The maiden \ of my dreams—the fair, sweet girl of soul! The poetic, tender embodi¬ ment of my heart’s aspiratu ri ! 1 have written three sonnets, two mad¬ rigals and a poem since midnight, all, all addressed to Marjorie. Mar¬ jorie ! What tender visions arise at the name ! Let me record the hap¬ py event ! That r.tter abomination, Tom Grey, came into wiy studio yestei-day nftcr noon m his usual blistering, vulgar way, and with the voice of a huck¬ ster, calling “Watermelons !” shout ed: “Hullo, Dick!” I suppose I have told Tom Grey me thousand times that I have had mv name changed to “Algernon,” by act of legislature, but the brute per¬ sists in calling me “Dick,” because, when we went to school together, my name was ‘Richard.’ The ‘St.ked I cannot drop, as my uncle Bob left me bis fortune on condition that 1 did not drop thb’family name, in what he called my ‘confounded nonsense.’ Uncle Robert had no poetry in his en¬ tire composition. But I wander from my subject. Tom Grey rushed into my studio, shrieking: “Hullo, Dick!’ 1 was deeply absorbed in the shad* ows of nfiv group of “Lilies on the Lake,” and, although my sensitive nerves quivered under that norrible voice, ae if I had received i blow, 1 painted on, without answer. But a staggering blow upon my shoulder, almost paralyzing, mv right arm, compelled me to look up. ‘Come !’ shouted my friend (?). Tom never speaks—he always shouts. ‘C’cme ! I want you to go to the fair with me.’ ‘What fair?' I asked. ‘I never go ’ to fairs !' ‘But you must go to Jthis one ! Tiptop girls! Lots of fun!’ ‘I despise fun! I abominate girls!’ ‘Oh, bosh! Come along! Stop white-trashing those old snowballs in a puddle, and come!’ ‘Will you leave me in peace?’ I cried, desperately. ‘No! I am going to sit right here ur.til you take oli'that velvet monkey jacket, and pet on a presentable coat to go with me. If I were yon, Dick, I would give that coat to an organ grinder.* I only looked my scorn! Th4t coat, made upon the strictest rules of art, w3b one cf mv triumphs o%*er the common-place. I ho'pfcd the day would come when I could wear it ia the streets, with Venetian ruffles of lace at the wrists. But Tom wasn-d to be daunted tv a look, end finding I should have ho Vest imtn I complied with his request, I reluctantly felt my work. **** Under this ridicule, I dared not assume my fall a-stb^re c^fnmp: But 1 forgave ’Pom all pn.st sins when, after walking about in a great ball filled with fancy fair-tables, li¬ sa id, wilt a slait: ‘Why, there is my cousin Marjo rio!’ I followed tbo directions of It is eves- Can 1 calmly write down t. description of that vision?

A robe of pale-blue cash mere, confined at lho shoulders In cameos, fell in long, loose folds t< form a sweeping train that gave maj csty to the perfect form. Lilies wort broidcrcd on tho edge, lilies rested upon the bosum. Bands of gold uj> on the white arms were the only or¬ naments Marjorie wore. * It was disgustingly conventiona’ to be introduced to ‘my cousin, Grey,’ and to bow in society nn, when I was longing to tlirom mVsell at her feel and devote my life to\iei service, Could I but have drtnyn a sword and vowed to be her faithful knight till death, it would have lmen some relief. But, alas! I couKl trtily bow and murmer somelhing ajxiutmy pleasure in meetsng my dear fii'cndV cousin. Tom grinned likjg3an ape But Marjorie's recognized ^it kindred soul.

Tom lyfl sense enough to leave ns, and wo talked of art, of poetry, of music, and of flow¬ ers. Then she showed hie a tiny vase, an antivii) gem that liad boen dona¬ ted to the fair by a famous collector. She told me the agony she had suff¬ ered lest this priceless treasure should fall into unappreciative hands. 8he i iplored me to add it to my store of gems, and I drew a check for the amount with ecstasy. It stands be¬ fore nienow, my inspiration, until I once more gaze into the soulful eyes of Marjorie! Another sonnet presses upon my brain. I write to the sun¬ ny locks of the maiden, Marjorie. mao’s lettsu. Dear Sue:—I t was too bad, alto¬ gether too bad, that you could not be at our fair, last evening. Tom had an idea. You would hardly brieve that or Torn, would yov? Ills idea was to have a ‘high art’ table, cover¬ ed with plaqtfcs, tiles, statuettes atid old-fashioned bric-a-brac. I was tb take charge of it, in an aesthetic drees.
