stood out upon his classic brow, and
then ran consecutively down upon his

atively; and a shade of disappointment
swept horizontally across her mobile
face, removing large clusters of snowy
whiteness where it swept. She had en-

the true sentiments she entertained for

that she has been kept in the dark

MARKETING FOR OTHERS.
An Odd Way of Making Money by
Experienced Women.

One of the most novel and valuable
employments for women in some cities
is that of professional marketer There
can be no doubt that here is a genuine
opening for a woman who is thorough
~ capable of fulfilling the requirements
Of the position, for this work is no
sinecure.
To become a successful marketer
woman ought to have a thorough know
ledge of markets and know when vari-
GUS articles are in season and the best
qualities to buy for various purposes.
She must know when it will do to
buy an inferior brand; and, in short,
she must have a scientific knowledge
of cooking as well as of markets.
She must know when the season Of
each article is at it's height and what
is in season at any particular time.
All large establishments keep stew
ards, who do substantially this bushes
for them and it would be the exception
when an outsider would be employed
The greatest drawback to the work OF
professional marketer in families is
the practice Of keeping a running ac-
count at the most convenient grocers'
and butchers shops, where the requi-
site supplies can be obtained.

CHAPTER VII.
At School.

Il am pleased to make the acquain-
lance of Miss Despard," said Miss
Joyce, in her most majestic tones"
She was a very dignified person, who
wore silk dresses so stiff and rich that
they would certainly have "stood
right position for standing. She was
portly, not very tall, hard Of feature
and rather cold of eye; but she had
a mellifiuous way of speaking, benig-
nifty of mien which seemed to contradict
her physiognomy; and her surround
ings were so luxurious and beautiful
that they certainly did not comport
with any notion of harshness or Sc
verify.
Madeline had no clear ideas in con-
nection with boarding school life; she
associated it in her mind with great
bare rooms, forms without backs to sit
on, bare boards and hardships in gen
eral, such as she had read of in books
which treated of schoolgirls somewhat
earlier in the century. She had no
conception of a school like this one,
where the pupils came from wealthy
homes and where the aim of the
schoolmistress was to prevent them
from missing the luXuries to which
they had all their lives been accustom-
ed. Miss Joyce wished to make her
girls comfortable and happy, not be-
caUse she cared very particularly
whether they we're so or not, but be-
cause she wanted them to speak we'll
of her in their own homes. Her charges
were tremendously high; but then she
had a spacious and beautiful house, a
lovely garden, men-servants and maid
servants; the girls bedrooms were
bright and cosy, gay with elegant
screens and dainty silken quilts and
chintz-covered furniture; the lecture
rooms were perfect and the music
rooms "a dream" The Conservatives,
full of the loveliest flowers, were the
finest in the suburb. And withal, it
was popularity said that Miss Joyce was
amassing great fortune. She had at
any rate hit upon the right method of
making her school popular with the
girls.
Madeline held her breath as she was
ushered into the artistically furnished
Sitting-room which Miss Joyce called
her own. Miss Joyce was extremely
modern in her ideas of decoration,
and the painting, the tiles, the brass
work, the embroidered curtains, were
all of the newest designs. Madeline

HOW SHE APOLOGIES.

| know a young woman who has
most ridiculous habit of staring at
folks. No matter where she is she
takes them all in and scowls and
frowns and looks of disgust have no
effect upon her.
Her favorite field is a restaurant,
and the way she eyes some women is
enough to take away the appetite of
the one looked at so critically.
AS this particular young woman
walks past the victim on her way out,
and the battery of scowls and frowns
is turned upon her-she says in per
fectly audible tones:
Isn't she an awfully pretty girl?'
That is all sufficient. The angry
woman Gains down in an instant and
smiles beatifcially upon the saucy
starer.
If it happens to be a man whom she
has been casting her eyes upon, she
says: FOh, isn't he too handsome?'
This never fails either, and it is
safe to say that from all appearances
anger and all sorts of kindred emo
tions melt away when vanity is
touched

