MIDNIGilTJXVASION.
Madame Ciirrelle's school was a remark
able institution, and the Madame was a
remarkable woman. I was of, what
Myroi calls, , the bread-and-butter-age.
therefore, did not appreciate these things
muchjpbut I did appreciate the four
lovelyr girls who w ere ray intimates. Ves
,ella Raymond was my favorite.
I shall neve,r forget an incident related
ly he1brother.
Phekind her mother lived alone on their
stati and were one day alone in the
2??-the servants being all ont when
strigRling ruffian entered ta parlor
wrher they sat and demanded their money
and jewels;
Mr4 Raymonfl was X'aralyaed with fear.
Vestejla feigned excessive terror; and
taking a iufJB Im,x frbm her packet,
she headed it io him with the key, saying :
" Ae were, preparing for a journey and
nad jfiiokd pur jewels. I believe this box
C0nt;us Uie-wi; will you open this and
see ? My linijers tremble so I cannot un
lock jr."
Th man laid his pistols on the sofa for
the pin-pose of unlocking the box, when
Vestflla snatched them tip, and com
manded hixn not to stir hand or foot.
It was his turn to be appalled, for there
was ho mistaking the wilt flashing from
thcu eyes, and there was no trembling in
the finger tliai pressed the trkrger.
-JU &a&iiunlt! ! -V?r.",Tr- .,
lata few moments the' servants entered,"
and lie was secured.
This was Vestella's style, and she man
ifested it in various ways among us. But
the steely vigor of her character was
soffened and rendered lustrous by the
glittering polish of mirthfulness and
frolic
Her merry conversation was our unfailing-antidote
for homesickness. So cheer
fuland affectionate, so warm-hearted and
coit tiding. And wliat sarcastic observa
tions she would make, not exactly "upon
mern and things ;' bnt nu things in gen
eral and the Madame in particular.
At her instigation we Ave formed our
selves into a society "for the mutual,
discussion awl preservation of all such
secrets as it seemed unadvisable to com
nipnijcate to our many friends among the
otfier young ladies in the school."
pur rules provided tliat.lb.ere should be
no reserve upon any subject between the
members ; that any interview with a gen-
tmnn siionld be faithfully reportetl, and
all that, transpired at said interview ; and
ttjat any member guilty of falling in love :
should have her hair cut short and woven
lftto bracelets for the-other tour.
1 Vetella was a rogue, a mischief, a very
Amazon, tehe could skale, ride, swim, ,
and oil dear, 1 cannot mention half her
exploits. Vet when 1 remember how Bhe '
hung over me through the long nights,
when I was racked with fever, away irom
home . and friend, how nearly she
filled the place of a mother to me, I
felt persuaded that, if the memliersof our
society had an opportunity to fall in iove,
she would be the Hrst one to improve it.
I The house was built in a style uncom
mon in this country It peculiarity con
sisted in two souHi-e towers upon the
front one upon each corner giving it
Jtiie appearance of an Kpiscopal cnurch.
i Vestella called it the double-barrelled
School house. The honbe proper was
Hbree stories in height, and the towers rose .

Sot each story opened upon a broad verau-
itdah, extending across the front of the
'house and quite around each tower, and
fthese piazzas were, supported one above
the other by alender pillars.
The upper story in eacn tower nau.

establishment hau ao-often forced upon,
her mind the propriety of shortly enlarg

her point, and was installed in the " tower

It suited the society, for we could discuss:
our secrets without danger of being over

