New Yoke, Dim. -...—Almost any woman can manago to look attractive and well dressed in the street, bat it is not overy one who can or does take the pains to look well at homo. Itisnno thing to liavo mi outdoor dress with all its conoomitants arid to put tho wholo ontfiton at once and take it off again on onlcring the house, and another to keep up a supply of neat nnd dainty homo frocks. Tho first is comparatively easy and too often done. Tho second re quires aovoral attributes in tho woman. Hlie must bo neat by nature, refined and artlstio through teaching and instinct, end she must respect horsclf and her homo life. Given all thoao things, tho woman will alwaysboawoet and dninty nnd n pleasant picture to look on, eveii though Bbo is old or her gowns are of calico, nnd fow at that All this sago reflection wa* invited tiy a pretty sight that accidontallycaino nnder my oyes today. 1 saw a young mother sitting by the sido of bar littlo daughter. Her husband is a physician, and her income is not overabundant, but how fow women with plenty of money would liavo looked as dainty and sweet as siio did, takon unawares! Sho iind a neat striped ehoviot dross fleckod with whito over tho drab and brown stripes. Tho skirt was plainly flnlshod nnd shirred at tho slim waist Tho waist ltsolf wa* tho new bias blonso, bolted in nnd with n hand of embroidery around tho nock nnd down tho front. It was slightly opou in tho nock, mid there A DAINTY HOME ATTI11S. was a wide oollar of Venetian point Tho materials wore so plain and tho mako was so simple, nnd yet there was tho suhtlo charm of individuality abont it mid tho neatness that made it per fect Now, why cannot all womou dress as candidly as that? Her littlo girl had a silvor gray sorgo, made with a yoko and braided with black Boutnohd. Tho skirt was plainly hemmed, but tho littlo frook was as at tractive in its simplicity .as tho awoet littlo woarer. With all tho riohosfc frocks in tho country no child' can bo well dressod without tho stamp of nontness. When neatness nnd proper stylo aro ob served in making olotlios, tho result is tho best dressing. I know 0110 Indy who is so careless that slio will put ouo dross on over an other when sho goes out Hho does not do it on purpose, hut alto forgoU. Hho 1b not a well dressed woman, though I know her garments cost much. It is not tho cost or quality, but tho oaro and stylo that mako the woman a pleasure to strangers and n treasure at home. Now, I know an ultra foeidonabln lady whoso olothea come from afar. Hlio has tho (loepost of maroon oloth In hor now gown, nnd she has the sweetest ct bonnets, nnd nt this day of grace sbo hat a most elegant moire conk It is long, of superb quality, mid it it border ed with fur and lined with brocade.

The dootor’s wife stays home, studies the fashion papers, makes her olothee mid sings at her work. Tho othor buys n silken gown nnd a dolman opera olonk ami sits wearily in hor box, to lie stared nt, anil goes lioiuo dissatisfied with Wlmt she has. My object in naylug all this is not very dear even to myself, but I dimly feel that 1 am tryiug to make it plain tint fashionable housing it not all of it. There is soiuethiug beyond and above n mere following after a leader, and a woman may bo well, becomingly and tastofnlly dressed with a small outlay it sho will but pay attention to hor gar ments and have hor home attire hor prettiest and neatest.

