Small capotes and slightly larger bon
nets with peaked brims make up the
bulk of the trimmed hats imported from
Paris as models for spring and summer
use. The fish-wife bonnet is most large
ly imported, as its pointed brim has
finally found its way into general favor,
though it is still considered appropriate
and becoming only to young faces. For
these bonnets fanciful materials are em
ployed in combination with straw, the
latter being used mainly for the brim,
while the soft crown is made of etamine,
or lace, dr the tricotlne mixtures of wool
with gilt, or of silk ganz-:. Velvet en
ters into nearly all the bonnets, and a
great deal of ihin crape and of silk tnlle
is arranged in puffed facings for brims,
and in lengthwise pleats or puffs on the

"SHUTTING OUT CARE."

And open the door to our friends;
We may entertain guests at our table.
While friendship with oonrtosy blond*;
We may gather our dear ones about u*—
Our helpmeet and children so fair—
But lot us forget not to banish
From those tender meetinga, dull care.
It watches Ht doors and at windows;
It whistles through crannies and cracks;
It givetli the good man the headache;
It pinches and tortures and rack*.
It aits down unasked at thetablo;
It crouches Ik side the down bed;
It take* all the brightness from slnmher,
It takes all the sweetness from bread.
Of all thing* to make our lives happy,
Of all tilings to make our paths fair,
There is nothing from Homo’s cheerful fireside
Bo sacred like shutting out caro.
Mils. M. A. Kiddm.
Love’s Story.
Mr. Paul Persimmon had just fin
ished his evening toilet.
He waa a handsome young man of
■nm* six-and-twenty verdant springs,
with a yellow mustache and hair to cor
respond, a pink ooinploxiou, like an
overgrown masculine doll, and big blue
eyes whioh were pronounoed “sweet"
by all the young ladies of his acquaint-
auco ; and as ho stood there, in the glo
ries of a pearl-colorcd suit, with luveuder
kid gloves, cameo shirt-studs and an in
tangible odor of eau de patchouly about
his initialed pocket-baudkerobief; one
could but think of the wax young gen
tlemen in the "drapers’ and tailon’ ”
windows on Broadway.
Mr. Persimmon was very handsome,
spoke with a alight lisp and waltzed like
a Parisian—and Mr. Persimmon was on
tbs lookout (or matrimonial promotion 1
“Paul moat marry rich,” said all his
friends. "He oonld no more buffet with
the waves of adverse iortune than a gold
fish oonld swim among Arctio icebergs.
Poor, dear Paul I he must certainly have
a wife with money!"
And ao Mr. Persimmon himself
thought. He had never been educated
to do anything except quote poetry and
look handsome, but these things he cer
tain ly accomplished to perfection. And
he was just issuing from his apartment
in Mrs. Gustabrook’s first-class board
ing house when Major Milfoil met him
face to face,
"Hallo I" cried Mr. Persimmon, cor
dially, extending one trim, little gloved
hand.
“Hallo, old fellow,” responded Major
Milfoil, cavalierly. “I was just coming
np to talk over last night’s party with
yon. Bnt you are going oat—weli, I’ll
walk with yon a part of the way.”
And he passed his arm through that
of Mr. Persimmon, adding:
“Charming evening, wasn’t it?”
“Delightful,” drawled the exquisite,
swinging his tiny ebony cane back and
forth as he walked. “But Miss Ellery
does alwnys give suoh tip-top entertain
ments 1”
“You, at least, appeared to eDjoy it,’’
said his friend, good-humoredly. “I
saw you flirting desperately with some
girl or other I”
Mr. Persimmon smiled, and pulled his
flaxen mustache.
“Ye—esl” he observed, consciously.
“I’ve pretty much made up my mind in
that quarter 1"
“A foregone conclusion, eh?” said
Major Milfoil. “Well, at all events, she
is very protty iij the bright sparkling
style of feminine loveliness, and she
dresses well, too. May I venture to ask
her name, and what may be her local
habitation ?’’
“Oh, of course," asserted Mr. Persim
mon. “I was going to call there this
morniDg as soon as I’d been round by
the club house, and stopped in at the
Montmartere Hotel for a few minutes.
She is staying at No. Meridon
street, and her name is Miss St, Os
borne 1”
“Miss St. Osborne 1"
“Yes—what is there so peculiar about
the name? It’s rather unusual to be
sure, bnt ’’
"And No. Meridon street?”
“Exacty so,” was the somewh..
puzzled answer. “Now will you be
good enough to tell me what you are
opening vour eyes bo wide for?”
