Old China as Table Decorations.

Georgina, countess of Dudley, is SAID
to have been the first hostess who
grasped the possibilities of old pieces
of gold and silver as table decorations.
Old china lends itself to this pur-
pose as readily, as was proved at the
dinner party given ny Baron and Bar
oness Alphonse de Rothschild this
week in their fine mansion, Rue Saint
Florentin. The flowers were the price
less orchids for which the baron's con-
servatories at Ferrieres are celebrated,
and the golden and mauve tints of the
exquisite blossoms were thrown into
harmonious relief by the pieces of
green Sevres china placed on the
table. A London hostess not long ago
made sensation by decorating her
table entirely with La France roses
and using dinner service of pink
sevres, matching the flowers perfectly.

How could I help it," said The
Man, pressing his lips against her
soft cheek.
Anything? Are you sure; are you
very, very sure?" and her sweet gray
eyes looked searchingly into his own.
Il am very sure;" The Man said
simply.
"Then sit down in this chair; l have
something to tell you," said Phi1o,
meme. The Man obeyed wonderingly.
Philomsne stood behind where he
could not see her, and said, very
slowly and hesitatingly:
In Italy, three years ago, I was
the mistress of the Count d'Orsay."
The Man stopped breathing! his
face grew horrible ashen gray, and
his lips lost every trace of color.
Il can't believe it" he gasped.
Il swear to you that it is true"
said Philomene solemnly.
And it was true. For the Count
d'Orsay was my father. and it was
while Philomene was in Italy that he
was given to her.
The Man sat for a long time with
his face hidden in his hands, but he
did not speak. At last Philomene said,
ever so gently and sorrowfully:
Nov you know, dearest, how great
my love is for you. True love is al.
ways forgiving. Is your love for me
as great as mine for you? loved the
Count d'Orsay"-The Man shuddered
with purer, truer love than ever
you bestowed on Helen Burnett.
Surely that ought to count in my
favor. And some day, dearest, when
you have forgiven me fully, l will ex-
plain it all, and you will be glad that
you loved me so we'll, loved me
enough to forgive me, as have for.

your love is as great as mine, you

room where my mistress sat with a
strange, frightened look on her face

say, you have right to know, and I
will tell you all-the whole truth"
Eyes, DEAR" said Philomene. "all of
it, please"
Il met Helen Burnett at a recep.
ton given by an artist friend in Lon.
don. Her wonderful beauty of face
and form caught me, and before I
knew it was, as l thought, desper.
ately in love with her. She was an
actress-not so great on the stage
as she was off it-as discovered to
my sorrow. We left London together
and went to Paris
"You married herr"
"Well-no, not-you see, she had a
husband living somewhere and she
had not yet secured"
A low moan from Philomene caused
a spasm of pain to cross The Mans
face. He hesitated and then went on.
But intended to marry her just
as soon as l could do so. Then one
day, some kind friend-L never knew
who, but l have blessed him ever
since-told her that had reached the
end of my fortune; that l was prac-
tically beggar. When she came to
me and asked me if the report was
true the mist cleared from my eyes,
and saw her as she really was. To
get rid of her was my only thought,
and so did not deny the rumor, but

Later when she found out that she
had been duped, she was furious at
the loss Of her prey, and she swore
she would some day get even with
me-. Fearful of what she might do,
! sent friend to her with instructions
to buy from her my letters. She sold
them to him for an enormous price;
but It seems that she kept a few OF
them. She has sent them to you
and-well- and that is ALL"
Philomene looked at The Mans
haggard face and a sweet pity stole
over her own. Then she slipped quiet
" around behind him and put her
arms around his neck and pressed
her face close to his cheek.

next to my father, she loves me bet

Philomene wasn't around: Paddy,

things to The Man himself I can't

The Man had his arms around her,
and the light from the fire made her
