A Pink and Blue Bedroom

had set my heart upon having such
an apartment, and fortunately the paper
of my room was a neutral tint, writes
Laurie Duckett in the January Ladies'
Home Journal. Not being satisfied with
the border, 1 bought two pieces of de-
cided blue paper at a cost OF 40 cents.
This cut in half. the paper being too
wide to suit my idea. [ then pasted it
over the old border, being careful that
the edge of my blue paper should touch
the edge of the ceiling, and this l fin
ished with narrow gilt border which I
pasted on the ceiling. A carpet COW

procured from the manufacturers
plain bedstead, bureau, wardrobe, with
nicKei-plated knobs and locks, and two

painting or finishing of any kind. I
gave each piece in the set two coats of
/ blue paint and coat of varnish, and
had the glass IN the bureau changed to
French plate. An old wicker rocking
chair was painted white and
ornamented with pink and blue
ribbons. The bedspread and bolster case
were made from ordinary 12-cent scrim,
having baby ribbon run through the
lace stripes. The stationary washstand
was hidden by common three-fold
screen. The covering for this, as was
also the window drapery and chair

lamp, made from crinkled paper, the

the shades of pink and blue. The

for the circumstances to which she NAV
doom her unborn children, she is an
incarnation of animal selfshness.
Without stopping to analyze the
sources of its dIsapproval, this is I'M
dOubtedly an instructive motive for the
persistent cold shouldering which soci-
ETY. gives girls who degrade themselves
by a mesalliance. 1t is obvious to
every one that she has sinned against
herselff, her family, her class and the
highest instincts of her sex. Women
have no pardon for such sinners, for
they see not only the present wrong;
they look forward slso to the possible
children of such au union. They under
stand that they will have to suffer
all the limitations of poverty when they
ought to have had all the advantages of
wealth. They may possibly inherit
tleir fathers vulgar tastes and tend.
erc;es, or they may have to endure the
misery OF fine tastes without any oppor-
tunity to crafty them. For this pre-
meditated sin against motherhood, and
against posterity, good women find it
hard to tolerate the offender; for they
know that woman's honor is in her
husband. and that her social station and
her social life are determined b his.
When a girl is guilty of mesalliance,
1t is sometimes said in eXtenuation,
that "she has married a man OF noble
dispositions; and that it is better to
marry q poor ignorant man, with
noble disposition, than rich man who
Is selfish and vicious" If the alter
native were positive one,yes, but there
is no need to make a choice between
these characters. Men of refined habits
and manners and good education may
also have noble dispositions; and poor
ilI-bred men have not always noble
ones; at any rate, a good woman will
always find in her own class, just as
good men as she will fird in a class be-
low her own.
All this danger is evident to parents
They know how fleeting passion and
fancy are; and they rightly conceive
that it is their duty by all possible means
to prevent their daughter making an
unworthy marriage. How far parents
may lawfully interfere is question not
yet decided; nor yet easy to decide.
The American idea of marriage Is
theoretically that every soul finds it's
companion soul and lives happily ever
after; and in this romantic search
for companion soul young girls are

ADONIRANI'S CALF.

My caff stepped on one of Micajal
Halpin's chickens an kilt it.
The calf wuz a good morril caff, an
until this thing happened, never a word
had been breathed agin his character.
AS fur as know, the catf had the re-
spect of the whole community, an was
esteemed an loved by all who seen him.
An it has allus been my belief that
that calf wen he stepped on that chick.
en- was as inherent as newborn babe.
Whatever can be said about the calf I
shall always hold that his heart was
pure.
But Micajah came over an mourned
for his chicken. l tried to comfort him,
but he didn't want no comfort. He
wanted damages, an said that L mus
pay for the chicken am kill the caff.
He SAID SIGH dangerous animal in the
community was public danger, an
oughter be stamped out.
tried to tell him the CATS motives
were good, that his intentions were up
right. an that he he'd no personal NAL
ice nor nothin' agin the chicken.
But Micajah swore that the calf was
guilty Of the murder of that chicken.
an that if upheld him in it 1 was a
pardner of his crime; an that mus
pay for the chicken an kill the calf.
top him the chicken was trespassing
on my property at the time he met his
death. an no law in the LAM. even if he
took the case way up to the s'preme
court, would give him cent of dam
ages, an if he didn't b'leive it he might
try an see. top him, too, that
would purtect my caff with my own
life. an any one who kilt that inherent
catf had got to kill me first. ~
Micajah fired up, an we had a fight,
an sence then Micajah's nose has never
been as straight as it was afore, an one
of his ribs is cracked.
Wall, a great crowd gathered roun'
from all parts of the village to see the
fight, an part took sides with me, an
part took sides with Micajah. is
Purity soon the whole town wuz
divided into what was called "Caffites,'
an "Chickenites." Elder Rawlinson
mentioned the subjec' in church, in his
sermon, in SIGH way that we could see
that he was Cafflte.
This made all the Chickenite brethren
mad. They said they wouldn' hev an
elder who had no more sense than he,
an they asked him to resign.
All US Caffites then came to his sup
port, an asked him to stay. an passed
resolutions applaudin' his ''great judg.
ment, his excellent sense, am his self
sacrificing piety.''
The choir was divided into Caffites
: and Chiekenites, an they wouldn't sine
together. Four of the young men an
gals in the choir was engaged, but nj

