A New Haven (Conn.) specia. savs; 'lwenty years ago ou Waterbury's society belles visitea Governor's Island. Sbe was young , f nnrl not without taieut. o.U . llictui) ... . C . d,Ai,ul suitors without ai.cruurj - it. inland 1T1(1 number, and upon among her many admirers was a Lieutenant Palmer, fresh irom mi four year's study at West Point. He was a dashing young officer, and the two frequently met. They danced together and were happy. Their acquaintance ripenea iuw and from friendship inxP !ve One bright morning the bell in the little hnnpl was rune and a mama,.. re was " r O - a solemmzea. iuu um.ie ni bury's belle and the groom was Lieu tenant Palmer. After a honeymoon trip of some few months tbe young soldier returned to his garrison and. his wife to her friends in Waterbury. There she was visited frequently by her husband, and his face and figure became familiar in Waterbury streets. Mrs. Palmer lived at the house of a friend, a Mrs. Phillips, who has since moved to New York. About s months after the marriage there was a sudden falling off the young soldier's visits.Weeks passed by arid the Lieutenant failed to put in an appearance in Waterbury. His wife waited in vain for his coming. As the weeks and moaths passed her repeated disappointments told upon her strength, her health gave away, and she seemed to lose ground stead ily until a daughter was born to her The child was something to live for, and Mrs. Palmer gained in strength tvPTV dav. She heard nothing: from her husband, but she was not unhap py. Her daughter seemed to fill the vacant luot his absence created in her heart. But a time came when Mrs. Pal trier had reason to complain of her state. Every day she lived her stock of the world's goods became smaller. What to do with her child she knew iiot; She made plan after plaDj but east them aside as impracticable and foolish. At last she struck upon huppy expedient. She had always had a taste for the stage, and why hot now turn her talent to account.? Leaving her little child in the care of George Todd, a man living at that lime iu YVolcott, she started for New York to seek employment. There she met with more trouble and disap- poTntment. Too proud to stoop to menial work, she was about to start for home a broken-hearted and dis. appointed girl when she chanced to toeet an old friend. To him she con fided her trouble. With him she again made a tour of the theatres, yd was this time more fortunate. She secured an engagement and went to work with a will. Her sal tafywas small, and she could do lit tiefor her child. Mr. Todd cared lor it as he would have for one of his own. Years passed by and Mrs. Palmer did not appear to claim her daughter. Eight years ago Mr. Todd and his family moved to West Haven, where they livo in a cottage on Brown street. Jeunie Palmer, then a bright little school-girl, , moved there with iiim. Up to last summer she was one of the family . She came to New ilaveu, wuere she secured employ ment iu one of tue large stores. This suimmr she is a bookkeeper for F. Lucas, proprietor of the Lucas House, W est Haven, but has begun ats tempting to find her mother, telling the story that is recorded here, but aa yet has been unsuccessful. . She is a slender girl, with clearcut leas tures and dark eyes aud hair. X. An Enterprising, Sellable House. K. T.
