leading to the altar young and beauti- full girl whom he made his wife. After the ceremony the bridegroom made a theatrical speech to the witnesses, in which he stated that his bride was of humble birth and that for two years he meant to place her in a convent where the nuns would add to her beauty all the graces and accomplishments of edu- cation. And, for all the world knows to the contrary, they lived long and hap oily ever afterward," although those who have had the best chances to ob- serve are scarcely sanguine about the butchers sweetness of disposition in the home circle.
 Then there is Admiral Dewey, that quiet, unassuming little man who blast ed his way into fame at Manila over the inaccurate mines of the Spanish engi- neers. Although Admiral Dewey has had one nicely rounded romance-for he is widower-his friends with ofiicious generosity as soon as fame had marked him for her own at Manila promptly proceeded to add the touch of senti- ment with mild middle aged romance. The fair maiden in his case is said to have been the daughter of an old friend, Judge Lowery of Washington, whose daughter was a beauty and a belle. Now, as is usual in such cases, in fic- tion at least, and many of the romances now in circulation about the heroes of the war bear all the hallmarks of that

 The Countess Brunetti is now the Duchess d'Arcos and graces the court of her majesty Queen Christina, while her old time lover is squaring up &C., counts by making it decidedly uncer- tain whether the ancestral glories of the D'Arcos will soon have a court to grace.
 Then there is Admiral Cervera. It is rather difficult to imagine that rather fat, commonplace looking old Spaniard Hitting soft lays to the languishing mu- sic of guitar under the window of fair inamoratas or writing broken winged verses to lady's lips or eyebrows. Old Kentucky makes a picturesque back ground for a romance, and the com piler of Admiral Cervera's passionate love story was most happily gifted either in facts or imagination. "With fiery devotion" says the chronfcler, "he poured his whole soul at the feet of this equeenly daughter of the fair south land The marquis" the historian goes on to relate, "knew his powers and left unused no art of fascination which would make. the heart of the charmer his own" She was the daughter of Con- .gressman Turner of Kentucky and then

brand of literature, Commander Dewey had a rival who was young and witty and handsome and titled. This was Count Brunetti, heir of the Duke d Ar cos of Spain and an attache at the Spanish legation at Washington. Like the sensible man he was, Judge Lowery did not want a titled son-in-law, and he did not like Spaniards.
 When the then Commander Dewey suggested by his attentions that the fair Virginia had taken his sailor fancy, all would have gone well if Miss Virginia had been of the same mind as the com mander and her father and some one else might have won the battle of Ma nila, for with young and lovely wife at home to live for, 1t is not impossi- ble that Admiral Dewey would have considered the question of sailing into a mined harbor more carefully. The fact that his widow will have a com fortable pension and be young enough to marry younger and handsomer rival is not much consolation to man before or after he has been blown into splinters for the good of his country by the enemys dynamite. As it was, the fair Virginia was obdurate. She did not wish to marry her fathers friend, and she would marry the fascinating Spaniard. Her father who was wise, grumbled a little, but when he found

AT Fl COUNTRY FHIR.
Bab Explains the Fashions to the Villagers and Te(fS How a
 Leaking Pipe Was Mended.

| came to this house, we were told that it had all the improvements, and the im- provement we specially admired was the bathtub. In the city when a pipe bursts you send for three plumbers, be- ing sure that one will come. You allow him to boss you and then you give up your new gown, or whatever it was you intended to get, to pay his bill. In the country things are managed differently I never knew how leak could be stop ped without the aid of the gentleman who plumbs. This one began as do all leaks, at the mystic hour of 12, and dripped down from the third to the sec ond story before it's dire purpose was discovered. By that time it had ruined lot of books, some rag carpets and some chairs of the vintage of 1776.
 Two men and one woman had started out to discover it, and it was the wom- an who found it-with a bonnet pin. We were a rather rocky looking lot. The two who did the most looking and working were in wrappers, put on has, tily over their nightgowns. The one who did the most talking sat on the side of the bed dangling her feet and admir- ing them, clothed as they were in Turk ish slippers. The man was quite pre- Sentable in pair of trousers and bike jacket, while his feet were, like those people in Milton, modest in their nudeness.' They didn't trouble anybody very much until he succeeded in stepping on a pin, and then he talked louder and used more expressive words than I ever dreamed were in the vocab- ulary of Job. When the leak was found, the question was how could it be stop ped. Everything was suggested one small boy even offering an india rubber ball for the purpose.
 What do you think was utilized? A porous plaster was slapped across the place where the leak had been, and aft CT considerable pressure it stuck so that it prevented further damage. The next morning the plumber scorned it. But it had answered the purpose the night be- fore, and who but a woman would think of stopping a bad leak with such a funny thing? After it was finished-I

