| sidered IL undesirable that the ceremony
should be too long postponed; SO good Mr..
Turner tied the knot, and the young
couple have been living at Elmhurst ever
since in seclusion which dare say Is
agreeable TO both Of them, but Of which
the country does not altogether approve.
Jim tells me that the debt Of honor be-
queathed to his wife has already been
paid Of and that he hopes in the course Of
q few years to be able to move to Stainc3
Court, which is at present shut up. In
the meantime he is very well satisfied
with his less pretentious abode; and in
deed, II a man were TO be condemned to
live in the country from years end to
years end, don't know that he could
find pleasanter place to live in than
Elmhurst, while am persuaded that he
would search in vain for fellow exile
more amiable and charming than Lady
Bracknell.
The other Lady Bracknell-the WIS.,
countess Of that name-has quite recently
decided to put an end to all confusion OF
identity between her sister-in-law and
herself by changing her condition. Dur
ing the first few months Of her widow
hood she resided with her father =
touching spectacle to the neighborhood,
as she drove about, with lowered eyelids,
in her weeds. Whether after a time she
became bored with the respectful sym
pathy of the neighborhood or whether she
found herself better of than she had an
ticipated do not know; but she moved
somewhat suddenly to London, set up
house there, discarded Grape in favor Of
pale gray and began to dispense hos
pitality of which many people were found
ready to avail themselves. Rumor has 1t
that, on recovering her freedom, she
made desperate bid for the Beauchamp
property and that the fortunate owner
thereof met her advances by requesting
her ip so many words to omit him from
the list of her acquaintance; but do
not believe this story. Hilda has expe-
rience enough to be aware that flirting
with married woman and espousing her
after she has become widow are two
very different things, and it is not likely
that SO clear sighted an observer would
have wasted time and energy upon for
lorn hope. As matter of fact, she has
done far better for herself than she would
have done by marrying Beauchamp; for
she is about to be led to the altar by the
eldest son Of a duke, and | hear tnat
the bridegroom's relatives have received
her with marked cordiality. Her career,
80 far as it has gone, may serve as a
warning to impulsiye young men and as
an encouragement to the daughters Of the
clergy.

THE END.
Mr. wallenbar,. RemarIable Rur,

A rug 10 by Is feet, made up Of the fur
Of thirteen wild animals, is now in the pos
session of W. H. WalleDbar. Mr.. Wallen-
bar keeps his rug, which cost him 1880,
locked up in the vault in his office, and
takes 1t ont only occasionally to exhibit il
to particular friends
The rug was made in Moscow and took
one man Two years to put the pieces to-
gether. Finished the rug has the appear
ance of a rich mosaic, the deep yellow Of
the tiger woven into the coal black of the
South sea seal in diamond shaped blocks.
The center is made up of three rings Of a
diameter of twenty inches, the patchlke
diamond pieces radiating from a circular
tuft of monkey skin and bordered by rim
Of otter. The groundwork Of the entire
piece is in monkey skin. Outside the large
center pieces are two rows Of circles. The
outside contains fourteen circles six inches
in diameter, made Of mink, Angora and
otter. The inner rows contain sixteen cir.
cles of Russian sable and monkey skin.
At either end and on the sides is q
6-inch selyage of Russian silver fox hide,
and twenty silver gray fox tails adorn the
ends. In the make up pieces Of the furs
from the Russia sable, Persian lamb, An
CORA goat, China goat, mink, otter, South sea
seals, monkey, Thibet lamb, muskrat, wea-
sci, leopard and the Russia silver gray fox
are used.-Chieago News-Record

The gown is of stone gray cloth over
tartan velvet, the seallops bordered with
narrow band of astrakhan. The back of
the waist is seamless, and in very many of
the newest gowns there are no side forms
at all, and where they fasten is mystery
to the uninitiated, though have shrewd
suspicion that it is under the left arm. 1t
is told that in times long past the Spanish
ladies used to consider it vulgar and a
mark Of low origin to require any fullness
of the dress over the bust, and they were
said to wear leaden plates to diminish
the breadth of their chests, and the tend
ency seems to set strangely in that direc-
tion now.
There are many little usages of social
manners taught us through the medium of
don'ts. There should be a volume of
don'ts for the instruction of ladies in dress,
and one of the first should be, Don't con-
strict your chest, whatever fashion may
dictate. Another should be, Don't follow
a fashion unless you are sure that it will
not bring out all your worst points or in
jure your health.

How history repeats itself we need only
hg)ance at the passing fashions to see, and
while we might have some reasons to OBJ
ject to wearing old styles over again we
still have others to be thankful that we
are thus enabled to Gull the choicest ideas

Is not exactly artistic. To dress artistic
ally is easy. All one wants to do is to
have everything in perfect keeping. When
that is not done the richest and most elab-
crate costumes fail Of their effect.
The dressing Of the hair has very great
deal to do with the becomingness Of the
whole of lady's toilet. With the pres
ent style of wearing soft fluff Of hair over
the brows or few short curls all the hard
lines are softened, and almost any kind Of
headgear can be worn, and the softened
and refined effect of the broken lines reaches
indefnably through the whole system of
woman's apparel. The face is framed like
a picture in the loveliest manner, and its
grace and softness pervade the whole.
One may know this by occasionally meet
ing woman whose hair is combed smoothly
back, leaving the forehead bare. There is
no bonnet or hat that can look well under
such circumstances, and not only the face,
but the whole woman, will have hard and
unwomanly look. She may partially hide
1t by a hat which covers her forehead, but
there is still that uncompromisingly hard
outline.

Madeline Merli, the Italian actress, ap-
peared at the Metropolitan Theater last
night in play adapted from the text of
Emil Zola, entitled "The Story of a
Kiss" 1t should be called the story of
illicit love and double murder. 1t is
really an example of the French way of
constructing a tragedy out of raw ma
terials of the commonest kind. It is
as lugubrious a tale as can we'll be I'M
agined, and the company by its intense
repression managed to stIhe what brilli-
ancy and thrilling character there may be
in it. We can fancy it in the hands of a
stronger troupe being made so vividly
horrible as to thrill and make
one catch his breath. 1t is, in
brief, the story of an artist loving
the young wife of petulant and petted
son of a retired shopman. He treats the
woman with the fretful coldness that will
break heart sooner than studied cruelty.
The woman yields TO her temper, and the
two drown the husband, and thus throw

They continue to live in her house. and
after time she is led TO consent 10 their
