Seeing the Point.

Beaumarchais, the author Of the ia
nous Marriage Of Figaro" was the
son of Partisan matchmaker, but had
gained fame, rank and wealth through
his own talents and exertions. A con-
ceited and envious young nobleman
once undertook to wound the pride of
Beaumarchais by an allusion to his
humble origin, In the presence Of a
large company Of people who had re-
gard for the talented young author this
young man handed him his watch, say
ing: Examine 1t, sir. It does not keep
time we'll. You can doubtless ascertain
the cause" Such was his rude haste
that his hand left the watch before
that of the surprised Beaumarchais had
grasped it, and it fell to the ground.
Pardon, monsieur" said the author
with grave courtesy, STOPPING to pick
up the watch and hand it to its owner,
you see my father was right when he
declared that 1 was too awkward to be
a matchmaker" New York Post.

Dainty Dolly Paunce was singing the
lively ditty, of which this is the re-
frain, in three parts of the metropolis
every evening, and four parts of the
impossible youth of the city were
singing it after each meal and before
retiring, as the doctors prescription
reads. Cards and flowers occupied
half her hanson each night as she rode
to her modest home uptown. She
threw the cards into the CRATE with
half-sighed prayer that men be born
with more sense and that engraving
were not SO cheap. The flowers she
allowed to die in her over-heated par
lor without a shadow of conjunction.
Dolly had been working long and
hard enough to be convinced that her
success would last just about so many
swift years, even with the best of tend
ance. So she scrupulously saved her
princely salary against the days of the
sere and yellow leaf, when, perhaps,
the same cards and flowers should be
flung nightly at the twinkling toes of
! another Dolly.
One dismal, raw night, being in mel
ancholy mood, Dolly read her batch
of cards in a spell of curiosity. She
had not done this since the early days,
now good while past, when there
were only two or three. To her
amazement she found that three Of
them bore the same name, Clarence
Lowderidge.
'@The goose must have followed me
from one place to the other" she
thought, with a 1ne curve Of scorn on
her pretty mouth.
Again the next night-she tried to
tell herself it was force of habit-sne
read the cards Of her admirers. Again
she found Clarence Lowderidge thrice
represented. On one of his cards she
read these penciled words:
81 have worshipped thee Ior thirty
nights, thrice the night. IT'S eQuiva-
lent to three months devotion. Is this
not religion? Thy adorer, G. L."
'The impudence of the fellow. I'll
give him lesson in religion, and that
on next Sunday morning, If / live, y
she snapped out to the CONSERVATION
Of her Angora, stamping her little foot
in its satin slipper.
She sat down at her writing-table
and scrubbed on few words, which
were posted the next morning to the
address on the card.
Sunday morning at II precisely,
Clarence Lowderidge appeared before
Dolly Paunce. He was tall, thin and
pale. His clothes were not too new
and his yellow hair needed trimming.
But when he stammered by way Of in

drama within the recollection az the
critics. and the worst. But II caught
the crowd and Mr.. Lowderidgs VAS en-
deavoring to recuperate his spent ener-
giles far from the busy haunts Of men.
The dust rose in clouds, parching his
throat, and he was fam to alight be-
fore rather shabby cottage in the en-
deavor to buy a glass of milk or cider.
A fat, short woman came out as size
heard the gate slam behind him. She
was not a ravishing, but a decidedly
healthy creature; and her homely fea-
lures seemed to grow upon him in in
terest despite the uncomfortable state
of her kitchen apron Mr.. Lowderidge
asked for the milk and received the
enormous bowl of cream from her
blowzed hands with an inward shud-
der. He offered to pay for It and the
dame took his quarter and made him
change to the sum of fifteen cents in
a jiffy.
''Is this the quickest road to Cor
ham" Mr. Lowderidge asked as he
stepped outside of the gate and pre-
pared to remount.
That's what it is, young man." re-
piled the dame, in an ear-riercing
twang; and with the next breath she
drawled in sing-song:
I'm jolly, youthful, gay and all that
And I wear my hair in braid
But Mr.. Clarence Lowderidge waited
to hear no more. He shot up the in
| cline of the road as though Dursued by
a spirit, meanwhile making an inter
nal note of another character for hi
comedy-drama of country life.
When he reached the summit Of thu
climb, he glanced back with sigl
of relief and muttered:

cERULEAN GARMENTS.

Precious Blue Garments.

Men Invariably succumb Before the
Precious Blue Garments.
Manners" may make the man" but
clothes and manners make the woman.
Who will say that charming manner
is not made to seem more charming
when a woman is CARRIED daintily and
becomingly? There is many an old
beau of the yesterday who remembers
to-day the blue dress of the girl he
once-if not still-believed to be the
personifcatiOn of all that was lowell
ness in womanhood, says writer in
the st. Louis Republic. The gown,
somehow, as he remembers 1t, seemed
to be part Of the dainty maid. At any
rate, he never fails to associate her
with it. Speaking of the blue dress,
somebody has said Of it: "Of all the
arts and wiles which the ingenuity and
skill of woman have devised there is
probably nothing which SO enraptUres
the animal man as does the latest freak
of fashion, the blue dress. The idea
was copied from the novelist, because
no well-regulated and eminently proper
heroine was ever known to swirl
through the pages of society novel
unless she was arrayed in garments Of
heavenly blue. So far the scientists
have been unable to explain the chro-
matte influences, and laymen should
certainly hesitate to undertake an ex-
PLANTATION of so abstruse a question, but
the fact remains that garments Of blue
exercise peculiar influence upon the
Is1Any j. L
gether true the last statement is, but
it is fact-isn't it?-that the charm
ing blue gown is treasured in many a
memory. l do not believe it is simply
because it was so dainty, so pure-look-
ing and so generally becoming. If a
girl thinks she can be attractive and
be dowd in dress, then let her see
a romantic drama in which the ac-
tresses are dressed indifferently. Some
how one can never associate romance
with a gown that does not fit or is of
| a horribly unbecoming color. Next In
importance after a sweet and refined
manner come becoming clothes. A
man may not know whether a gown is
after the latest and smartest mode, but
he does know in a minute whether It's
color is becoming and its general air
dainty. And so to the good advice of
the wise matron to the girl who would
be charming, let me add this: If you
have lost your heart, and would win
another in return, wear just as pretty
frocks as your pocketboOk can afford,
If you have but one best DRESS" make
it as attractive as you can with fresh
laces and ribbons, and know that a
woman, however naturally charming, is
only at her best when she is conscious
Of being becomingly dressed.
