GOLDEN BUBBLES.
Ecsire tot thou too greatly, for. like fire
Destroying what it enfoldf, bo is desire.
Success that was his thought, his hope, his
aim.
Afield or housed, noon, midnight, dusk or
dawn.
That dazzling image his heart dwelt upon.
For, if he slept, Imagination's flame
Burnt like a steady torch, lighting the same
Determined rath which way his soul had
gout ;
And if he waked, the dream, still unwith
drawn, Remained, unchanged, his conscious force to
claim.
At last "twas his. An airy figure brought,
Light-balanced on soft finger-tips, a sphere
Of fine-wrought gold. But his trained hands
forgot
Their skill for one brief instant, in the fear
To lose the gift. Too eagerly they caught
This glittering tall, which crumbled into
naught.
?o strength may win what it may fail to
keep !
This world's gifts vary only in degree.
They are but air sphered in the thinnest
gold;
The bubbles must be jostled tenderly.

EY MATTIE DYER BRITT3.
'Hello, Kate?"
"Yes I" answered a voice above stairs,
as Charley Grant called from the cosy
little hall below.
"Come down here! I've got some
thing to tell you !"
Charley's handsome face wa3 bright
enough to tell anybody that his news
pleased him greatly, as he stood waiting
for his wife to come down. And why
not, since his pretty cousin, Jessie
Kingsbury, had come at one time very
near tilling the place which Kate had
now?
But Kate was as sweet and pretty a3
ever Jess had been at least, she used to
be, before Baby Johnnie came and and
well, Kate appeared at the instant, and
even Charley could not call her pretty,
now.
Her golden hair was all bunched up
and tucked back with an ugly comb,
her wrapper unbelted, no collar on, and
her small feet thrust into clumsy old
slippers.
Charley's friends used to say ho was
a perfect fiend on the subject of untidy
women, and he couldn't help a shade
crossing his face as he remembered how
trim and nice Kate was when thej were
first married.
But the shade passed as swiftly as it
came, and he stooped to give her the
usual kiss, as he said:
"Busy, to-day?"
"Yes. Hush, Charley! Don't speak
so loud, you'll wake the baby!"
"Oh, bother the baby! He's always
going to sleep or waking up. or doing
something to make life miserable for
other folks!"
"Why, Charles Grant! Aren't you
ashamed to say that of your own blessed
little son?"
And Kate's eyes began to fill, while
her cheeks reddened.
Charley hastened to undo his mischief
bv saying, tenderly;
"Now, there! You know I was only
joking, dear! He's the finest baby ever
lived, no doubt! Isn't supper ready?
I'm as hungry as a hunter!"
"Yes, it is waiting. I'll ring it up at
once. What was It you wanted to tell
me, Charley?"
"There! Bless my sou!, if I hadn't
forgotten! Who do you think is here?"
couldn't guess, so I won't try. Tell
me:''
"Cousin Jessie Kingsbury! She is
over at Brother John's now. Came to
day!" "Did she?"
There was no very intense interest in
Kate's tone, for she was not over glad to
hear of the young lady's arrival. Guests
were troublesome, but she felt obliged to
say, as Charley waited :
"Will we have to invite her here?"
"Why, of course, Kate I We'll dc
our part of the entertaining, with Stella
and John. We must call to-morrow and
set a time for her to come to us. She
will stay a month or two. Jess is sc
lively, we can't be dull while she is
here."
Kate was just conscious of a queer
twinge at Charley's word3, but she led
the way to the table, and poured the tea
with her usual pleasant manner.
There! I forgot something else,
too,' cried Charley, suddenly clapping
his hand on his pocket. "I've got a
treat for us to-night."
"What is it?" asked Kate.

pasteboard from his pocket and held
them up to her. .
"What are they?" said she. "Theatre
tickets?"
"Yes. 'Faust,' by a splendid com
pany. I knew you always wanted to hear
'Faust,' so I got 'em on purpose for
you."
Charley looked pleased, but Kate's
fair face clouded, as she answered:
"Well, I am sorry you spent the
money. I can't go."
"Can't go! Why in the world can't
you, then? You are so fond of good
opera. I thought this would be a real
treat.
"So it would, Charley, if I could leave
the baby."
"But I thought you had a good girl?"
"Well, I have a perfect treasure."
"Well, don't you think she might
manage to rook the babv for two hours
on one occasion?" aked Charley, seri
ously. "Oh, but Charley, he might be taken
sick or something."
