She there fore sat by herself on the piazza pre- tending to read a novel, but in reality thinking upon the lesson of her life Was she not when at home playing the part played by Mrs. Dole? She was obliged to admit that she was though in a different way. She had q kindly word and a smile for every one. As to her invitations and those she accepted, she acted as she had q good right to act-upon her own sweet will She had never known any other surroundings than those of wealth arl she could not possibly be snob. She thought much upon reforms she would like to make on her return, but they did not upon consideration seem prac ticable

Presently Mrs. Jones in simple travelling costume came out of the inn with the landlady, to whom she gave kiss at parting, entered the carriage and was driven away.
 There was consternation on the part of every woman of the clique. What did 1t mean? Who was Mrs. Jones? Did she own the equipage? What was such an equipage doing at point so remote from the city? The landlady told them that they had been snubbinG the celebrated Mrs. Fordyce-Jones whom they all had heard of but to whose exclusive circle none of them had ever got within even telephone distance: that one of her country resi- fences was distant but a days journey and she had dct &nined to ride there in her own carriage.

FOR LOVERS FAIR"
MAIDS OF LUxEMBURG ARE AL.
 READY PREPARING.
On the First Thursday in December the Great Event, with Its Oid-Time Customs and Ceremonies,
 Takes Place.

Although the happy day is still some months away, the fair maids of Lux emburg who have not yet been fortu- nate enough to secure husband, have begun to prepare for Lovers fair. New dresses are being made, old ones repaired, and all the subtle arts known to womankind the world over are be- ing brought to bear upon the problem of making the unattached daughters or the household irresistible in the eyes of the eligible young men.
 Every year on the first Thursday in December, the peasants of this hilly province flock into it's chief town, Ar lon, in char-a-bancs, carts and every other description of vehicle in order to attend the curious ceremony. The young people strike up acquaintance, while their parents exchange conf- dences as to the possibility of a match. The young men, who invariably are dressed in their best black clothes, of fer presents to the girls of their choice and even go so far as to claim formal engagement. These operations take place openly in streets, in houses of refreshment and in the public gar dens.
 All this, however, is but prelim- mary and of but slight interest con- pared with what follows. If two young folks become mutually attached at this fair" the respective families apply to a marriage broker, or, as he is called. "a holy man. This person becomes the honored guest in the house of the parents of both contracting parties. He makes himself acquainted with their exact social position, their habits Of life. their tastes transmits these de- tails to the "other side" indicates how housekeeping may best be started on the given conditions; in short. he fixes up" the marriage. These brokers or holy men are generally counted as first-rate trenchmen and wine swallow CTS All the same they are held ts< considerable esteem by the two fam lilies, at whose table they are accord ed the place of honor.
 A month later-that is to say, on the first Thursday in the New Year there is a second fair" at Arlon. Here the lovers formally plight their troth, the families give their mutual consent to the union, and the broker receives his uneration-consisting of a commission on the amount of the dowry, and, in accordance with an an cient custom, a pair of top boots and a top hat.

HABIT THAT MEANS HAPPINESS.
Kindly Attitude of Mind Is Above All
 Things Worldly.

A habit of holding a kindly attitude of mind toward everybody has pow erful influence upon the character. It lifts the mind above petty jealousies and meannesses: it encircles and en- larges the whole life. Where we meet people, no matter if they are stran- gers, we feel certain kinshfp with and friendliness for them, if we have formed the goodwill habit.
 In other words, the kindly habit, the goodwill habit, makes us feel more sympathy for everybody And if we radiate this helpful, friendly feeling others will reflect 1t back to us.
 On the other hand. if we go through life with a cold, selfish mental atti- tude. caring only for our own, always looking for the main chance, only thinking of what will further our own interest. our own comfort. totally in- different to others, this attitude will, after while. harden the feelings and the affections. and we shall become dry. psssimistic and uninteresting.

A Common DeIinQuent.

The dean of normal college, in a talk before the student body, was de- ploring the practice common among children of getting help in their les. sons, and the tendency among parents to give it too generously. AS an illus tration he told the following incident:
 The mother of small pupil in a Chicago school had struggled through the problems assigned for the child's next lesson, and had finally obtained what appeared to be satisfactory re. suits. The next day. when the little girl returned from school, the mother inquired with some curiosity:
 Were your problems correct, dearT
 No, mamma" replied the child. They were all wrong"
 All wrong?" repeated the amazed parent. "Oh, I'm so sorry!"
 Well, mamma you don't need to be sorry" was the reply. All the other mammas had theirs wrong, too."- Youths Companion.

