was Bob’s. It reflected every rav of

and winning child’s very winning. Yet
it was a nature" that gave its
life to her expression; ’twas a child’s
sweetness that charmed her in voui
look and v
manner.
Before she was well eighteen Bob
had found a lover. Some peonlo ex-
uressecl liegh surprise that Ronald Arm-
had chosen Bob in preference to
her sister Alice. And indeed it had
appeared lor eome time doubtful
to ward which of the two girls his real
attention was directed First of nil
Alice bad seemed to attract him the
more. This was what might have been
expected. Armleigh was a man of the

what Alice’s qualities fitted her
for. And it was by these qualities 1 in
ier that he seemed at first to beat-
tracted.
But after a little came a change.
Exactly what had caused it would be
be impossible to sav. Perhaps Alice
bad repelled him by her cold demean-
or. Perhaps he had grown alarmed
bv the signs of masterfulness in her
character. Or, perhaos, love had got
the better of prudential codsidera-
tions. It was probably one of these
threK It may have been all com-
bined. At any rate, there it was. And
soon it became apparent that it was
Bob, the wiusome child, not Alice, the
capable woman, who held the key of
Ronald Armleigh’s affections.
This circumstance discovered a new
side to the ehler sister’s character,
Till now Alice bad been more than a
« mother to Bob. Her love for the
younger girl had been a touching
thing to see. In furthering Bob's in-
forests, in promoting Bob’s happiness,
in shielding Bob from harm and an-
noyance, Alice had never been known
to consider herself. She had, m
everything, yielded to her sister a pure
and unmixed devotion. But from this
time forward all that was changed.
Alice suddenly began to treat her sis-
ver—so the neighbors said, and so the
poor child herself felt-with positive
cruelty.
Pcrnaps there never yet lived a wo-
man devoid of jealousy. And though
some may manage to conceal it better
than others, vet 'tis seldom indeed
that, upon adequate provocation aris-
ing, they v are snle to conceal it alto-
get Her. No one could ,. deny , that . in
this present case, Alice Baines had
received adequate provocation. To be
admired by a Handsome, fascinating
man—a man who. all things consider-
ed, was a distinctly eligible parti, was,
of course, a flattering thing. To have
that admiration unaccountably with-
drawn, and then openiv transferred
to a younger sister under her verv
nose, was, equally, of course, provok-
ing. And Alice Baines might well
have been excused anv ordinary exhi-
bition bition of of jealousy. jealousy. Tnere Tnere was^ how- how-
ever, no occasion for her to behave
with such exceptional meanness as she
did.
Her meanness was twofold. She
tried the effect of one sort first, and
upon that proving a failure she had
recourse to the other. Her first mean-
ness was a malicious fttlempt, worked
by an insidious process of suggestions
and innuendos, to blacken Armleigh’s
character in her sister’s eves. Arm-
leigh nad not vet actually proposed to
3iUv and Alice wished to bring it

What "people” eav is not always of
mnctl moment. They arc given to
speaking without knowledge and eriti-
0isin 2 wlthout judgment.. But what
“People” said noon this particular
matter did have some groundwork of
reasoned good sense. They asserted
that tb!lr.t ij*MicQ Baines had taken this line
in i^nce, nrto* co„M
have found fault wit-a her. It would
tlaea have resolved itself iato a
contest between the two sisters for
a prize to which neither had greater
claim than the other. But to have
acted as she had done » to bav6 takeu
no pains originally to strengthen her
bold upon Arruleigb, to have let her
childish sister’s affections become deep-
ly engaged with him, and then, when
he was on the point of making that
childish sister happy by a declaration,
to use every effort to draw him back
to herself—at the risk of wrecking
poor Bob’s happiness, and, nerhaps,
breaking her heart—why, this was as
cruel a thing as jealousy, ia its most
extreme form, could devise. Such
conduct toward a friend would nave
been odious; toward a sister it was
shameful, unpardonable. Heaven
grant i' the effect might meet with that
aiIu re which it handsomely merited!
Heaven, however, did not grant it.,
The effort proved successful. Bob’s
white face and miserable expression
betrayed that, long before Armleigh’s
to Alice was announced,
Bob’s little dream of happiness was
over - Alice had dissipated it finally
ond forever ® But ’ twas not mciely
the loss of her lover, though this was
-bief, but also Her sister's conflict in
the matter, which cut Bob to the
heart. Until this unhappy affair, Bob
had experienced nothing save the ten-
derest kindness, the most caressing
care » from Alice. And then-on a
sudden—to be so traated by her, it was
a9 incomprehensiole as it was tin-
a nd cruel.
Only once had Bob ventured on
fi m i d remonstrance. Alice had an-
swered her thus, hardly, and almost
with scorn:
“Why were you not happy and con-
Gerald? Gerald is far more
s «l ted you than. Ronani Armleigh.