"Yes, the house might burn down;
but I don't think it will," returned
Charley, more shortly than he often
spoke to Kate. "I'm very sorry you
won't go," he added, as he rose from the
table, his appetite quite spoiled. "It is
a disappointment to me."
"Why, you can go, I'm sure, Charley.
I shall not care at all."
"No; I'll stay with you, and we can
have our own music. I have not heard
you sing for a month."
Kate hesitated a moment, then she
said :
"But, Charley, I must stay up in the
nursery. I never trust Johnnie to Sarah
of evenings."
Charley frowned, stood irresolute an
instant, and said ;
"Oh, well, then, I don't see why I
shouldn't get some pleasi-e, if I can.
I'll just drop over to John's and see if
they are going. As I have two tickets,
if Jess cares to go we might all make a
party of it."
"Yes, certainly; go, Charley. I don't
want you to stay at home because I have
to."
"You know I had rather be with you,
my dear. But it's dull work sitting down
stairs alone all evening."
Then Charley kissed her, put on his
overcoat and went away. But after he
was gone Kate began to be conscious of
a lonely, uneasy feeling, and to wish she
had gone, too. Of course, Charley was
as loyal and true-hearted as a man could
be. But, to think of him sjtting beside
that dashins, black-eyed Jess all the
evening and showing her all the little at
tentions which he knew so well how to
give a woman; it worried her, somehow,
and she could not help it. She was not
jealous. Oh, no! She had told him to
go and really hoped he would enjoy it.
But but she did wish she had left
Johnnie to Sarah for one evening and
made one of that opera-party with the
rest.
As for Charley, as he walked rapidly
over to his brother's he wondered if he
wasn't a precious rascal for wishing that
blessed baby had never come into his
house. To be sure, it was a bright
little thing, sweet and cute, and he
would have loved it dearly and been
very proud of it (as he was, after all, if
he had only known it), but since it ar
rived, Kate had been no companion at
all for him. She was everlastingly up in
that nursery, and she neglected her dress
and her hair, and never read or san to
him or went out with him, and he was
feeling the change sadly.
"Of course, it is right to be a devoted
mother," he said to himself ; "but I do
wish the mother had not so entirely dis
placed the wife. It's hard on a fellow,
and I don't like it. I don't wonder men
get tired of their wive?, if they all do
the same way."
Just then Charley ran against a passer
bv, and as he glanced up to apologize,
saw his brother.
"Ah, John!" was his greeting. "I'm
just on my way to your house."
"Well, I'm on my way to yours," re
plied John, laughingly. "We want you
and Kate to go with us to hear 'Faust'
to-night."
"No use to go on," returned Charley.
'I have been trying to induce Kate to
go but she woa't."
"She won't? Why not?"
"She can't leave that precious young
ster. I got her a ticket, but it was no
go. So I w;13 coming over to say if you
want to hear the opera, my tickets arc at
your service."
"Not unless you go with us, Charley.
Of course, vou frill, though. And Jess
can use one of jour tickets."
"Why, I hardly know about going my
self, John. I don't like to leave Kate
at home alone, you know."
"Nonsense! It is her own fault.
Come, I won't hear a word more. For
ward, march! It's time to be off."
Charley submitted, feeling a little re
proached, for, though he had set out
with the intention of going to the play,
when he took a second thought, he did
not care to go without Kate. But Miss
Jessie was very willing to be escorted by 1
her handsome cousin.
Kate had gone to bed before he got
home, and he would not disturb her.
But at breakfast next morning he told
her what a grand time they had enjoyed.
"Ye-es? I am very glad, Charley,'1 '
said Kate, rather faintly.
"Oh, yes. We only missed you, dear.
But Jess is so lively, one couldn't help
having a good time with her. By the
way, Kate, she says, as you are so busy
with the babv, she will not stand on cere
mony and wait for you to call on her.
She is coining over with Stella to-day.
We must have her to stay here, you
know. If you can't spare time to enter
tain her, why, I can."
A sudden feeling, which she could not
explain, fired Kate's heart, and made
her say, with some spirit:
"I shall do my part, of course, Char
ley." "That's a good girl!" he returned, in
tones of real pleasure. "I knew you
would if if that wretched
"Charles Grant!"
"Oh, excuse me that precioua baby
did not absorb all your time. Then
you'll invite her to stay when they call?"
"Yes."
