A Sad Case.

New York Ledger.
A broken-hearted widow asks the Led
gers opinion and advice. There is d man
with whom she is deeply in love, she says.
He is very good and kind to me, but cam
not trust him. know, or at least think,
often, and yet do not think that he can
love me. He often tells me that ! have no
confidence in him, but how can | have when
sitting close beside her. He has, of course,
begged me to forgive him, but | cannot.
This is the first time that have seen any
thing like this, but have suspected him to
do SO before now. ] have not forgiven him
yet and / do not know if I will, for he
promised me faithfully that he would never
put his arms around any one but me. My
heart is almost broken from grief, and do
not know what to do. Please tell me what
is best Answer: 1t is one of the deplorable
facts of life that lovers are not always ell
Their truthful or constant. They are likely to
be extremely eXacting, but are not willing
to live up to that standard which they de-
just what to do. If you are too imperative
you may drive your admirer away alto
gether. If you forgive him too readily he
may repeat the offenSe. Indeed, he is quite
likly to do so whenever he so fancieS. If he
is inclined to Inconsistency there is nothing
that you can do that will change him or his
nature, and if such performances make you
unhappy it may be just as we'll for you to
give him up altogether There is too little
good faith between persons who are either
actually engaged or who are acknowledged
by the community and their friends to be
"just as good as engaged" Under such cir
cumstances, ioverlike attentions or demon
strations from any other person are dis
tinct breach of faith, and desire the sever
est reprimand In your own case the Won
der is how you can love man for whom
you can have no respect, for surely you
could not respect any one who deliberately
deceived you. There are but two things for
you to do, and between these you will do
we'll to chose at once. Either take him as
he IS or make up your mind to give him up
entirely.

The Great Pie Question.
7. w. Higginson. in the Atlantic.

Sol j. wa HlgSlhSun, IN the AtlaHtlcA
l once heard talked over between two
respectable ladies some disrespectful re-
marks of mine on the American pie. I had
said in lecture that the average pie of the
American railway station was something
very white and indigestible at the top, very
moist and indigeStible at the bottom and
with untold horrors in the middle" 1 had
given this lecture at Fall River, Mass, and
was returning by way of the steamboat to
Providence, when ] heard one of my neigh
bors ask the other if she heard the lecture.
No" she answered. Il didn't But Miss
Jones, she come home last night. and she
flung her hood right down .on the table,
and says She There. says She Mr. Jones,
I'm never goin' to have another o. them
mince pies in the house just as long as /
live says she. There was Sammy says
she, he be sick all last night, and | do
believe 1T was nothin' in all the world but
just them mince pies says She"
WELL, said the other lady a slow, de-
liberate parsonage, Il do suppose that them
kind of concomitants amt good things"
Here the conversation closed but Mr.
Weller did not feel more gratified when he
heard the Bath footmen call a boiled leg of
mutton g. ''swarry" and wondered what
they would call a roast one than / when my
poor stock of phrases was reinforced bv
this unexpected polysyllable Instead OF
wasting SO many words TO describe an
American railway pie, I should have de-
scribed it, more tersely, as a "concomitant' >

PERSONAL AND SOCIETY
STORY or A GIRL WHO ALWAYS
CAME LATE TO THE TEAS.
Description of "a High Function in the
East-PeopIe In and ont
of Town.

There is a club of young ladies in this
city which has as feature of each meet
ing a cup of tea ard a macaFoon. The meet
ings are quite informal and after the work
of the club is over there is a half hour OF
gossip and tea drinking. One member is
invariably late. 1t grew to be a joke in the
club that Miss II. only cared for the re-
freshments and did not desire to cultivate
the line of talent pursued by the club. One
day after the programme was finished and
the girls were sitting about with their tea
Miss II. was seen coming up the walk. Sud-
denly one of the girls grabbed a cup, put
in the sugar and tea and placing two maca-
rooms on the saucer went to the door and
just as Miss H. was about to ring, the door
was opened and the cup of tea was handed
out to her. Not a word was spoken by
either, and the girl inside gently closed the
door and left Miss II. standing on the porch.
Miss H. did not wait long, but moving to
the steps, she sat down and compacently
drank the tea and nibbled the macaroons
until there was not crumb or drop left.
The girls inside watched her curiously and
wondered what she would do When she
had finished she set the cup and saucer on
the porch and arose to go. That was
enough, the door was quickly opened and
she was dragged in and given such a hug
ging as she never had before. Now she may
be as late as ever she pleases and whenever
she puts in an appearance one girl vies
with the other to serve her, az the pref
test cup and saucer is saved lvl Miss H. IS
tea
a lady of this city, who is making visit
to relatives In distant city, knows what
the good things of life are, but does not
enjoy them frequently enough to tie surfeit-
ed. She is a woman of wholesc re mind
and has been thrown with some v'ry rich
kinspeople. The cousins remover TO the
second and third degree have sought to
show her some hospitality. and recently She
was invited to 5-o'cloek tea at the home
of an unmarried cousin who has been left
seven million dollars in her own right and
who lives in magnificent home with eight
servants to take care of her. The only pets
in the house are two large dogs, and they
receive with their mistress ON all occasions.
The indianapolis lady thus writes home Of
the entertainment: "rne sea consisted Of
an exquisite little table, vita cups like
Jewels. Silver and gold galore--a great
deal OF Waterman in a silk lined spiketail,
that would make a prince jealous, sand

A VERY LIVELY DAY,


fessed a pacific disposition from the
beginning, and the indications are
strong now that it will avail itself OF
the good offices of the United States.
10 the fullest extent that public opln-
ion in Spain will allow in bringing
to an end the hostilities in Cuba.
To what extent the United States
may go in assisting Spain in her pres
ent design of securing an armistlce is
not yet determined, but the conserV-
ative element in the administration
consider the manifestation of this de-
sire on the part of Spain for
EVEN A TEMPORARY PEACE
a direct result of President Mckinleys
diplomacy, and they are naturally dis
posed to contend that the President
should be left free, for the present at
least, to pursue policy which prom
Uses much in the way of preventing
war between this country and Spain
and also of bringing to a close the
hostilities in Cuba. Hence there VIII
be an effort on the part of the peace
fully-inclined in Congress to continue
to hold that body in check and to pre-
vent iniammatory utterances there I'M
til the promising diplomatic lead may
be exploited.
On the part of the administration.
it is stated that the development of the
situation will no require a great length
of time, and hence that there will be
no extended delay.
A POLICY
has been fully determined upon by
the President. 1t is to bring the Cuban
war to a close. This will be accom-
plished by pointed Intervention, if nee
essary, but it is considered far pref
cradle that the end should come as the
result of peaceful negotiations than
that it should be accompanied by hos
tile demonstrations on the part of the
United States. Hence the disposition
of the President is to give Spain
fair opportunity to secure an armistice
with the Cubans and to allow her
reasonable time in which II come to
an understanding with the hostiles.
1t can be stated upon high author
ity that there has
BEEN NO ABATEMENT
of the Presidents intention to see
that the war is terminated when it is
closed upon terms that will render the
Cubans practically free people. The
friends of the administration feel that
the situation is very delicate one.
and that much will depend upon the
course Congress may pursue. In the
meantime the President will on We'd
nesday send his message asking that
an appropriation be made for the aid
of the destitute Cubans.
