Ou a certain night in February a numer- ous and distingushed company was gradu- ally assembling in, the Marie Antoinette room of the Hotel Metropole, Northumber- land Avenue,•the oecasion being the coming of age of a young man called Sidney Hume. But of all the people arriving or arrived there none presente4 so striking a figure as the hostess herself, 0; woman of quite un- usual stature, straight as a wand, yet not without the presencr and substantiality be- fitting her years, which lay between the fifties and sixties. Comely of feature, too, with, a complexion, almost countrified in its clear fresh tones, that accorded well with the Eillvery grey of her hair ; eyes at once frank and shrewd ; mouth good-naturedly inclined to smile, anil showing, when her lips parted, perfect teeth. For this stately dame -looking all the more stately because of her costume of bla'ek velvet and old lace, with an occasional gleam of diamonds --was not at all of an austere demeanor; nor yet was she blandly and 'passively gracious, as might fairly have beePme her height. The welceme that she extended to her guests had more than a touch pf cheerful cordiality in it; there was a quiek word here, a hum, orous glance there; She could maliciously laugh with this one, and instantly alter her face to receive the ne4-who chanced to be a bishop. Conscioue of her great personal beauty, proud of her on, pleased to have her friends come round her, she appeared to be a very happy woman in these auspicions circuit)" ances, and she took no painsito conceI the fact. A §light insistence in her speec a sort of persUasive downrightness -she lsrIay .have deriyed from her Scotch upbrii g ; otherwise she betrayed no trace ot accent as she chatted with this one and that, obviously in the highest- of high spirits. Meanwhile the youn' g man, whose four - and -twentieth birthday had- brought these people together, was also doing his part - moving about the murnmring room with a slip of names in his hainl-giving whispered directions as to who waa to take down whom to linner-furnishing letroductions where that was nepdful-and so forth. He also was tall, and of a well-huilt, slim figure ; his face clean shaven e his features of a chs- tinctly intellectual Cast; his brown hair worn rather long; his eyes grave and at- tentive; his* manner Somewhat reserved. He seemed inclined te listen respectfully rather than to talk, esPecially if the person he was addressing happened to be oldeir than himself ; he had not yet acquired that self- confidence, that assnranee of success, that knowledge of the world that gave some- thing of a conquering air to the silver -hair- ed lady who now stood pear the door, laugh- ing and taLking and welpoming each new ar- rival. But in the matter of good looks he was a worthy son of that proud dame ; did not he, too, belong te the handsome Humes ?" - . By-and-by this receptiqn-chamber-wgich was filled with a sort of niysterious twilight froin rose -shaded lamps." and candles -had mustered its complement of guests ; and then it was that Sidney Hume gave his arm to a little old lady whose rank entitled her to this precedence, and led the way, the other couples followingi due order, the hostess coining last along with the bishop a,forementioned-the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Wilchester, to Wit. Their destination was the draWing-room, had upon this particular Ovening been con- verted into a dining -room ai and here indeed was a change from the hnsheef, mysterious, rose -hued chamber they had just left. This great saloon, with its 'lofty pillars and branching palms, its whitei and gold walls and robf, was all ablazq With cluster*of electriOights ; the long tilble was a splen- dor of flowers and silver ad 'crystal ; while from behind a screen that stretched across one pertion of the apartmept came the seft- ly modulated strains of 4' stringed band. There was some slight confrision in seeking for places, but that wa4 soon over ; the music ceased ; the guests ieemained stand- ing ; and the bishop -a little pale -faced, nervous -looking man-sa4 grace. Then they all took their seats ; end the talk be- n. ga Now, most of these pckople knew each other -many of them, indeed, being near relatives ; but here and theire were one or two who had not met befilte ; and among these a couple of young folk, who had been introduced to each other irothe room above. The man was about eight-ind-twenty ; of anaemic eomplexion ; with Oft dark eyes ; Children Cry for THE HURON EXPOSITOR. and beard and mustache clipped in the French fashion; the young -lady whorehe had, brought down was a rather goothlook- ink; lass, with an abundance of fluffy blonde hair, a pleasant smile, and a pince-nez. Her companion 'made sure of her name by gime: ing at the card on