PATS MISTAKE.
A Curious Blunder and What Came OF

Il Curious BIunder and What Came OF
It.
Two cousins, whose appearance.
names. and handwriting were similar.
once found employment in a lumber
camp in the Rockies. One night all
were interested in game of cards, and
were urging Pat lone of the cousins)
to join. Pat had just sat down to
write to his girl, but as he was the
champion player of the camp they
would take no excuse. His cousin Of
fered to write the letter for him, and
asked what he should say. Pat told
him to write what he would himself
say under the same circumstances.
which the cousin proceeded to do, end
ing with. an urgent proposal of mar
rage, to take place at an early date.
When the game was finished, all hur-
ried to bed. The subject of the letter
did not again recur to Pats mind till
he received an answer containing an
acceptance, also stating that the time
designated would hurry his sweet
heart somewhat in her preparations,
but that she would comply with his re-
quest and come at once. Needless to
say, Pat was dumfounded at the con-
tents of his letter, aud started to find
his cousin, who, when confronted
with the question: "What did
you say in the letter." in
dulged In roars of laughter Pat
handed him his letter. upon reading
which the cousin realized he had got
Pat into q bad scrape. Later, as he
heard Pat disclaim any intention of
marrying that little roly-poly," he
felt his own position was still worse, as
he had brought it all about; and it
dawned upon him it was not so funny
after all The only way of escape he
could plan was to meet the oncoming
stage on which she was a passenger at
the nearest town, and by his most per-
suasive eloquence and his three years
hard earnings persuade her that there
had been a mistake, and induce her to
return. With much trepidation, he
went the following Wednesday to
Helena, and arrived in time to tie his
horse to a neighboring tree when the
stage drove up The passengers rapid
ly alighted, the second to step down
being trim-looking young lady.
He soon heard his own name spoken,
and was signaled by friend, who pre-
sented him to the handsome young
lady as the gentleman she was inquir-
ing for. With a joyous look she ex-
tended her hand, which the cousin rap
turously shook She treasured him by
remarking "he had not changed any"
In less than an hour he had convinced
her that there was no need of further
delaying their happiness, had secured
a minister. and had the knot tied-he
perfectly satisfied with the turn affairs
had taken, and she wholly unconscious
that she had married her supposed low
er's ouble.-Tbe Voice.

THE RAGE FOR ROSETTES.
How They Ars Employed In the Trimming
of Summer Dresses

How They Arr Employed In the Trimming;
of Summer Dresses
Rosettes and knots play an impor-
tant part in summer dress. They are
used to give an accent of form or of
color or both, and they are placed to
'tell on" costume with o1Ierful eff
feet.
l have seen the skirt of n dinner
gown trimmed with nothing but three
rossttes, and yet it looked elaborate.
The gown was of MORE silk and these
rosettes, of velvet, were placed to make
a diagonal line across the front; one
nigh toward the left side, one in the
middle, and one near the bottom on
the right, and the effect was as great
as if d continuous garland crossed the
front
But these rosettes are something
more than mere loops of ribbon ar
ranged in circles together. such as the
uninitiated usually understand by
rosette. They are made with an art
quite new; they are indeed nearly
flowers II would be impossible for
mere layman to explain; only an art
list whose fine fingers have learned to
fashion such things knows how it is
done, and she could not tell any body
else.
All / know is that these s-they
are not always loops-of velvet or silk
or chiffon that ray out from a center,
manipulated, till they are as sensitive
and instinct with life as If they had
grown.
Sometimes the ends elongated and
roll under like the petals of lily; or
else they are triangular; to fit in a cor
ner as at the neck of a jacket. with a
crimped ruffle look around the apex and
long frond falling out into each of
the long corners; or may be they are
five-rayed like rose; or eight-starred;
or have a curious bi-symmetry like the
or child.

LETTER WRITING.

Hints Regarding the Proper Wording OF
business and Social Correspondence.
An old-fashioned accomplishment and
one that has sadly degenerated since
the days of Lady Mary Wortley Monta-
que, whose letters are among the finest
in literature, is that of letter writing.
Many a society lady writes a letter
that a school girl should be ashamed
of. / do not now refer to the contents
as regards their interest and beauty of
expression. SO much as to the simple,
recognized forms of letters of business,
friendship or ceremony.
Certain fashions of dating letter as
well as styles in letter paper change so
frequently that one who has something
more serious in life than fashion to at
tend to may well be excused for being
ignorant of them, but every pupil of
public or private school should be care
fully instructed in certain forms that
they will make no mistake.
For instance. to commence a letter
Friend Mollie." stamps the writer at
once as ignorant of the usages of good
society. IL you are not on sufficiently
"Dear Harold" then write Dear Miss
Smith" or Dear Mr.. Brown" II the
acquaintance is very slight indeed,
prefix "My." which is more formal
"Yours sincerely is safe signature
where anything denoting a degree of
intimacy and affection is prohibited.
In writing business communication,
write out the name and address in full,
jus. as you would on the outside of an
and then Dear SIR or Madam I'M
derneath. Sign yourself Yours truly"
and if you are a lady write beneath
your full name thus, MARY L. john
son." but do not prefix Mrs. if you
are married Then il it be necessary
for purposes of further communication.
for your correspondent to know the
prefix, write in the lower lefthand cor
ner:
Address Mrs ii. T. Johnson. " with
street and number.
In addressing an envelope to a mar
ried lady. honor her by giving her the
initials of her husband, if you give any.
but do not write on it her given
name unless she is a widow. Excep-
tons may be made to this rule where a
married lady writes for publication
under her own name.
Never begin the letter if it can be
avoided with the pronoun IL" and
never eliminate it in other parts of the
letter. 1t may be permissible in a
diary, but never in letter to say
Went skating this morning" Do not
use dashes for punctuation marks; if
you are ignorant of the rules of punct-
uation, study them, or at least contine
yourself to the use of commas and
periods. which any one should be able
to use instinctively.-N. Y. Recorder

To any one for whom machinery has
D fascination there is nothing stranger
than the first glimpse Of elephants at
work about 1t. Amid the kissing swish
OF betting, the buzz of saws, the multi
tudinous separate rattles mingled into
q universal roar and vibrating through
a big saw1nill, the ponderous figures of
these slow paced helpers present curl
Gus sight. One elephant places the log
upon a movable platform to be squared,
while another waits with restless eyes
and Tapping ears until the saw has done
its work, and then, taking a twist in an
attached rope, slips the loop Of it deity
over a big tusk and leads the log away
Another piles timber, lifting the long
piece between tusks and trunk, and
pushing it into place with the latter if
the pile is low, or with a broad fore
head if the height demands it, Fetching
and carrying, lifting and stacking, push
ing and pulling, these docile and pa
tient giants do their work without COM
plant, week in and week out. Some
times the mahout (oozee it is in Bur
mese) walks beside the beast, sometimes
he sits on it's big neck or broad back
But his indolent figure never seems to
be necessary, for one cannot watch an
elephant at work very long without ac-
curing the conviction, however mis-
taken, that the intelligent direction of
his labor is all his own.=Century.
