1--WE been awful busy, Eunice. Mrs.
Ainslee can tell you how busy I've
BEEN" she said, humbly, picking a
speck off her dress.
But you might have sent me a
postal card. 1t isn't so very long, l
know -four days"-she said to Mrs.
Ainslee, with an apologetic smile; "but
she never lets two days pass, and
worried till had to come home"
Mrs Ainslee tried to smile brightly
in reply; but the thought CT what the
next few minutes had in store for the
girl made fiat failure of the praise
worthy effort, seeing which Eunice
became grave again.
"Have you seen Mrs. Gildersleeve,
mother?" she asked.
Eyes; I've seen yer"
what did she say?"
my dear, she-she didn't say any
thing"
Eunice's face turned white.
Didn't say anything; not anything
about-the day after tomorrow"

steadily, determined to get the thing

"Then she doesn't wish me to comet
said Eunice, family, with a piteou'
glance from her mother to her friend
"She may have forgotten" said Mrs
Ainslee, soothingly. Don't take 1t Il
heart, my DEAR" for great tears wer,
gathering in the girls eyes and drop
ping noiselessly to the floor
Seeing that 1t was impossible to hide
her disappointment, Eunice lifted he
head and said, simply:
II had counted on it good deal"
The latter part of the conversation
had been carried on in the sitting
room, the sunshine having found it
way through the frost-bitten Madeir'
vines that curtained the porch.
Mrs. Ainslee now rose to go, no
without some resentment in her hear
against the woman who could thu
make plaything of a girls ambition
Eunice came forward to open tn
door for her, and the lady, anxious 4
bestow a crumb of comfort, laid he
hand gently upon the girls shoulder
Don't be discouraged, Eupice," sh
said; you are very young, my dear
and ones last opportunity has neve

The words had better effect thai
the speaker dared to hope for. Eunice'
face frightened perceptibly as sh

Miss Brown of Pittsield, Mass, is max
ing a fortune as a wood carver, or Wood
sculptor, as it is proper now to call the art
list who works in that material. In the first
place, she had a natural adaptation for
the work. In the next place, she trained
herself as thoroughly as q sculptor in
marble or painter ever did by patient
study and practice of years. Then her
shrewd business instincts led her to
make the acquaintance of the wealthy
city people who were building splendid
summer residences in the Berkshire hills.
She is occupied from year to year III
carving and decorating the interiors OF
these mansions.

New Zeaiand Innovation.

The first election of a woman to
the Office of mayor within the limits
of the British empire has taken
place. Mrs. Yates, the lady in ques-
ton, was elected by the ratepayers
of Onehunga, New Zealand, and has
been duly installed. Mrs. Yates
seems to have taken up the duties
of her Office with sublime confidence
in her abilities to discharge them
well. The retiring mayor, DR.. Es-
son, presented her with the gavel
and asked her to bear in mind the
motto on the back of her official
chair: BE just and fear not" Mrs.
Yates told him she did not need to
be reminded of the motto, as she
had already carried ht into effect in
her life. She asked if any man pres
eut could say that his home was not
better with wife IN it. It may be
there were men who felt otherwise,
but they discreetly kept still, and
Mrs. Yates triumphantly said that
the same was true of the city coun-
Gil. She reminded them that for
seventeen years they had tried gov
erning the city with men alone in
power without satisfactory results,
and promised them that things
should be different in the future.

Women may be interested to
know of the invasion by one of their
sex of new field of activity. The
invader is Miss Margaret Foley, of
New Brunswick, n. J. The new
field is stone quarry, which she
superintends.
City Treasurer James Nelson,
who is the owner of the quarry,
which is at the lower part of Burnet
street, is practical pailanthropist,
as well as man of means. The
problem of providing work for the
unemployed of New Brunswick has
been studied carefully by Mr.. Neil
son, and he finally concluded to
open his quarry to those who could
not get more congenial work than
breaking stone in winter to do.
Nearly sixty men were at work in
the quarry when q reporter visited
it day or two ago. At one side of
the quarry, overseeing the work,
was Miss Margaret Foley. She is a
tall, slender, pleasant-faced woman,
with keen twinkle in her bright
blue eyes which bespeaks her ready
Irish wit. The lines of her mouth
indicate the firmness which fits her
for her place of foreman. Although
about thirty years of age. she looks
much younger, but she calls herself
"a genuine old maid.
Miss Foley lives in little brick
cottage just in front of the quarry.
She was born in New Brunswick,
and until the quarry was opened
supported herself by working in one
of the factories.
The reporter was taken through
the quarry by Miss Foley, who ex-
planned the way the work was done.
Don't call me forewoman or SUI
perintendent, said she. II will tell
you just what do. keep record
of the men engaged in the work, and
watch them to see that the stone is
broken up to the proper size, which
judge by passing the stone through
the iron ring. The stone is shoveled
in half square yard measure in the
shape of an open box, and credit
each man with the amount earned.
Sometimes some of the men put
large pieces in, but, of course, take
them out, and they have to break
them up to the required size. Real
ly there is not so much to do, al
though it is busier than we thought
it would be. When the quarry was
first opened only a few men were put
of E,I& IN n
gang. Mr.. Nelson asked me to
take charge OF the work. You see
we rent the cottage of him, and it is
very convenient fur me, did not
expect there would be so many men
working, but do not propose to give
it up now so long as can attend to
it,"
Miss Foley said the men make
from seventy-fve cents to one dollar
and twenty-five cents per day. They
are paid one dollar and twenty
five cents per square yard, and, it
they work brisky, can break from
one to one and a aalf square yards a
day. The men at work In the quarry
at present turn out about forty to
fifty square yards day. AS yet Mr..
Nelson has no sale for the broken
stone, which is, consequently, fast
accommodating. The men are paid off
every Saturday by Miss Foley. who
is kept well supplied with funds by
Mr.. Nelson. Occasionally, when
the men are in need of money,
something is advanced to them on
account.-N. Y. Sun.
