TALE OF A TIARA. “My dearost Hermione” looked up from her morning coriespondenc<* Her air was one of profound abstraction, and she commenced to sugar my ooffee with quite nncalled for generosity. “It is altogether too bad, ” she ex claimed, as I rescued the cup with the fifth lump suspended above it. She took no notice even when the sugar Hopped into tho marmalade, and her forehead was puckered into a frown. "Vi hat is it?” I said, sitting down and settling my paper afresh. “Oh, here is a letter from May Vere. She has just had a present from her fa ther-iu-law, a diamond tiara, and she says"—this rather doubtfully—“that it is quite the best of the whole lot. She will wear it first at tho duchess’ recep tion. That makes the sixth tiara in tho family, doesn’t it?” (Mrs. Mark Vere is my wife’s cousin). “I suppose so—if you sny so. ” I was frankly more interested for the moment in the money market column than in May Vere’s latest present. There followed a longish pause. Her mione rattled the teaspoons end made much of the oat. Then her voice came to me across the table decorations with just a touch of fretfuiness; “Jack I” "trial" "I should look eo nice in a tiara. Jack." 1 tossed the paper on to an armchair. Although we have been married three years that particular inflection in my wife's tones never fails to aronsa my curiosity, and —well, something else. “If X were only rich enough"— I be gan recklessly. Yousee, Xknew I wasn’t. "Oh, Jack, I didn’t mean that. I am not so mean as to reproach yon. We have really everything that is necessary. A tiara can bo done without. 1 couldn't bear to have anything but a very expen sive one, and May won’t look anything but plain in hers, however beautiful it is. But still—well, what I meant was that it seems almost a misfortune that I should look eo nice in one—as having one is ont of the question. ” “1 don’t see that, ” I said. "X would rather have you as you arc." “May is generally acknowledged as plainI’— 1 ’ — “X wasn’t comparing you with ber. It would be absurd,' ’ "Would it?” smiled Hermione. And 1 am not yet proof against Hormione’s smiles. Bo in sjrt I suggested some thing to her which had occurred to me— jusc as a joke, and nothing more. That she would act cu it X never dreamed of for a moment. Yet Hermiono still de clares all that followed was entirely my fault, and that but for me sho would not have to suffer the prolonged igno miny of being the only girl out of seven married cousins unable to boast a dia mond tiara among her possessions. We bad several engagements the week of the duchess' reception, but that was the hist and was very generally considered the most important. I also happened to bo very busy just then. X rather expected a bad quarter of an hour when X told Hermione how abso lutely impossible it would bo for me to do more than just look in at quite a late hour, but, as is often th® case where sho is concerned, my anticipations were not fulfilled. She smiled at me very sweetly, said she could find plenty of pooplo to go with and that I need not worry on her account, and I fancied I detected signs of relief in her expression, which may have been the reason why I made my way to the reception rather earlier than I originally intended. The duchess who wrs giviDg it had scattered her invitations broadcast, as is within, the rights of a duchess. The spacious rooms were extremely crowd ed. It was some time before I caught sight of my wife, but not long before I heard of her, for Mrs. Jack Voyce— Voyce is my name—appeared to be cre ating quite an unusual sensation even for her. “And have you seen pretty Mrs. Voyce?" “And have you heard her tale of the tiara?” “What fun sho is, isn’t she?” seemed the principal topio of con versation. More than ono man patted me on the back and congratulated me anew. I felt myself, generally speaking, quite as lucky as they thought me, for I admire her, too, but I could not help wonder ing how they would have liked partici pating in my present anxiety on her be half. ‘‘Hermiono just doesn’t mind what she does, ” a candid girl friend bad said to mo before our marriage, and once or twice X bave been forced to agree with her, for if my suspicions were correct and this tale apparently so widespread were to reach the ears of my moßt un necessarily particular uncle, Liord Cur ran, who I kDew to be present, having seen him, wha’t would be the unfortu nate result I failed to imagine. Lord Curran is best described as one of the old school. His ideas about wo men Hermione calls “peculiar to say the least of it. ” They certainly are not' of the present day, but date back to the times when women occupied themselves with barbarous triumphs in woodwork and doing as they were told, and es pecially lu avoiding anything approach ing to notoriety. .lust as 1 wont over this afresh in my mind my venerable uncle approached me with that peculiar ly beaming smile of his which always foretells disaster. “Pretty