witn Kaui Kaik-s. a real savage,
jealous-tempered fellow, just as I bet with
you now. He got in, and got out. and no
OIe in the school ever knew it. He took
faithful note of everything, partieularly
the featuies of the occupant. He cut off
one of her curls and tarried it to Paul.
He had no idea that Paul had the remotest
acquaintance wifh any of the girls. But
I knew all the time that Paul had been
introduced to one of them, and had been
flirting desperately with her for six
months. Sow, it hnpjiened liiat her
chamber was the very one. Cleth fonnd
a photograph upon the table and carried
it along with the ctirl, to prove that he
had- won the bet. liut he showed it to
i inree or lour ot us letlows first. It was a
lihotograph, of Paul liimceK. ll.ew k
i laughed at Pavd about it : and, oh, how
I enraged he was! He challenged
Cleth and shot him ; iui.1 now, if yon '
" You need not fear me, for I have not
been flirting with any of them ; least of
all with that tall, fierce one up there. If
she should happen to wake up-
" But you: can never get down again
without being caught."
" Can't I, though ? I'm a good path
finder and never get lost."
" You will try it to-night, you say "
" To-night at 2 o'clock?'
And they walked oil.
I was petrified with astonishment for a
few moments. As soon as I could collect
my scattered senses I fled to the house and
rushed Up to Vestella. All the society
members were with her. I burst upon
them with the terrible news I had
heard.
Nellie de Lisle fell at once into a swocn.
Anna. Vesey screamed and wrung her
hands in terror, while Florilla Carter and
myself insisted, upon reporting all to
Madame.
"Xo, no. girls, do nothing of the kind."
said Vestella, as she calmly sprinkled
water upon Nellie's face, and tried other
means to restore her. Ve will arrange
it better than that. Come up here, all of
you," she continued, after a pause, as she
saw Nellie beginning to revive. Come
up here, after Mile. Westron has been
through, and I will show you a trick that
will astonish ynu."
The hall-teacher went her rounds every
night aLJO o'clock to see that the lights
were all out and the girls in order. And
that night, after she had retired, we
noiselessly slipped lip to the appointed
place.
Vestella had closed all the blinds and
dropped the curtains, fastening the two
side windows and leaving the sasu of the
front window up. She waited for about
an hour to be sure that all in the house
were asleep, then cautiously lighted a
lamp and proposed her plan.
It was adopt ed with many suggestions
and improvements and much sutpre?sed

which shall be left with the court for your
future good behavior. After which you
must have a cupful of cold water poured
over your head. This you can show to
your comrades as evidence that you won
the bet. Now," sir."
He rose from his knees, and, walking'
straight up to Anna Vesey, knelt before
her, and executed that part of his sen
tence. Then to Floriila, ami so on to all
of us, using different terms to every one,
expressing himself so elegantly and with
such appnrent sincerity, that we were
secrely enraptured with and forgave him
readily, though none of us spoke. , ; L
Then came the water ceremony.
Vestella idled a large cut glass pitclier
w ith water, and, making him stoop with
his face over the washstund, poured it over
his head. -
Then we each idled it in turn, and
poured it over his head and down his:

He crept to the winuow."
Ve followed him to the balustrade, saw
him reacli tu ground and run nimbly
down the lawn.
The whole-scene had occupied but little
more than an hour.

was a new one, very thick and heavy
and set it up edgewise ; just the distance
of its width from the window. Tnen hav
ing taken out the bed-rope, we made a
slip-noose in one end and spread it open
Tinder the window, raising it a little from
the floor by means of a circle of thick
books. Vestella took the, other end in her
band, and, having extinguished the lignt,
stationed herself in tne darkest corner,
beside the window. We fonr crouched be
hind the mattress, ready to ptish it over
t a signal from her. -It

In a few seconds we heard bis hand-t
creak, as he grasjied the balus.rade, and
immediately his iiead and shoulders were
thrust through the window. The mat trass
seemed to startle him.
He looked around, listened, then seem
ingly impressed with the necessity of
greater caution, he gently set one foot
upon the floor, then the other, then stood
erect, and lowked and listened again.
Vestella pulled the cord witn all her
fctreagth and down lie went.
Down went the ruaUras upon him,
smothering his exclamations, if he uttered
any.
iiach of us flew to a corner, and forced
it down with all the force we c jtild mus
ter in our trepidation.
We heard no sounds from him and felt
no struggles.
He evidently felt himself in a scrape,
and had shrewdness enough to perceive
the more quietly he took it, tue more
easily he would get through.
hat little noise mere was occasiom-o i
bustle in the room lelov : the hall-teacher
rapped at the door. "Xow,''.I thought all
is-over with us."
' Miss Kavmond.
' Well, Mademoiselle." replied Vestella
drowsily, as if awakened irom a sound
sleep. -
" Is all quiet in your room ? "
"Perfectly, Mademoiselle.
" I heard a noise as of some one falling."
"So did I, Mademoiselle. It mut have
been in the street. 1 will open the door