To Be Continued.
WHAT ARE THE WILD WAVES
SAYING

They sat upon the silent beach silent
ly. A big silver crested wave and the
sweet, serene silence broke simultane-
ously upon the beach. The young man
shuddered as this execution suggested
to his fevered mind his own pecuniary
and lost itself in the deep, dark depths
of the ocean, his silvery voice burst
out upon the Silly morn in riotous
oceans of fiowery eloquence But, like
the wave, he could not move her rocks.
A sweet, sad smile emerged from his
full, sensitive mouth, played fitfulIy
about his handsome face for a moment
and was lost in the lovely yellow o.
his bilious beard, and a look of pain
sat rigidly upon his marble brow.
His lips moved convulsively in an eff
fort to speak again, but as his full
free-silvery voice ventured out upon
the golden-standard silence there was
shock, and he drew it hurriedly back.
At length, with a supreme effort, he
drew himself tightly together and
struck. He was pleading for a lock of
hair-a token of love. How earnestly,
how eloquently he pleaded! What
plaintive pathos and perspiration at
tended his burning words! Who could
resist him? A lock of hair. 1t was
but a small thing, she ruminated, sup
posing that the whole suit cost $50
She gave it TO him. He pressed it
joyfully to his heart She loved him!
o bliss! Oh, my! Oh, yes.
Darling" he murmured, in a softly
modulated, melodramatic voice; Il love
you. I worship you, Tell me, dearest,
that you love me in return. l never
loved another" he added, as the thirty
ninth vision of unrequited love strobe
hurriedly through his mind.
A heavy blush mantled her prov for
a moment and then slid slowly down
her hair and fell sloshily into the sand.
Il do love you, George" she answer
ed fervently Il adore you
And 1 knew it, Sweetheart" he CUR
gled; and under the influence of that
Elvsian joy and his unpaid board bill,

CUBAN BEAUTIES,
What Constitutes Beauty Among the
Feminine Residents of Havana.

The Cuban woman is considered
handsome for tropical country but
outside of Cuba her beauty would be
questioned. She has an eXquisitely
moulded, well-rounded, dainty form,
black hair and eyes, and skin that
does not appear too dark for this part
of the country. She is lazy and in
dolent by nature, but this fits her in
Cuba. 1t would, not give her the charm
that surrounds her if she was quick
active and restless. She wears thin
gauzy garments that cling gracefully
to her form, and she carries herself
with child-like dignity. Her teeth are
invariably white, regular and attrac-
tive, her mouth small, red and tempt
ing, and her face oval in youth, but too
round and full when age creeps upon
her. Reclining in her gaily decorated
hammock or rocking in her chair, she
is an exquisite picture of tropical
beauty, and the foreigner who might
condemn her looks in America, feels
inclined to stop and admire her in this
warm climate
The Cuban woman is old while still
young in years. She marries early,
taking the man selected for her, but
she makes a dutiful wife, spending her
life contentedly in rearing her child
rem. Her childhood is short and fleet
ing, ending generally at Is or IA and
at 25 she is faded.
Many of the Spanish settlers in Ha-
vana have married Cuban women, and
those of the best blood show character
and intelligence in an unexpected de-
gree During the present outbreak of
hostilities the patriotic Cuban women
have more than once shown their bra
very in helping the cause of the in
surgents. General Santocildes, vino
was recently killed by the insurgents,
married a Cuban woman, as we'll as
did many of the other Spanish leaders,
and their sympathies are with their
adopted land and not with Spain.

UP-TO-DATE "WHENS. :

When lovely woman stoops to WOO
man
At forty-ive, her hair grown gray,
What charm can keep her swain a
true man?
What art can hide her age away?
When small investors stoop to folly,
And find too late that mines give
way,
Can aught aSsuage their melancholy
What option have they but-to pay?
When lively woman stoops to folly,
And finds her "bloomers" do not
sit
What charm can soothe her melan-
choly,
What art can make the Knockers fit ?
When lovely woman takes to hiking
And finds her skirts are in the way
Shall she dress like an ancient vik-
ing?
Or like the young man of today?
When fading beauty sees with sorrow
Her raven tresses f1ecked with gray.
With what cosmetic may she borrow
A u II that ne'er will pass away
When love Y woman has no lover
And finds her charms are growing
less,
Why blame her if she tries 20 cover
Their fading powers, in her distress
And seeks what arts can serve her
beauty,
Or hide the faults from every eye?
Surely it has become her duty
To pad and powder, paint and dye?

IDENTITIES IN FICTION.

Everyone knows the terrible bicker-
ings and heartburnings caused by the
efforts Of the injudicious-no to men
ton those of the malignant-to fix the
identity of leading characters in fic-
ton with more or less real originals.
The eXasperatiOns of Leigh Hunt when
he discovered that he had sat to Dick
ems for Harold Skimpole, and refused
to be comforted by the possibly true
explanation that the gentler and
worthier side Of the character was in
portraiture of himself, is a case in
point. Dickens and Thackeray both
TEEN with instances, though neither of
them to the extent of Disraeli, who
probably cared less than either for the
effect of his caustic sketches upon their
subjects. Very different from these
cases is that of Private McManus, of
San Francisco, who comes forward to
claim identity with Mr.. Rudyard Kip
ling's celebrated Terrence Mulvaney.
Mr.. Kpling, however, who ought to
know, and is not even moved to ack-
nowledgment by Mr.. McManus' piquant
description Of him as "a p1uchy, in
Quisitive little fellow in the civil SER
vice, who passed the bottle among us
privates and then got us to tell all
the yarns of the barrack ROOM" puts
a searching question to the claimant
as to chow Dearsley came by the palan-
quin," and, in the highly respectable
old parliamentary phrase, 1--WE pause
for reply"
