Ile may even charge me with dealing dishonorably with him; Ito will certainly be exasperated at losing his thousands, and sue me.' He got up, and began walking to and fro near his wife, passing and repassing her. "He has been very easy and kind, and- has even it strange, unaccountable liking for his worthless client.

"I know it," he whispered, brokenly - "my worshipped wife, I know it!"

Lenten marriages are now frequent. Thies year several well known oouples have been married in Lent, and 1900 SAW the splehidid bridal of Lord and Lady Douro during tiee sacred season. As a nation we seem to have oun grown the belief that a wedding whicle took plane during the forty days would bring in ita train, ill hick or misfortune, and there is a royal precedent in favor of this date, as the marriage of their Majesties the King and Queen was celebrated in the Lenten. weeks of 1803. "There was no Lent when I was young," is a remark said to have been made by the lute Queen Victoria when a cer- tain Bishop issued a slight protest against some proposed fixture during the penitential period; and facts prove that, the rigid observance of Lent dates from the later years of the last century.-Frdm the Gentlewoman. sena for free Sample to Dept.