the table; then he start- ed off, "Do you know many of those here to- night?" he asked.. "It is my business," answered this dam- sel, with denture eyes, "to know everybody. I am a lady journalist." - He did not seem much alarmed. "Yon don't say !" he observed, quietly. I am, in a fashion, Connected with news- papers myself -on the other side. Wash- ington:" , "Oh, Washington'?" said the yotmg lady, and then she seemed inclined to giggle - which was wrong. ." You have a great deal of society in Washington, haven't you? I suppose you might consider Washington the headquarters of American society ?" "Well, yes, I suppose it is," he respond- ed ; "especially when 'Congress is in ses- sion. There are plenty of entertainments -and all the Presidential and diplomatic dinners-" "And does Mrs. Hume understand that you write for the Washington papers ?" was the next question -put with perfect serious- ness, though there was laughter in the crea- tures gray eyes. a Hardly that," said this pretnaturely old young man with the worn face. "1 may have mentioned my paper, but I don't write for it, beyond sending a cable despatch now and again. I am part proprietor,. in fact ; that is all my connection with journalism. But you said you knew everybody; tell me then, about our hostess and her son. You see, I merely made his acquaintance in the smoking -room ; we had some talk several times ; then he introduced me to his mother and she was good enough to invite me to this dinner. And .here I tun. But all I know of her is that she is about the most extraordinarily handsome woman I ever be- held-" s "Handsome ?" repeated his neighbor. " Did you never hear of the handsonie Hays?" His look Confessed his ignorance. "Not of the three famous beauties -the three tall sisters -who came up from Teviot -side to take all London by storm? you never beard of 'the handsome Hays '-`the beauti- ful Miss Hays,' as they were caned -that all the town ran after, so that they had erowds waiting to see them go into a theatre? Of course it is all ancient history now -five -and -thirty years ago and more ; but I've had to get up the. particulars -for yes,for an astiole I am writing • and be- sides, I know Mrs. Hume very sAt this moment the band behind thewhite and gold perCen began to play "There was a 1,a, aplioaysobou hrniearritlihaytle?;" , the young lady con- tinued. She is wildly proud of her Scotch lineage : and I shouldn't be stirprieed if she had chosen nothing but Scotch airs for this evening, Shouldn't -be in the least surpris- ed-'' " But you were telling -me of the three famous beauties," her companion reminded her. " Why, this is one of them ! There she is. This one was the youngest of the three. And her two sisters were considered to have done well enough -they both married titles but it Was thought that the youngest had done better than either of them when she captured the Squire of Ellerdale-one of the greatest proprietors in the north of Eng- land. For the troth is they had come to London with nothing but their facesfor their fortune -,--and an unbounded pride of race, of eourse-an old tower on Teviot side, and a prophecy of Thomas the Rhymer all to them- selve --" "So she was one of the three-. beauties the American said, regarding his hostess with something of serious scrutiny. can well understand it." "Oh, but that, was a generation ago," ex- claimed this family chronicler with the un- bridled -flaxen hair. "We don't talk about the handsome Hays now : it is the hand- some.Humes. Five sons and four daughters -that is something of a family; and all of them remarkably good-looking; and all of them fortunately married and settled,thanks to the engineering capabilities of any ex- tremely astute mamma -all of them,I mean, except this youne.bSidney, and she'll soon get him fixed when she thinks the tune is come. Oh, she is a clever one," continued the y3ung person, whose comments on her hostess were not without a spice of malice. " They call her the most successful woman in England. She is a born manager, shSewd and capable, and doing everything with such an appearance of good humor that you would never suspect her of schemes. The most successful woman in England ? I should think so ! One after the other, son and daughter -all prosperously established; and then, instead of remaining- in possession of Ellerdale Park, asshe might have done, she must needs vacate the premises, so that her eldest son should reign undisturbed as the squire. Of course that leaves her free, too. She -can move about -Rome, Naples, Nice -wherever the society is most to her mind. At present she has a house at 'Henley-" The band began to play " Loinlon's bonnie wood i and braes." " Didn't I tell yoti ?" said this communi- cative .damsel. " We shall have Scotch airs all the evening -though the Humes of Ellerdale are an English family. But where was 1 in my information ? Oh, yes, Henley. I said Henley-" As she paused for a second, he turned and stole an enquiring glance at her. She seem- ed amused. When she next spoke it was in a lowered voice. "Don't look just,now-while I am talk- ing to- you ; but in a second or two turn your attention to the lady who is sitting on Sidney Hinne's left-" " I have already noticed her." "And not recognized her? Haven't you seen her photographs in the shop -windows, among the fashionable beauties?' And indeed it might have been assumed that the lady thus indicated Would be able to hold her own in any such collection ; for although she was not se striking in appear - as the statuesque dame at the head of the table, she was sufficiently attractive -look- ing in a younger and slighter fashion. What was visible of her figure -through these in: tervening flowers -was elegs,nt and- grace- ful ; her features were refined ; her com- plexion clear and colorless, with just a touch of make-up ; her eye -brows high and well marked ; her masses of . black hair oloosely and effectively arranged: And if there waa something about her foreheadandmouth that denoted considerable decision of character, that, on the other hand, was softened • by the expression of her eyes, which were very beautiful eyes -clear gray with dark pupils, intensified by black lashes; eyes that had an amiable and intelligent look, and were rather given, as one might suspect, to quiet and humorous Observation. For the rest, her costume was of pale blue crepe de Chine, open square at the neck, with a collar of white swan's-down ; heavy bands of gold were on her gloved arms ; but she wore no ornament around her finely modelled throat. " Who is she ?" asked the -American, in an undertone. . " What is Lady Helen Yorke," answered the flaxen -haired maiden, keeping her eyes resolutely fixed upon her plate. "And she is the only daughter -the only child -of the Earl of Honks -Hatton. Would it surprise you to hear that Lord Monks -Hatton has a seat near Henley ?" The young lady (one blushes to confess it) niggered. "1 don't quite understand-" her com- Pitcher's Castoriao panieri said. "Oh, do you think I Would inakeany suggestion?" she protested. " Certainly not I couldn't think of each a thing. But Lady Helen is a great heiress. And she has refused all sorts of offers -so they say, ; and no one knows why; perhaps she has a bit of a temper, and is rather difficult to please. At the same time she'd better look out ; she's getting on • seven -end -twenty, I should think. .And if slie were to take a fancy to one. of the 'handsome Humes? Mind, I don't say anything; only I know that the Honks-Hattons live near Henley -one of their seats • and 1 know that Mrs. Hume and Lady Helen are great friends; and 1, perceive, with myown eyes, who it is who Is sitting on Sidney Hume's left. For if he had to take down the dowager duchess be- cause of her rank, there was the other place next him; and a skilfully managing mamma. But perhaps I'm very wicked to suspect such things. And, indeed, I don't think Sidney Hume is of the marrying kind --e-from what little I've Seen of him. Oh 310, for him there's no one like his mother. You could boil down all the women in Eng- land into one, and she would be in his eyes nothing to compare with the magnificent maannia. He is just desperately proud -of her-" " And she of him ?" "Oh, I suppose so ! Those Humes have been so courted and flattered that they think all the virtues and graces and good looks in England belong to their family by rights." " Sweet Annie frac the sea -beach came," the band played behind the screen ; and perhaps it was the gentleness of the melody that interposed to soften the acerbity of this youngsrlady's remarks ; at all events she went on to speak of Sidney Hume himself in quite a friendly and kindly way. She said it was a pity he mitred himself up in his college at Oxford, Degrees, honors, fellow- ships, should be reserved for persons of un- gainly physique. Men of heroic mould should come out into the great world, to play their part. Meanwhile what of the "most successful woman in England," who was seated up there at the head of the table? Surely she must have confessed to herself that this was a very gay and brilliant scene over which she was presiding -the profusion of flowers being especially remarkable; camellias, tulips, hyacinths, primulas, cyclamens, with here and there masses cif- .maidenhair- ferri. in the tall silver dishes. Radiant light and color • a scented atmosphere ; soft music stealing in from time to time ; ani- mated talk, with little bursts of laughter ; What more could be desired ? No wonder that this gracious hostess, when she turned from contemplating the