HIS NERVES SUFFERED.

The old proof reader, who had been
for more than score Of Years correct
ing the thousand and one minor errors
which the haste Of YsDaper-making
allows 10 creep into fcopy" before Ii
reaches the printers hands, was a most
methodical man, as prpof readers are
likely TO be. He camd to work at the
same hour and minute every evening.
worked in the same fnethodical way,
and knocked on 2& the same time,
starting Immediately for home with
one particular Shum. But one night
he made a change in his mode of pro-
cedure, WHICH, was the most remark
able coming from hi,n.
II was thk end Of the week. and like
all well-regulatef printers. he borrow
ed his weekly dollar and started for
home. But ipstead of taking the near
est road he struck off on rounda-
bout course.

partner. why don't you go down

THE FIRST YEAR OF MARRIED
LIFE.

A woman should not take offense too
easily. Often indeed the words or
manner she resents is not i'll meant by
her husband. A man may have a
hasty, brutal sounding fashion OF
speaking that tries and hurts a woman
cruelty, and she should endeavor by
all gentle means in her power to break
him of the habit by representing to
him in his calmer moments the pain he
inflicts on her.
The man who loves his wife will usu-
ally try to break himself Of any pecul-
iarity that is distasteful to her, but she
may rest assured she will not better
him by continual hagging upon the
sore subject. To harmless and inof-
fensive idiosyncrasies the wife should
shut her eyes.
At the beginning Of her married life
let her make up her mind TO one fact
that she cannot force her husband to
resemble her in every particular OF
thought and feeling. He will have his
preferences and his distastes, and she
need not expect to coerce or persuade
him into conforming them to hers.
After all, he has right to his own
individuality, and she has no business
to interfere with II.
There will always be enough points
of common sympathy to form a meet
ing ground, and upon matters of di-
vergent opinion let them agree to dis
agree. A potent aid to a wife's charity
for her husband will be the reflection
that in all probability her faults are
quite as trying 10 her husband as his
are to her.

-pecial hobby, as one night guess, is
Holland and its pedigrees Her royal
apartments in the great hotel in New
York City are furnished in such way
as to recall the land of bikes and wind
mills The portraits of her Dutch an
cestors occupy a conspicuous place upon
blue and orange are piled upon touches,
and in the evening the light falls
through tinted shades cut in the shape
of tulips
Besides her Dutch ancestry. which
dates back to 1852, when Leybert, Van
Westervelt settled in Flatbush, N Y,
Miss Dempsey is proud of her French
and English forbears. The Hoblitzells
were French Huguenots, who took ref
uge in Maryland in 1875. Adrian Hob
litzell, Miss Dempseys great-grandfath-
er, was Revolutionary hero. Her
mothers grandfather was General Sir
Guy Carleton, once Governor General
OF Canada during our Revolution. He
was transferred to New York and there
was compelled to surrender his sword
to Washington when the British army
evacuated New York. The MANIFEST
ervelt branch of the family came from
Mepple, Holland, where they were of
baronial rank. For over 400 years The
dead of the family received the honor
Of burial in the nave of the old paris 4
church at Mepple. Her father was of
Dutch and Irish extraction.
The expenses of the famous corona
ton were borne by Miss Dempsey her
self, who, although she lives very sim
ply, is we'll endowed with this world S
goods. There is quite romantic story
connected with the coming inCo this
fortune. Over the Hudson on the high
lands above Fort Lee the Dempseys of
tensive landed estate. There they built
a great stone mansion, where the heads
of the family lived. There were feuds
in the family, however, and some of the
Dempseys removed from the ancestral
acres to make another fortune for
themselves. There was the usual com
plication of lost will, and the estate
babe fair to go out of the family alto
gether, when Miss Dempsey and her
two brothers found The missing will and
triumphantly claimed the gold and
acres of the Dempseys.
To Miss Dempsey's interest in Hoi-
land and her Dutch ancestors is due the
idea of the Holland DANES Society.
There is a Holland society to which on
ly men are admitted, and Miss Dempsey
some time ago decided to found SINH
lar one for women. She interested 9TH
er ladies of Dutch ancestry ia the idea.
The requirement for admission to the
national society is line dating back
to 1860 and for admission to state
branches back to 1875.
About the time of the establishment
of the Holland Danes of New Neither
lands another society, the Holland
Danes, was established. 1t is ruled by
a directress general, Mrs. William
Gihon.

