wild, romping child whose great est care pas to please her parents and whose greatest grief the loss of some woodland pet?” 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 don sat long in the moonlight and mik ed together. Charles always thought ilKmust leave at 9, but he is In no haste Ten, half past 10, 11 goes by, ■Pi there they stand iu the moonlight hen they part, a tender kiss burns oh Daisy’s cheeks and u slender gold ring gleams on her finger. She and Charles 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 the maided In the farmhouse, but the scene grows dim. the figures Vide and another picture unfolds be fore my view. It was a bridal scene.

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. made a movement to snatch It from jmjK gad the spell was broken. oPft hat la Ur P*i_r i Xoa aatefipjwp -snd dreaming?” I started and to find myself soared in the great velvet chair .;Suti my husband standing beside ffio. nid i fail asleep? 1 must.

Till* Uffcjirnilon, 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 Well on r large tablo. especially where' space Is a consideration—l. e.,' where the table is otherwise well laden with dessert or with silver bowls of bon bons. 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. Turkey With Snusaae*. A turkey gain I shad vritb at. a very festive not to say bacons’■ i* 1 appearance.
