able yawn. He was plainly quite at his ease in that house.
 A flood of jealous wrath swept over Douglas Deane's heart, and he clinched his hands tightly. 'She called Heaven to witness that she would be true to mel! he muttered. "How can I doubt her?' But all the same he stood aside and watched the room. Frank Fem wick was waiting for Dora, he felt sure, and he intended to see how they met. The next moment the door opened and Dora glided in-Dora, paler and thinner than of yore, but lovely still. In her arms she carried tiny babe. She smiled upon Frank Fem wick. not in the least as one does who greets . guest, and seemed to speak to him familiarly as she placed the infant in his arms, settling the embroidered shawl about it's shoulders and shaking out its long white robe. He could not hear what they said, but Frank bent his head and kissed the little creature.
 It was a pretty family group, with but one meaning to the onlooker.
 With a groan Douglas Deane stag gcred away from the window and out into the sandy road again He reeled as he walked like drunken man.
 ''Oh! fool that I was to believe that woman could be constant" he moaned. But she called Heaven to witness that-that-' He paused; it had be- come impossible for him to utter those words on which he had existed for three long years.
 Why, he asked himself, had he not perished on that lonely island in the sea? Why had he lived to endure this misery? But at least I can end it all, :"

he cried out in his madness alone there in the starlight on the sandy road where no one could see or listen to him. ''I will return to the ocean-I who am not wanted by anyone on earth. It will be only one unknown drowned man the more. And Dora will never know"
 By that you can see that, wretched as he was, he still loved his love too we'll to wish that she should suffer Full of his purpose, he walked on to- ward the beach. He knew just where the long, smooth slope would lead him down and out into the water, on until he was out of his depth. He would fill his pockets with stones that he might sink more surely. He did not dread the brief struggle. As for the sin of it, God would surely pardon one too miserable to live for dying, he thought
 But one more look at the roof that sheltered her-at the lighted window through which he had seen what had murdered his long-endured hope-and he would say good-by to earth. He turned, and was aware that some one was striding toward nina long limbed man-who moved swiftly and was beside him the next moment cry ing: Great heaven! is it you, then, Douglas Deane! l never expected to see you again in this world! Just now Dora pointed to the window and cried out that she saw your spirit standing there, but as l don't believe in ghosts, and don'tlike strange faces at the panes, l followed you. Give me your hand, old boy. I'm glad to see you. But this is rather strange thing for you to do to people who have mourned you as they have in that house!''
 'Ah! she was sorry, then, at first?" said Douglas. Well, I could expect no more The picture ofdomestic hap piness was rather unexpected-that is all. 1 was not ready with congratula- tions. I am sorry she saw me-good- night"
 "The picture of domestic happiuessw cried Frank. "Oh! l begin to under stand. You. have taken it into your head that I have cut you out--that Dora is my wife? Have you forgotten that Capt. Darling had another daugh- ter, still at boarding school when you went away? Sarah is her name. I married her two years ago, and that is our baby. As for poor broken-hearted little Dora, she lives but to bewail you, you absurd idiot"
 But Douglas did not care what hard names anyone called him now, as al. most mad with joy he turned and rushed toward the cottage, and there, before them all he took his little dar- ling in his arms again and showered kisses on her pale cheeks and tear eyes, and whispered amidst his tears: 'You said you would be true to me forever How could I doubt you, dar- ling? oh, how could doubt you?"

Unique Medicine for Meiancholia.

To person afflicted with certain phase of melancholia 1 once gave an unusual piece of advice, said an Arch street physician. I asked him if he ever took an interest in the sporting intelligence presented in the daily pa pers He replied in the negative and added that sports of any kind were dis tasteful to him, and some even ab- horrent to the principles instilled into him from early youth. chen told him he was suffering from the effects of dwelling too long on the grave con- cerns and problems of life, and that if he wished to prolong his years he must take hold of lighter things, and that knew of no mental diversion so ef- fectual as to take positive interest in the sporting events of the day--an in- terest which he might easily create by little persistent reading of this enter taining branch of news. He followed my advice, his morose and suspicious temper was gradually subdued and he became as cheerful and conpanionable man as ever knew.-Phiiadclph phia RecorG.

