whose greatest grief the loss of some

Even while I sat gazing the seehe
slowly faded, and out front the dint
mists that had Infolded the figure neat
est the child rose fair and clear the
second picture before me.
1 the rustic porch
JK-Rted with honeysuckles that climbed
over the farmhouse door. Jt was Daisy,
but a child no' longer. She Wore a neat
but simple dress of pale pink muslin,
and a single white rose plucked from
the bush beside the doorstep adorned
her hair. Suddenly a firm step came up
the WBlk leading .to the farmhouse. It
was a young and frank faced man who
Joined her, and Daisy blushgd, and they
went In and sat down together in the
moonlight by the west room window.
Wotjueuce was not necessary to love In
those days, and Daisy and Charles Gor

Daisy’s cheeks and u slender gold ring

are betrothed, and she goes to her
chamber to sleep the first dream of a
happy plighted love.
For a moment I stretch out my hands

but the scene grows dim. the figures

“WHAT IS IT, DAISY?”
bad added luster to Daisy's fuller fig
flSe. Both were trusting and beloved
and saw none but clouds of gold In the
long vista of their future.
I could only sit and gaze longiugly
and eagerly while tle phantom faded
away from my gaze. Another picture
now roso before me.
I saw myself clad In a cheerful morn
ing robe. Charles had prospered in
business, gold poured into his coffers,
and with gold came Fashion, with Am
bition and Pride and a score of demons
in her train. It whispered:
“You are young and you are beauti
ful. In the great world you would bo
an acknowledged queen. Put your
husband’s wealth to use. Let not your
beauty fade out in the nursery. Your
-child will get on well enough in the
I torse's care. Live In the world and
shine like a queen.”
And this was the beginning of the
shadow which darkened the picture. I
saw the glitter of the ball, the splendid
furniture, the silver plate, the gay
equipage and the stately apartments,
and amid It all through the opened
door of a neglected nursery I saw a
pale, drugged 4-year-old child slowly
dying. The end came. The tiny rose
wood casket was (dosed over the fea
tures of the child who died of motherly
neglect. I saw a slroiigvniari bond in
oonvulsed grief oTer his dead boy and
tbcsi go out silently and. growing
graver day by day, turn to his. business
again. I heard frantic bursts of grief
tvyn ths stricken mother's mouth and
clasped my jeweled hands In anguish.
A long pause fell between, and then
another, the last, picture fell before me.
I recognized Its faithfulness at once.
Ten years Intervened between this pic
ture and the preceding one. I bad not
•banged save to fuller and perfected
beanty. Everything was as plain as
day the magnificent furnishings of
the home, with Persian carpets, costly
tables, bronze and marble statues and
ghlna and silver wares, and through
ttiese walls I moved, a cold and beauti
ful woman of Ice. j
I shrank from
dismay. But and gazed lu
tp the picture glided a pale, careworn
tnan wearing the same expression I
bad often seen upon my husband’s
faca. How changed ho looked from the
hopeful, manly Charles Gordon who
had stood before me in the moonlight!
He bad been a grave and silent man
ever since his boy died, but there was
now some fresh trouble eating away
bis life.
. “What has brought this about?” I
ashed.
In a oament my question was an
swered. Into the magic picture came a
shadowy finger which pointed to the
paper strewn table at which my hus
band sat. I gazed and beheld a rear la
tion, and mechanically my eye ranmver
every paper he opened. The catalogue
was fearful—a long array of bills—
plate, furniture, statues, Jewels, silks,
a long array of which I recognized dis
tinctly my own agency, and balancing
this catalogue stood a tangled trade,
engsty coffers, with the word “Panic!’
Written aa with a pen of fire. While
he sat and unfolded each paper and
laid It aside I stole nearer aud gazed
upon the one he had Just taken. It was
fj latest bill, the bill for my ball dress.

For dinner table decorations as fur
as coloring is concerned it Is best to.j
keep to tlie warmed tints. Avoid the]
use of white by Qnoß and keep
shades of cchu.ROn, ujd gfeld or
bronze tones, the latter especiallC
where there Is n large display of old
silver. The vases may be filled with
well berried holly points and mistletoe,
with Christmas fuses as a sort of un
dergrowtli to the various stands. Frost
ed branches and sprays are always
fashionable at this season and have n
very chnrming effect. Their beauty
may be much enhanced by a Judicious
use of bright ribbon bows, bumps aud
candles must all have their shades to
match the principal coloring used in
the decoration. Tall tubes look very

Roast Turkey, Turkish Style.
Clean and truss the turkey. Wash
and parboil one cup of rice in Itolling
salted water. When about half cook
ed, drain and mis with It one dozen
French chestnuts peeled and cut Into
small pieces, one-fourth of a pound of
well washed entrants and two ounces
of almonds blanched and chopped,
Season with a fourth of a teaspoonful
each of salt, pepper and ground cinna
mon. Melt half a enp of butter over
tlie fire and stir the mixture iu It until
well mixed with the butter. Stuff the
turkey with this, sow up the openings
and hake on a rack, busting every ten
minutes with'butter or drippings melt
ed in a little hot water. Turn the fowl
often and dredge with flour after each
hasting. Serve with rich, clear
gravy.

that every part shall be as brown ns
