HE had promised him that she would mend the lining of his new overcoat if he would wear another and lettere that clA home. And so, all he left it, she took it from the hall and carried it into her boudoir. Her name was Eve Wilton, and she had been married five years and never—never—never—never in all that tin'he had one unhappy moment, Mr. Wilton Wd been very attentive, very kind, very generoas and had never made her jealoue. She often said that she was the happiest wolan living. Now, as she looked at the lining and compared the silk with which she was shoat to replace the torn portion she wasthinking these thoughts. Theyhad never had any children, but when people are all in all to eaott other that is no very grsao grief. All her care was for him—all ils for her. "And he is just the dearest, beet, tguest fellow in the world," said Eve to herself. ":1'm not half good enough for him. I 'Kander what this is in his pocket; it) bulges Hall out of shape." rehe put her hand into the breast pocket ace she spoke and drew out a little package wrapped in paper and tied with blue ribbon. "Something he has brought for me, I expect," said Eve. "1 wonder what it Is.? I think that I won't open it until he cemes home." She laid the stilt across the hole, cut it out and basted it down. I wonder what it is ?" said she.. "Tom did mean bo get me an opera -glass, I know; but that is not the shape of the parcel. Ib doesn't seem like a book. It) might be lace wound on a card—real lace." She looked at the package again. "1 do wonder what ib is? " said she ; and then hemmed the pee& down. "There wasn't much to mend, after all. I thought the tear mueb. longer. He caught) it on a nail in the office. Now I do wonder what isein that package ?" Eve pub the coat over a chair and took up the parcel. "Tom won't mind," she said. "1 will east take a peep. I'm sure it's for me." Then she undid the ribbon, unfolded the paper and saw letters. Dear Tom ! He keeps my lebters next hire heart and he has never told me." Bat the writing was nob hers ; she saw that at a glance. "His mother's letters," she said. "He loved his mother so." Then she began to tremble a little, for the bitters did not begin with " My dear son" nor wibh anything like it. She oast her eyes over them. They were love letters. Tom had loved some other woman be- fore he met me," she said, beginning to ory. "Oh, what) than I do ?" Then she cried one, "Oh, foolish creature that I am 1 Of course, she died and he only loves me now. It was all over before '• we must nob mind." But here she paused, gave a scream, and ellen threw the letters from her as though a -serpent had bitten her. II) was dated in the previous week. It was not four days old. "Oh ! oh ! oh !' cried Eve. "Oh, what shall I do? Oh, where shall I go ?' At every cry a thought pierced her breast like e. stab. TO111, my Tom 1 What shall I do? Tina ! Tom! He to be false—Tom 1 Oh, I have gone mad I No! There they are 1 They are really there—those letters ! Why do I not die? Do people live through such things as these ?" Then she knelt down on the floor and gathered up the letters and steadily read them through. There were ten of thein. Sixth love letters I No other interpretation eould be pub upon them. They were absurd love lebters—such as are always produced la a court in case of a breach of promise. And they called him "Popsy Wopsy," oe Darling Parling," "Levey Doyen!' "Own Sweetness" and "Angel of my Soul," and they were all signed " Your Own Nellie." "Ib is all true," said poor Eve, wringing her hands. "And it is worse than anything that I have ever heard of. I trusted him so, I believed in him so. My Tom—mine." Then she wiped her eyes, gathered up the hatters, wrappedthe silver paper about them, tied the blue ribbon and put them beck in the awful breast pocket of that dreadful overcoat and hung ie up in the hall again. "Tom shall never know," she said. "I'll not reproach him. I will never see him again. When he comes home I than bedead. I will nob live to bear &ie." She sat down to think over the besb means of suicide. She could hang herself Co the chandelier with a window - blind cord; but then she would be black in the face and hideous. She would drown herself; but then her body would go floating down the river into the sea, and drowned people looked even worse than serangled ones. She was too much afraid of firearms to shoot herself, even in this strait. She would take poison. Yee, that would be beefs; and, though she ehould never the Tom again, he would dee her, and remorse would sting him. Here she made a great mistake. A man who is coolly treacherous to women never has any remorse. Remorse in love affairs is a purely feminine quality, and even the worst of the sex are not without it. How. ever, it is natural to believe that remorse is possible to a man whom one has believed to be an angel in human form, and Eve took a little winnable comfort in the thought that Tom would kneel beside her coffin and burst into tears and tettesiOnate exclamations of regret, which she perhaps might Wee from, some spiritual post of observation. So having put on a hat end the* veil, Eve betook herself around the corner to the nearest dreg dere. The &told was an old German; a benevolent -looking One, with red cheeks and a smiling month, and when