glorious sunshine of promises and possibil-

walk home. Somebody handsome, gentle.
and hopeful. trembling ut her touch. and the
brooks singing madrigals for them. and the
hemlocks waving triumphant plumes for
them, and the little community smiling on
them.
Still the beat of that bell in minor. Il
was like a crystal of sound-so clear and so
full OF magical pictures. She was standing
at the altar in that little church. Jack had
hold OF her hand, and she felt his tremble.
She could hear Molly's voice in the choral
hymn ring out above all the rest as they
walked down the aisle-married. There was
the crowd of villagers on the little green
where the vehicles were tied. The air was
heavy with locust blossoms. Squire Burch-
ard was whispering something in her ear
again and kissing her on the forehead.
All the dark years of disappointment.
misery and shame that came afterward in the
torrent of time seemed now to settle out of
sight in this still pool of retrospection. Her
consciousness was pulsing in A minor. Some
thing of the regenerative power of the spring
penetrated her heart. There had been mis-
take somewhere. She would not have the
ghost of reality-tne only real thing was that
jubilant present into which she had lapsed,
with its glad bell summoning her.
81 must get WE'LL" she murmured. 1.-THE
earth is astlr. It's wicked to be living here.

spring calling me. l was born in April. l

when heard the bell. 1t sounded like your
voice; we've been wicked and wretched. 1
know, but it's all over. What's the use of
quarreling any more? See it's spring again.
I'm so tired of lying here. If you only knew
how ache and how these people look at me
you'd come and take me away.
know Tvs been bad, but you are strong.
Don't you remember how you carried me
over the Sawmill river on the stones? Dear
Jack, I've remembered every word you said
to me. You thought didn't, but did. Don't
you know what you said when we got back
from the church? My darling, I've got YOU
now, and iflove is strength I'm going to keep
you all eternity Jack, don't believe 'em if
they tell you lies about me. It's dream.
We're just the same as we always were. Can't
you turn me over SO can see your face?''
The young doctor, who was standing at the
bedside, laid his book down and put his arm
under her. 1t wasn't done very tenderly.
She made weak clutch at him. "Oh, Jack,
you hurt me. am awfully sore. Don't look
at me that way. I'll pick up. It's only my
sickness. feel better to-day. Do you hear
that bell?-hark! You'll have to hurry, Jack.
Well be late, and Molly's SO particular!

The Use of Tobacco
Among Women

Pessimists, chronic grumblers, and few
people whose associations and surroundings
have evidently given color to their views. says
the Ledger, have been for some time bewail-
ing the alleged fact that there is a great in
crease among women in the habit of smoking,
and that the cigarette was part Of the daily
indulgence Of very large class of women in
very good society.
1t is unfortunate indeed when people take
the results of their immediate personal obser-
vations as a scale by which to measure the
acts and principles of general society and the
world at large. 1t seems to go without say
ing that persons who send out these low-spir-
lted and wailful screeds must have extremely
Bohemian associates and intimates, whose
habits would scarcely be recognized or ap-
proved by well-bred people. True, some women
IN cultivated circles may occasionally indulge
In cigarette. or may smoke them regularly,
for the matter of that; but this does not by
any means prove that the feminine element In
refined circles indulge in such habits. As well
argue that because some world-renowned dip
lomat with an ancestral name is taken home
in a condition OF hopeless intoxication all
men are drunkards. Such statement really
proves nothing, except that the one who
makes it must have very limited or unfort-
unate range of vision.
The truth of the matter is that there is
nothing like as much smoking among women
as there was half a century ago. An eminent
physician, who has practiced for fifty years
in various parts of the country says that forty
years ago it was not an unusual thing for the
aged grandmother to solace herself with a
pipe. Sitting in the chimney-corner. she en-
joyed her tobacco morning, noon and night,
and not infrequently when anything per-
picked or worried her. Comparatively few
old women smoke nowadays. and it would
not be at all difficult to prove by statistics
that the habit among women is steadily de-
creasing.
1t might be good thing for these bugbear
hunters to furnish facts and figures, and. If
put to the test, be able to prove their state
ments. There are few things more harmful
than an assertion that has a little grain of
truth to build on. The pathetic complaint
that women are going to the bad is worthy
only of evil-minded people and those who
may perchance feel willing and anxious to
drag somebody down to their own level.
They may possibly have seen a cigarette
smoked in the dwelling of some respectable
acquaintance, but the challenge is made TO
furnish evidence that these are other than
exceptional cases, or that the wives and
daughters of well-bred families are addicted
to this habit. Those who cannot prove things
ought to be a little careful about statements
they make; but it is to the irresponsible
class-those with dyspetic minds and bodies
that nine-tenths of the damaging rumors
about women NAV be traced.
The Washington times., 1894-03-23
Women and Fashions,

During the social reign of Catherine de
Medicis the ladies never washed their faces.
There was an idea that water injured the
complexion, and the face was wiped off with
rag dipped in milk.
High-heeled shoes first appeared in the
reign of Louis XIV. The heels were often five
inches in height, and walking was thus made
very difficult and painful, but the sacrifice
was cheerfully made.
The '!hedgehog" came into style In 1878.
The entire mass OF hair was frizzed from roots
to tips, was punched up on top of the head
and kept in place by ribbons. This Hottentot
style lasted ten years.
In the sixteenth century the faces Of ladies
were covered with sort of enamel. 1t was
brittle, and the wearers were obliged to re-
serve fixed expression of countenance to
keep 1t from cracking.
Handkerchiefs were brought into general
use during the Empire in France. The En-
press Josephine had bad teeth, and when
talking or laughing always held her hand
kerchief before her mouth.
Frankish women had only one pomade, a
grease proceeding from the skin of sheep and
clinging to its wool. 1t had a nauseous odor,
but was singularly efficacious in giving
smoothness to the skin.
