Her Lines Are at Last to BE Com
nected With the European Sys-
tenn.
The Greek government has just
signed convention for the construc-
ton Of q railroad from Piraeus to De-
mirly, near the Turkish frontier. The
road is to be completed in four years,
and the section from Piraeus to Liva-
dia is to be in operation in two years.
The line will run through Attica and
Thessaly. 1t is not yet exactly known
ut what point the Ottoman line will
reach the boundary, and so the route
If the short extension Of the Greek line
from Demirly to the frontier is to be
settled later.
When the railroad is completed the
lines of Greece will, for the first time,
be placed in connection with those Of
the rest Of Europe. It will then be
possible to travel all the way by rail
from Athens to Paris. A concession to
build the line was granted in 1889, but
the government declared it forfeited
in 1894, because the company had not
carried out it's agreements. 1t is said
that under the present auspices there
will be no interruption Of the enter
prise, and that the capital of Greece is
certain to be brought into closer rela-
tons with the rest of the world.

Madame In Marquise was one OF the
leading elegantes of Paris. She sci
dom undertook an extensive entertain
ment, but when she did, 1t was en-
phatically success.
Even Herbert forgot for moment
his morbid fancies and hopeless wan
der;ngs, as the sober realities of the
world seemed to melt away, and he
passed into the enchanted dreamland
into which Madame In MarQuise had
transformed her palace.
1t was not all glare. and glitter. and

waited at every turn: but the grand
ball room, with its swinging suns OF

and cages of swinging birds, was but
one feature of this bewildering scene

But by midnight the glamour of the

of talking pretty nothings to unknown

the gay ball room to find more Sc

He was glancing over a portfolio OF
sketches in the oaken gallery, when a
sound reached his ear that made him
start and tremble as with a sudden
shock.

When Il Bachelor Pays Calls.

An unmarried man in calling at a
daughter; or. any married woman and
other womel relatives, leaves ono card
for the host aEu hostess, one for the
daughters, and one for any, guest who
may be staying with them. No matter
how many there may be in the family,
he should leave no more than three
cards. Whatever the terms on which
lie may stand with the brothers or
other masculine members of the fam
lily, he leaves no cards for them at the
time of making his general call ON the
the house, and he leaves card for his
family. The exception is the head of
the house, and he leaves card for
him after he has had a call from him,
or it's social equivalent, an invitation.

CHAPTER xxx.


With that note folded in his breast,
Herbert Give became a wanderer.
All the attractions of the gay European
cities could not induce the handsome
and wealthy young American to lin
ger long within their charmed pre-
cincts, or participate in their dazzling
pleasures.
Like one bound by some mystic
spell, he pursued his restless way,
watching and waiting, day by day, for
some further revelation from his be-
loved one-.some token of her pres
ence, some echo Of her voice.
The energy with which he devoted
himself to the one object Of his life
made him oblivious of all things else.
His letters home wre short and infre-
quent. His manner to the friends he
net seemed cold and changed.

college-mate, meeting him, one day,
grave and distracted, on the streets
Of Paris. "You haven't taken a serl-

To be perpetually young. a woman

her motto. By giving from ten to
twenty minutes Of her time daily to in
telligent exercise she can retain the
suppleness of youth to the last hours

ucation includes the body. and make
her muscles respond to her will, and
understand that Il good digestion is of
more Importance than a knowledge Of

out it life is hardly worth the living.
She will apply a. cheerful philosophy