"Oh. no: I would net disturb you.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Small capotes and slightly larger bon
nets with peaked brims make up the bnlk
of the trimmed hats imported from Paris
as models for spring and summer nse.
The fish-wife bonnet is most largely im
ported, as its pointed brim has finally
found its way into general favor, though
it is still considered appropriate and be
coming only to young faces:
Straw bonnets are shown In all dark
colors to match costumes, but there is a
great number of ecru, beige, brown, and
black ; English straws trimmed to wear
with various dresses. Bonnets made up
of some fanciful fabric over a frame of
wire, are to be used for dress occasions,
and these are marked by an abundance of
color and gay contrasts ; indeed, a mon
otone bonnet is the exception instead of
the rule, as it was last year.
Flowers will be used in -preference to
feathers on spring bonnets. U'he new im
portations show boSquets of several kinds
of flowers mounted as pompons or ai
grettes, JThlstler, in their brightest pur
ple, or else going- To seed, are among the
new flowers, and orchids of oddest form
are also represented. Large poppies with
long stemmed buds still wrapped in their
green calyxes are liked for straw bonnets
and field daisies, buttercups, aiW corn
flowers are bunchei together. Birds' nests
of chenille, with grasses inside and tiny
birds perched on the stems that ( he nets
'rest upon, are also shown.
" Small gilt pins placed near together all
around the velvet binding of the bonnet
are stylish ornaments. Very large dragon-flies
of gilt, with gauze-like wings and
iewelled eyes : are also shown, and these
long pins with a claw end holding a
pearl, or cat's eye, or one of the glittering
electric stones that shine most brilliantly.
Large filigree balls studded with tur
quoise or with coral, or banded with che
nille, are on the long pins that are to be
thrust through loops of trimming.
-French laces imitating real thread laces
are used for making entire bonnets, and
for partly trimming others. Wide scarfs
or barbes of lace are doubled, and have
the edges gathered together across the top,
and the closed part tnen fofms the crown,
while the lower edges are? filled in, and
covered with a bandeau of jet in whic h
are many pendent beads. This bandeau
edges the front also, and flowers with loops
of velvet or of watered ribbon form the
high trimming, and the strings match the
ribbon loons. Poppy red tulle or French
crape and black lace make a stylish con
trast in such bonnets.
The snail bonnet is a new idea in niilli
nery, made by gradually widening circles
of straw on each side of the bonnet, with
lace and velvet loops in front that poke
upward in the shape of horns. The fash
ionable bows of velvet ribbon for trim
ming are made in two ways ; the first is
of ribbon two inches wide folded double
and in several erect loops, with three ar
four ends sharply indented ; the second
reauires two bows, each made of ribbon
only an inch wide, with a long loop and
forked ends on each side, tightly strapped
together. These bows in the quaint new
shades of dull blue or red are seen on al
most all bonnets, and many of these have
two colors combined.
For the country are large pokes of roush
straw of many colors, trimmed with a
bunched up kerchief of printed mnslin in
moyenage colors and designs, and lined in
the brim with puffs of red or yellow crin
kled crape. Long pins of gilt or oxidized
silver are thrust in the loops of the ker
chief. Printed foulard squares are used
in the same way, and the flowers printed
upon them are repeated m an aigrette
mat is utexi witn xnem.
Squares of soft mull printed in Madras
5fWHie
ered galloon is to be used as a support for
shell frills of lace that are to extentt'very
high around the neck.
v elvet cockade bows of bright red, blue,
or yellow ribbons are worn on the front of
the corsage to brighten up dark dresses.
A throat bow of dull plaid silk or of a
moyenage etamine scarf is added to morn
ing toilettes.
Colored embroidered collars are. intro
duced for children, and are to be worn
alike by small boys and girls. They are.
in the open desigus of Irish laces, and are
shown in dull gray and ecru, and in dark
red or blue with white embroidery.
There are also new and tasteful collars
for these little folks made of bhx-ks of fine
linen alternating with embroidered blocks,
and edged with a finely wrought ruffle.