1.-THE most curious thing ever heard
of, said Mr.. Savage. Il shall write an
account OF it for the Scientific Investi-

1t was nearly two hours after Peg
gy's departure that a stout gentleman
in a cap rang. the door bell. Mrs. Saw
age answered it in person. There stood
before her stout gentleman, who wore
cloth cap.

few inquiries concerning a girl you
hired about three weeks ago-a colored
girl named Peggy, l should like my
inquiries to be quite private for the
present, if you please"
Mrs. Savage instantly summoned her
husband and sister. The parlor doors
were closed, and the visitor began:
81 do not wish the girl to suspect
anything as yet. If you can keep her
from leaving the house, you will oblige
me-"
"She left us this morning" said Mrs.
Savage.
Il am very sorry to hear that" said
the gentleman. Pray, may / ask if
anything singular occurred during her
stay?"
Sir" said Mr.. Savage, something
singular did occur. 1 presume you
hope to investigate the phenomena?
"Well, SIR" said the other 81 don't
call it that, you know. l see you've

He hadn't any. His initials were
marked on his linen, but that trick
was no good. We questioned him as to
his grandparents, father, mother,
brothers and sisters. We required the
name, age, height and weight of every
girl he had ever escorted home from
church. We compelled him to tell how
many shirts and collars he had, how
often he took a bath, when he had cut
his toenails last, and whether he slept
on his back with his mouth open or
shut. Four or five of us had him in
room for three long hours, and the fact
that he was half-scared to death and
that we had all suffered from rep-tape
kept things red-hot. Even when l took
pity on him and identified him as the
cashier of the Blank Bank of Blank

Wasn't he absconding with the bank
funds? To settle the matter, we had
to search him and his room, and though
of course we found nothing, the hotel
detective wrote down the young mans
description, even to the porous plaster
on his back. After putting him
through the mill for half the afternoon
it was decided that he hadn't done any
thing for which he could be sent to
State prison, and he was turned loose.

LAVlNIA
VAN WESTERVELT
DEMPSEY,
Queen of the Holland
Danes.
downright. 1SSa.l

Miss Lavinia Van Westeryelt Demp-
sey, the reigning sovereign of the Hol-
land Danes of the New Netherlands,
has achieved the distinction Of having
more columns written about her than
any other club official in the country.
This is owing to the very peculiar for
malities adopted as a part of the rou-
tine Of each meeting of the society. The
members convene in the costumes of
the Holland court of the sixteenth CEN
fury. Miss Dempsey is arrayed in a
royal robe and wears on her head a
magnificent jeweled crown manufac-
tured especially fer her. Its cost is said
to have been 100000 When her royal
highness Queen Lavinia puts on the
crown, she pushes through it several
diamond hatpins in order to keep it in
place.
The royal robe which she wears at
court functions is of turquoise blue'vel-
vet, the train having an ample length
of six yards lined with orange colored
satin and ermine. The skirt, or rather
such portion of it as shows in front
from under the velvet train, is of white
silk embroidered with tulips. A sin
gle large tulip framed in rows or to-
PAGES is embroidered on the orange Gre
pom vest of the bodice. The neck is
cut low and finished with medici coll
lar of silver lace sparkling here and
there with diamonds. The sleeves are
great pulled affairs, five puffs gradual
ly increasing in size from the wrists
to the shoulders. The scepter Of gold
which the queen carries in her hand on
state occasions is tipped with NINA
ture tulip set with diamonds.
At court drawing rooms Queen La
vinia sits upon throne of gilded wood.
It's spreading arms afford ample room
for the draperies Of the queen. The
chair is of course upholstered in orange
