ANXIOUS OVER NEW CHINA.
New Table Service VIII Not Ar
rive in Time for State Dinner.

Some anxiety is felt by Mrs. Roose-
welt lest the new china ordered may
not arrive in time for use at the cab
met dinner on December IS. A few
pieces as samples are already here,
and, while the best taste has been
exercised in ordering it, there has
never been a simpler set bought for
the white house. Since her return
to Washington Mrs. Roosevelt has
had verified the inventory of
white house china made by Col.
Bingham. The Lincoln china is
the oldest and most valuable now
in the collection, and, as it was
never half so large or expensive as
the Hayes set, which is the most 'elab-
crate ever bought, there are but few
pieces of it left. This ware has a
red border, and an eagle in the CEN
ter, and there are 1O4 plates of vari-
Gus sizes, seven meat platters, six
fish platters, and few other pieces.
President Johnson seemed to find
enough dishes, for he bought moth
ing new whatever for the white
house. President Grant ordered new
dishes, and for the sake of variety
had them with painted centers and
yellow borders. There are but few
pieces of this ware left. President
Arthur purchased but two dozen des-
sert plates, some Dresden after din
ner cotfees, and a few other small
pieces.
President Cleveland ordered dishes
with lavish hand, and in what is
known as the Cleveland collection
there are nearly a thousand plates
of various shapes and kinds, besides
100 teacups and as many after-dinner
cups and saucers. Not having plates
enough on hand with about 1000 of
the Cleveland collection, besides hun
dreds of others, President Harrison
ordered 800 or 400 more. A great
many odd dishes were ordered by
President Mckinley, but he consid-
cred that there were about enough
plates, for there are but few in the
Mckinley collection.

CHAPTER I.

Have you a room for rent?" I
looked up from the dish-towel which
l was hemming. A bony young
woman stood before me. She wore
a plain gray skirt and jacket, strong
shoes showed from beneath the bind
ing Of her dress; her hat, a plain
black felt was tied on and down with
a veil, but in front a bang of curly
yellow hair peeped and struggled
through. She had a thin face and
high cheek-bones, and a laughing,
anxious eye-a curious combin-
alton.
Come up on the piazza" I said,
and sit down. How long do you
want it for?"
She entered the gate and covered
the few steps to the house. 1 no.
ticed with what a quiet step she
walked, and the thought flashed
through my mind, "She at least will
not disturb Aunt Jane Mary" She
took two broad steps upward with
the same silent tread, and spoke in
a low voice, now that we were close
together.
Il cannot tell for how long," she
said, answering my question. 81 am
here on particular mission. That
mission may be accomplished in
week, and it may take six months.
Are you willing to let me have the
room by the week?"
Now L had never said that I had
a room for rent, but evidently she
had heard somewhere in the neigh
oorhood that did let my lower
rooms when 1 could do so at proper
rates. 1t helped me on with Toms
college bills; and Aunt Jane Mary's
electricity had to be paid for some
how.
The room is on the ground floor,

very much afraid of fire. I have
mad a very unpleasant experience. I
wouldn't go up stairs if you would
give me the solar system" She
looked down as she said these words,
and L was afraid she was going to
burst out crying.
Don't cry, my DEAR" 1 said
don't! Aunt Jane Mary might hear

PLAN A COSTLY CHURCH.
Holy Sect in New York City to
Cost $2O,OOO,OOO.

Catholic clergymen are advocating
the building in New York city of the
largest and most magnificent house
of worship in the world, to cost
$20,OO0,00O. Prominent priests claim
to believe that within the next few
years the holy see may be moved
from Rome to New York. The Dossi-
bility of such change is offered as
an argument in favor of building
great church.
The plans for the church were
drawn by Rev. Father Bouillon, canon
of the Catholic cathedral at Ottawa.
Ont. He is at present a guest of the
Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. in
Brooklyn. The plans contemplate an
edifice more beautiful than the IA
nous st. Sophia, of Constantinople.
and more spacious than st. Peters.

John the Baptist, and Father Beau.
let, of the Dominican church, are
pushing the plans.
The style of architecture proposed
is modern Roman, with all the sub
stantial effects possible, but in the
rise to the dome the light and airy
appearance of Byzantine style is Sc
cured. In shape the plans provide
for a cruciform structure $50 feet
long and $50 feet across the tran
septs. The height is $50 feet from
the pavement to the tip of the cross
surrounding the ball on the dome
The ball is large enough to contain
30 persons.

ROYAL PEDIGREE.
That Everybody in England
Must Have One.


Some years ago, says a writer in
London Truth, had little passage
alarms with a gentleman who was
prepared to prove the royal descent
of almost any man in the street, for
a payment of e10 down. When I
limited some doubt of his bona fides,
he called upon me and showed, by a
fairly plausible argument, that al
most everybody has royal blood in
his veins, if he only knew it. When
you remember, on the one hand, that
you had two grandfathers and two
grandmothers, eight ancestors in the
previous generation, 16 in the gener-
alton before that, and so on, and, on
the other, that as you go back the
population of the country decreases
at the time of the conquest it was
probably not tenth of what it is
now-yOu can easily see that the
present inhabitants of these islands
could not all be supplied with an
ceStors unless the same people were
used over and over again. Each an
cestor must, in fact do duty for so
many descendants that the probable
ity is that we all of US have a great
many of them in common. That is
why the majority of people have
royal progenitors somewhere in the
dim vista of the past.