His age at the very outfldo cannot bo more than nix or eight und thirty.” “And I om only 18, and beside*”-— “Betides whnt?” •‘Oh, nothing!” “Do you mean there 1b some one yon like better? I am too fond of you, darling, to try to force a husband upon you, but I must say that Joroea Harwood has al ways shown himself to ties very model gentleman and well endowed with esti mable qualities that too many of tho young men of tho present day unfortu nately look." “Yes.” “And his flnanolal position Is of Indis putable firmness. Ho has not only the will but the means to provide the com forts nnd oven tho luxuries of a homo for Ills wife.” “Oh, yew, mother!” “Well, child, if your heart docs not draw you to him, 1 will not pn«s you, but 1 think ho is n man any woman might feel proud of, and in my marrying days I”— “Why do you talk of your marrying days ns though they wero over, mother? Do you never think of marrying again?” ‘My dnrllug, you forgot my ago.” ‘Why, dear mother, you talk ns If you worn a Methuselah. You aro not so very old.” “I shall be 41 in a fow months, Elslo.” Tho girl laughed brightly. “And you look hardly 81. You”— Whatever else sho may have boon con templating saying was out off by tho an nouncement of “Mr. James Harwood,” a gentleman who was a short timo following his natno and greeted the two ladles rath er nervously as ho entered. Ho was a tall, well shaped man, with a good natOml face, but whoso hair was getting a littlo, scanty on tho top, Indicating that he had passed tho meridian of youth. Ho sat down and for a littlo while tried to maintain his shero in a general conver sation, but ho seemed uncomfortable nnd talked In a somewhat preoccupied manner, ns though something were weighing on his mind. At last Mrs. Singleton, thinking It pol itic to Jeavo tho two together, inodo some excuse to go out and rose from her seat. Sbo had reached tho door whon James Harwood, with an evident effort, loaned forward In his chair nnd suld quickly, “Please don’t go, Mm. Blngleton.” She stopped on tho point of leaving the room und camo back. She designed that he de sired her consent first and thoroughly ap proved of tho straightforward course. Looking at Ulsio, she said gently: "X wish, darling, you would answoi those cards for mo that aro in tho draw ing room. 1 fool a little knocked up after my drive.” Without requiring a second bidding tho girl doparied lightly on hor errand, leav ing her mother nlono with their visitor. Mrs. Blngbton was sitting on a low sofa, and James Harwood left his chair and went to sit beside her, his norvousness be coming more marked as -ho did so. Ho looked straight In front of him ns ho said: “Mrs. Blngleton, I wlshod—rnthor—to speak to you upon a subject. I trust you will bear with mo a moment whllo I”— Tho Indy notlood his agitation and was sorry for him. Sho tried to help him out. “I think I know to what you are allud*. lug. * I have been expecting this, James— you will let me call you * James?'—for sumo time. Please go on.” “It Is kind of you to say that. It makee what I have to sny much cosier.” Ho clasped one of his kneos with both hands and for tho first time looked straight Into his companion's face. “I have recently had thoughts, my donr Mrs. Blngleton— though I feel much diffidence in telling you—I liavo lately been contemplating marriage.” “That Is exactly what I expected you to say, and I think, at your ago and In your position It Is a vory proper courso to take.” “Then may I take it? May I be bo bold ar to nssumo—that you aro not averse—in fact, that you consent?" “That is what 1 Intended to convey. X said Just now that I had been a little pre pared for this, nnd I am vory glad that you have given mo tho opportunity of say ing—as I truly think—that no woman oould wish to find a better husband.” Hho looked into his face with a quloftunlle as she concluded. For a moment Harwood shuffled nerv* ouHly on his seat; then, moving closer to hor, he took her hand. Mrs. Hlngletou looked surprlsod, but she let It remain. “Then, as everything Is so satisfactorily settled,’* be said awkwardly, “would you mind If I—that le—It seems perhaps a lit tle strange at first—but nmy I klas you?” Mrs. Singleton was more than ever tak en aback at this unexpected request, and a flush came over her face. Then she thought that as a prospective son-in-law his request was perhaps not altogether unreasonable, and she turned her fooe to his, smiling rather consciously as she re plied: “Oh, well, I suppose you may, as I am to bo your mother.” “My mother 1“ “Yes; X shall be your mother, shan’t I, If you marry Elsie?” “Marry KLlcl * But 1 want to marry youl” Mrs. Blngleton jumped away from Mm to the other end of the sofa, and her face (lushed scarlet as his meaning burst upon her. There was sllcnoe between them for a few minutes. Mrs. Singleton's eyes wore bent upon the ground, and she looked al- luqpt like a young girl who had listened to her first declaration of love as the blush on hor check grow deeper and deeper and then luoTed downward till It oovered the whlteuocs of her neck. At laat the spoke: “And you have been meaning me all thta time?" »Harwood, now that he mm the prise he thought he had won in dange/ of slipping from him, oaiuo out of his shell and sur prised himself by the fervor of his own words. “Yes, it la you that I love, you that I have hoped—and then hardly dared to hope—might love me a little In return and give me yourself as an earnest to fill up the emptiness in ray life and In my heart. Oh, do not take the content away that I thought I had hardly won I” For a moment after he had ceaard speaking she did not move. Than she turned her (ace up to his, with her eyes shining, brimful with a joy that she could not hide. “James!” “ Yee.” “You may still klas ma"—Million.