a belle of Washington society. Even for Kentuckian. however. the Marquis de Cerveras wooing was bit tropical. Once the marquis, who was then a mili- tary attache at the Spanish legation, made a feast, and, bidding all Washing ton come, after monopolizing every dance which the fair Kentuckian would spare him, ended the evening by pro- ceeding to go down upon his knees and declaring his love for the astonished young lady to the tuneful accompani- ment of a guitar. The admiral was very fond of music in those days-not the kind the guns of Santiago gave him. Miss Turner was naturally indignant. but the Spaniard was so absorbed in his love song that he did not notice that.
 When he had finished the rapturc s Anda1uSian ditty the marquis cast himself at the lady's feet or where they had been, for the lady had sailed, much fncensed, from the room. Broken heart ed. he gathered together his possessions and his damaged heart and two weeks after departed for Spain. Miss Turner is now Mrs. w. T. Abrams, the wife of leading merchant of Louisville and still after 14 years considered great beauty. Admiral Cervera in time solac- ed himself with a Spanish bride.
 The romance of young Miss Laura Williams and General Wesley Merritt, military governor of the Philippine is- lands, is a story that has awakened widespread interest owing to the popu- larity of the distinguished officer Miss Williams is one of the belles of Chica- go, where General Merritt was sta- toned for some years and first knew her as a child.

 We are still in the country, our in- tentions, honorable as they are, being to rest for little while and then, when we gain the flush of health which per mits wearing of the new blue and show ing the plumpness of neck which allow a decollete bodice, we will start away from the children, dogs and birds, leav- ing them to find health and happiness in the green pastures and amid the red cows, which are startling. but pro- ductive of a very good time.

 In the country they always ask you about the fashions.

I told her that New York was entirely given over to red in doing, not in wearing, though. For wearing every shade of heliotrope which ranges from the shade that seems blue to that which is close to royal purple is in vogue. She

 Since the announcement of war with Spain American war romances have multiplied. There is no better match maker than a sudden order to the front. Men who have bashfully struggled with the momentous question find them selves rolling into matrimony almost without being aware of it. Every Yam kee soldier or sailor, it is safe to say, is an object of interest to some woman, and the man who has no properly cred ited sweetheart or wife to his account ought to be provided with buried TO- nance or tragedy of some sort.
 In the present war it is a little early to begin to reckon up romances but already there is every indication that the Spanish-American conflict will af- ford the makers of historical novels a pleasant grazing ground. Even Arch butcher Weyler has his tender little love story. When Weyler was a young man and a lieutenant colonel, he fell desperately in love with. young peas ant girl who, like himself. was native of the Balearic islands. With due re- gard for dramatic effect Weyler one day invited all his young army friends to meet him at the church door in the lit- tie Spanish town where they were sta toned and there astonished them by

Then there were cheaper ones having initials, but not too elaborately em- broidered, tied up with ribbon to be sold in packages of six for that type of girl who is always losing her handkerchief and yet must have it because she doesn't know what to do with her hands. Then there had to be a few bandannas and a few silk ones.

 Ever since the army started to Cuba there has been very carnival at Cu- pid's court. Old and hopeless quaxrels have been patched up and long estrang- ed hearts been united.

said she was glad to know this, because she had always thought there was something genteel about mauve. and then everybody couldn't pronounce the name. She added that she would get her husband to bring her home some samples of certain shade next week. when he went to town to buy a new concordance, and thought what love man must be when he is willing to get samples of a color that is developed in 75 different tints.
