Mrs. Ma ynard was very angry for
some time after her husband left the
house, ard she cried and stormed by
tarns a she recalled each hateful
word an expression of his, and tried
to feel lat she had been very badly
used. Lut she was a healthy, active,
sensible little woman, and soo1 "a
natural reaction Of feeling set in. al1
she loved her &c -ge again better than
any one else. and concluded to sacri-
fee her own feelings and invite his
people TO their anniversary dinner.
So she " ote dear little letter TO his
mother and invited every member of
the family by name to dine with them
on Thanksgiving day and signed her
self Your afTectiOnate daughter
Alice
Then she mailed the letter and felt
happy in having done her duty. She
had Just sat down to plan ont a menu
/ for the coming dinner, when the house
maid ushered in a messenger boy.
.'Oh, dear, George has gone off to
that hcrrid trial." she said TO herself
as she tore open the envelope and
read the letter it contained. The girl
looked at her curiously, for she sat
white and rigid like a woman turned
to stone.
rs there any messenger asked the
boy.
None" said Alice. with white lips,
and sat down in her own room to
think.
She could not make il seem true.
| That George, her George, should have
left her forever after paltry quarrel,
/ seemed an utter and vague impossi-
bility- But was it a paltry quarrel?
/ Had they not both said words that
would better have been left unsaid?
She clasped her poor little aching head
and tried to thinb-think-thin
OF course. il is easy enough TO guess
| what has happened. George, dear old
| stupid, had put the letter for the real
estate widow in the envelope ad-
dressed TO Alice, and the result is what
| we have seen.
But the poor girl had not yet reached
the topmost pinnacle OF despair. While
Sine was still trying to collect her
thoughts. several hours after the first
blow had fallen, there came second
one. The housemaid appeared upon
the scene with a second letter in her
hand. II had been opened and was not
addressed to her.
There's q crazy woman downs tairs. .
said the girl. Il cannot understand
what she means. She is old and ugly,
and she says Mr.. Maynard is a wicked.
designing man. and has trifad with
her affections. You ought to see her,

Then Alice read the letter, which
should have been addressed to her, but
no such thought enlightened her dis
tracted mind. Nor did IL add very
much to her misery, either. for she was
suffering al that was possible at the
moment.
When things are at their worst they
always begin to mend. At that mo

sound to one pair of ears-was heard
downstairs. There was brief alter

Some Jacket Lore.

Although the correct length OF the
walking coat is to the knee, there are
short jackets merely reaching well
over the hips for women of short stat
ure, on whom the half-long coat is one
of the most awkward garments imagin-
able, especially when fitted with the
severe simplicity of the modern tailor
gown o. cloth. Pale. bridge mixtures
are used as the new tailor cloths. There
is a decided fancy for a garment of
cloth, to match the skirt, and probably
the majority of ordinary walking
dresses will be finished with a coat or
wrap of the same material, following
the fashion of the outing gowns of the
summer. The bodice worn beneath the
coat will be of silk or some rich or gray
material in contrast, as IL is the rule
now, not the exception, that the bodice
shall be of a different material from
the skirt. A touch of fur sometimes
trims the coats of walking suits, but
much less fur viii be used this winter
on plain cloth suits-N. Y. World.
