KITTI'H IIUMB.tXD,
"I never saw such h lucky girl in
my life as you,' Kitty Price." said
Mrs. Hughec Mortimer. "Only to
think, you Lave been in New York
only a month, and Mr. Carisford Lns
asked you to many him!"
It was a radiant February noon,
the sky bine as powdered &ipphifc
the keen wind fresh,from the Lay'
and upper Broadway musical with
the chime of sleigh-bells; for one of
these snow-storms that come, like
angels' visits, few and far between,
had just folded its soft wbi e wings
over the city, and people were enjoy-
ing it accordingly.
Mi*. Hughes Mortimer ire I in
a ststaly brownstoue house ona
fashionable sqnare just out of the
main artery of the city, and Kitty
Price, her sister's child from the
country, who had been invited to
New York in the hope that her
pretty face and baby-blue eyes would
attract some suitable match, sat in
tlie deep bay window, half hidden by j
maroon-velvet curtains, and draper
ies of embroidered lace.
Kitty was very pretty, after a soft
f-iniiiine pattern. Her flaxen hair
liutl a natural curl and twiat to its
gold-.bright tendrils, and her coins
plexion, fresh aw a daisy, had not yet
been injured by late hours, uiiduight
supper*, and "the German;" blue
eves, a tender, sensitive mouth, and a
figure slight and graceful as a rivers
reed, then our Kit;y's claims to bell
hood. There were inanv in ccicty the
winter more brilliant and beautiful
than was she, but in suite ot all this,
, i .■> , t'
Mr. Carisford, the rich banker, had
fallen in love with Kity Price.
Mrs. Hughes Mortimer was de
lighted with this social success,
'•Kitty, you're * da; ling,'' said she.
"I haven't been so delighted since
Mr. Hughes Mortimer gave uw my
solitiare diamonds. How angry
Angel ins Elford will be—and those
Brookes girls who have been angl'iig
for C'iribford so transparently all the
season. I fdiouM'nt wonder, dear,
if you had a quantity of wedding
presents. There are soiu« very line
heirloom jewels in the Carisford fam
ily, I'm told, and—"
"Stop, stop, Aunt Oliva!" Kitty
collored deeply, and twisted the stem
of mignoimette that she held, nierci
lewsly about in her lingers, "1 told
you that Mr, Carutorl h|ul asked nte
to irairy iiiiu—"
"But I didn't tell you that I re
fused htm," added the culprit.
"B&nsed him!" Kathcrine Trice!
Are you joking':"
"Nev.-r was more serious in my
life, Aunt Oliva," protested Kitty,
standing bravely to her colors
"Refuctd Mi. Carisford! itefusel
the Lest match in town!" cried out
Mrs. Hughi-s Mortiiut r.
iiu wouldn't have m ; accept hill.
if I didn't love him':"
"Love 1" scornfully repeated Mi 8.
Hughes Mortimer. "My dear, jour
mamuia has brought yi>n up with
most visijnai-y view* ol life. 'Love'
is an extremely improper cx/rutwion.
And, believe ma you-will suon learn
to esteem any worthy gentleman
who—"
"That's past hoping for, Aunty,
saucily interrupted Kitty. "Ifyou'it
oijjy consent to hear tny story out
you'd save yourself a deal of trouble.
Tty> re.json I refused Mr. Carisford is
llmt I have accepted his nephew.

Great was the astonishment of the
millionaire when U re*
ceived Kitty simp!n note, d--
dining tne honor lie had g.aciouslv
concluded to extend to tier, and
greater s.ill ih.e consternation of
Kitty's parents on learning that the. *
daughter had refused a match so de
sir.i!i!e in every respect.
''T.ie girl must kv, craay!" slid
Jiapa, Price; who had seven younger
daughters to dispose of.
"Mad! Infcituuted!" echoed Mamin 1
Price, who had always ha I to trim
har fiuauciul sails vory closely and
loosed upou a rich hu»b.iud for bur
girl as otie of the-greatest desiderata
of life. ''But we must write to lie .
She shall not come home here, to nut
the snnie sort of uouscuso in her siss

[ "So wliilo Aunt Oliva was writing
to her sister that A'itty must go

"Never!" said A'itty, resolutely.
"Then you will have to shift for

Mrs, Hughes Mortimer, in
to aeverity.
It is but justice to the l*t:er lady .
to admit th*t KLK did not moan all
that her words implied.
Kitty, however, took it all iu earn*

A rntiaway couple, "true lovers"

HOW SIB AXCBITORS LITE*.
We hear olten of the good times of
'Queen Bess,' when England began
t>be % great nalion. But even ro
mantic people would hardly be will
ing to go back fo the rude customs of
that age, and live as EuglNhuicn then
•1 «
lived;
The uieats were brought iuon i's
just as they were cooked, and ill Ilia 1
way passdil round by Ihe servant* toj
the guests, who, in the more barbar- 1
ous times, tore oil a portion a* besi
1 hey could. AlterViard, wjien tliey
had advanced n Utile 111 their idcaK.
1 here was a carver, who held the
meat with oue hand wiiiie he cut willi
the other; and the guests helped
themselves, usiug their hand, aud al
ter tliey had devoured what they
wished, threw ihe bones to the
and cats that waited under and scram
bled toi their sharo among the rt sh
e^.
Naturally ciious;h, every one was
expected to waali Ids hands before
coming to the "board," and vcr ainly
11 was needful afterward.
A lew had knives shaped like a
razor, but forks went unknown. Ev
en tiie great Elizabeth ate will) lifer
linger*. In her reign, however, com
merce wan extended, and luxuries
be gan to appear,—porcelain, and
glasses instead ol pewter uiug* to
drink iriftfc, and in her hatlisromu she
had mirrors, and this wan considered
a great extravagance. Her immense
and lofty room* wuro meiigre and
cheerless enough Willi their want)
furniture; >ud her table, in spite 0|
j uiauy pieces of plate, wit* nut alto
jgethet removed froiu the rudeness of
! manner* of the early Saxons. At first,
I two |>ersous tie Irwin one "Trencher,"
as it wis culled. There were no
plates,, and these trenchers were made
to answej the purpose Tli- y «"ere.
in fuot, large slices of bread, placed
belore each one-(or two), to uccom
uiodate thu iaeai . Tuere two
qualities of bread; ouc flue, to be eat»
ei ; t e other, of the course, inferior,
flour, was made luto large loaves,
theu the outer crust was removed and
laid asiile for the poor, and the rest
was cut into very think and substan
tial slices, and thus u»ed instead ol
plates.
In the course ot time, some Ittgeni.
ous person conceived the h. ppy iiiea
ol having real p'aies; the wealth)
lurnished themselves with valuable
one* of silver, and eveiil'u.-tl|y the
common people were provided will,
huch as their circumstances admitted,
