CALlSTA MEADB'S DEBUT.

village with strong metropolitan ambl-
rions; and when Calista Meade wen,
away to the school OF elocution in New
York everybody felt that, in some way
the village itself had received a big
boost, and some Of the most daring ac'
tually ventured t o discuss the question
of applying for a city charter in the
near future.
1t was a new thing then for a girl to
20 away from home to study elocution
as an art; for, although there were
plenty OF good so-called readers, and
some excellent declaimers, among the
young lady graduates Of the Fairfield
academy, the idea OF studying reading
with a view to making a profession Of it
was, to say the least, a startling one
to the Inhabitants Of that thriving vii,
laee.
In the first place, Calista was a grea,
fayorite not only for her fresh and
rather %aristocrtaic style OF beauty
heritage from the original Meades-but
for her "smartness," and, best OF all,
her frank, kindly disposition.
Fairfield folks took a remarkably IN,
serish pride in their talented young
townswoman; and when. upon her re-
turn home "for geed," it was understood
that she would make her debut in the
town hall on Christmas night, the whole
village prepared to don it's finest teath,
ers.
But at home what a hustle and com>
motion there was getting Calista ready
for the reading!"
Grandma urged the loan of her treas.
ured xold beads, or, at any rate, Of the
real lace dichu that had always been too
good to wear herself ("but nothine
could be too good for ,Lista to speak her
niece tu"). Mother was sure that her
edld watch and chain would not como
amiss. for It would be really necessar,
to have a watch on hand to time her.

Augustus J. c. Hare relates in 1.-The

Oxford undergraduate whose morbid
conscience made him an oddly. One
day a man said to him, How do you
do, r." and he answered, Quite we'll
thank you The next day the man was
astonished at receiving from R. the fol.
lowing not: Dear Sir-I am sorry tc
tell you that l have been acting a de-
cepdve part. When l told you yester-
day that I was quite we'll, l had really
a headache; this has been upon my on
science ever since" The tote amused
the man, whose name was Burton, and
he showed it to a friend, who. knowing
RS weakness, said to him: "Oh, R.,
how could you act so wrongly as to call
Mr.. Burton dear SIR thereby giving
him the impression that you liked him,
when you know that you dislike him
extremely" r.. was sadly distressed,
and a few days later Mr.. Burton receiv-
ed the following: Burton, l am sorry
to trouble you again, but l have been
shown that, under the mask OF friend
ship, I have been for the second time
deceiving you: by calling you dear sir.
l may have led you to suppose l liked
you. which I never did, and never car
do. am, Burton, yours, ETC."

not at all ike that OF 1894. That year
the Committee OF Seventy undertook to

The Citizens Union is endeavoring. apparently,
to subvert all other political organizations and
render them subservient to its own ends.
Therein lie the difficulties 1t meets with II. In

When IL sets itself up as an independent politi-

to act as a force to unite several parties or or
