Sir Oswald Is indeed generous said
Lady Hampton then she looked round the
room TO see II they were quite alone.
The maid had disappeared.
"Ah. Elinor.' remarked Lady Hampton,
"you are indeed a fortunate woman; your
lines have fallen in pleasant places. You
might have looked all England over and not
have found such a husband. | am quite sure
Of one thing-you have everything a wo-

II make no complaint" said Lady Darrell.
My dear child, ! should imagine not; there
arc few women In England whose position
equals yours
Il know it, was the calm reply.
And you may really thank me for Il; /

FLOWERS sent to Mrs. w. q. whnncy

Flowers Sent 10 Mrs. w. q. whitney
New York Journal: TWENTY-FIVE
thousand dollars was spent in New
York city this past week to welcome a
woman home. No woman has ever re-
teived such q floral ovation before. IL
was society's tribute 20 its leader. Not
even the famous Observation-Disclosures
oilt wedding equalled i'm its floral dec
orations the house into which Mrs.
whitney was carried. In fact. she
travelled from Aiken, S. c., 20 New York
surrounded by the rarest OF flowers.
Ever since her serious accident Mrs.
Whitney has been longing 10 return
TO New York. But il was not until
last Monday that the physicians in
,harge declared that it would be safe
ior her TO make the trip. Before the
rain started the car was actually lined
aud tapestried with the rarest Of flow
FRS sent by Mrs. Whitney's many
friends at Aiken. The fair invalid
made the journey from her southern
country house 10 New York in a scent
ed bower of Towering plants and fra
grant blossoms.
Mr.. Whitney, prior TO their leaving
he south, had telegraphed TO a lead
ing New York florist to spare no ex-
pense in decorating the house from top
10 bottom with blossoming plants.
palms and Mrs. Whitney's faverite
towers. And no expense was spared.
Not an inch of the walls OF the great
house was left uncovered. When the
doors were thrown open and Mrs.
Whitney was borne through the hall,
she passed benCloh a massive Gothic
archway Of tall palms and blooming
a~zalias, which extended from the door
to the foot Of the staircase. They car
ried her, ten men I'm all, up the stair
way and across another flower laden
1all into her WI sleeping room, draped
In soft blue and literally overgrown
with the eostliest roses. Tall, stately
American Beauties, apparently bow
ing their heads in welcome, roses SO
rare hat they have not yet appeared
on the market, deep crimson roses and
roses with petals OF the most delicate
blush pink, all massed i'm lavish profu-
lien.
But hardly before Mrs. whitney
realize the beauty Of her rose laden
oom she found that her New York
friends were not content that Mr.. Whit
ney should alone shower flowers upon
her. Fifth emu in the vicinity OF
Fifty-seventh street was impossible,
so crowded was It with florists wag-
ons, and messenger boys were tum-
bling over one another as they rushed
up and down the steps of No. "a West,
carrying baskets and big boxes of flow
FRS. They could be seen in a long pro-
session for blocks away.
And each box and basket of flowers
was taken directly to Mrs. Whitney,
until vase by vase the roses had TO be
removed TO make room for the new ar
rivals. Mrs. Whitney's favorite flow
ers, yiolets and lilies of the valley,
eame in the greatest profusion, and
she kept them close by her all the time.
Outside of the flower show such an eN.
addition of flowers has never been seen
before in New York.

LOVES VICTORY
by BERTHA NJ. CLAY.

