The summer previous Mrs. Trent's
only sister, well-to-do, childless, living
in fashionable apartment house in
large city, and quite in the swim"
had been ordered absolute rest and
quiet from her social duties and her
charities. Seeking such reposo she had
come to visit her sister in the country
township Of Kaowoc, and found the
experiment a success. When she re-
turned to town she had taken her eld-
est niece with her. Ethel was a beauty
and Mrs. Morton had announced to her
husband her intention 10 give the girl
chance. Mr.. Morton never denied
his wife anything; moreover, he, too,
had taken fancy to the girl and the
chance was given with no niggard
hand.
II would be hard to tell whether
Mr.. or Mrs Morton was most pleased
at the sensation which Ethel made,
most delighted when the head of the
firm of Wilson & Co., of which Mr.
Morton was n junior member. asked
Ethel to marry him. Neither of them
imagined the possibility of refusal,
although the suitor was twice her age
The old chronicle tells us that when
Alcldes, having gone through all the
fatigues of life, took bride in
Olympus, he ought to have selected
Minerva. but he chose Hebe. Other
mon since then have done tho same
thing, and no one. not even the bride
elect, thought of the difference Of age
as an objection. Ethel did not say
yes. and thank you" but she felt it.,
and her behavior on the occasion was
generously rewarded by her aunt and
her uncle-in-law. Ethel had the sat
isfaction of knowing that her trous-
seau would be all that could be de-
sired.
As for Rob Hills, Ethel never took
him into consideration; as she said.
why should she? Half the young men
in Kaowoc were more or less in love
with her. Rob was her brothers
/ special friend, and so, oftener at the
/ house than any of the others, but
much more was taken for granted than
| had ever been said.
Bertha Trent, four years younger
/ than her sister, admired Ethel beyond
measure. She herself was barely good
looking. and accustomed to be over
shadowed by her brilliant sister upon
all occasions, she was content with re-
fected glory and never thought to be
| jealous
Only now was she disappointed when
| everyone else was praising Ethel for
that she had done so well to herself
Bertha was intensely loyal, and she
loved Rob better than she even knew,

The Englishman writing about Chi
namen immigrating to Calcutta from
the Canton districts. and then finding
wives among the lower classes of the
Eurasian community, makes the re-
mark that the children of these mar
riages are generally educated on west
ern lines, that Is to say. they are
taught to speak, read and write Eng
lish, and are given a grounding in
arithmetic and accounts. They are
then apprenticed TO their fathers
trades. This fact may partly account
for the rapidity with which Cinnamon
are ousting natives OF iadia in the
business Of shoemaking and carpen-
try, which they have made their own
in Calcutta" Burmah opens out a
good field for Chinese immigration.
says the Mandalay Herald, and the
only wonder is that the government
does not sufficiently encourage China
men immigrating hither. Down at
Australasia Cinnamon have flocked in
shoals, some contracting marriages
with European women, and from past
experience have been found TO be good
factors and formidable rivals not only
in commerce, but in the several handi-
crafts of trade, so much so that their
immigration into the colonies has been
made prohibitive by taxes and other
heavy obligations.-Lahore Tribune.

No singing artist since the days Of Pattt

thusiasm Nine. Sembrich has in New York

particularly remarkable when one stops TO
consider that she is the greatest Of sing
ing artists; but what is especially notable
are the evidences of alteration showered
upon her on all sides, especially by the
women. The New York papers have ac-
corded Sembrich and her company the
highest praise. and the critics unite in
their tributes to her ability. Sembrich
is to sing with her own opera company at
Engiish's the evening of the 18th in Doni-
zettfs tuneful work, Don Pasquale," and
there is reason to believe hat she will have
