Has only seats for two:
Deep in your furs you rest; distract

And take IL inipe the list]ess hand
do not dare TO press
And dream still can hear tho band
In Waldteufci's ''Tendresse."
But as we pass q line Of light
sec your pale, proud face,
4 cloud like that of winter night
Shrouding its namcicss grace.
And in your iorcly, loagin; eyes
Like vioietj wet with rain
The look OF those who agoni-a
Through years Of bitter pain.
why do you tarr to me- and smile
Through deepening mists of tears2
Would you with that pretenss beguils
lily life of its dark fears?
AS in my corner back lean,
Your heart is I'll revealed;
Tho phantom Of what might have been
Kisses the hand yield.
Tho broughan holds threa instead of two.
The lover, long years dead.
Usurps place, cscorting you,
Silent and gaEnt and dread.

has been in the Pacific many years.
"All through the Pacific islands," he
said, fare wonders innumerable. A
curious thing in Samoa is the brilliant
worm, about the size of a vermicelli,
called the pololo. One morning early
was asked by a leading chief to go
with him and the rest of the people to
see the pololo. The strange worm is a
great delicacy, and appears on the wa
tiers of the ocean but once year. In
some phenomenal manner, by looking
at the shape of the leaves, they know
when this is.
1--WE set out in boats before day, and
soon the water was covered with
myriads of the red, blue, green and
vari-colored worms. The natives be-
gan scooping them up in their boats
till the bottom was deep wriggling
mass. Pretty soon the sun came up
and the instant it glinted the water
the pololo went down? The next day
they reappeared, and after that, in ac-
cordance with their curious habit, they
appeared no more for exactly year.

cific / have never heard explained"

EARNINGS OF MARRIEDuWOMEN.
The Many Ways by Which They Add to
the Family Income.

A married woman is not usually sup
posed to contribute directly to the fam
lily purse, her time and strength being
sufficiently taxed when she keeps
house, manages children and servants,
and administers carefully the domestic
affairs which lie within her province
That the husband shall provide the
means, and the wife attend to their
outlay, saving and economizing as
thrifty as she can, is the ordinary ar
rangement, sanctioned by custom, and
agreeable to our idea of business and
of a fair division of labor.
1t is now quite usual, however, for
married women to supplement the in
come of the family by the exercise of
some gift or accomplishment They
write, or teach, or lecture, or paint
pictures; they embroider. or make
pickles or preserves. With delight
full feeling of independence, and the
most generous and tender unselfish-
ness, wives who earn money by some
effort of this kind spend it for family
uses. 1t goes to pay school bills and
purchase shoes Wherever there is a
deficiency, the supplementary earnings
of the wife fit in so easily and in so
timely a manner that both husband
and wife count on this added
source of income as if it were
in the anticipated order of things.
Often style of living rather more
expensive than would be practicable on
the husbands salary or on the profits
from his business is adopted because of
the wife's earnings: larger rent is I'M
dertaken, or the living of the family is
on a broader scale. 1t is not usual
for wife to hoard or invest her earn
ings separately; they go into the COM
mon purse, and are spent either for
luxuries or for the benefit of the chill
dren. when Will gets into a very
tight place." said, one day, woman
who wields ready pen, 81 sit down

Sometimes woman has impecunious
relatives whom she very much wishes
to assist, while she does not feel justi-
fed in taxing her husbands resources
for the purpose. 81 have a dear old
auntie who depends on me for the but

person. Her little income is only
enough for bread; in other words, for
bare necessities An occasional little

of any kind, is beyond her means; but

Portable living and at the same time
any ordinary social requirements.
There are a large parlor and reception
hall which may be thrown together
and an ample dining-room back of the
hall. There is kitchen which is con-
veniently arranged to serve under or
binary or social conditions of living.
The second floor is connected with the
first floor by two stairways-one from
the reception hall and one from
the kitchen. Not long ago everyone
thought he must have house with a
reception hall. The reception hall
idea was overworked until it became
simply a large room with a stairway in
it, hat rack, etc.-but certainly not a
place to receive anyone. A vestibule
is the one thing required to convert
such a hall into a very desirable and
satisfactory reception room. This plan
shows how this may be done. The
vestibule is placed at the front, into
which one may enter and take off his

can on state occasions be thrown open
Us one large room. From the dining
room you pass through pantry to q
well-equipped kitchen, with all neces-
sary plumbing fixtures. store closet,

complete. In this case the bathroom
is OFT the bedroom and has the usual
fixtures. Some might object to having
the bathroom on the first floor because
not so private nor convenient as where
usually PLACED on the second floor.
The arguments in its favor are that it
costs less, is easily kept warm, clean
and comfortable and is more easily
supplied with water in cases where
there are no regular waterworks.
Cellar is placed under all back of
parlor and hall; foundation walls of
stone The chimneys are of hard
brick. Above the foundation walls the

his hip. In fact, in negro parlance, he
was ''ogly tell he's pretty" and more
than one pair of eyes turned after him

But, though the lake ran as rich blue