FAMOUS AUTHORS.
Tne Personal Appearance of Iflen
Whose Names are Ilouneliold
Words.
N. P. Willis always looked as though he
had just stepped out of a bandbox. He was
of light-build and stood abut five feet
nine. He drefesed in the best taste and
his countenance, though deficient in man
ly dignity, was so pretty that he was a
great favorite with the ladies. His part
ner, George P. Morris, who once was so
popular as a song writer, was a - short,
shout man, with a dull countenance, which
would hardlv suggest Woodman, Spare
that Tree." Poe was of rather undersize
and dressed in good taste for one (so
wretchedly poor. His face had a sad,
dreamy, intellectual look, which would
at once rivet attention. Lougfellow was
a man of indifferent appearance. Before
he became gray he was a blonde and the
most striking feature was his nose, which
was altogether too prominent for beauty.
When I first saw him his face was clean
shaven, and this rendered the nasal organ
the more conspicuous. I think that he

in order to give the rest of his face, more
fullness and thus reduce the nose to rea

was marked by power. He too had
a prominent nose, but it was one which
gave dignity and strength to his face.
Edward Everett was a- man of un

much to his admirable oratory. James
Fenimore Cooper, however, bore the
palm among the literati of his day, and.
Ia fact, of any other day. It is doubtful if
the world of letters ever contained his
equal in manly beauty. He stood fully
six feet and was finely proportioned. His
movements were easy and had that air
which belongs to naval service, in which
he passed his early years. His head was
large, and his features were of a leonine
cast, while his clear, gray eyes were
radiant with power. He was one of that
class of authors whose personal appear
ance was superior to tneir writings. I
saw him once plead in court, the case be
ing one of his libel suits, and the impres
sion became at once indellible.. Those libel
suits, like libel suits in general, were a
great blunder, but they certainly develop
ed a surprising gift of eloquence. Cooper,
indeed, was the only American author

SrW Clothes.
Old clothes may1 be comfortable and
economical aud they may have associations
that are invaluable to us. How many
miles has Amaryllis walked with her
sweetheart in her old boots ! with how
many disappointments has she not wrestl
ed in her old hat with its languid feat hers!
how many pangs has she not smothered in
her old cloak with its rusty trimmings !:
but in spite of the dearest associations,
and a pathetic feeling that one's edd clothes
are a part of one's self, like the skin, Ihey
do provoke one with a disagreeable habit
of splitting and erackin and growing
threadbare, und losing , altogether their
original characteristics of respectability
and usefulness. To lie sure, there are
peade so insane as to dislike new clothes
people who assure us that new lioots are
a pinchi"1? abomination, that newtloves
are an invention of the fiend, that new
gowns give 6i.e an overpowering sense of
the unfitnesslof things a sense of respon
sibility, and of principal invested in stock
that pays no interest.. not calcnlating that
the interest is returned, to us in self-complacency
and the knowledge tiiat, come
what will, our garments a-e as fiedi aa
our neighbors', rne sage has ioIcius that
" the consciousness of K-mg well dressed
imparts a greater tranquillity to the mind
than the consolations of religion can af
ford," and there surely is nothing that so
completely divests the average woman 'of
dignity and self-respjct, or the capacity to
do herself justice, as to be keenly alive to
the hole in her elbow, the shininess of her
silk, or the rustiness of her boots that the
best blacking has failed to medicine : she
has in this case A pertinacious conviction
of her own unworthiness and insignifi

Thoreau says that "'our moulting season,
like that of the fowls, must be a crisis in
our lives," and indeed many of us find it
so. unless our purse is bottomless, or like
the purse of Fortunatus ; there is such a
bitter uncertainty whether the new
"things" will become us; whether the
gown will be well moulded to our figure
and draped to our fancy; whether the
bonnet will add or subtract from our years;
whether the gloves will not split at the
first trial, or the boots pinch ; aud, above
all, whet her the whole costume will con
tinue in voue till it is shabby, or lose its
style so early that we shall be made almost
as miserable as if we had not abandoned
the old one, Aud yet how much we will
endure on 'account of new clothes; what
tedious hours of shopping, of matching
colors : what snubs from salesmen who
are disappointed in the, brevity of our
purse, snubs from dressmakers who de
spise us for our love of simplicity, it may
be, or our desire to be gorgeous without
the means, not to mention the discour
