She looked at him with quick surprise.
She looked at him with tear-brimmed
eyes,
Her tight closed hand no motion shaped.
No word her curling lips escaped.
His eyes were bright, his voice was clear;
He only said ~ love you. dear!
Her eyes were deep with angers hue,
They softened into tender blue;
The naughty curve her lip forsook;
Her hand lay open on her book.
Then as he spoke he drew more near,
And said again: Il love you. dearr'
Where sweet love dwells wrath cannot
stay;
Her smiles chased all the tears away.
She looked at him, "Ah, do not fear,
His smile replied, "Our hearts are near"
His words were still: II love you, dear!'
All! when the fire of anger burns,
And all life's sweet to bitter turns,
When eyes are flashing, lips close set,
Prepared to storm and 10 regret;
Then happy we if Great Heart near
Have strength to say: II love you deari"

Very few women are altogether con-
sistent in their tailor rigs" remarked a
masculine critic, to the New York Tribune.
They are very apt to commit some little
solecism in their dress that quite spoils
the general effect. l saw funny sight to-
day that was a case in point. A pretty girl
rode past me on a very handsome horse;
she wore a skirt and shirt, and looked
very nice, thought, until her horse broke
into a canter. Then suddenly up rose two
excrescenses on either side of her, which
bobbed about in the most ridiculous man.

sleeves of her shirt-very pretty and be-
coming in their place, but utterly absurd
for riding. The effect as she galloped off
ahead of me was indiscribably funny. Ger

bedroom sets. These may consist, If her
courage holds out, of a formidable array
of pieces, including, If the whole set is
desired, to bedspread and canopy, a table
cover, curtains for every window, and US
ually two portieres. The art linens are the
popular mat T ais. A woman who has taken
away materials for such a set to be evolv-
ed from the leisure of the summer piazza
is putting on a cream white, soft-finished
sateen a lovely design of large grape
leaves. The leaves are done in shaded
greens in fax, which has the double merit
of working effectively and of wearing in
definitely. A few straying tendrils connect
the leaves. The design was copied from a
pair of old English curtains worked over
a hundred years ago. Another pretty de-
sign is loosely strewn punches of clover.
The all-cver designs of these bedroom sets
are not to be commended, as at a little
distance they too much resemble the print
ed cloth, an effect much to be regretted by
the industrious needlewoman who has
spent days of labor in their execution.
Everybody. writes London correspond
ent is remarking the extraordinary pre-
valence of good looks this season. 1t is
said there have never been so many pref
ty women seen together as were assembled
at Ascot on the cup day, and, despite the
disparaging remarks of NJ. Daudet and the
Shahzada the number of beauties to be
seen in the park just now Is past counting.
There must be some explanation of this
sudden outbreak of female loveliness, and
l fancy it is not far to seek. 1t is to much
maligned fashion that the abundance of
good looks is unques tionably traceable this
summer Women's dress is not only beauti-
full but immensely becoming. The hats,
with their freights of blossoms, are spe-
cially fascinating, and the sweet simplicity
and the softness of the muslin collar and
flchu have helped to reveal hitherto I'M
suspected charms in many face this sea-

furbelows, flowers and picturesqueness
should characterize feminine attire. How
ever trim or rich or sensible" woman's
dress may be, it is never so effective as
when it only leaves pleasing impression
of huttering ribbons. of laces and soft
folds, and flowers and general daintiness.
The bridal veil which Princess Helene Of

only a marvel of beauty but somewhat
novel in design. The most skillful workers
In Bayeux have been employed on it, and

broad floral border. the pattern decreasing
in size until the portion worn on the head
