scarcely an hour ago he was talking with
Gladys Montague; now he was leaving
her as fast as he could, vowing never TO
came back. Even then, n thought in
truded itself upon his mind that he was
acting foolishly-even cowardly. H
fancied he saw a peculiar smile on Thurs
toms face when he said goodbye al
the hall-door. He longed to tell him what
had happened but there were so many
people about he couldn't. He even had
not told him about the trunk-but he
could write that. Wouldn't it have been
better to have stayed and fought it out
No; the thought OF seeing Gladys Mon
tague again after their conversation was
too much for him.
And so he drove away. In the distance,
tho barking OF a dog could be heard ;
along the road the rumble of the carriage
wheels sounded unusually loud ;about him,
clouds obscured the sky; 10 the west they

east, light, heecy, white; the moon was
hidden; the wind blew softly against his
hot cheeks as the horse sped on. Did he
love her after all? He thought OF their
interview; he thought OF the lock of hair.
He tore away at the buttons OF his coat,
and took something dark from an inside
pocket, and looked at it. He felt tempted
for a moment TO kiss it, but then with an
expression OF contempt at his weakness
he threw what no held in his hand away.
It flew back with tho wind and he leaned
back in the carriage weariIy. He arrived
at the station just In time to catch the
late express, and before he could think
calmly and intelligcntly on what he had
done, he was we'll on his way TO New York.

THE PROVIDENCE News has struck new
and valuable idea in the way Of newspaper
balloting. II offers TO the bona fds wage earn.
ine workman who gets most votes free trip
to Europe, paying all his expenses and giving
him every possible facility 10 obtain informn-
tion and asking in return that he give through
its columns an honest and unprejudiced state
ment of the conditions of labor as he finds IL.
The offer is open to Democrat or Republican,
free trader or protectionist, and the result OF
the fortunate explorers visit will doubtless be
valuable contribution to the literature OF :hs
pending campaign.
We may add that the editor as a staunch
Republican, is not taking very serious risks
from party stand point. IL was just such an

tative Providence workman to take, ,hat made

From The Springfield Union.

Tie PROVIDENCE News has made n very
liberal offer TO Rhode Island workingmen, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan is outlined as follows:
The Nyws proposes 70 send at it's own eI-
pensc n representative Rhode Island working
man 20 Great Britain TO report upon the con-
dition OF workingmen there. II will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide

teating huts and novels and tenements

great deal of work and play, too, can be

tion.
The choice of the man who Is 10 enjoy this
trip il left with the readers of the paper, the
only conditions being that he be one who
earns his living by daily labor and is compe-
tent and willing to keep those who have
chosen him to represent them informed by
sending an occasional letter to the Nrws, Civ
ing the results OF his investigations. The con.
dition Of European workingmen has been de-
scribed frequently, but IL often happens that
reports are biased by tho economic views Of
the writers, and the present plan should re-

It was at one time the custom for the
great ladies OF the day to drive 10 his es-
tablishment full-dressed for a dinner
party or a ball and TO submit the fit and
flow of their costumes to him for a final
supervision. At the first Universal Ex-
hibition in Paris, that of 1866, Worth APP
peared for the first and only time as an
exhibitor. His contribution, court
mantle in white silk entirely covered with
elaborate embroidery in gold thread, the
artistic pattern of which was designed by
himself, carried of the first prize almost
without contestation. Since then he has
cared nothing for such easily won tri-
umphs. This splendid mantle, even in
those days of comparatively low prices,
was vhlued at 5000.
Despite his long career, Mr.. Worth is
now bat little past middle age. He is
stout, genial, ploasant-looking gentle
man, with a peculiarly low-toned voice,
and very quiet manners. He has never
been known to lose his patiencs with even
the most exacting and unreasonable of
customers; but IL pressed too hard by the
caprices of any one Of them, he will glide
quietly away and leave her TO find out
what she wants before trying TO satisfy
her. He is not only the head OF that vast

One personal popularity OF the great

The second annual concert by the

was yet OF sufficient variety to interest
all and the several selections were we'll

opened with selection by the orchestra,

by John r. Hurley, piano Guetts by Miss
McHugh and Miss Mccarthy, readings by
Miss Maggie Mahoney aud bass solos by

Every selection drew spontaneous
bursts of applause from the delighted
audience. Miss Loretta Brennan i'm her
exquisitely rendered solos gave evidence
of thorough training and her voice which
was pleasing to the greatest degree was
flexible and under full control. Mr..
Sweet was also at his best and read sew

more sober pieces he distinguished HIM
self by a rendering of bis lines first class

WORTH, the DREssMAKER.

Worth, of Paris has long been acknowl-
edged the leading dressmaker OF the
world, and to satisfy curiosity as TO his
appearance, we present his picture here
with. His calling could never be deter
mined from his appearance, for he would
naturally be taken for prosperous
butcher, or saloon Keeper.
1t Is a singular fact that the most cele-
brated OF all the Partisan dressmakers
should have been born in England, the
reputed land of feminine III taste in dress,
says Lucy Hooper in Harpcr's Bagar. Also,
In view Of his origin il rs curious to note
that the only queen in all Europe who has
never ordered toilette from him is the
lady In whose dominions he was born,
namely, Queen Victoria.
Charles Frederick Worth began life as a
printer, but an instructive dislike TO soil
ing his fingers, as well as his Unborn gifts,
led him to exchange his apprenticeship
for position i'm a great dry-goods house.
There he developed and perfected his APP