Found the Proper Head.

A bright girl in a large school ap piled to her teacher for leave to be absent half a day, on plea that her mother had received telegram which stated that company was on the way,
 Its my fathers half sister and her three boys" said the pupil anxiously, "and mother doesn't so how she can do without me, because those boys al ways act SO dreadfully"
 The teacher referred her to the printed list of reasons which justified absence, and asked if her case came under any of them.

 My son." said old Azhderean, today you are to journey to the city. You will take the iig iron kettle to the smithy to be mended You will pass on your way the farm of Doshall, whose goat We have in our keeping. and you will leave the goat with him. shall also send him by you fat hen as a token of my friendship. Prepare yourself Dragan, that you may be able to sci out before the sun is too high"
 When the young man was ready his father put the kettle on his head and a cord in one hand, the other end of which was tied around the goats neck In the same hand he placed the legs Of live chicken, while in the other hand was a staff to help the overladen youth on his way. When all had been al justed Dragan started on his journey He was heavily loaded, but was youne and strong and withal possessing much manly beauty. He had not gone out Of hearing before his father called to him:
 Do not take notice of any women my son. They are full of cunning. Be ware of them"
 T am not likely in this condition to fall into the tolls of any of them, fa fher. l have too much burden already" Dragan journeyed with the kettle on his head, leading the goat, holding the chicken in one hand and helping him self by his staff. He had not gone far before the road on which he was walk Ing joined with another. Where tue two roads came together Dragan fell in with girl about his own age with a supple figure and comedy face. for this was in Circassia. where the women nave great reputation for beauty.
 Good morning." said Dragan "Whither do you journey
 T go to the city. And your"
 T go to the city too. We may jour ney together"
 You are stranger to me-" said the girl timidly.
 That may be, but could do you no harm laden as I am even if 1 should so wish"
 The girl, thus assured, permitted Dragan to walk beside her.
 Casting his eyes aside-he could not turn his head for the kettle-he saw an oval face, an olive complexion, pair oi lustrous dark eyes, timid as fawn's ana two thick braids of jet black hair indeed, she was goodly to lpok upon and he could not but regret that his hands were tied, so tempting were hcl red lips.
 fresently they approached dark ra Vine' The girl stopped and said:
 I'm afraid to go in there with you u IS lonely place. You might over power me and kiss me-"
 Since you do not trust me-" said pragan, you should not have walked With me at all"

 But, supposing were minded to oVerpower you and kiss you, how could

l do so? The kettle on my head is heavy and requires all my strength. should have to let go the chicken, which would be lost to me. The goat. too, would scamper away"
 And Dragan thought of what his fa- ther had told him of the cunning of women. It occurred to him that this one was very stupid.
 But" said the girl, evidently not satisfied and casting her eyes on the ground, there is a way, notwithstand- ing all this. that you might overpower and kiss me"
 How is that?"
 You might stick your staff in the ground, tie the goat to it, turn the ket- tie upside down and put the chicken under 1t Then you might overpower me and kiss me in spite of all 1 could do, neither losing the goat nor the chicken
 Dragan stood for a moment aston ished at this ingenuity He would nev- CT have thought of such an eXpedient Then they walked on to the ravine. q nd when they came to it he stuck his staff in the ground, tied the goat to 1t and. lowering the kettle. endeavored to force the chicken under it. But it was heavy, and when upside down on the ground he found difficulty in rais- ing it. So he said to the girl: After all. I cannot overpower you and kiss you, for l cannot get the chicken under the kettle. It will fly away" At any rate" she said. "now that you are free from your burdens you might cut some grass for the goat. The poor creature looks famished."
 "How can do that with the chicken in my hand?"
 Rather than that the goat shall starve I will hold the chicken" He gave the girl the chicken. which struggled to be free and engaged her attention so that he easily overpow- cred her and wickedly kissed her.
 Dragan was gone from home much longer than his father had expected, and when he returned it was with a wife
 How is this, my son?" said the old man mournfully. Did I not warn you against the cunning of woman?"
 And did l not tell you, father. that was so laden that could have noth- Ing to do with any womanW
 "Well, then, explain"
 'I saw" said the young wife, that your son was weary and the goat was hungry and the chicken. poor thing, was suffering from being carried Wl,h its head downward. l suggested that Dragan rest and feed the goat and give me the chicken to hol0. He did this and. being free wickedly over powered me and kissed me. Having kissed me once he kissed me again and again. Then he forced me to go with him to priest and marry himT
 Alas" exclaimed the old man, there is no refuge from a cunning woman
