You, too believe me guilty of this thing " says Mark rising, his voice hoarse, his eyes maglignant. “I believe Sir Rupert would have been at Lady Daintrec‘s last night had it not been made impossible to him.” “Ah I ah,” cries Mark wildly, losing now all control over himself. “You would believe angthing because you are infatuated about him. You are as vulgarly in love with him as any I’hyllis with her Uoi'ydon.” “Silence, sir I” cries Sir Rupert. “I will not be silent,” furiously, “and as the end has come learn then that I did do my best to prevent your appearance at the ball last night.

Sir Rupert still holds (iwendolinc close to his heart. Indeed she had been on the point of fainting. “Oh, is he gone tears. “Yes, forever, I hope, so far as we aie concerned. And now (lwendoline, I will risk no further chances. Tell me, tell me that I may hope.” “Oh, you know it I” said she sobbing, with her face against his brc' st. “Only how can you bear to look at me again after all I said to you ‘3” “There is only one thing I can remember,” says be holding her close to him. “It was that»~ahout your being an heire“ ” He draws his breath quickly, in _a hurt sort of way. “Ah I He said that among other dreadful accusations,” cries she. “I can’t recall the others ; they don’t seem to matter now. lint that cut me to the hcart.

I ran a few steps and it seemed to me that the whole planet was turning round. I sprawled all over to keep from falling, and when I struck the sidewalk I nearly knocked two men down who were passing, in my attempt to preserve an equilibrium. As I reeled away I heard one of them exclaim : ‘ It’s a shame to see a woman in such a condition on the public streetsrshe ought to be arrested.’ I could not run after him to explain matters, but I havenever had the slightest ambition to jump offa street car in motion since.

Is there love at first sight? 12. “hat is love at first sight ‘1 And many others. Ye who are married can best answermany of these questions. Only one who has made experiments in marriage in all its phases could singly answer all of them. And not unlikely the result of such experiment would prove anything but edifying. I am, therefore prepared only to give the result of my own venture in the matrimonv ial boat as a partial guide, completing the latter by giving the resqys of other men’s and women’s ventures 0 ‘marriages. Probably the first approach of that fender feeling known as love is felt when at school a red cheek seems to the average boy lovely as a peach, and he respects the poss 'sor for her gift. Maybe a big blue eye strikes him as prettier than anyhc has seen in the picture book mother bought him for a (‘hrisfmas present, and he wishes that he might have this living picture book near by to look at when he chooses. Now, she with the red check or she with the big blue eye may see across the aisle in the little school-room a bright little fellow whose clothes fit as nicely and look as pretty as those on the doll she takes delight in fond- ling at home. For a. doll is the first object outside the immediate household for which your little daughter shows any liking. The doll is her beau ideal. To winhcr favor one must con~ form to that model. Its shape, the color of its hair and eyes, its clothing speak to her in language mystic and full of meaning. To her it is the symbol of mothers care, first love, wifely devotion and perhaps the incentive of those sweet flattcrics that in after years may turn some poor fellows head. The influence of the doll is never lost; it survives through life. Behind it is all the desire of possessing something to respond to the feelings, and rather than not have any- thing we too frequently take what does not satisfy our desires. And as our impressions of what we need are true or false, so will possession bring joy cr sorrow, and when the question comes to us, whom and when shall we marry? “'0 should inquire into our needs and ascertain just what sort of a partner will supply our needs. The question should never resolve itself into whether blondc should marry blonde, whether brunette should marry burnette, or whether partners should be of different coin» plexions. An investigation on the comâ€" plexion hypothesis might prove entertaining, but would, I fear, bring us back to where we started. lint to my answers: I. You are in love when you absolutely need the object of your allottiion. 2. A poor person can afford to marry if marriage will increase the possibilities of escape from poverty. 3. You will be happy with one whose tastes, education and moral views are similar to your own. 4. You always will be loved if you observe the above rules and do not lose sight of the fact that Still in mutual sufl'erance lies The secret of true living: Love s ,11'('c is love that does not know The sweetness of forgiving. 5. You always will love if you realize that obedience to duty is the only medicine for conscience, and that perfect happint _ n this world at least, is buta shadow of a dream. 6. You will see somebody whom you will love more when your sense of duty becomes blunted, which will only happen in case you have not observed the first rule laid down. 7. Marry young if your nature has devel- oped fully: if not, wait until your nature has developed. Ilather than marry when undeveloped never marry at all. 8. Marry a widow according to rules laid down previously. I). Name. as number 8. IO. Always mar 'y if you truly love, but do not confound fancy and infatuation withltlie noble passion. II and 12. There is love at first sight, but it is simply a quick a'id mutual apprehension of similarity in tastes, education and molar views. _.._____.â€"_â€"â€"- llard on the Clerks. There is consternation among the clerks of the Provincial Bank of Ireland whose direct~ 01‘s have decreed. that none of their clerks is to marry until his salary reaches £150 a year. This edict would not be conâ€" sidered so tyrannical were it not for the fact that the possible maximum of a bank clerk’s salary is only £l20 in most cases, so that the new rule may be regarded as one to en» force celibacy. lint if the new rule is to be continued, the clerks argue, it will surely be unjust to oblige them to each contribute £4 per year to the “widows’ fund,” besides the special payments exacted from benedicts who marry when they have attained 40 years of age. Those who are to :havc no wives cannot well leave widows, and it is hard for those condemned to lives of celibacy to be taxed for the benefit of other men’s widows. It may be presumed that the hardship of the rule is not perceived by the directors who daily came in contact. with a whole army of men that pass their lives in single blessedness (?) and make no complaintabout the matter. The directors ought to consider, however, that the attitude of the will in re» lation to any condition is everything in inak ing that condition tolerable or otherwise. In the case of the celiba’te ecclesiastics their lot is one of choice, and is influenced by re. ligious considerations. In the case of the bank clerks it is a condition forced upon them and from which, no doubt, the great body of them would gladly escape. Itis doubtful whether such a tyrannical rule can be ap- plied. The directors seem to be ignorant of the proverb “wide will wear, but tight Iwill I tear.” Novel Advertising. The competition among traders, manufac- 5 1 o I! 0 ' :esmcwble work: for men and women.

A Lon don correspondent writes : A German steamer which is intended to make the round of the ports of the world, carrying a floating bazaar as a cargo, is now being loaded at Hamburg, and the origin- ators 0f the idea hope that she will sail be» fore the end of June. Stalls are to be erected on the decks, and German goods will be displayed to all advantage. There will be curiosities and side shows, refresh- ments peculiar to the German nation and music by the fatherland’s composers given by faultless Teutonic bands. A 'mall army of commercial travellers will in ite largely all possible customers at every port of call. There was an idea of having young ladies to preside over some of the stalls, but it did not commend itself to favor, some of the older heads thinking the damsels might part with their own sensitive hearts as well as with their goods and quit the ship altogeth- er. I‘laeh voyage is to last two years and the, first stoppage will probably be New York.
