountaineering trips and upon excur-
sions where walking stick is required
and where an Alpenstock was formerly
used. The handle is made specially
long for this purpose and the cover Is
supplied, so that the parasol may not
become worn or torn by the excursions.
The material is very fine, so that the
whole, when rolled mp and put in its
case, is no larger around than an Alpen-
stock and serves the purpose just the
same. When place of rest is reached
and the summer woman desires to be
sheltered she takes of the gay little
case, unfurls her parasol. and 10! the
lAlpenstock is transformed.
This is said to be the real reason why
oucn very fancy cases arc mace tnls
summer. But truth TO tell, they seem
to be put to many different use. In
the evening when the only planet Wis
ible is the cold moon without even a
thought of suns rays or MONDAY glare
the women of fashion may be seen
promenading the hoterpiazzas with one
hand upon the arm of her masculine
escort, and the other grasping the long
handle of her parasol, which she uses
as walking stick. OF course, it Is
neatly rolled up in its case and looks
like a part Of the dress which It so close
ly matches in color and texture.
Word comes over from London that
Mr.. Oscar Wilde is entering new pro
test against the somberness of mans at
tire. At o picture exhibition to which
he and his graceful wife were invited,
he appeared in brown suit of some
what peculiar cut. 1t was very long in
the coat and very loose in the legs.
With the brown coat he wore hello.

trope tie and yellow dotted shirt and,
not only one, but whole bunch of yell
low carnations in his buttonhole.
His wife wore brown of the same
shade, which was also relieved by
touches of yellow.
1t is said by those who saw them
that the two appeared like canary birds
gone somewhat to seed, with their lib
eral coating of brown. And yet there
were others who said that Oscar Wilde
looked wonderfully handsome in his
brown and yellow get-up and that he
and his wife would be yet regarded as
social martyrs and not as social &C.
centricities.
The favorite way Of fastening on
flowers at hops and balls is to pin them
high upon the left shoulder so that
they fall backward over the shoulder
rather than forward. In this way they
are not crushed.