woman, your wife, Master John,” said he. “A little lacking in reticence, eh—oh?” "And just then Her mione came along, and I had to run the risk of distorting my features for life in my efforts to signal to her not to join us. Fortunately inv uncle’s sight is net as good as it used to ha But though I did my best at smoothing things over—my wife even going to the unusual length of doing as I desired and keeping out of the way—it was very evident that our stiff backed old Tory relative was seriously annoyed and that he meant to take bis own time about coming round, for my suspicions were correct, and that wife of mine had been mad enough to include Lord Curran among tho many to whom she hud told her tale “What in the world wero yon frown ing about like that?” was her greeting to me. “Really, if you are going to practice for a contortionist, don’t you think you might choose a moro suitable timo and place?” Then eho laughed at the men about her. “Here, ” said she, “is a poor fel low who has not heard my tale of the tiara. Shall I tell him?” “I don’t want to hear —I can guess”— “Come, Voyoe, don’t be sulky,” eaid my brother-in-law. "Ithas been an im mense success—the success of what would otherwise have been a very dull evening. Upon my word it was a bright idea. ” “It was Jack's idea”— “This is past a joke”— “Oh, of course,” interrupted Her mione, “wo shouldn’t have expected you to have tho nerve to carry it out Ob, Jack, don’t go—l want to you”— Bat I thought of what 1 had to toll her—by Lord Curran's orders—and I went. In tho midst of my justifiable ag gravation I could not help being sorry for her probable disappointment—my pretty Hermione; could not help ad miring her afresh for her happy reck lessness or prevent myself envying for that one occasion the fellows who had enjoyed her tale unrestrained by personal considerations. When we were alone at homo again, those feelings wero still mine. Hermi one faced me. The electric light lit np her gleaming neck and arms. Her dress was white. Her fluffy golden hair was surmounted by an exceedingly beautiful diamond tiara. “Tho horrid old man, ” sno kept re peating. “ Why did-you tell him?” “Teddio bet me a turquoise dagger that I wouldn’t, so of course I had to. I didn’t think he would really mind. No one else did. And, besides, every one was talking about it. Ho would have found out. ” She paused and thou con tinued: “You said, 'Why don’t you hire one for tho weok?’ ” “I never meant it.’’ “Youeaid it, though, and put it into my mind. ” “So it is my fault that Lord Curran considers you so foil of resource as to have no need of tho tiara ho had order ed for you and will now save for tho next bride?” “Of course I shall always say so. Oh, she does. But”—hero she came close tome- —“I—St has reminded mo of something. Do you remember when we were first engaged promising to buy me one as soon as ever you could afford it? I would rather have ono from you than, oh, a dozen from your crabby old un cle; and even wait for it, so you need not make any more fuss, need you?" What happened then any one may guess. “In your heart oi hearts, Jack, dar ling,” finished Hermione. “you are not sorry any moro?” But that is almost too much to say. My wife’s tiara is stiil to he bought, and they are not cheap things by any i means.—Madame. \\ RMffiPILIS * Cure all forms of disease caused by a Sluggish Liver and Biliousness.

I Jive near tho sen :u a house built CO years ago by an English privateer and railed Hauteviile House. I, a represent ative of tho people and an exiled sol dier of tho French republic, pay droit do poulage every year to tho queen of England, sovereign lady of tho Channel islands, ns Duchess of Normandy and my feudal suzerain. This is one of the curious results of exile. I live a retired life hero with my wife, my daughter and my two sons, Charles and Francois. A few exiles have joined me, and wo make a family party. Every Tuesday. I givo a dinner to ! 6 little childreu, chosen from among the most poverty stricken of the island, and my family and I wait on them. I try by this means to give this feudal country an idea of equality und frater nity. Every now and.then a friend crosses the sea and pays mo a visit. These are our gala days. I have some dogs, some birds, some flowers. I hope next year to have a small carriage and a horse. My pecuniary circumstances, which had been brought to a very low ebb by tho coup d’etat, have been somo whut improved by my book “Les Miser ables. ’’ I get up eariy, Igo to bed early, I work all day, I walk by the sea, I have a sort of natural armchair in a rock for writing at a beautiiul spot callod Firmain bay, I dm not smoke, I eat roast beef like an Englishman and I drink beer liko a German, which does not prevent tho Espanu, a clerical news paper of Madrid, from asserting that Victor Hugo does not exist and that the real author of “Les Misevables” is called satan. —Letters of Victor Hugo.