COMPROMISE matters!" cried Pauline.
"YOu had better tell the sea 10 compromise
with the winds which have lashed il into
fury. There can be TO compromise with
me-"
The words had scarcely issued from her
lips when the dlnner.bell sounded, and Lady
Darrell entered in a beautiful evening dress
OF white and silver. Certainly Sir Oswald's
choice did him great credit. She was one of
the most del C tie, the most graceful OF wO-
men, fair, C Iessing, insinuating- one OF
those women who would never dream OF ut
tering barbarous truth when elogspt fiction
so much better served their purp< se-who
loved fine clothes, sweet perfumes, costly
jewels-who preferred their own comfort In
q graceful, languid way to anything else on
earth-who expected TO be waited upon and
to receive all ~homage-who deferred to men
with a graceful, sweet submission that made
them feel the Difference a compliment-who
placed entire reliance upon Others-whOm
men felt a secret delight in ministering to,
because they appeared so ~weak-one OF those
who moved cautiously and gTaciously with
subtle harmonious action, whose hands were
always soft and jeweled, whose touch was
light and geDtle-a woman born to find her
place in the lap OF luxury, who shuddered at
poverty or care.
Such was ElinOr Darrell; n she entered
the drawing room now with that soft, gliding
movement that seemed always TO initiate
Pauline. She drew q costly white lace shawl
over her fair shouldeTs-the rich dress OF sill
Yer and white was studded with pearls. She
looked like a fairy vision.
II think, she said To Miss Hastings, in
her quiet, calm way, that the evening is
cold"
you have just left a warm country, Lady
Darrell, " was the gentle reply. ''rbe South
OF France is blessed with one OF the most
beautiful climates in the world"
1t was very pleasant said Lady Darrell,
with a dreamy little sigh. You have been
very quiet, ! suppose? We must try to create
a little more gayety for you"
She looked anxiou.ly across the room at
Pauline; but that young lady's attention was
entirely engrossed by the crimson flowers of
the beautiful plant. Not one line OF the
superb figure, not ono expression Of the
proud face, was lost upon Lady Darrell.
Il have been saying to Sir Oswald" she
continued, looking intently at the costly
rings shining on her fEgsrS, that youth likes
g~ayety-wc must have a series Of parties and
balls"
as she beginning to patronize me?'
thought Pauline.
She smiled to herseIf-a peculiar smile
which Lady Darrell happened to catch, and
which made her feel very uncomfortable;
and then an awkward silence fell over them,
only broken by the entrance Of Sir Oswald,
and the announcement that dinner was sery-
Ell.

The sandy-haired man tapped HIM

verscd-accepted the invitation and
found himself in pretty good company.

Sir Walter Besant in the Pail Mall
Magazine: The king who died in this
house was that young Dane who APP
pears 10 have been an incarnation of
the ideal Danish brutality. He dragged
his brothers body out of its grave and
flung it into the Thames; he massa-
cred the people Of Worcester and raw
aged the shire, and he did these brave
deeds and many others all In two short
years. Then he went to his " place.
His departure was both fitting and dra-
matte. For n 50 young it showed
with what a yearning and madness he
had been drinking. He went across
the riyer-there was, l repeat, 40 9th
er house In Lambeth except this, so
that it must have been hereto attend
the wedding of his standard bearer,
Tostg the Proud, with Coda, daughter
OF the Thane Osgood Clapa, whose
narpe survives in his former estate of
Chaplain. A Danish wedding was al,
ways an occasion for hard drinking,
while the minstrels played and sang
and the mummers tumbled. When
men were we'll drunken the pleasing
sport Of bone throwing began; they
threw the bones at each other. The

was thus killed. The soldiers had mo-
special desire TO kin the old man; why
couldn't he enter into the spirit of the
game and dodge the bones? As he did
not, of course, he was hit, and as the
bone was a big and heavy bone, hurled
by a powerful hand, of course it split
open his skull. One may be permitted
to think that perhaps King H%ardacnut,
who is said TO have fallen down sud.

did actually intercept a big beef bone
which knocked him down, aud as he
remained comatose until he died, the

that even in sport his king had been
killed at his wedding, gave out that
the king fell down in a tit. This, how
ever, is speculation.

New Form Of Coior.Brindness.

The subject of color-blindness, the
great Importance of which has been
widely recognized only within recent
years, continues to occupy the atten-
ton Of many scientific experimenters.
Prof. Koenig of Berlin has just discov-
cred 4 form Of this intirmity hitherto
unrecognized.
Persons who are said 10 be ~rypically'
color-blind see yellow where the normal
eye sees red. while those who are total
ly c~olor-blind are able 10 perceive no
colors at all.
The new form Of color-blindness dis
covered by the German savant appears TO
be intermediate between the typical
and the total" phases. Those who suf-
fer from it perceive nothing but white
in the entire length OF the solar spec
trum, except that ut the end where the
ordinary eye perceives n bright rcd,
they see a faint shade of yellow. while
at the violet eud Of the spectrum they
are sensible Of q slight blueness in the
light.
The dangers that arise from color.
blindness are frequently pointed out
and much pains is taken TO guard
against them in the selection OF en-
gineers for railway locomotives and
steersmen for vessels but few think OF
the deprivation OF pleasure which those
suffer whose eyes are not sensitive TO all
the colors that make up the sunbeams.
A person who is totally color blind is
almost as much TO be pitied as one who
is deaf. foT a large share Of the beauty
Of the world must be lost TO those who
know neither red nor green nor violet
but only varying intensities Of white
ness or grayness. Youths Companion.
