is a French nobleman, and If you refuse
him you viii offend your father"
81 do that in some way every hour"
said Mary, $50 it doesn't matter
There is Charlie now," said Mary,
as the bell rang, and she ran into the
hall to meet him.
Mrs. Carlen was the wife of west
ern congressman serving his first
term. He was rich and was what is
known as an accidental statesman.
That is, his election was the result of
an accident, and both he and his wife
determined to improve the opportunity
by negotiating a brilliant marriage
for their daughter. They had selected
a visiting French count for a son-in-
law, and the affair had proceeded so
far that even the amount of the brides
dover was agreed upon.
Mary was not party to the plan,
for she was in love with Charlie In
gals, who lived in their home town,
and who would graduate the next year
from the Columbian Law school in
Washington. His studies were at this
time somewhat neglected on account
of the presence of Mary in the capt.
tai.
Mrs. Carlen was provoked over her
daughters obstinacy, and determined
to give ingalls, to understand that he
was no longer welcome at the Carlen
home.
heoopened the subject at once when
he entered the parlor, piloted by Mary.
''Mr. Ingalls," said she, after the
usual greetings, "as an old friend of
the family, I want to tell you of Mary's
engagement to Count Villeroy.''
Ingalls, looked at Mary. She pursed
up her lips and shook her head.
what barber shop is the count
working in?'' he asked, seriously.
what do you mean?" asked Mrs.
Carlen, frowning.
Nothing" replied Ingalls,, "onIy
have noticed thatan the French counts
are BARRIERS and walters, or the like"
Absurd
''Oh, if Mary loves him it is all right,
for a barber may make good hus-
band, you know"
eff your remarks were made in his
presence he would punish you Sc
verely."
81 don't get shaved in his shop, so he
will have no chance at me-" said In
gals, laughingly. But what do you
say to a walk. Mary?"
"rn be ready in five minutes and
she darted upstairs.
Now, Mr.. ingalls," said Mrs. Carlen,
after Mary had gone, 81 do not desire
to play the cruel parent, but must in
sist that your visits to Mary cease. She
shall marry the count, and you must
see that your attentions are very disa-
greeable to me-
''But I don't want to marry you,''
said ingalls,, grinning, sits Mary, and
we are engaged, you know
without my consent?"
"Yes. We are both Of age, you

BATHROOM PoRTIERE.
Materials That Are Effective and Use-
fuI in Working Out the Design
Given Herewith.

A bathroom portiere should be OF
material that will not spoil if splashed
with water. Linen is very suitable, es-
pecially the heavier makes, and any of
the rough kinds of oatmeal cloth,
frieZe or serge could also be used. A
most effective working of the design
given herewith may be carried out in
the following way: Choose a heavy
linen huckaback for the material, and
darn the entire design in shades OF sea
green Harris thread. Thread is pre-
ferable to crewel, because, though
there is nothing to equal crewel for
bold, effective workings, it is not suit
able in this instance, as it viii shrink
if wet. 1t may be safely used on frieze
or serge, or any wooden material, as
then the whole thing will be equally
affected by the damp and hot-stealu of
the bath.
If the entire design is darned, be
sure that the darning all runs one way,
as it never looks SO well if done in diff
ferent directions; but variety may be
obtained by working the plants in half
outline with heavy veining, and in this
case few extra veins should be add
ed or the leaves will look meager. A
good way of increasing the effect of
veins is to make a series of small dots
on each side by working two stitches
one over the other. This may be done
with the center vein only, leaving the
others plain.
The water lines should be strongly
defined and worked in thick stem or
rope stitch. The darned do1phins will
require outlining, and for this and the
veining of the fins, ETC., a darker
shade than that used for the darning
should be employed. The coloring may
be varied little by using green for the
plants, a bluer shade of green for the
dolphins and a still bluer shade for
the water. This design is rather mas
sive for solid work, though a good
solid effect may be produced in laid
stitch, but an objection to this with
some would be the necessity for doing
it in frame.
Lay the threads evenly from side to
side of the space to be covered, and if