she asked hint for poleon for rats, he field "So 1" and beamed mildly upon her. "I want it very itrong" mead hive. "So 1" cold the drugglit. ti Bab net to give more pain than is levees' mina nor tura the feee bleak." Wad Eve. With a grave face) he compounded the powder and handed it eremett the counter. Eve took it, gave him the few °ante be waked and walked off, Once at home she went etraight to her room and undressed herself and retired to bed, taking ehe pow- der with her. Once or twice she tested it with the tip of her tongue, hoping that it was not very disagreeable. Then, finding 'Meet, she bravely swallowed it. (J is over," she said. " Oh, heaven forgive me, and forgive Tom 1" And then she laid herself down upon her pillow. Just as she did to) the familiar oiled of a latohkey in the door below startled her. Tom never came home at noon, but there he was now. No one else but Tom would walk in in that cool way, and he was calling her. "Eve—Eve—Eve—where are yon?" Never before had she refused to answer that voice. Why had he come to torture her dying moments? Hark! Now he rwoaoeb.ounding upstairs. Ho was in the m " What is the matter? Are you ill, Eve? " Ah ! You look tired, little one," said he. "1 came home to get the overcoat. I suppose you have found out by this time that the coat In the hall is not mine. I wore Johnsonet home from the office het night by mistake; he's GURICY(11 about it. He asked me if there was any one in the hem who would be likelytomeddle with papers in his pooleets. I said that I thought not. I hadn't a jealous wile! What's the matter, Eve?" " NOthing,"the said, faintly, "only tired. Oh, Toni 1" she cried, hysterically, "Oh, ee.y it again ! It was not your coat ? Oh, Tom, kise me !" "Why, what's the matter ?" cried oub Tom. "You must be MI" Then Eve remembered all. "1 am a wicked woman,Tom! There were letters in the pooketalove letters. I read thern. I thought you were false to me. I—I took potato, Tom. I'm going to die—and I long to live so. Oh, Tom, Tom, save mo!" " Yes—yes 1" he mied. "Oh, good heaven! What poison?" "Hoffman will know. I bought it from him. Perhaps he can save 1110, oiled Eve. Away went Tom, white as death, to the druggist around the corner. He burst into the shop like a whirlwind. "The lady !" he gatiped—" the lady who bought the poison here an hour ago. She took it by mistake ! Can you save her? Is' there an antidote? She is dying!" " No, no !" said the old Gorman. "Be calm? Be at rest ! No, no ! She cannot die of dat I When a lady asks me for a poison that willnot turn a rat black in the face, I say to myself, So I shmells some - sing; and I give her in de paper a little sugar and somesings. She could take a pound. Go home and tell her so. I never sells poison to women dat cry and do not wish de rat to become black in de face ! So be calm 1" So "Tom" flew home again, and "Eve" rejoiced, and, hearing that) Johnson was a bachelor who admithed himself to be en- gaged, she did nob rip off the patch as she had at first intended to do. —The Hearth. stone. A New Compass. The Lephsy compass (compas a re eres lumineux), which was experimentally fitted on board the battleship Hoche, is henoe- forward to be supplied to every battleship in the French navy. The inventor, M. Lephay, a French naval lieutenant, con- • trives, by the adoption of a combination of • lenses and mirrors, to throw from the bin - neck lamp of hie compass a vertical line of light upon the interior side of the commas box, between the card and the glass. This line, althoagh it may be produced upon any desired point of the inside of the periphery, is, for the time being, a fixed line, and bears a known relation with the line of the ship's keel. It thus marks the course of the vessel. From another combinetion of lenses and mirrors above the centre of the card there is thrown upon the interior side of the compass box a seoond ray of light, which, when the apparatus has been properly adjusted, moves as the card moves. All that the helmsmen has to do is to keep the two lines in one. The navi- gating officer sets the course by so moving the rays thee the ship being on her course, both are in one ; and thus it is nee even necessary for the helmemen to know what course he is steering. The advantages of the invention, says the London Times, are thab it greatly diminishes the strain upon the helmsman; that, owing to the rays of light having a longer radius than the radius of the card, deviations from the true course are doubly esrident and proporeionately easy to counteract); that the suppreesion of the visible light from the binnacle lamp is beneficial to the night sight for those on the bridge; and that it does away wibh all danger of the helmsman misapprehending orders, since his functions are rendered purely mechanical. The French naval com- mission oppointed to consider ib reported unanimously in favor of its adoption in all large warship& Paste This in Your Brain. We heard the other evening a famous business man, in an address to young men, lay down three propositions whioh we reoonmeend every young man who reach) this paragraph to cut out for future refer- ence : Never do any sot which you are not will- ing ehould be fully known by those whose respect you most care fora -your wife and children, for example.