"Nothing,” Major Milfoil answered
with a slight shrug of his shoulders;
“except that the Miss St. Osborne who
boards with Mrs. Parker at No.
Meridon street, is a music teacher, and
gives lessons to my brother’s three little
girls.”
Mr. Persimmon stopped short in the
very flood-tide of pedestri&nism that
flows at noonday round the oorner of
Broadway and Fourteenth street, and let
fall the tiny ebony cane in his con sterna
tion.
“Eh?” ho ejaculated, feebly; “a
amnio-teacher ? Why, I always sup
posed she was an heiress."
“Who told yon so?” asked Milfoil,
wonderingly,
“Well, I can’t say that any one ever
told me so," answered Mr. Persimmon:
“bnt—bnt I somehow got tho impres
sion. Why, she wears enoh splendid
solitaire diamonds 1”
“Hired, probably, or borrowed for the
occasion,” suggested Major Milfoil.
“And dresses exquisitely.”
“That’s easily done, If one happens to
have rich relations."
Mr. Persimmon smote his Illy smooth
forehead with his left lavender-kidded
pnlm.
“A mnsio toaeber!" he reiterated,
‘Well, I do say, Milfoil, it’s a deuce of
a shame to pull wool over a fellow’s eyes
in this sort of fashion. Why, she must
bo a regular husband-hunter.”
“Granted that she 1s,” returned Major
Milfoil, quietly, “what are you but a
wife-hnnter ?’*
“Oh—well—no doubt—very possibly,”
acknowledged Mr. Persimmon, not
without a very visible splee of oonfnaion;
“bnt the oases are quite different.”
“Will yon explain to me the differ
ence?" persisted Milfoil, maliciously.
“A mnsio tenoher I Upon my word, it
to disgraceful,” went on Panl Fersim
mon. “And I had almost proposed to
her. Deftr, dear, what a narrow escape
I’ve had,” and he wiped his forehead
with his patohonly-soented pocket hand
kerchief. “Think of me living up in the
fourth floor of a third rate boerding
house and my wife giving lessons to
support us 1”
And as Major Milfoil looked at hto
companion’s effeminate oountenanee and
listened to hto words, he oonld not but
think that Miss St.|Osborno had had e
lucky escape.
Miss Laura BL Osborne was sitting in
fior luxurious room at Mrs. Parker’s
fashionable boarding house that same
morning, looking extremely pretty in a
morning negligee of rose colored cash
mere, while her silky black curls were
tied back with a broad Allot of pink rib
bon, and diamonds sparkled like so many
big, limpid dewdrops on her pretty
Angers. She was a brilliant little bra;
nette, with peaohy-red cheeks, long,
dark eyelashes and brows as black and
perfectly arched as if they had been out
lined with a pencil dipped in jet
Opposite to her, at the mirror, be
tween the two windows, a tall, slendei
girl of eighteen was trying on a plain,
little blaok silk bonnet.
“Are you going already, Estelle?"
fawned the Oriental-eyed beauty,
"1 must, Cousin Laura. I have a
lesson to givo at one o’clock at Mrs.
Demetey’s.”
“Busy little bee I" laughed Miss St
Osborne. “Really, Stella, you make
me almost ashamed of my own doles
far niente life 1”
“But you are rich, Laura, and I am
poor I”
“Nevertheless, yon will not accept
pecuniary aid from me, you haughty
spirited damsel I”
E-telle St. Osborne shook her head.
"I wonld rather be independent,” Baid
she, calmly.
"8o I must remain alone to receive
the visit of my. bandsome little adorer,
Panl Persimmon,” laughed Laura
Estelle looked keenly at her.
“Laura, do yon like Mr. Persim
mon ?”
“A little 1” was the gayly defiant an
swer. “You do not ?”
“I have only seen him at a distance,
you know—but to me ho seems frivolous
and shallow 1”
"He is very handsome," Laura
dreamily observed.
“Yes, bnt beauty is not everything !"
And, so speaking, Estelle St. Osborne
left the room.
Three hours afterward she re-entered
to find Lanra still alone.
“Well, did you enjoy Mr. Persim-
mou’s call ?”
Laura pouted her pretty cherry lips.
“Mr. Persimmon has not been here
at all, Estelle," she answered.
“But I thought he asked permission
to call on. you this morning ?”
“So he did—but it seems that he has
net decided to avail himself of the
granted permission, Estelle 1” with a
bright, sudden toss of the jetty cascade
of onrls, "let’s go for a walk down Fifth
avenue—it is too lovely a day to shut
one’s self np in the house I"
And the two cousins set off for a walk
on the fashionable thoroughfare.
