bent upon his marrying in the family OF

| last summer married a bright English
girl and returned with her to Paris. Owing
to the property that the young man ex-
nected to inherit the marriage was kept
a profound secret. The English wife is
said to have made an admirable helpmate,
| and little by little she cured him of his
bad habits-cured him of all except one.
He still continues on certain occasions to
drink too much. Recently his friends
brought him home in an unconscious con-
dition. This was the young wifes oppor-
tunitv She had him put to bed and plac-
ed one of his limbs in surgical bands, hav-

painfully broken and surglcally set. When
the man came to his senses he found his
wife at his bedside prepared to nurse him
through the supposed inevitable fever. Re-
morse came in abundance, and at the end
of the week the wife was about to con-

l once knew an estlmable lady, says
writer in Pearson's, who, in the absence
of her cook, undertook to make GER
tain kind of cake. She took some of one
kind ingredient "a little" of another, and
"a small quantity" of something else To
her delight and surprise the result was
cake of which neither she nor any one else
| had ever heard. 1t was an entirely new
cake, and an extremely delicious one.
Proud of her achievement, the lady gave
the cake the beautiful and poetic name of
'ashes of angles" and on the very next
occasion when the absence of her cook
made it possible for her to venture into
her kitchen she tried to repeat her sue
cess.
This event happened in the year 1888, and
ever since that date the unfortunate lady
has been trying to reproduce her wonder
full cake. She has never once succeeded
| although she has made at least two hum
dred different varieties of cake and pudd-
ing, each one Of which has been more
deadly than the other. She is still hoping
that some of these days she may hit upon
her "ashes of angels" again, but as that
cake was purely the result of chance, the
prospect that she viii be able to make it a
second time is not bright. So long as Brit