Here is a Kentucky girl's picture of the ideal man who would make a good husband: "11 I wished to marry—which, of coarse, I do not—I would desire a man too noble to commie a mean act, but generotte enough to forgive one. A man as gentle as a woman, as manly as a man; one who does not talk scandal nor toll disagreeable truths.

LONDON'S "ATER FAWNS Every Woman of Taste Must:Wear a Four and a Half Yard Skirt Rats a Perfect Flower Garden—Accordion Pleating Moretti Demand Than. Ever— Stockings Interlaced With:Bebe Ribbon the Correct Thing—Jetted 1 Guipure Trint0Everything—The British Fishing (Costume—Datum as a 1Perfame. FRING fashions are now well oue, and are not likely to undergo any mportant change or, a couple of months. Of course there will be modi- fications at every moment, but they will pass almost unpereetved to all but the very experienced eye. The elaboration of dress is a sore trial to those who would like to look nice ankto f)pond litlile. Before all things it is necessary to have a great deal of material in each gown. A general andquite a modern width of that is four and a half yards round. Four and a half yards of ruching or quilling, or some kind of foot trimming, must be provided, and that outs into no very moclere.te quantity of material. The alternative of having plain velvet bands is worse, for there cannot be lees than three, and more usually there are four or five. The shoulder teepee, revere, or bodice trimmings make serious items in ex- penditure, and the eleevea are also int - portant) in swallowing up material. What- ever may be said of fashions of the moment they 01111/10b justly be reproached with being cheap and nasty. They are really pretty and graceful, very smart and full of etyle and very costly. ADAPTATION OF FASHION TO FIGURE. A certain number of people appear to think that fashions are made purposely for them to grumble at. To their hypercritical eyes the latest) fashion is always the ugliest), the mbst opposed to the laws of health', and the least oeloulteted to set off the beauties of the female form divine. These carping spirits are, be it noted, seldom young, not often pretty, and without exception never well dressed. To a women who hes testae what does fashion signify? She adapts its eccemmicities to her requirements, and out of its very grotesqueness contrives to add piquancy to her charms. Everywhere enticing and summer- like blouses are displayed, and are being sold with a rapidity little short of amazing. The handkerchief blouses, crossing over in front ficha-wise, are very popular. The cross pieces are ofben bordered with a deep frill of silk, outlined with jet. Somebimes the frill is of lace set on with a line of gold passementerie. JETTED GUIPURE FOR TR/DIMING. Guipure iet very much need for trimming gowns, thickly embroidered in gold metal or jet. The large Louis XIIL collars di- vided in tabs are composed of ib, and one of these forms a complete trimming to O corsage. A smart frook of glace foulard, shot with green and rose color, had bands of jetted guipure, starting from the poke of the blouse bodice and reaching half -way down the skirt, forming a kind of baeque. The waieb was encircled with a sash of rose-colored silk, and the sleeves, very full above, had tight cuffs 'a guipure) from elbow to wrist. A silk or satin bodice, worn with a skirt) of thin woollen material, is a pretty and it the same time an economical fashion, which will commend itself to those who cannot afford an entire dress of the more costly fabrio. A chain- ing gown made in this wise has a peltegreen skirt in fanoy cloth, trimmed with rows of jet pessementerie placed at wide intervals verb. The blouse bodice of green surah is veiled with fine black lace and secured at the waist with black satin. The sleevea are of cloth. SOFT SILKS ACCORDIONPLEATED. It is good to hear that the lovely °hone silks are coming to the front again, with their vague, Waistline), soft colorings and dreamy wraiths of flowers. Surahs and foulards are to be worn more than ever this season, some of the latter being in perfectly marvellous glades of oolor. An accordion pleated foulard had somewhere about) seven shades of green, the some number of blue, brown, yellow and Indian rad, all melting into eaoh other in such artistic gradation that its would be impossible to raterk with a needle the exact point where one tint endedandanotherbegan. Accordion pleating is more fashionable than ever, especially for flounces, bodices and sleeves. Here again, are quantities of materialneoes- tary, for the pleating absorbs miles of it where furlongs would formerly have suffioed. A WOMAN OF TASTE AND DETERMINATION. At a recent fashionable gathering there was a perfect plethora of huge Weaves, big revers pronounced collars and other caccentko