DRESSING THE BRIDE.
Heavy White Satin Is the Correct Ma

Heavy White Satin Is the Correct Ma
 terial for Wedding Gowns.
 Very heavy white satin is used for the wedding gown, writes Isabel A. Nal lon, in Ladies' Home Journal The skirt, which is quite plain in front, has flare about the lower part, the result of there being two full plaits on each side of the broad gore. In the back there are two double box-plaits that fall far down, spread out and extend through the train, which svery nearly a yard long. The bodice is pointed one, laced in the back; is high in the neck, and has over it's white satin col lar folds of white tulle, caught at one side with tiny bunch of orange blos- sons. The sleeves have enormous puffs of the satin that reach quite to the elbows, and below that they fit in to the arms, and each comes down in a point over the hand. Folds of tulle outline this point Over each shoulder is an elaborate epaulette of orange blossoms. The hair is arranged quite high and pinned closely and very firm ly to the head; and the veil, which is fastened on under a wreath of orange blossoms, extends to the edge of the skirt in front and over the entire length of the train at the back. It is necessary in arranging this veil to re- member that while it is worn over the face going up the aisle of the church, it is thrown back after the ceremony, in such way that the bride may look her best when the veil is off her face.

An Economic Tea Gown.

Green and white is sweet and girl isb combination, but green and black has Frenchy air that is irresistible. A woman who made this discovery has created for herself house frock out of the ball dress that had done duty all winter. It was pale green silk, with fluttering white ribbons and laces. She ripped it apart and had it cleaned. The bodice and skirt were joined, and the joining marked by a fine black silk cording about her waist. A ruffie of green, edged with narrow black lace, trimmed the foot of the skirt. The low-necked bodice was pieced up and half covered with narrow ruffies of green, each outlined with very narrow black lace.

LESSON IN ETIQUETTE.

The Proper Way of Observing Wedding
 AnnIversaries--sampIe of Correct In-
 vitatiop- The Duties of Guest and Hosts
 A Few Useful Suggestions Concerning
 Presents.
 Are you well posted on the etiquette of the wedding anniversary? Sending out the invitation, accepting it and celebrating this social function call for strict attention to details.
 First, let us consider the list of an- niversaries which Father Time pre- sents with due formality as the years fit by. Here it is:
 Cotton leads; second, paper; third, leather; fourth, book; fifth, wooden; sixth, garnet; seventh, woolen; eighth, bric-a-brac; ninth, topaz; tenth, tin; twelfth, silk and fine linen; fifteenth, crystal; twentieth, china; twenty-fifth, silver; thirtieth, pearl; thirty-fifth, sapphire; fortieth, ruby; fiftieth, golden; seventy-ffth, diamond.
 Of these, the last five rarely demand recognition. An all-around glimpse of those more generally observed may give you some suggestions that will be helpful.
 Wedding anniversary invitations are printed on cards or note-paper, prefer ably the latter. They should read MT. and Mrs Frank Thompson, at home, etc., with date and residence.
 The character of the occasion is in- dicated by monogram at the top of the page, this being hanked by the two annual dates-as 1S34(monogram) 1S44. If for golden wedding, this lettering Is in golden; if for silver wedding, it is in silver, the invitation being printed in black ink.
 No written acceptance need to be sent in answer to this style of invita- tiou. You simply dispatch a present with card attached, and, if unable to attend the reception, graceful note, expressing congratulations, is for warded through the mail.
 In regard to the giving of presents on such occasions, a recent plan that has been widely indorsed does away with all embarrassment likely to be experienced by people of limited means.
 Invitations to the more elaborate an- niversaries-sucha as the golden, silver, etc.-generally have engraved in the lower left corner: ''No presents" This

Care of Curtains and Portieres.

When, any cleaning or sweeping is in progress the heavy curtains and DOT tieres should be removed, and after be- ing thoroughly brushed and shaken should be allowed to hang in the air until the rooms are cleaned and ready for their return, writes James Thomp- son in very practical article, "Artis- tic Doorways and Windows" in La dies Home Journal. Heavy hangings will absorb the odor from cigar smoke or from any food which may be cook ing, and the greatest care should there fore be taken that they be kept well aired. The doorway curtains may be so easily removed and placed in posi- tion again that there should be no ex- cuse for any unpleasant odor being at tached to them.

Superhuman beauty. She was always lovely and fresh and exquisite, but now She looked like an angel. Suddenly he felt that he was altogether unworthy ot her, and he remembered how hand some and winning Frank Fenwick was, and all his advantages, and how often he would be with Dora while her sailor Was far away. And, oh! will you really be true to me?" he cried out; and
 then she had taken that VOW. He was always saying it over and over again,
 as devout Catholics repeat their pray CTS; 'I will be true to you forever, Douglas. How can you doubt me?" And once more, speaking as though in apology to some listener, he said aloud:
 Why, did not doubt her! But, you see, l was going to leave her for six

A DOCTORS TESTIMONY.
Hard Labor as the Best Antidote to III
 Health.

