"Ah, no! and he sighed a restless sigh,
For his lands were worth much a year;
But he valued the smiles on one woman's
More than all his treasures dear.
If she viii not wed me-" he sadly
Il would rather be lying cold and dead"
So he went 90 her door in grand attire

But a woman wants more was all she
said.
The years went BY and castles and land

Talk of Spartan fortituder' exclaimed
Miss Fin de Steele TO the New York
Tribune Women endure trials that are
far worse than physical torture. Only
last night, for instance, we had some peo-
pie for dinner. and Mrs. Casual forgot her
handkerchief. as usual. and asked me if I
wouldn't lend her one. Now / had given
my maid orders always to select some old
thing that / did not care for in case any
one borrowed such an article. So l said
to the footman: Ask Rosalie to give you
a handkerchief for Mrs Casual My
dear. he brought down one of my perfect
dears-one of a set of twelve treasures
that had just imported from Paris, and
which cost SIS apiece.
"Of course, | could not say anything,
but to see that woman walk off with it
was a trial, for I knew there was not one
chance in fifty that l would ever see it
again. 1t is only an example of what we
suffer; but things like this. which try
ones soul, are happening constantly"
Some one. says the New York Times,
recently met the Marquis of Lorne az
celebrated German spa. he was travelling
without his roya wife, and what a goou
time he was having! For once in way
he had to stand aside for no one, nor had
he TO attend to any punctilious ceremony
of precedence and respect. His meals We're

his appearance at this particulr time was

could not altogether detract from ms arg

l have been convinced this week, says
Clara Belle in a New York letter 10 the