Bob had burst into tears at this un-
feeling retort, and, without apology or
any attempt at solace, Alice had left
th8 room. No other word on the sub-
ject passed between them.
The Gerald of whom AUce had
spoken was an old admirer of childish
Bob’s, and, until Armleigh’s appear-
ance, had been that young lady’s first
favorite. He lacked all Armleigh’s
brilliance of manner and
of bearing. As a love maker he was
his hopeless inferior. Many people
called him stupid. That he was not.
If rather slow of speech and silent of
temperament he had plenty of good
sound 6ense, and, withal, possessed
kind, true heart and loyal disposition,
whichfar outweighed his external d is-
qualifications. niveryone could see
that he was devoted to Bob. 3o’ohad
liked, had even been very fond of him.
She might, perhaps, have thought that
she loved him, had not Ronald Arm-
leigh taught her what love really was.

knew love now. She knew also-ho w
many have known it thus?-that with
the loss ot her beloved nad gone from
her the capacity of that first sweet
sentiment; that its sublime inspira-
tions, its deep intensity, its pure de-
light, would never throb in her quick-
ened pulses again.
Bob did not feel bitter against her
sister. She scarcely felt indignant;
she was simply crashed and broken.
All who saw her hollow eyes, her sad
face, face, her her dispirited dispirited bearing, bearing, were were
struck with pity for the poor child,
Alice alone remained obdurate, and,
so far as could be seeu, unfeeling. It
was unlike what Alice had ever been
before, until this miserable affair. But
her obduraev was easiiv explained,
Those of us'who have wronged our
dear ones are the last to betray pitv

very sufferings are our own condemns-
tion. An \ we, therefore, concern cur-
selves to make as light of them as pos-
sible.

This last quarrel took place one
morning at breaklast. Alice had just
said something to her husband which
^ tihcation. wU*. with vage and
Do you mean me to understand,
he demanded, fiercely, “that you mar-
r*ed mo simply to get me away from
that sister of yours, and for no other
reason?, ’
“Simply for that,” answered his
wife, regarding him steadily with her
clear bine eyes. “Ah, I could read your
character better than you thought. I
was acquainted with—with—things
about you-things which it might have
been hard to prove against you, and
which I should have been loath to prove
before that innocent child—things
which would have made your marriage
with her a gross pollution. Yes, swear
and curse; I am not afraid of you. Why
did I not tell my sister this? I did
tell her what I could—all that was fit
for her to hear. But Bob was too
true, too faithful, too confiding to lis-
ten to these tales against the man she
loved. She would have married you.
Nothing would have stopped her, uu-
less an insuperable bar had intervened,
I (thank God !) have formed that in-
superable bar.”
“That, then, is why, after repelling
me first of all with your coldness, you
afterward made such play to get me
‘
back?”
“Exactly. When I saw that one" won
bad entered our home to ruin of
us, I swore to myself that your victim
should not be Bob. It has not been
Bob, and I am satisfied.”
She spoke in a tone of quiet triumph
which nearly maddened him. He
clenched his fist. I believe he would
have struck her, had she not stood be-
f ore ttju £0 fearless, so strong, so
scornful. But her aspect cowed him,
and he contented himself with a strmg
of coarse abuse.
“You know what-happened yester-
flay,” she continued, calmly, never
heeding his vile words. “Bob was
married to a good, true man, who
loves her and will make her happy.
All that I aimed at is now accom-
plished. We have lived together long
enough, Ronald Armleigh. I mean to
leave you to-day—forever!”
“And where, pray, shall you go,
madam?” demanded Armleigh, trying
to force a contemptuous laugh. “And
what, do you think, will become of
you?”
“I do not know; and I do not care. ”
Then, as a beautiful -mile beamed,
for an instant, upon that strong, calm
face, she added:
“Bob is safe; and I—I do not mat-
ter.”—Truth.

There u has u been an enormous call „
for a, u al l f^s, scarfs, boas, and ripple
shoulder collars, which are worn with
tailor gowns, and with handsome vis-
itinq® gowns which fastidious women
are loth to cover with long wraps till
the weather makes it imperative. The
autumn styles fill this need better
than ever before, affording just the
neces ?! these ® ar T small ^ a ^th pieces and comfort, can be worn and
throughout the winter.
P et boa of former seasons, with,
its diamond-eyed head clasping a clus-
ter of tails under the chin, had devel-
oped into a scarf of marvelous beauty,
showing that ingenuity and taste can
always evolve something novel and
charming. A rippling mass of tails
fa i| s over that bust, reaching the
waist, and affords much warmth and
protection over the chest. The tails
are surmounted by two heads, and the
scarf is either broad and straight in
the back, or curved slightly, in collar

scarfs of fine quality is their softness,
there being no padding nor stiff inter-

a fashionable buse.
The season of weddings taxes the
ingenuity, no less than the purses, of
lasbionab i e devotes. The deceptions
to which many of the so-called upper
crust resort to discharge social obliga-
tions are almost incredible to old
fogies not in t fie swim. It has long
been the accepted custom of brides
who receive many duplicate presents
to exchange the same at tho stores
where they were purchased. AVhen
the articles have not been marked cr
defaced in any manner merchants, as
a rule, are very willing to make satis-
factory exchanges.
A volume might be written ou the
revelations that this custom has often
brought about. It has been the un-
guessed cause of more than one social
sensation. Less than a year ago a
fashionable bride of Gotham received
a gorgeously showy gift in repousse
silver from an old school girl friend,
daughter of a multi-millionaire. The
present was displayed in a beautiful
oox bearing the stamp of a famous
house, and attracted unusual attention
Horn the guests. Several months alter
the wedding the bride, in an unlucky
moment, took this apparently gor-
S eo5 t 9 together with others, to
exchange for articles for which she
Eac ^ more immediate need. When the
selections she made were delivered at
residence sue was surprised to find

Basques are extremely short and full
about the nips and back, and some of
them have short skirts aided. The
separate waist is still in the full tide
of its glory, and there is not much
probability that it will be discarded
this winter.
Quite a fancy rages for the “grand-
mother” skirts, which had no gores in
at all, but are as wide at the-
waist as at the foot, and that was awful
wide—six and seven yards at tne very
least Tae bodice is cut sharply
pointed, and the skirt ia gathered
right on it. If you have a tine pair
of hips, this skirt will be quite satis *

look perfectly ridiculous. By con-
trast, it makes the waist appear more
slender.
