Another Shower.

One of the most elaborate and
beautiful entertainments ever given in
this city, was the "Whitc Shower"
given by Mrs. Samuel Daniels at her
home on Washington street Tuesday
from three to FIVE thirty in the after
noon, in honor of Miss Lille Schaper.
About sixty ladies were present,
whose names we have not had time
to secure. This was one of the larg-
est and most pleasant gatherings
among the numerous entertainments
given this season. The home was
most beautifully decorated in white
and green and the afternoon was most
happily and pleasantly spent. At
five O'Clock a three course luncheon
was served and all those present
speak most highly OF the manner in
which the hostess planned and SO
nicely took care of the large Assem-
blage. Many and numerous and
valuable presents were received and
Mrs. Daniels can well congratulate
herself on her splendid grneralship in
taking care of SO many and making
it SO pleasant for all.

ming with the phontic value of the let
ters. The spelling books--we recog-
nize it nowhere designed to make
learning easy. Long lists of words of
similar sound but with different initial
letters were given, and possibly with
one or two exceptions or variations
sandwhiched in. The ear and the
mind, from frequent repetition, grew
accustomed to a certain combination,
and, once learned, it was never for
gotten.

The fact that it is something to use on
the table does not help him. I turn
to the preface of the book and see if
can find what Rossetti would call
"the fundamental brain work" under
lying the system, and learn that SPELL
ing, forsooth, should be taught "by
an association of ideas!" Now, spelt-
ing is not an association of ideas. it is
an association of sounds. If you
teach it by association of the idea of
sound, we'll and good. Why should
the child be robbed of the help which
association of sound would give himl
Why should each word be made an
exception and have to be learned by
distinct mental process1 Why are
the theories of Pestolozzi and Froc bel
TINS clumsily mispelled.
The farmers of the old-fa shioned
memory systems depends on the asso-
citation of ideas, and justly so, for they
taught lists Of unrelated words They
would have been the last to depend
on it for the teaching of English SPELL

help - the linked chain of similar

H Ei1kL, we nave now CO search
 for Athos," said DArta-
 w gnan to the vivacious Ar
 amis when he had inform ed him of all that had passed since their departure from the capital and a good dinner had made one of them forget his theology and the other his fatigue.
 Do you think, then, that any harm can have happened to himY' asked Aramis. "Athos is % cool, so brave and handles his sword so skillfully."
 There is no doubt of all that But I fear lest Athos should have been beaten down by a mob of serving men, This is my reason for wishing to set out again as soon as I possibly can." ''I will try to accompany you said Aramis, though scarcely feel in con- dition to mount on horseback. When do you mean to set out ?" ~ Tomorrow at daybreak."
 ''Till tomorrow, then," said Aramis. "for, iron nerved as you. are. you must stand in need of repose."
 The next morning when DArtagnan entered Aramis' chamber he found him standing at the window.
 "What are you looking at there?" asked D'Artagnan.
 'eI am admiring three magnificent horses which the stable lads are lead ing about. It would be a pleasure worthy of . prince to travel upon such horses"
 "Well, nay dear Aramis, you may enjoy that pleasure, for one of those three horses Is yours, with its capari- son."
 "What, those rich holsters. that vel vet housing, that saddle studded with silver, are they all mine? Why, it must have been the king who made you such a present"
 "To a certainty it was not the car dinal, but be satisfied that one of them is your property"
 "I choose that which the red headed boy is leading"
 ..Have it. th"n."

Nothing" replied Aramis. nothing" 1"
 "So you renounce the world. then, forever: that is settled thing; a res- olution decreed?
 "Forever! You are my friend today, tomorrow you will be no more to me than shadow, or, rather, even you will no longer exist for me. As for the world. it is. sepulcher and nothing else"
 'Well, then, let us say no more about it." said D'Artagnan, land let us burn this letter, which. no doubt, announces to you some fresh. infldenty of your servant maid"
 "What letterw cried Aramis eagerly
 "A letter which was sent to your abode in your absence and which was given to me for you"
 "But from whom is that letter."
 "Oh, from some heartbroken waiting woman of Mime. de Chevreuse, per haps, who was obliged to return to Tours with her mistress and who in order to appear smart and attractive, stole some perfumed paper and sealed her letter w1thsa duchess coronet."
 What do you say?"
 "Well, I really think must have lost it," said the young man maliciously, while pretending to search for it.
 'D'Artagnan, D'Artagnan," cried Aram1s. "you are killing me"
 'sWell, here it is at lastv' said DAT tagnan as he drew the letter from his pocket.
 Aramis sprang toward him, seized the letter, read it, or, rather, evoured it, his countenance absolutely beaming with delight.
 Thanks, D'Artagnan, thanks" cried he, almost in state of delirium. "She was forced to return to Tours. She is not faithless; she still loves me! Dear friend, let me embrace you! Happiness almost stifles mep' , At that moment Bazin entered with the spinach and the omelette.
 Be of, you scoundrel!' cried Ara mis, throwing his cap in his face. "Order a larded hare, fat capon and four bottles of the best Burgundy! Let us drink, my dear D'Artagnan, and while we do so tell me something about what is doing in the world yon- der"

You see," said he, that | am -re- turned to my original ideas. These plans of retreat have been formed for long time. You have often heard me speak of them, have you not, my friend"
 ''Yes, but I must confess that I al- ways thought you were joking. But I have eaten nothing since 10 o'clock this morning, and am hungry"
 We will dine directly, my friend, only you must please to remember that this is Friday. Now, on such a day I cannot eat meat or see it eaten. If you can be satisfied with my dinner, 1t consists of cooked spinach and fruits. On your account I will add some eggs, and that is a serious infraction of tho rule, for eggs are meat, since they en- gender chickens"
 And so, Aramis, you are decidedly going into the church? What will our two friends say? What will M. de Treville say? They will treat you as q deserter, I warn you"
 "I do not enter the church; I re-en- ter 1t. I deserted the church for the world, for you know that I committed violence upon myself when became a musketeer."
 "Who-I? know nothing about it.
 ''You don't know how quilted the seminary?"
 <'Not at all"
 '"This is my history then" And Ar amis told D'Artagnan how he had been compelled to leave the theological sem mary after killing 2 man in duel fought about a woman. He continued:
 "Athos, whose acquaintance I made about that period, and Porthos, who had taught me some effective tricks of fence, prevailed upon me to solicit the uniform of a musketeer. The king en- tertained great regard for my father, who had fallen at the siege of Arras, and the. uniform was granted. You may understand that the moment is arrived for me to re-enter into the bosom of the church. This wound, my dear D'Artagnan, has been a warning to me from heaven"
 "This wound? Bah! It is nearly healed, and am sure that it is not that which at the present moment gives you the most pain"
 'eWhat do you think 1t is, then?' said Aramfs, blushing.
 "You have one in your heart, Aramis, one deeper and more painful, a wound made by woman
 The eye of Aramis kindled in spite of himself
 "Ah," said he, Assembling his emo tion under feigned carelessness, "ac- cording to your idea. then, my brain is turned! And for whom-for some one !. with whom I have trifled in some gar rison? Fiev
 "I crave your pardon, my dear Ara mfs, but thought you aimed higher"
 Higher? And who am to nourish such ambition? 4. poor musketeer, a beggar and unknown who hates slav- cry and finds himself ill placed in the world"