"You're a darling! Wish I could be
here, too. But you can make them stay
to dinner. Good-bye !" A kiss, and he
was off.
"Oh, ye3! She'll stay, fast enough!"
sighed Kate, as she went upstairs. "But
what 1 wish is that people would just
stay at home as I do. However, as MUs
Jess has no husband and baby to keep
her at home, it is to be expected that
she will go anywhere where she can find
amusement."
And then 3Iiss Kate nodded her head,
j and her eyes had an unusual sparkle in
them, as if she had suddenly come to
some resolution which she was deter
mined to carry out.
Kate flew around in her nursery that
morning with a will; and before her
callers could possibly be expected she
had taken off her untidy wrapper, curled
her hair and made herself as pretty as
she could. If she took a bit of a cry
while she held the curling-iron, it might
have been because that small instrument
of torture was too hot.
They came, and it seemed to Kate that
Jess looked slightly surprised at her ap
pearance. "Why, they told me you had grown
quite domestic, dear! Given up society,
and all thatl'' the young lady cried,
settling her silken plumage in Kate's
cosiest chair. "But I declare, you look,
as fresh and blooming as ever! I am
quite vexed with Charley." j
T hope you enjoyed the opera, last
night?" observed Kate, rather coolly,'
noi; replying to her words.
"Oh, yes. indeed! It seemed like old
times to be with Charley again. Oh,
by the way, did he tell you he was going
to take me out riding this afternoon?"
she rattled on. "I told him he ought to
take you, but he said you wouldn't go."
"Not to-day. Some other time, with
pleasure," answered Kate. But her
uual "I couldn't leave the baby" wa?
not spoken, and Stella stared a little,
and then smiled and nodded her head,
as if she had suddenly chanced upon a
bright idea.
Kate gave the invitation Charley had
suggested, but the visitors declined to
to remain to dinner that day. Miss
Jessie promised to come in a few days
and spend a week or two with them.
At noon, instead of Charley, came the
oSee-boy, bringing a little note, to say
that she need not wait, for he would not
come to dinner. Had an engagement
for the afternoon, but would come home
early to supper.
"An engagement? Yes; to ride with
his cousin'" said Kate, to herself with a
smile. "All right, Mr. Charley! The
next time, I rather think I will be of the
party."
She was very busy that afternoon. But
when Charley came up at tea-time, it was
the old Kate who met him in the hall,
with fluffy hair and faultless dress, as he
had noi seen her for months.
"Vi'hv, Kit!" he cried, his handsome
face all aglow. "Has any one corns? Are
you going out!"
Subscription, 81.00 per Year.
"Yes, I thought if you cared to go, wc
woaTd run 'round to Stella's awhile, this
evening," she answered, putting her hand
on which her diamond ring again shone
on his broad shoulder.
"But, the baby?"' asked Charley,
doubtingly.
"Sarah can do very well with the
baby," said Kate,though her cheeks red
dened under his glance.
"Sarah? Why, Katie, what does it all
mean ? Is it possible "
"Yes, it is quite possible that I am
not going to neglect you any more. Char
ley, my dear," she interrupted, blushing
redder.
"Hallelujah!" And Charley caught
her to him in a swift embrace. "Kate,
I'm the happiest fellow in town just this
minute!"
"Then I shall take care to keep you
so," said Kate. "Come to supper, silly
boy."
She kept her word. The Ledger.
LADIES' COLUMN.
FRILLS ARE IX FASHION.
This will be a season of lace. Yo'j
can't get too much lace on your- gowns,
your hats, your parasols and your petti
coats. Every one who is the fortunate
possessor of old lace is now bringing out
the heirlooms. The absurd mixture of
lace and cloth grows apace, and the
smart girls are flouncing their cloth
gowns with Honiton and Mechlin ond
oriental frillings. A second wide frill
edges the bottom of basques. This is
the ultra-fashionable garniture of the
season. Chicago ITerald.
A SUGGESTION FOR TACKING FIATS.
When a woman packs her trunk with
her good clothes in it what troubles her
is not to get her fine gowns laid away
without wrinkles or crease, for her whole
trunk has been constructed to that end
in shallow trays with numberless straps.
What really bothers her is her hats. The
hat boxes in the trunk are altogether in
adequate, being too few in number, too
large for ore hat and too small for two.