Hard Labor as the Best Antidote to HI Health.
 "Labor is the life of life. And espe- cially it is the life of life to the deli cate" These are the words of the fam ous English physician, Sir Andrew Clark. They were spoken to medical students at the London hospital, but are worth pondering by every one, es- pecially by those whose deficiency of health inclines them to give up the battle of life before it is really begun.
 Dr. Clark made particular mention of persons suffering from pulmonary dis ease. He had had much experience with such patients and declared with perfect confidence that "those who have done the best have usually been those who have occupied themselves the most"
 His own parents both died of con- sumption when he was too young to remember them, and at the age of twenty-one he himself went to Madeira to die of the same disease. So it was thought, but he came back, and, as he says, had the good luck" to getan ap- pointment in the London hospital
 His coming was not very welcome to the other members of the staff. He was a Scotchman, and the young En- glish doctors looked upon him rather jealously; but they had heard that he had tubercle, and thought he would not be long in the way.
 They saw that he worked hard, and prophesied that he would not last more than six months That was thirty-nine years before the time of Sir Andrews lecture, and of the young doctors then in the hospital with him, only one was living.
 Work did not kill him "Worry is killing" he declares. "I have never yet seen a case of breaking down from mere overwork alone; but admit that it is necessary above all things to culti- vate tranquility of mind.
 ''Try to help your patients to exer- else their wills in regard to this" he continues-"for will counts for some thing in securing ranquillity-to accept things as they are, and not to bother about yesterday, which is gone forever; not to bother about tomorrow, which is not theirs; but to take the present day and make the best of it. t."-Youth's Companion.

years, when woodcuts and engravings were substituted, until towards the end of the eighteenth century colored fashion plates and illustrated almanacs made their appearance. Great ladies used to send these dolls to their friends at distance, and, as the costumes were made by professional "cutters," |" exactly to the right shape and in the latest style, with due regard to de- tails of materials and trimmings, the dressmakers had only to enlarge the measurements of them.

A CORRECT INVITATION.

Is seldom the case in regard to the paper, cotton, tin, wooden, linen and china anniversaries. At such affairs, much of the merriment and jollity among the guests is occasioned by the unique presents offered.
 A couple who had enjoyed the bliss of married life for two years summoned their friends to paper wedding. This event opened the way for artistic tabl, decorations on the part of the hostess and novel souvenir offerings from the guests.
 The odd paper tablecloth was formed of large sheets of crinkled paper, pasted together and adorned, wherever the joining occurred, by lengths of satin ribbon. Crinkled tissue napkins, with deep fringes, crinkled tissue doylies and other paper furnishings were shown in the faintest of rose pinks and pale greens.
 The candle shades were of tissue, decorated with tissue blossoms. TheSe were paper bonbon boxes at the place of each guest, filled with choice sweet leSi tiny trayS Ol salbeu dInohuS dl'- peared in papier-mache, delicately painted, and pale pink papier-mache finger bowls, with rose petals floating on the perfumed water, also had place amid the assortment of quaint paper table settings.
 As for the gifts! Well, everything had showing, from note paper to ex. quisite tissue lamp shades, bearing beautiful garnitures of tissue flowers. One very practical as well as pretty present was papier mache toilet set. The pitcher, bowl, soap dish and small- CT articles were of dainty cream tint, painted in a design of daisies and grasses.
 The shops teem with such delightful novelties in every form that the search for wedding anniversary presents, from cotton to silver, is by no means @ difficult one. A little originality, a little taste and not very much money will secure an exceedingly effective congratulatory bit.-Golden Days.

 He repeated these words twice in the tone of one who knew them by heart and yet feared he might forget them, sentence: "l will be true to you for ever, Douglas. An, how can you doubt me?'
 Why, did not doubt her!" he went on as though he answered some one who had spoken. But Dora is so beautiful. Every man must love her, and had no great opinion of myself. Why should l? And Frank Fenwick was so handsome; was rich as well, and always coming to the house, and the captain favored him. l could see that"
 Covering his eyes with his hands, Douglas Deane could fancy himself once more in the parlor of Capt. Dar- ling's quaint little cottage down beside the shore.
 He saw the deep bay window, in which a small telescope had been set so that with it one could sweep the beach and the boats and the pillows beyond, with whatever craft might be upon the water; the wainscoted wall and the polished floor spread with the great Persian prayer-carpet the captain had brought from the orient The panels were decorated with nautical views of all sorts Ships in calms and storms; the launch of the Kitty Creamer; the wreck of the Stormy Pe- trel; yachts at rest upon the water, the moon behind them and colored lights hung out; ships in full sail on mid-Ocean. The little bookcases had polished brass handles to their doors. The great green parrot with red wings, and the great yellow parrot with evil eyes, swung in two golden cages in the window, fanked by tropical plants growing in Chinese jars. A wood fire burned in the brass grate, and the light from tall brass lamp fell through a shade of rose-pink silk, puckered and plaited into the likeness of a great fower-cup.
 The hour had come when he must leave his little sweetheart His arm was about her waist, her cheek upon his bosom. In that softened light her face seemed to him to wear an almost
