| An incident so romantic that it does not
ring true. Which Il Is.
One canuot expect gratitude in this
world, says the New York Tribune, and the
! experience of Mr.. W. proved no exception
! TO the general rule. He was fussy, kind
/ little man, with great propensity for mix
ing himself up In other peoples affairs. He
! was particularly fond Of giving advice on
! every su jeot connected with foreign travel,
1t being his special pride to appear 'au
couraut" with every detail connected with
the various routes abroad; and he was won't
| to brag in innocent fashion that there was
! no man going that had more intimate
knowledge Of every capital in Europe, or
who could give more points in regard TO
shops, hotels-more information, in short.
OF all kinds generally needed by tourists
DE bed great and sincere admiration for
| fashionable people, and as he was always
ready to make himself useful he was gener-
ally tolerated and even rather liked by his
| world.
So when Mrs. Beaconstreet Of Boston lost
her pearl brooch il crossing between Dover
and Calais it seemed very natural that MIR.
W, who happened 10 be on board, and who
was delighted TO be of service to the great
lady, should conduct the investigation and
render himself particularly obnoxious TO
every official ard attendant IN the steamer
in his zeal to recover the lost or stolen
article. The search. however, was in vain,
aud Mr.. W., who was due at Pau, deploreu
his inability TO go with Mrs. B. to Paris and
put her on the right track toward recover
ing the brooch. Those French detectives
are wonderful fellows" he said confident
tally ''they can ferret out everything. l
can give you the address Of just the man
you need, and ii the pearls were stolen on
the boat, as they undoubtedly were, ten to
one he will get them back" So out came
his ever ready card case and pencil, and be
wrote the name and address Of a noted de-
tective.
Rather impressed with his knowledge Of
Paris, Mrs. Beaconstreet sent at once on
her arrival for the official, who listened to
her story with great attention. "Y GU say,
madam, that a gentleman whom you met
by chance on the steamer sent you TO US?
All, be wos en- acquaintance of mndam's,
not a friend? And this monsieur was very
kind and impressed himself to make inquir-
les! VIII madam" taking out his little
note book, "give US the name of this mon
sieur, and also have the complaisance to de-
scribe his personal appearance" Rather
bowildered by this last request, Mrs. Beacon
street exclaimed: "What has Mr.. WIS ap-
peerance to do with my pearl broochW
"Ah, madam is oonfiding; she does not
understand the ways of these persons of con-
hdence, but, nous autres, we are used TO all
that. Let us find le Monsieur w. and l
feel assured that we will discover traces of
the lost jewels" And IL was with great
difficulty that Mrs b. succeeded in prevent
ing the unfortunate and overzsalous gem
tleman from beng placed under the sur
veillance of the police. Not only that,
moreover, but Mrs B. herself has been
heard, after relating the tale, To murmur:
at was certainly very odd. What if-after
all, and then hastily TO change the subject.
A certain little lady who writes a good
deal, says Clara Belle in the Times Demo
crdt, and who seems to be in the house a
great deal more than is consistent with the
beauty Of her complexion, makes this con-
fession:
Il wear heavy dress cloak and hat.

room. My hands don't get cold, because |

because l am wrapped up just as II | were
going driving, and partly because | write

so excited over what | am doing that l

work."
Such good way, isn't it' 1t is too good
TO keep.
LISA favorite notion with women to
have favorite flower, but rather pretty
way of making use of the hobby is to have
the flower alone growing about the house.
and so make the perfume Of it a character
istio, Indeed. of ones belonging.
The English JOURNALS mention an amusing
epilogue of a pilgrimage to Rome Just
after the last train, which brought the pill
grims back to London. had entered the
Victoria station an old lady burdened with
packages was with difficulty trying to find
Il carriage, when a middle aged man, simply
dressed, approached and offered his services
Thinking she had TO do with one Of the
| employees, the good woman gave him her
bundles, which the obliging man carried to
the end of the station, and then, haling a
cab, placed the old lady and her impede
meuts within. and giving the driver the adj
dress she had indicated, called to him TO
drive on. As the carriage was about to roll
off the woman placed fee of 2 pence in the
hand of the man who had rendered her the
service.
He was simply the Duke Of Norfolk. The
duke pocketed the pence, thinking the ad-
venture very original Moreover, it was
the first time in his life that he had ever
earned any money by his own labor.
A neat little notice addressed and mailed
to the Four Hundred announced that Nine.

Der OF attractive models, and requested a
visit aud tour OF inspection OF her gowns
and wraps, says the New York Tribune.
"As l had nothing better TO do the other
morning, " said woman who was a recipient
of one Of the cards, II thought l would go
and see what she had in the way OF novel

especially new and pretty that would, just