MARITAL MESALLIAHCES.
Hrs. AMELIA BARR'S TIMELY WORDS
ON A VITAL TOPIC.
MARRIAGE BENEATH STATION

An Unequal Marriage Not Only
the Most Fatal BIunder of
Life, but 1t Is Also the Most
Common Onc-Ihe Effect or
MesaIliances on Both Men and
Women.
Correspondence Of the Globe. Copyright
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-lf there Is any
mistake most fatal to young mans or
n girl'S future, it is that supreme act OF
social destruction called meSalliance.
Indeed, it is not meas urable by any of
the usual conditions of life, and death
itself would be a kindness. compared
with the long misery of some kinds of
mesallianceS. They may arise from in
capabilities of birth, differences III relig-
ious faith, or great discrepancies III age;
but whatever their occasion. they are
always far-reaching and irretrieraole
mistakes, the mistake par excellence or
any life.
An unequal marriage is not only the
most fatal biunder of life, it is also the
most common one; and although it is
not very easy for man to ruin himself
with a single act, a foolish marriage will
afford him at least one decided way. In
regard to mems mesallianceS tEay can
not be said to be specially the tenpta-
ton of youth. Foolish old men who
marry their cooks, and foolish young
men who burden themselves with some
Casino divinity, keep up very steady
average. But the young mans mistake
is much the worst of the two; for he has
his whole life before him, and he has
probably made no provision against
such social suicide.
If an old man marries beneath his
station and culture, he believes he is
getting the wife he most desires; and If
he is disappointed, he is at any rate
near the end of life, and he either has
no children TO suffer from his folly. or
they have already grown beyond its
most painful reach. But young man
who binds himself to a woman who Is
every way beneath his own station,
education and professional ambition. is
in different case. In very short time
the disilluSion of those senses begins
under which he permitted mere physi-
cal beauty to blind him: and he knows
that, as far as his future progress is
concerned, he has put milestone about
his neck.
The effect of a social mesalliance on
girl is still worse. In the first place, it
ought to be so; for she has to sin against
the natural instinct of good woman,
which is always to marry ABOVE herself
an instinct which is both physiologic-
ally and socially noble. For woman
is less than woman who does not con-
slider the consequence of marriage, and
provide in every way possible to her the
best father of her offspring. And
if she marries beneath herself socially,
the almost certain presumption is
that the social status of her husband is
the measure of his intellectual abilities,
and of his personal refinement also.
And when woman considers herself
only in her marriage, and has no care

To gain Il smile from such vision.

Still Hope for a League.

The LIGHT mentioned the fact
some time ago that a meeting was
to be held in San Antonio, on Feb
ruary 81, for the purpose of organ
izing a Texas League Of Baseball
clubs. This meeting did not take
place, as the proposed league was
to be an amateur organization, and
most of the cities Of Texas are OPP
posed to amateur ball.
The cities of Houston, Galveston,
Dallas and Fort Worth will pat
ronize nothing but professional
ball, and that must be Of the gilt
edge order, so write the various
baseball representatives OF those
cities. According to letters in the
sporting journals from correspond
ents Of those towns, league for
'94 is the desire of baseball en-
thusiasts OF Texas. A meeting Is to
be held on the 18th of this
month, for the purpose Of
taking action to place the famous
old organization in the field
again.
If the league Is organized 1t is
safe to state that San Antonio will
be in it and will have a strong pro-
fessional team, which will be under
the management Of Jack Phelan,
who has had a winning team for
San Antonio the past three seasons.
