ing on different footing
Concerning the cards that should be
left. A mother leaves her own card,
with her daughters names upon it, but
rot her husbands card, as, naturally,
he is not invited. A young married
LADY, on the contrary, does leave her
husbands cards, he having been invit-
ed, and. whether present or not, his
cards, in consequence, are left. When
young girls. are invited without their
mothers by the friends and acquaint-
ances of the latter the same routine Of
card leaving is followed, the mothers
cards are left, with the daughters
names upon them. Cards are also left
after dance by all those invited, yet
not able to be present, save when pre-
vented by illness, when cards cannot
be left.
Afternoon entertainments have re-
leased themselves in a measure from
subsequent card leaving in two ways.
After very large functions the guests
leave their cards in the hall on de-
parture, or they leave them on arrival
on table as they enter. and this ap-
plies equally to large afternoon at
homes within doors and to garden par
ties also large, both in town and coun-
try. The other mode of emancipation
takes effect after small afternoon at
homes and garden parties, when TO
leave cards would be considered over
ceremonious, either on the day of the
entertainment or subsequently, save in
the case of first invitations.
Some of the young folks of Newark,
says the New York Sun, have a way
of staying so late at Coney Island on
Sunday nights in summer that they
have to trolley across the Jersey salt
meadows to their homes in the wee
sma' hours of Monday morning. Last
Sunday was no exception.
In the throng that just comfortably

Jersey City to Newark were many wo-
men who had started out from ten to
twelve hours earlier wearing their new

in soon made the white arms and
shoulders which peeped through the
lace and gauze blue and shivery.
On the front seat, exposed to all the
fierceness Of the blast, sat a little bru-
nette, the opennesss of whose waist
was proportional to the prettiness of
its owner. She was a born leader, as
the event soon proved.
Rising from her seat and bracing
her feet so that no sudden Jolt should
make her seem inf1rm of purpose or
understanding. she turned and cast a
defiant look at the fifty or sixty per-
sons who were watching. Then she
gathered up her skirt with both hands.

in suppressed murmur from half the
men in the car.
ITS a good idea," replied one Of the
girls only less determined than the pi-
oneer skirt-raiser on the front seat.
The rest of the women with purple
arms and shoulders thought soy too,
and for the next five minutes there was
spreading of sail and fiuttering of
petticoat such as even Jersey has sell
dom witnessed.

There are a few regular occasions on
which every pretty girl feels inclined
to give vent to her feelings by good
cry" One is when her plain sister en-
tiers into the bonds of matrimony with
an exceedingly good looking man.
1t is very notifying, If you happen
to be pretty, to be left out in the cold,
and the pretty girl never has UNDER
stood, and never will understand, how
1t is. And perhaps it is really good
thing for the beauty of the family that
she is so ignorant on this matter. If she
fully comprehended the brain workings
of that strange creature Man, matri-
mony would lose it's dearest charm.
The handsome man, says the New
York Tribune, marries the plain girl
Cry as we WILL this is a fact, and one
that we may test the actually of every
day If we will.
To take up the question of forlorn
beauty. Why is it? A man who is good
looking must admire beauty. He does
admire it; he cannot help himself. Then
why, the pretty girl inquiries. does he
marry her palmer sister?
The answer may best be found in
the letters Of twelve intelligent men
on the subject of choosing a wife. Each
one stated seriously what qualities he
would look for in a possible partner,
and set them down in order, the most
important first, the less important fol-
lowing.
Taking an average, their ideal was to
be as follows: "a Kind-hearted, true
and sympathetic; (2), lively and fond
Of children; () proud of herself for the
sake of her friends; ~ a good house,
keeper and a busy bee; 90 a graceful
figure and beautiful; 90 wealthy and
clever.
The plain girl scores at once with
her sympathy; 1t Is her chief and most
powerful weapon against q man. The
girl with good looks has no need to
find friends by being sympathetic, and
(. is doubtful If people would believe
her sympathy to be genuine. At all
social gatherings the plain girl is so
much alone that her manner appears
at once modest and retiring. Let a
handsome man give her half an hour
of his company and her whole mind Is
bent on being agreea BILE. But the pretty
girl has a score of men to talk to, and
falls into a habit of inattenuon. The

1t was not until the train reached the
station at Buffalo that the genial trav-
eler saw the young couple again. They
alighted from the train, and the man
was carrying a large dress suit case,
while the girl staggered under the
weight of a heavy-looking satohel.
The young groom, still wearing the
Prince Albert and white tie, walked
straight up to the genial traveller, not
recognizing him from the evening be-
fore.

grief is spent
That tore his soul with agony, and did

Past the drear present to that glorious

Where parting is not. neither grief nor

But from his heart a hope as Heaven

And from his soul love that Knocked

Albert had been attentive all winter
but had not come to the point. The
fact that she was leaving for Knoll on
the Roost hustled him. He wrote her
that when he came that evening he
would have something to say, some
thing on which depended the happiness
of his whole life. A green girl, says
Clara Belle in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
would have known what to expect.
Miss Foxy has had a lot of experience
and she did not let on a bit. She wore
a white gown with wide meshed inser-
lions, through which could be seen pink
ribbons in her corset cover and other
less tangible, but she believed, more
unsetling details. When he came she
had been packing all day, that the
flowers were lovely, how good of him
to send them, and then she sighed and
left him to get down to business. He
did, right off. He called her "darl-
ing" and began:
"You must know, you must have
seen, l know I have made it clear and
your own heart must guess that 1 love
you, that my every thought is of you. ="

She laid firm hand on his shoulder

first named ranged up TO ~ over last

of the day, but Amalgamated retained
all but a small fraction. Its subsidiary
stock was also firm at or above last

Tennessee Coal was firm, in sympa-

Minneapolis. st. Paul and Sault Ste

the preferred 3. There was some firm
ness in one or two of the prominent rail-
road stocks. but the tendency of the
general list was lower. The factors, in
following the market. were practically
the same as those of yesterday. The
threat Of a strike by the anthracite
miners vas a widespread influence and
Wall street opinion is by no means so
confident against the probability of the
strike as was profesSed on Monday.
A violent break in Evansville and

Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville

part of the loss. The coalers themselves
as a rule were only slightly affected by
the labor situation, but Lackawanna
made a violent break of Az points.
The coming adjournment of the ex-
change from Thursday until Monday
had the usual effect Of causing a clos
ing up of contracts.
There is some fear that the demand
in the loan market to carry over stocks
from Thursday until Monday will cause
q furry in call loan rates tomorrow.
There is a possibility, also, that a poor
bank statement will be published in the
interim. The possible breaking off of
negotiations for peace in South Africa
before trading is resume was taken
account of as we'll as the apparent APP
preach of the end of the career of Cecil
Rhodes. which was. in fact, reported on
the exchange late in the day. The mar
ket closed easy.
There was a yielding tendency to the
prices of bonds in sympathy with
stocks. Green Bay and Western de-
benture BIS were an exception with a
rise of 11a. Total sales, par value, were
50. 500. 900. United States bonds were all
unchanged on the last call. Total sales
of stocks today were 419, 400 shares.
