She made me promise not to tell that for it

had belonged to the grandmother of its pres
ent owner, and as strong to-day as it was
seventy years ago. The clever girl gave it
three coats OF white enamel paint, then gilded
the two balls terminating the Side posts. On
the top slat across the back she painted La
France roses, her fayorites; on the middle
slat she inscribed her name. Mary" in an
up-and-down English writing, and on the bot
ton slat were old-fashioned pinks, her grand
mothers posies. The cushion of the seat was
pink India silk, covered with pattern of
delicate green leaves tied on with ribbons of
two colOrs. The autograph and the blossoms
stamped the chair with unique individual
ity, and it was altogether quite as fetching
as those seen across the water.

GAMES FOR ALL HALLOWEEN
Pretty Conceits to BE Carried Out BY
Young People.
ELEMENT OF LOVE MUST ENTER
Effects That Can Be Produced By Calcium
Light, Color Slides and Little Histrionic
Talent-Tableaux of Fortune, Cupid's
Dream, and the Years Forecast

very new Halloween play, and one which
will be carried out most beautifully even to
its most minute detail in a very fashionable
set Of New York young people, is a "game"
called the tableaux OF fortune. And let it be
stated right here that all the entertainments
on Halloween night are called games, al
-hough they may not partake OF the nature OF
play, nor yet be intended for the juvenile
members of the family.
After the audience is seated little tickets are
distributed until each has slip Of paste
board. Upon the slip there is the date, the
initials Of the hostess. blank space, some lit
tie ornamentation Like a bit Of hand decora-
ton and number.
In front OF the audience hangs a curtain,
while palms at either side. and just visible
rearing their heads behind it, prepare the
guests for something every fine to come.
There is a tinkle Of a bell and number one
appears with big figure, mysteriously low
cred over the upper edge Of the curtain.
''Who holds number one?" asks the mis-
tress Of ceremonies.
"My card is number one, replies some one
say Miss Brown.
swell, Miss Brown, I have the honor to an
Movnee that the coming tableaux viii reveal
your fortune for the coming year. Note care
fully the picture. 1t will be repeated in your
own life within a tWelYe-month. Let the
curtain risel"
AS the curtain is pulled away there stands
revealed bride, in full bridal costume. There
is the trailing highRecked gown Of white, the
veil the orange blossoms, the prayer-book-
nothing is lacking. OF course the bride is
very beautiful, and the tableau is a pretty
one, without considering the Joy which must
have been experienced by Miss Brown at the
thought Of herself so beautifully arrayed

beautiful order, and when at 8 O'Clock some
body knocked At the door. abe said Come

plain brown dress and with a shawl over her
head responded. She had q skin like the
heart of a jessamIne flower and the sublime
brow of the Sistine Madonna. But when she
spoke. though low and gentle, her voice was
a musical suggestion Of only East New York.
Her name was Emily Anderson. Emily"
she said. and she was paper box
maker. living Just around the corner with her
widowed mother. and she had heard all about
the Halloween entertainment, and she wanted
TO know if anybody could come who was re-
spectacle and knew how to behave.
Yes; won't you Gomez" said the reading
room girl,

moment. And maybe I'll get some other
girls TO come and young feller or two; but
you needn't be afraid of any scrappin' going

The reading-room girl said she knew she
could. Then they both began talking as if
they were old friends and Emily told the
secret that was weighing on her mind
She had broken with her sweetheart, who,
though not exactly tough" had quick
temper. and was given TO occasional "sprees. )"
'.To tell you the truth" admitted the lovely
madonna frankly. THAT'S just why want to

Then Emily hoped that ifany Of the "boys"

Then she went down the steps smiling sus-

BE SURE TO PAY THE RIGHT MAN.
The Fruit-stand Merchants Love for a
Stroll in Business Hours.


Stroll in Business Hours
The italian fruit dealers who keep the little
stands on the numerous corners throughout
the city have many peculiar habits, the most
noticeable of which is not being near their
stands when one wants to purchase fruit If
the stand is on the southeast corner its pro-
prietor is almost certain TO be on the north
west corner. At any rate it is about ten
chances to one that if purchaser wants
change or has any question to ask he Will
have to look for the Italian in way that
makes him conspicuous and arouses the sus-
picion of the policeman, bootblaek, and news
dealer near by, says the New York Sun.
Then after the purchaser has about decided
that some charitable institution has estab-
lished this stand for the purpose of getting
rid of good fruit for nothing, the pantata Of
the stand appears with a grin Of apology.
After getting the customers money he disap-
pears around the corner or evaporates, or
something, until the next customer comes
along and nearly waits his legs of standing
around.
The other afternoon plain. ordinary man,
who was making for downtown Third ave-
nue. train, stopped at a fruit stand near the
corner. Piles of pears marked .'3 for TO- lay
in their little paper nests. Ii was very dusty
and warm. The newsboy cried .'EXtreel" and
the bootblack said ''Shineumupn in atwangy
voice. A piano organ across the street
drowned the jingle OF the car bells with the
strains of Sweet Marie" The man pulled
out dime. picked up three pears and looked
for the proper person TO give the dime to; he
didn't know whether to leave it among the
pears or not, but had about decided to do so,
when grinning Italian, who was evidently
the owner of the stand. appeared, as though
from coal-hole in the pavement, and ex-
tended his hand for the money. The man
buried his teeth into one OF the pears. drop
ping the dime into the Italians hand, and
started across the street.
The organ switched from "Sweet Marie to
'The Bowery." The man reachedthe entrance
to the elevated stairs, when he was caught by
the sleeve. and turning he beheld an italian
who looked about as other Italians who sell
fruit, black boots, and grind organs.
You no pay for da fruita," 4" he said, hold
ing on to the mans sleeve.
''Yes, did, said the man. 'I gave It to
you or your partner, or somebody. Here, III
go back and show you" seeing that there
was no escape unless he gave up another
dime.
That's the fellow paid said the man on
arriving at the stand.
"Oh!'' said the fruit dealer, ''him no part
ner. He eolleeta for da organ"
The man gave up another dime. said some
thing cut loud, and rushed for the train. The
organ played After the Ball - and the pro-
prietor of the fruit stand went across the
street and sat in the bootblack's chair until
he saw policeman moving toward his stand.
