The mother was overwhelmed. 1t was
her first intimation Of the distress her words
had wrought. The boy was right. She did
not know" and it is to her credit that she
made all the reparation possible, reinstating
the boy in his own manliness at the first OPP
portunity in his and Mrs. L. g presence, and
taking the lesson to heart for future con-
duct.
1t iseYith deep regret that we have TO
recor%his week the experience of young
woman Of Staten Island, says the New York
World. But it must be done; partly be-
cause there is a moral in the tale which
women will take to heart, and partly be-
cause it should be put in the right light be-
fore men VINO have Haunted it in the faces
Of their wives for the last three days.
The heroine of this tale is q young
woman, and pretty woman, aud bust
ness woman. Nobody disputes the first
two claims, and it is only recently that a
doubt of the last has crossed the Staten Is
land mind. The lady dealt IN real estate,
and we are informed on high authority that
she had an office and q safe and a large
number of blue maps, and that she was in
the habit of thinking very frequently. Il
is mentioned that on one or two occasions
she absent-mlndedly cut up the maps for
dress patterns, but this is q little thing
which might happen to any of US, and quite
too trivial for consideration in connection
with so painful a case.
About two months ago a young man
called on Miss Blank, which was a very wise
and pleasant thing for him to do. Having
called once he was sensible enough to see
when he was we'll off and so he called again,
and on another evening, and some more.
And Miss Blanks interest in the real estate
business sensibly decreased. She thought as
often as before, but her thoughts took
different channel. This is where we take
the side of Miss Blank as against the views
of editors who seem to think that she should
have attended t1eher real estate business
and let the young man SO. Those editors
have never been women.
The depth and fervency OF the young
mans affection was soon shown. He asked
her to marry him, and she accepted him
with promptneSs aud great joy. 1t was the
lady's i'll fortune that the spring boom
struck her real estate just at this time,
when she could not reasonably be expected
to attend TO it. The very day following
her engagement four men came TO her In
search of country homes, and she rented
them cottage. Living over again, as she
was VIC SGoLlo VI VIC evening IclOEc, ~ was
very natural that she should rent the same
cottage to each man. And this is practi-
callY what the young woman did.
The men moved in on Friday OF last week,
all four of them and simultaneously. Each
was 81 ghtly surprised to find the other three
present, but each decided to take possession
himself and let the dealer explain her error
to those left outside. So they all went in
together. Front door, back door, basement
and windows were utilized, while the earthly
possessions of four separate families went
through together. The scene was in many
ways u sal one. Even the simple villagers >,
who watched it from afar, were touched.
1t was probably about this time that Miss
Blanks young man heard something and
FASTENED to her home. Gently as only a
lover can, he broke it to her that there
seemed to be reasons why she should go far
away for a few weeks and visit her aunt.
Miss Blank is at her aunt's now. and she
says she can't exactly understand how it all
came about. but that somebody must have
made mistake somewhere"
And this is exactly how the mistake &C.
CURED. 1t all goss to show that woman
Is woman. whether she's in the real estate
business or in the psrlor. And those who
can read between the lines may fancy that
Miss Blank will make her young man
better wife than if she had rented four
houses to those four men at an advance of
so per cent. on regular summer prices.
