This is a story about a roll OF Chinese
crepe. There lives in this city the widow
OF a naval officer. who is not a society
woman in the accepted sense of the term,
but whose name is registered in the annals
oC heroes who died for their cOuntry's good.
She is a childlcss woman, and. except for
an ancient colored woman and her Glove
colored -crandson, lives near Georgetown
quite alone.
At the time of her marriage she pos
sesscd u friend, who also loved the young
officer and who afterward married a mer-
chant. who died, leaving her a daughter
and debts.
AS this widow had never forgiven her
successful rival, and the other>eould never
forget, it has happened that in ali these
years they have never exchanged visits nor
bowed in passing Last winter, however,
the officers widow found herself shopping
at the same counter with he other woman,
who, unaware OF her presence, was deep in
a troubled consultation with her daughter
and the other heard every word.
There is no use talking said the young
girl, finally, in a voice that trembled with
distress. Il will just have to wear a
travelling dress, and all my life have plan
ned to be married in white''
By that time the liste ner hal heard enough
to justify her in doing what some good
people might call n quixotic, but certainly
was very graceful, deed.
She went straight home aud going to a
padlocked trunk, unlocked and lifted from
It perfumed depths a bundle wrapped in
linen, which she tearfully unpinned
1t was bolt of snowy canton crepe, that
her husband had brought her from China
his last eift-and that she held it sacred is
easily understood by those, like her. who
love and revere their dead. That evening
She carried it to the heroine of the mer-
chants widNE, and a month later when
the daughter became bride the society
columns were enthusiastically descriptive
of her gown OF Chinese crepe.
And this scrap of romance, which NAV
not be worth telling. is revived by the
coming of Ii Hung Chang.
