DoREE FABLE AND BLUE CASHMERE Gowns.
clever little lady wishes to reap the best
possible benefit from her considerate
present to her dear husband, she must
never let him see it until it is done, for
man is not constituted like woman,
nor is he gifted with the power Of judg
ing from a few pieces Of basted up
cloth what the finished garment viii
look like. Rather let the glory of it
burst upon him at once, and be sure to
put a Henry Clay Perfecto Sublina IN
the pocket and two matches.
And then let the dear and unsophis-
ticated wife put her pretty blue cash
mere gown on (the men all like blue
dresses), the new one, with the gold
and blue brocade under part, with pep
lum drapings of dark blue cashmere,
and his purse becomes hers. with all it

air of demure reflection over the best
way to decorate the chandeliers with

Hours slipped away, but no helping

broken by a constant procession OF ter

fortunately enough had fallen directly
across the path used by the terrarin
to go to the bay. Basil would select

at the objective point. Quickly taking
his penknife Basil scratched sketch

hard shell of a well built diamond

spot where he was lying. Then point

An aged sea captain whose home is
in this city is troubled with 4 peculiar
ity of vision which is common to all
shippers and ships officers of high rank
who have had long experience ON the
sea. In this particular instance the
captain complains that through long
use of the telescope, the quadrant and
other instruments used in making cal
culations at sea the sight has been
drawn from the left eye into the one
which peers so eagerly through the in
struments. He says he can discern OBJ
jects at an enormous distance with his
right eye, but is scarcely able to read
with his left. The tendency Of nature
to adjust itself to conditions is height
ened in these cases by the bright glare
from the waters, which make the strain
on the eye especially trying.-Philadel

Mr.. Miller's early aspirations, and the

Chicago Tribune. A copy was made
and here it is:
In a sequestered spot on the shores
of Chesapeake bay Basil Beresford, a
young artist, was sketching one day in
the spring of IS. The bright color
ings were being cleverly applied to the
canvas when all at once the artist
ceased his work. The hoOf of some
animal could be heard striking the
trampled turf. 1t was muffied, but
also a quick sound which accompanied
the rougher sound of breathing. Turn
ing aside Basil witnessed a curious
sight. A fat terrapin scampering Ser
the lawn for dear life was being hotly
pursued by a sturdy fisherman and his
daughter. The animal was soon cap
tured and stored away in the well
filed game bag of mis- captors. Then
Basil's attention was drawn as If by q
magnet to Phyllis Marmaduke, daugh-
ter of Harold Marmaduke, the famous
hunter who was the terror of the ter
rapin for miles around. Phyllis W. S

eyes, bright as the dew. and her golden

Basil's work for that day was over.
He could sketch no more. He could
scarcely move. His blood began to
frappe, and suddenly the truth flashed
over him.
Basil Beresford was in love.

Basil stood meath q sturdy oak NOV
ing his pencils in a mechanical sort of
way. Ever and anon he would leave
his canvas, walk to the spot where
Phyllis Marmaduke had stood the day
before and gaze into the grass as If
searching for a treasure. While in one

THE GOTHAM MILLIONAIRE.
The Fuss He Makes in Moving His
Household Around.

hVuscHOlu AROUND.
When great millionaire moves
nowadays the event takes on a charac-
ter that is not distinguished by Jeffer-
sonian simplicity, says the New York
Sun. When Mr.. Webb gets tired of
Vermont and takes his family to New
port or Narragansett, or Mr.. Wander
bilt moves from one of his country
houses to another, or the Astors leave
the Hudson for Rhode Island, the
sightseers are interested Mr.. Webb
has one house at Newport and another
at Narragansett, which is across the
bay. The Narragansett house is
used for governesses, servants and
children, and is convenient place to
stop when one of the Webb yachts
runs across from Newport.
When great millionaire moves the
family is usually stored away in q
special car which is hitched to the tail
end of an express train and shifted
from one road to another, so that no
changes are necessary. The stable is
transported with the coachman driving
a four-in-hand loaded down with stable
trappings. Following him is another
man with a victoria and brougham
swathed in clothes to protect them
from the dust, and dog carts and
village carts and phaetons, driven by
the stable boys, bring up the rear with
hunters and saddle horses. The big
and little yachts are towed along from
one place to another in a similar fash
ion, to the delight of the sight-seers,
and discussions upon the wealth of
the millionaire are stimulated all along
the route.
