well educated, her father died when she
was just twenty. His business affairs
were Ia confusion, and after a few
weeks IL became evident that Marion
must look to her own efforts for the
support OF her broken hearted mother
and herself. She was beautiful
girl, with curling chestnut hair,
large gray eyes and bllilant complex
ion. What endless annoyances and
struggles the poor girl had! Not even
the deepest mourning could dim the
lustre of her lovellness, while the rosy
color with which her perfect health
endowed her was constantly suspected
OF being artificial.
The women, she said, were afraid OF
her; the men. too, often insulted her
with their admiration, open or covert.
She finally took q position as q nurse In
hospital, but the urim cap and apron
could not conceal her charms; the en-
tire staff sdored her, and she married q
grave, middle aged physician, partly,
as IL seemed, because he did not make
love 10 her.
BEAUTY AT A DISCOUNT.
A pretty young Irish girl applied to
lady for place. The lady, who was
herself a beauty, after q few inquiries,
satisfying herself that the maid was
good and honest, took her into her serv-
ice. The poo girl was exceptionally
grateful, and finally In burst OF conh-
dence told Of her difficulty in getting a
situation. "It's me looks, ma'am," she
said deprecatlngly, as II she were TO
blame for her appearance. 81 wouldn't
have you about the house. says wan
lady, as IL was some kind OF favor.
i really couldn't have you for account
OF me sons says another more perlite
spoken, and one haste OF man says 10
me whin his wife turned me off, It's
your swate face, me darlin,' till was
aither wishin' / was pockmarked like
me sister Bridget"
The perpetual cloud OF suspicion
which follows the handsome woman
everywhere is o constant source OF an
noyance and too often ofinjury. No
matter how circumspect her conduct
may be men will admire her, will thrust
their attentions upon her, will often, In
spite OF herself, place her In compro-
missing situations. 1t Is not her fault
| that they come where she is, but most
people are ready TO declare that they
would not hang about her without en-
couragement, and she is blamed for
frivolity or worse when the men or their
attentions are alike unwelcome.
Mrs. "A charming young widow,
was spending the summer at a seaside
resort. She was there for six months,
and during that time eight men visited
the place on her account. Not one OF
them had been invited to come, not one
OF them had even written TO her TO ask
| II the visit would be agreeable; each
an had found out from the papers or
from q mutual friend that she was there,
| and as the hotel was open TO all corners
| he came when IL suited him. Once there,
as his time was limited, he had nc
wish to speak to any one else, bot did
his best TO devote every moment 10 the
lady whom he came to see. "She IL
such a 1irt," was the natural comment,
linen are running after her all the
time! Well, / don't know about 1t, but
| I don't think such a woman Is very
desirable acquaintance, do yon| Other
women, thinking with shudder how
their sons might be led to marry the
siren, in spite Of her two children, or
how even their husbands might be be-
wiched by her, concluded II would be
the safest policy TO turn the cold shout
der TO the poor thing.
1t was not her fault. She had done
nothing wrong. The men who had
come had none Of. them interested her
esDecialy. They were acqualntauces
or friends whom she liked, and she
could not be rude TO them. Moro than
one OF them were avowed lovers who
came to learn their fate and insisted
upon interviews private enough TO pro-
vide the opportunity 10 ask the Import
ant question. But she could not pro-
claim that she had refused these excel
lent men. She could only suffer 10
silence the mIsconstructIons placed
upon her conduct, which were due en-
tlrely to her unfortunate appearance.
ACCUSED OF BEING A coQUETTE.
A plain or ordinary looking woman
may with impunity do many things on
which one ''dvinely fair" may not VEN
ture. As an Observation-Disclosures
summer, at another watering place, the
belle in a house full OF people was an
unmarried woman OF twenty-seven.
She was celebrated beauty, bat she
was unwedded simply because thus far
she had never loved any man well
enough TO accept his hand. She was not

was in the same house a quiet married
man. He was there without bis wife,
who was at the sick bed Of her mother.
Mr.. o. had with him bis two chill
dreu. their nurse and goyerness, having
come 10 the mountains for the beGeht
OF hls little ones. He talked sometimes
with the ladies whom be knew, chatting
a good deal with Miss p, q plain,
sensible single woman.
One day the house was Ia an uproar.
Mr.. o. had walked up and down on
the piazza for half an hour during the
afternoon with the belle and had danced
with her in the evening. So much was
said about this incident that one rate
lady spoke 10 1.-THE coqnette." as they
called her, about her mIsdoings. When
The case was stated "the coquette"
opered her large eyes and gazed az her