The real need is for a hat trunk which
shall be given up entirely to the disposi
tion of hats, as the ordinary trunk is to
owns. No inventive genius has yet set
ais brain at work to supply this want,
A.nd women are therefore driven to all
rinds of shifts to move their hats from
place to place in good condition. A con
tributor to a New York paper knows one
woman who has her hats packed in a
barrel specially arranged for that pur
pose, with hooka fastened inside on
which the hats are fastened. For one of
the requisites of successful hat packing
is that the hats should have some means
of anchorage, so that in the tossing about
of the journey they should net get
crushed. A trunk devised for this pur
pose should be divided into compart
ments, some large and some small, and
each of these should have its own separ
ate cover. It should also have tapes by
which the hat can be firmly tied in a
place, and so kept from the destruction
that follows their being loosely placed in
their boxes and tossed from one side to
the other in their journey. Chicago
Post.
PRETTINESS AN OBJECTION.
"I saw a young lady refused a position
for a peculiar reason yesterday," said a
salesman for a wholesale glove house.
"I was in one of the retail stores on State
street, talking trade with the manager ot
the glove department.
"It seems he had advertised for a
young lady to fill a position at the glove
counter. Several had been selected from
among the number that had responded tc
the advertisement and been sent to him
that he might choose the one whose ap
pearance and qualifications suited him
best. One of them seemed to please his
fancy, her appearance and manner indi
cating that she would bi the right one
for the position. Presently he n;d :
" 'Remove your glove and let me see
your hand, please.'
"She did so, and displayed one of the
smallest, whitest, prettiest hands I ever
j looked upon.
" 'A very beautiful hand,' said he, as
she daintily extended it for inspection;
but I cannot give you the position asked.
You see, no lady with ordinary-looking
hands would be satisfied with them when
contrasted with the smal!nes3 and beauty
of youra. Envy would cause her to
think that the gloves made her hands
look large, and she would be dissatisne l
and go away without making a pur
chase.' And as the went away with a down
cast look, I woadeTeh aajroaea
there are in the -world who would, if they
could, trade hands with hex." CMeagt

FASHION NOTES.
The prevalence of very light-colored
cloth dresses and wraps is very marked.
Cat's-eyes and tiger's-eyes arc added to
the imitation jewels with which dress
trimmings arc studded.
Each and every new sunshade and
parasol is fashionable, even if it does vary
a little in the style of make up.
Country house furniture is very beau
tiful this season, with styles running to
copies of the Chippendale and colonial.
Checked tweed gowns for mourning
or traveling are made with a deep coat
and plain skirt simply finished with stitch
ing. College fans, which came late last sea
son, are merely so called because repre
sentative colors are introduced on the
sticks.
Girls who have abnormally small
waists, huge stuffed sleeves, and whe
wtar big hats, have been dubbed
;: wasps."
Mousseline de sole and chiffon ruffle?
for the neck are printed with gay fleur
ettes, or else are dotted and scalloped
with black.
Light tweeds and cheviots in brown
and gray, with indistinct cross bars and
checks, are used for tailor gewns for the
demi-season.
The new corduroy silks come in Per
sian and Algerian stripes and in pretty
tri-color green, gold and English rose
and various other bright combination!
that render them most attractive for home
wear.
White and lilac ginghams trimmed
with white feather-stitched braid make
pretty morning dresses for summer, as
do also those of rose pink and cream
gray and silver blue mignonette and ger
anium red.
Some of the new tailor-made traveling
suits for women of Scotch good3 are ex
ceedingly pretty and stylish. They are,
of course, supposed to fit "like paper -on
the wall," no matter how much personal
discomfort the wearer may have to en
dure. Artificial Gems.
Attempts have been made, not with
out success, to form minerals. Artificial
ultramarine has long been an article of
commerce. The formation of the dia
mond is said to have been actually ef
fected, but in the opinion of the inventor
the process is so difficult and so danger
ous, that the diamond-miner and the diamond-merchant
need not feel uneasy.
The ruby ami the sapphire have lately
been reproduced in Paris, and, curiously
enough, the coloring matter in both is
found to be due to one and the same
metal chromium in different states of
combination. Red and blue stones, or
an intermediate violet form which might
be likened to the rare and beautiful
oriental amethyst, have been obtained in
one and the same operation, from the
same lot of material. The jewels thus
produced have so far all been small; large
enough to form the pivot3 of superior
watch works, but not large enough to
rank as rare and costly ornamental ob
jects. The Fjruiii.
Cholera is still causing great ravages

be an utter disregard of sanitary precau
