A FACE IN THE GLASS.
Arlino Had More ArtiCco Than
Go ergo After All.
Why it was that George Edmonds,
i who had been known as the nerviest
man in a football game and the best
boxer at college, could not summon
up courage enough to propose to lit¬
tle Arline Phillips was a mystery.
But it was so. He could not do it.
George had arrived at his twenty
fourth year without falling a victim
to any feminine fascinations, but
now ho was badly in love, and
that little blonde, Arline Phillips,
was the only physician who could
help his particular complaint.
The time was Halloween, and
George was to take Arline to a party
at the house of a friend. lie knew
all of the old Halloween games, and
he decided that to-night, of all
nights, was the time for him to
make the plunge, if he ever were to
do so.
He stood in front of his mirror,
surveyed himself and wondered how
it was that a six-foot man, with the
determined-looking chin that hehad,
could not propose to a little girl who
stood five feet nothing in her high
heeled boots.
“Halloween is the time,” he said,
as he turned from the glass, “and I’ll
settle it to-night forever.”
He got into the cab that had been
waiting for him and ordered the
driver to go to the house of Arline—
his Arline he hoped she would be be¬
fore the night was over.
Miss Phillips received George with
the careless, almost sisterly famil¬
iarity which is as much of a set back
to lovers as a decided coldness would
be. He would have liked it had she
been a little more distant with him.
As it was already late, they went
at once to the house.where the party
was to be, and were received at the
door by Miss Kate Edmonston, their
hostess.
Miss Edmonston, a little girl with
a freckled face and red hair, whom
no one could call pretty, but whom
all called attractive, received them
at the door and told them to hasten,
as the games were already in prog¬
ress.
In the parlor was a large crowd of
young men and women, busily en¬
gaged in the sport of diving for ap¬
ples. In this sport, as every one
knows, a lot of apples, each bearing
the name of a man, are placed in a
tub of water, and the girls try to
catch them in their teeth. The name
on the apple is sure to be the name
of the future husband of the young
woman who dives. There was an
other tub filled with apples in which
there were the names of girls, but
that was for the men, and conse¬
quently of comparatively little in¬
terest.
There was much diving, much
laughter and much disgust when it
was found that carefully curled hair
was, owing to the water, hanging
down, before the eves of the
owners, straight and stiff. ¥ut no
one cairs about hair at a Halilfecn
party, and so the disgust was short¬
lived indeed.
At last it came Arline’s turn to
dive, and, while the laughing crowd
of girls were busy dragging her to
the tub, George Edmonds slipped
into it five apples each bearing his
own name.
He thought that should Arline get
an apple with his name on it, she
would then expect the proposal that
he was mustering up his courage to
make.
Arline leaned over the tub and bit
at an apple, but it floated away from
her, and she tried again but with
no better success than before, bne
was persistent, however, and in
r dud
aoout , five r , minutes, dripping
triumphant, she stood up With the
apple fast between her teeth.
An inspection revealed the fact

name of George Edmonds the name
of Frederick Hopkins. This Hopkins
was a dapper little fellow, who all ;
the tuo xii girls said was “nice,” aud he sat
iu the and smiled , a , huge
corner
smile when he beard the fair Arline
read his name. To make matters
worse, the festive. Frederick had
been a frequent visitor at Miss Phil
lips’ house, and George had often
been jealous of the attention she paid
him.
The evening wore on, and poor
George was in evident a^ony over
the fact that Arline had not chosen i
jji m for a partner in any of the
games, and had, on the contrary, |
taken the dapper Hopkins more than

she would see me face of her future
husband in the glass, but under no
circumstances was she to turn
around, for that would break the
Spell.
Several girls tried it, each ono
solemnly declared that she had seen
a face in the glass, and then came
Arline’s turn.
“1 suppose she'll see that follow
Hopkins,” muttered George, as Ar
line went to get a light for the
candle.
Just at this moment Katie Ed
monston rushed up to George and
said:
“Be quick, run up the back stairs
and look over Arline’s shoulder when
she reaches the top. Hurry up now,
or she'll see you.”
George hesitated but a moment,
and then obeyed. lie reached the
dark top floor and then groped his
way to the head of the front stairs.
There he paused.
“Suppose,” thought he, “that this
should give her a fright, from which
she never could recover. Shall I
do it?”
He had almost decided in the nega¬
tive when ho heard Arline coming
slowly up the stairs. Up one flight
she came and then on up the next.
Very slow work it was and George
could hear his heart thumping wild¬
ly as she came on.
But a few steps remained for her
and then George bent over and al¬
most touched her shoulder with his
chin.
Arline sighed in a pleased sort of
way, and then, without turning,
commenced her downward trip.
He rushed down the back stairs
and when Arline Phillips reached the
lower floor George was leaning
against the wall trying to look un¬
concerned, but only succeeding in
looking as if ho had committed
petit larceny aud been caught in the
act.
Miss Phillips was besieged with
questions. “Whom had she seen?”
“Did ho look natural?” “Just tell
us his first name or even the color of
his hair?”-*but Arline refused, but
said that he. was a very nice young
man.
George and Arline did not ride
home* that night, but as they were
walking along be told the story that
so long had troubled him, and she,
with just the proper amount of dif¬
fidence, said; *
“Yes.”
The wedding took place with the
beginning of the new year, just two
months after All Hallows Eve, and
as George Edmonds, the proudest
roan in New York, walked down the
aisle, he saw Miss Edmonston look¬
ing at him from the corner of her
eye, and as be passed her seat ho
bowed and murmured;
“Thanks.”
Once in the carriage with Arline,
George grew grave.
“Arline,” he said, “I have a ques¬
tion to ask and a secret to tell you.
Didn’t Halloween night influence
you a little in accepting me?”
After a moment el. **nswered wMA
reluctance; “Yc^M*
“Weil, Arline,” he said, “I stood
at the head of the stairs and looked
over your shoulder that night. Now,
don’t get angry,” he continued as
she raised the handkerchief to her
face.
She remained silent while onecould
count ten and then said with a little
laugh:
I i Why should I be angry, wbeu it
was I who told Katie Edmonston to
send you up the back stairs.”—Eveu