As luok, or rather Onpid, would have
if, almost the first person they met was
Mr. Panl Persimmon himself, saunter
ing gracefully along, in his pearl-oolored
suit and his ebony cane, one arm passed
through that of a gentleman—not, how
ever, Major Milfoii, this time.
Laura’s face brightened — she half
paused—but Mr. Persimmon, averting
his countenance, harried on, and she
conld hear him say in a quiet and aud
ible voice:
“A mere music-teacher 1 I never was
so astonished in all my life | Why, I
supposed "
And distanoe swallowed np tho re
mainder of the spoeoh.
Laura St. Osborne’s chock flushed
scarlet with indignation — her heart
throbbed high.
“Estelle t” she said, “you are right.
He is a fool, and a shallow one at
fhat."
Miss St. Osborno met him at a party
that self-same evening, but neither
sought tho companionship of the othor.
The subtle chains had been snapped
asunder—tho elootrio charm dissolved I
A month Afterward Mr. Persimmon
met a frioud on the street, or rather an
BoqUHlntanoo, one Mr. Howard Boyu-
ton.
"My dear fellow 1" he oriod, seizing
Him by a button of the coat, "to this
true that I hear about you ?’
"Is what true I” Mr. Boynton de
manded, composedly.
"That yon are engaged to Mias St.
Osborne. ”
“Quite trne 1"
"Miss Lanra St. Osborne ?"
"Yos."
“But—she is a musio-toaoher!’’
“’Chat would make not a hair’s differ-
ourspu my estimate of her, oven woro
<t trite,” Mr. Boynton haughtily ob
served. “But it happens that you are
completely mistaken. Miss Estelle St
Osborne gives lessons in musio, thereby
elevating herself in my estimation
through her high-sonled independence;
nut her consin, Miss Laura, to heiress
to a fortune, in her own right, of over
one huudred thousand dollars I" And
Mr. Boynton, extricating himself from
thegraRpof the perfumed little dandy,
walked quietly on, leaving the latter
gentleman transfixed with astonishment
and dismay.
Ha-bad let the heiress- slip through
Ilia fingers after all I And’ a hundred
thousand dollars I Panl Persimmon
grew pale os he thought of it I
\ “It’s all Milfoil’s fault!” he oried
-querulously to himself. “But I never
wDlbelieve what people say again."
Wlat a pity it waa that our dapper
little hero’s good resolutions had come
too late.

Mrs. George App to a wealthy widow
residing baok of Maonngie, Lehigh
Oo., Pa. She bad some large real estate
transactions recently, and several days
ago plaoed $10,000, the proceeds of ac
ore mine sale, in on Allentown Bank. A
few days ago, she was called upon by a
well-dressed elderly gentleman who
represented himself as a New York
lawyer who had oome to pay her over
a large snm of money in a furnace sale
mode by her deoeasud husband ten
months before. Bho had business let
ters from the same lawyer before, but
had never met him, He represents
himself as an old friend of Mr. App and
he was invited to remain over night.
He said that he would pay over tbe
money in the morning. During the
night the house was shaken by an ex
plosion, and the man waa heard rnnning
through the house cursing hto bad luok.
No one was in the building exoept Mrs.
App and the female servants, and they
woro too badly soared to investigate nntil
morning, when it was fonnd that the
stranger had blown open the family
safe and taken some valuable papers.
But the money was safe in the Allen
town Bank. The stranger left behind
him a wig showing that he was dis
guised. He fled during the night
The Two Officers.
Apropos of the foreigners now in the
ranks of the El Mahdi, a French paper,
reigtef the following anecdoto of the
Greekyrar of Independence: An officer
wearing the Greek uniform was captured
and led into the presence of the Turkish
General, who was decked in tbe most
picturesque trappings and who stiffened
np and scowled in a threatening manner
at the prisoner’s approach. “My time
has come;” thought the Greek, in his
own mind. “But,” he mused, “isn’t
that face familiar to me ? It seems to me
I saw it before.” With a commanding
gesture, the victorious General waved
his attendants baok, as he ordered
them in Turkish to withdraw for a mo
ment. The order to obeyed. The sod
of the Prophet approaches the Greek,
looks him in the eye and remarks in
j French: “Say, Gebassier, don’t yon
I know you owe me ten francs?" The
Turkish and Greek officers were for
merly two officers in the French army,
! who having been put on half pay aftei
the fall of Napoleon, enlisted on oppo
site sides in the Graco-Turkish war.
One of them borrowed ten francs from
the other on the retreat from Russia,
and they didn’t meet till their renooatre
in tbe Greek campaign.