modes of the moment and amid them all, the most distinguished looking woman present wore a Aire and coat with- out undue width, stiffening, or sny extrava- gance whatever. Her outlines were those that nature had dictated, with jub a little fulness of the upper sleeves and the skirt standing out a little aboub the feet The waistcoat fitted like a glove, and as the figure was beautiful and graceful, the effect of the quiet, tasteful, well -cut lady -like dresswas excellent. GLOVES AND STOCKINGS. Those have always been very important portions of well-dressed women'swardrobes. Now they will be even more important and more expensive. Gloves are to be delicate of color, the darkest kind which will be favored by mare women being shades of fawn. Silver grey and French grey will be in favor, and lavender will hold its own in popularity. There is a very light shade of Neapolitan violet which is much admired and with black points proves very becoming to the hand, and white kid gloves with black points will be much worn in eummer time on dress ocoasions. Stockings are necessarily objects of thought and care now that skirts are short) and liable to blow back. Shot silk is used to weave up into stockings for wearing with shot materials, bat the effeot ie nob Ito good as beautifully fine 'stockings delicately embroidered in color in long, slender, tapering lines up the foot to above the ankles. The colors must be, of course, to match' the drees. A delightful novelty has been introduced whereby the Came pair of stockings may, wibh the least possible troubee, be made to match almost) any gown. These stockinge are of black silk, and the open -worked fronts are woven so that bebe ribbons nsay be run in and out. Three rows up the oenere of the foot and ankle is the usual alloWancte of ribbon. .WOMAN'S Vreinanst CoSeumg. Fishing is a favorite spore With British Women, and many are new skilfully wiold- Ing the rod in bonnie Scotland. Some of the gowns wean ate nice. One was of tweed grey. The skirt was wide, quite in the fashion, and was oboe and without lining. It was boated with a broad band of weenie woollen braid in a mixture ef dark grey and red, and was oleverly made to button right up needy to the wand) to allow of rough walking in comfort. Under it knioker-bookers and very high -laced brown booed were worn. There was a waist - (Kett of grey, cool -looking linen,fleaked with red and out open to show a white shift and collar and a grey and red silk tie. The coat was loose -fronted and had many pookets, and a soft hat was worn to match. lb was of course a fine weather fishing costume and it was very neat. EVERY HAT A lLOWER GARDEN. Hard, indeed, to please must the woman be who fails to 800 something to admire in the dainty headgear vvhioh has been created this seamen to enema° her roving fancy. Artificial flowers hove never been brought to such a pitch of perfection before. Mil- liners receive their clients in a veritable paradise of flowers, eo laden are the hats and bonnet)] with these exquisite produce dons. A charming hat in fawn-oolored amour straw had two stems of the most perfectly imitated fox -gime standing up in front. The ribbons round the crown were fawn, wibh a dash of the pinkish mauve:shade peculiar to the fox glove in the border. A toque of drooping violets had two hearts- ease blossoms and wired queues of lace to give it the necessary height. All the bird protection societies notwithstanding, the decree has gone forth that these little song- sters are to be worn. A charming hat in green amour straw partially veiled with black lace, has a green lovebird alighting with outspread wings on a small mom - grown twig. The effect is charming though humanity whispers that the little bird should not be there. DATURA THE NEW PERFUME. The new soont which is all the rage is made from the Datum, or Indian thorn - apple. The odor is penetrabing, though delicate, and pommies the peculiar subtlety so essential to the success of a perfume. Soaps, eat= de toilette and sachets are alike scented with extract of Melva. Another fashionable perfume is distilled from the flowers of Lehele, a plant growing in the wilds of Africa. A noted perfumer in Lon- don prepares the most seductive sachets in whiott the aunts of vervain, mask, hello - trope and iris are cunningly blended. The result is delicious. Worth Looking Into. Oar attenbion has of late been drawn to the popular plan of the Equitable Savings, Loan & Building Association of Toronto, for the safe investment of monthly savings of frora 60 cents upwards. There is no safe investment more profitable, and iti seems the best eystem ever devised for enforocei savings. The cost of a share in the " Equitable " is $1 membership fee and 60 canes monthly dues until maturity. Maturity value of