THE GIRLS OF LONG AGO.

Oh, the dear old-fashioned girl that I
knew long years ago,
When the world, the girl and /, were
in our prime;
She was dear as early snowdrops amid
the springtime snow,
She was sweet as the wild rose Of sum-
mertime,
And she knew just how to make
Pound and sponge and ginger cake!
She could spin and weave and knit the
summer through,
And the butter, cheese and cream!
Why, 1 think I have dream
OF our driving home the cows through
starlit dew!
Oh, these Wanted modern days! nothing
in them can compare
To the husking bees and spelling schools
of old;
Nothing sets my heart a-dance as the
music on the air,
Merry jingling of sleighbells in the cold.
Oh, those days of long ago,
When the winters frost and snow,
Held in close embrace the woodland vale
and pool;
Wrapped in robes and blankets warm
What cared we for wind and storm,
When we gathered at the weekly singing
school!
although the faster
Beats at the mem'ry Of those days Of
long ago;
1t keeps the very time of the dear old
singing master,
UncOnsciously I'm humming some tune
I used to know!
And in memory once more,
At the old red schoolhouse door
I'm waiting for I'VE maid" of olden times,
And 1 feel her fingers small
Lightly on my coat sleeve fall,
While our hearts are beating to the
seighbells' chimes!
oh, the dear old-fashioned girls have with
time grown calm and stately!
For I sometimes meet them in the street
or store;
They nod their pretty heads, smiling at
me most sedately
With flash of eye, or dimple, as Of
yOre.
And in gentle tones, the while,
OF those days we talk and smile,
When we all were happy boys and girls
together!
And the happiest of our themes
Like the dearest of our dreams
Are the singing schools we went to all
together!
Oh, those days Of long ago!
Oh, the boys used to know
Oh, the girls who made life's sunshine
bright and fair
When we've crossed the great
divide"
Passed on the other side,
We shall meet them, know them, greet
them, over therel

then 1 heard the soft rustic of her
skirt-no, not a rustic, nothing
about her rustled; it was simply a
fiap-fap of the front of her dress
against the stairs as she came up

She held out her hands, showing
me the palms of her gray gloves.
They were stained a deep yellow.

sticks so that 1 cannot move it.

soon, and, in fact, neither had I.
Well, his troubles are over. But, do
pardon me, and do get the bed ready
Cor me, or L shall go to sleep out

She leaned back in my rocker, with
her eyes closed, her yellow bang
showing. Her hair, which was coarse
and curly, poked out beneath her veil.
went into the room and opened
the closet-door. 1 took down the
understanding sheets and the pillow
cases. 1 removed the checked cover
from the spread and blankets, and
then 1 went to the window, the pill
low between my teeth, the FELLOWSHIP
between my two hands. ''Don't you
think" l began. The rocker was
empty; there was no one there. I
put my head out of the window to
see where my new lodger had be-
taken herself to. There lay the
ldress-suit case, and there stood the
wheel; then she had not vanished
just as 1 had become easy about
those baseball bills. AS I looked, she
came round the corner of the house.
She yawned again as she saw me,
and said, II am trying to keep awake
until you get that everlasting room
ready. I have been taking a survey
of the premises. You seem to be
pretty lonely out here"
"Oh, mol" said. ''This is the high
road. Lawyer Jennison's house is
only half a mile farther on, and
Farmer Barker, you know, is just a
little way back, not more than a mile
or So"
Getting crowded." said my new
boarder, with laugh. Sand whose
is that large house that I see way off
there on the hill? I suppose those
great iron gates that 1 passed are
the entrance? 1t seems a fine place."
"Oh, that's the Darlington place.
Don't you know about the Darling
tons?"
She turned and clutched the piazza
rail. II am so tired" she said; and
really, I saw that she had grown
pale under her coat of tan. 81 will
hurry" 1 said. $50 you haven't heard
about the clearinghouse" Country
people think that strangers must
know all about their magnates.
: ''The Darlingtons? How should I
know about the Darlingtons? What
should 1 know about the Darling
tons? ] know nothing about any
one here; L come from another coun-
ty. All I know is''-she burst out
laughing and yawned again-"an L
know is that L must get to bed, OF
1 shall sink down on the piazza floor"
She flung herself into the rocker,
and 1 retreated from the window to
hasten the making of the bed. When
it was ready I called to her softly
from the open door, but she had
really fallen asleep, and so I left
her until got fresh water and tow
els. TkSp 1 closed the window softly
and went to her side. I rested my
hand lightly on her shoulder. "Your
room is eady," I said. She did not
awake at once, and gave her gen
tie shake. She sprang to her feet and
stood blinking at me, holding on to
the chair for support.
sJim!" she said. "Jim, is it you?"
Poor creature! My heart weDh out
to her. Thinking of that dead
brother. She had told me that he
was just IS when he went away.
Some people use that expression for
the more solemn word, death.
