I 1 wo women sar together ai j smise! in ilte porch door of a white cottage that stood under its "ancestral tree" and among its fields of wheat and corn, like a poet s vision of a quiet resting place tor some wearv. suffering human soul. And one of these two women had eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to feel and appreciate it all. She was a tall and stately lady, apparently some thirty years of age—not exactly hand some, hut with a grace of air and manner peculiarly her own. The careful toilet, the nameless air of elegance and luxury, the pale cheek, the soft white hands, be trayed the city dame. While the weary glance in her large, dark blue eyes, which even the quiet of that sunset hour could not drive away, showed that time had not dealt gently with her and her I heart’s idol, but had thrown them, scattered and ruined, at j her feet. Her companion was some live j years her junior, and many times pretlier~-a little round-faced, ap ple cheeked woman, with dark blue eyes and dark brown hair, and a rounded figure that was set off to the.best advantage by the afternoon dress of tinted muslin that she wore. At present the pretty face was almost spoiled by a querulous, discontented expression. She was contrasting her own hand,! plump and small, hut certainly rather brown, with the slender I white fingers of her city friend all glittering with rings. “Jusl ; look at the two!” she exclaimed. "That comes of making butter j and cheese, and sweeping, and dusting, and washing dishes, and 1 making beds all the time. That man told the truth that said that i woman’s work was never done. I know mine ip-vcr is. Mli, dear j dear! To think that you, Mar garet, should have married a city I merchant, and he as rich as a princess in a fairy tale; and here lam planted for life, jdain Mrs. Iliram i’arke, and nothing in the world to compare with you. I am sick of being only a farmer's wife. M argil ret Yon llowth looked down id her grumbling little friend with a sad smile. "Jenny, il seems to me, its we sit here in ihis quiet place and ! look out over all these pleasanl : fields that are your own —it seems 1 to me that, you are almost wicked , to talk like that.’" ‘•I dare say. you would never like il, Margaret. You would never wish to change places with me.’ "Rerhaps not. Would you not like to change with me?’ •*Yes." ••And lit; Mrs. Yon llowth, iu stead of Mrs. iliram I’arke ?” Jennie hesitated. She dearly loved her handsome husband. "Well. 1 don’t mean that 1 want to give up iliram. 1 only mean that I wish lie was a city merchant, instead of a farmer, and as rich as your hiishand is ; that, is all." "And that is a great deal. Jenny, if your wish could lie granted, do you know what your life would he?” -aid Mrs. Aon llowth, eoldl.v. ••What your- i I -uppose. What ans lady -i- in your posi I ion." ••Rut what i that life. Do you know ?" “How liould I ••Il is a weary one. Jenny, with more genuine hard work in it than all your making of hotter and cheese." "Oil Margaret!" ••And, oh, Jenny ! believe me. my dear, there are no people on earth who work harder Ilian the fashionables who only have their own amusements to provide for. A long life of mere amusement i a dog's life. Jenny, at the In-st. ■T should like to be Convinced & * 8 11 ill I 'lrli liM hit tB3Wm ' JM-i- • ' it. is ai^^HHIHBKKHsiHHKaN I: Mm-* l * s vjHpi ’SSsSsEKajj Vie Y'f > £'jgjsse ! ion able world j rise and dress, at. shop, and i lunch, and dress again and drive | and dress again and appear at { certain halls, parties, concerts, ! exactly as your friends do, or he | voted bizarre, and out of the ! world altogether. You. my poor Jenny, who are by no means fond |of dress, what would you do at a 1 fashionable watering place in the hottest days of August, with five I changes of .toilet between morn ing and night, and a French lady’s maid to tyrannize over you .7*l the time into the bargain ?” "Horrors!” ejaculated Jenny. "Balls that you must go to in spite of fatigue, parties that you must go to in spite of the heat, l calls that you must mukeonpeo pie that you detest! Oil, Jenny I should far rather he ai home with the butter and cheese, if I were you.” Jenny was silent. Here was the side of the bright picture which she had never seen or dreamed of before. "You love your husband. Jen nv ?” said her friend alter a time. Jenny opened her eyes wide. "Lovehim! Why, isn’t lie my husband V was her reply. Mi *s. N on llowth laughed. "Some women in society might think that a reason vvhv you shouldn’t love him!’ she said, dryly. “And he loves you. also?’ "I should die tomorrow, if 1 thought he did not.” "Tut, child. I’eoplc leave llii world when God wills it, not he fore. I third say you would stir vive his infidelity. Many women before you have lived through such t(lings.’’ "Don't talk of ii Margaret, t could not hear it. Why. he is till i the world te me. How could ij bear to lose it ?” "Then don't wish him to he a city merchant, my dear. I dare sav there are many good men in the city—but, on the other hand, there are so many tempta tions, especially in society, that 1 sometimes wonder not that so many go astray, hut that so many remain true to themselves and their duty.” She spoke absently, and her eyes had a far-away glance, as if they dwell on other tilings. Jenny ventured a question. "Margaret, is yours a happy marriage? Do you love your husband? And does lie love you ?' Mrs. Yon llowth started and turned pale. "Jenny,l would have loved him—l would have been a good wife to him—-but he never loved i me. He brought me to place at the head ef the house because he -thought me ladylike and ini >”es! iug; that was all. Ho.told me so i once though not quite so plainly as this. And since then we have j each taken our own way. iud<“ 1 pendent of the other. 1 seldom see him at our house in town. I liaYe my carriage, m v diamonds my opera box. In the season I go to Saratoga, or Newport, while he favors Long Branch with his presence. We are perfect si ran gei's to each other; wc never quarrel; and 1 -appose if I were to dit; tomorrow he'd he an in consolahle widower -for a week. Jenny, you will not wish to change places with me again. Your lm barid might change as mine ha.-done, exposed to ihe same tempt at ion. I haft k heaven you have him a- lie is a good, true man. who loves you and nevei mind the bnttei and choc-c Jenny, ~i, long as your happiness and hi- is made up with them.’ She rose from her seal and -trolled up the garden path. Jenny did not follow. She ,;t! on the step lo tin thought, ihe ’< ■■ ’Hi, •/?■:;.'.■ ‘ V N'T i eyos^^PßßHPßsiil\v hand as lie came from the Hold. "Well, little and then she got the lor which she was loojnng. Yes Margaret was right. The j butter and cheeses were of little consequence, while love like this made her task easy to endure.

"Don’t, j I know that, without your telling | me ?” “But 1 u islii could help you,” cried out Mabel. “Oh, I w ish I knew of tiny way to earn money myself.” Gerald May looked at her with ■in amused smile. •My dear,’said he, nine .would as soon expect an oversized doll to earn money.’ ■Other women do,’said Mabel, critically surveying the slice of bread to make sure that it was artistically browned on both sides. •Rut you are sueli a child.’ ‘I am Iwo and I wonty,’ said Mabel solemnly. ‘Nonsense !’ said Gerald. ‘Wliat could you do to earn money V Mabel colored a little at the deprecatory tone of the words. ‘Gerald,’said she, ‘I do wish you would treat me more like a woman and hiss like a child.