a share is $100, and esti- mated limit of maturity is aboub eight years. Monthly payments of $3 will yield $500 on maturity of shares. A saving of $8 a month will insure $1,000 in abonleight years. No meraber can hold more than 300 shares. The officers of the Equitable breve carefully studied the re- quirements of the saving, the inventing and the borrowing classes, and have determined ou a plan perfectly adapted to the demands of all. The money so 'tweeted is loaned without delay on first mortgage seouriby only, thus the safety of the inveated money is assured. The prospectus of the association will be furnished to any one applying by card or personally to the manager, Mr. Edward A. Taylor, 24 Toronbo street, Toronbo. We undersband that as yet) they have no agent in this locality. A capable, reliable man will find their work pleasant and remunera- tive. A Flirting Engineer. A year or so ago a fast train on the Cin- cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton killed J. M. Jack, near Fountaintown, and the adminis- trator of the estate brought suit) against the company for damages. The defenoe was that Jack was trespassing on the company's right of way; that the engineer blew the whistle and rang the bell, bat no attention was given to the Warnings until the tram was se close that it could not be slapped. The plaintiff introduced two young gale from Foantaintown, who teeth:led thee they were flirting wibh the engineer of the train and that he was waving his hand to them and failed to ring ,the bell or soand the whistle. A verdict of $5,000 was returned against ehe company on the ground of neg- ligence on the path of les employee.— Indianapolis NM& What She Said. Mrs. R. Peak, ease 15bh street, New York City, visited Canada last year, and had the good fortune to pick up something which not only suited her but her neighbors also. Writing the manufacturer of Nero - Hine she says —"1:bought three bottles of Nerviline while in Canada and treated my neighbors to some of it, and all think it the best medicine for internal or external pain they have over used." Nerviline deserves such a commendation, for ib is a most powerful, penetrating and certain remedy for pain of all kinds. Take no substitute. A Wrong Diagnosis.

A enunnOnt gee) That Will Bring Reath to the Little rests. There is one sure preventive of mothe, and ORO WI11011 1 havo 110VOP men mentioned, says a writer in "Good Housekeeping." it is tansy. Sprinkle the leaves freely about your woolene and fare, and the moths will never get into them. When 1 was a child my grandmother used to send me to the tansy patoh on the hill with a large basket in which to bring home plenty of tansy leaves. In the game were five large hair covered trunke, studded with brass nails, filled with her best blankets, coverlets, flannel sheets, ote. Some of them had never been used until my grendznother had grandchildren, notwithstanding she always had a large family to pro- vide beds for. But the supply of her bed- ding, linen and other household articles Was in excess of the demand. This large amount of bedding, tablecloths, towels and sheets WAS spun and woven in her father's house, and the girls were given full liberty to bake all they were willing to make up for themselves. 'That was part of their mar- riage dower. I can well remember how grandmobher took the extra supply out of those trunks in the garret once a year, hung the artioles on a clothesline down in the orohard, beat then; and then put them away again to lie amid the tansy leaves un- til another year. Tlae fourth generation of her posterity are sleeping under those same blankets and blue and white coverlets now, which, proves the efficacy of that remedy of the olden time. Pension. Fronds. Thomas Fletcher Dennis, the Washing' on pension expert, writes in the May Forum that private pension bills have recently been introduced in Congrese to benefit "soldiers, step mothers, step-fethers, foster -mothers, children over 16 yearof age ; soldiers who had deserted, women not legally married to soldiers, women who had been divorced from their soldier hus- band:: ; soldiers who had served lees than ninety days, and soldiers not disabled from any cause." Mr. Dennis also tells of oases in which the supposed widow of a missing soldier appliel for a pension, only to learn that her husband was still living and had already applied ,for peueion on has own account, from an address which was promptly furnished to her. Their Reasons. "1 am here, gentlemen," explained the pickpocket, to hie fellow prisoners, "08 the result of a moment of abstraction." "And I," said the incendiary, " because of an unfortunate habit of making light of things." "And I," chimed in the forger, "00 00 - count of a simple desire to make a mune Inc myself."