busy table to ans- wer the remarks of the -bishop who sat next her, wore a pleased and complacent air ! " My views, bishop, about Sidney ?" she said. "1 hardly know that I lia,ve any - any more than he has himself -the long, lazy boy ! Oh no !" she added, instantly correcting herself. "Not lazy -not at all ; but the fact is that acquiring knowledge seems to come so easily to hien and he is in- terested in such a multitude of things, that you would be astonished to find how much he had stored up, in that apparently idle and dawdling way of his. Just an encyclo. p dia, without taking any trouble about it ! And yet what good. is it all to. him? And even if he were to s devote himself to something special, the professions are all overstocked. There's the Indian civil ser- vice, no doebt ; that offers good prospects for a young fellow who has done as well at his university as Sidney has done -but I fear it is too late in the day-" Here she laughed. " Well, bishop, -I must tell you the truth. Soinetitnes I think that as I have given up all my other sons and daugh- ters31 should be allowed to keep my single re- maining boy to myself. And then again 12 reproach myself for such a selfish feeling, and think I would rather give him up too, if 1 could see him comfortably settled. It would only be an additional home for - me to visit occasionally ; and you know I have so many homes, with all those boys and girls mak•ied, that I never can accept half the invitations-" "You ,are a. fortunate motlier-in-law," said his lordship, with a little laugh. "And as for Sidney," continued Mrs. Hume, in her blithe way. " Who knows what may happen? Do you remember the old ballad, bishop? " Oh, father, oh. father. And ye think it flt, We'll send him a year To the col eee et ; We'll sew a green ribbon Round about his hat, And thet will let them ken He's to marry yet. • Greaterwonders than that have happened." "Ah, I perceive -I perceive," said the bishop, thoughtfully. "And when does Mr. Sidney close his university career ?" "The sooner the better, I should be in- clined to eay, if only I could get him to tear himself,a,way from his beloved college. I suppose I shall have to bribe him ,• and the bribe will have to be something Greek. I shall have to promise to help him in hunting for Greek gems, or in excavatingsome Greek - ruin, or in raising a rebellion among the Greeks of seine Turkish island. A rebel- lion -I shouldn't at all wonder if he were to devote this little fortune that now becomes his to some such mad enterprise ; and then, after all, I might have to support a beggar son in the end."' Now amid these various plans and pro- jects in connection with this young man's future that contained in the lines quoted bar Mrs. Hume must have sunk into the bishop's mind ; and eventually it paved the way for a very pretty little incident. On an occa- sion of this kind, his lordship remarked to his neighbor'formal speech -making was un- necessary and uncalled-for ; still -might not a few words,, expressing the good -wishes of the company, be permitted ? Mrs. Hume smiled most grateful thanks ; it had been her own secret desire that the bishop should perform this kindly office, though she had not ventured to say so. Then, as there chanced to be a lull in the traffic of the ser- vants, the bishop got up. There was in- stant silence. Naturally and inevitably he began by saying that he would not make a speech ; and forthwith proceeded to make it. It was a clever and incisive little or- ation, whether, it was unpremeditated sir not; there was only one Latin phrase in it -about the obligation of maintaining the dignity of an ancient name; and there were some ingenious references to the hapPy fortune of one who had in his turn inherited certain qualities of character and perste,' that had rendered his tamily distinguished through more than one generation. Finally, said the good bishop, though he would not touch upon the legal conditions that had constituted this second coming of age,never- theless Mr. Sidney (as he might be allowed to call him, having known so many older members of the family) had now to be com- plimented on having fully Succeededto man's estate ; and they might be pardoned if they looked forward to yet ' another im- portant occasion. That occasion would arise when their young friend should pre- sent to them his chosen helpmeet and life companion ; and she (he was sure) would receive from all Of them the same welcome and the same earnest, geod wishes for all blessings, temporal and ieternal, which they Were now heartily tendering to himself. Quite an :excellent little speech ; and when the bishop had finished, the men rose and raised their glasses ; dkere were murmur- ed cries of " Sidney ! Sidney !" " Hume ! Hume ! Good -luck to you !" and the like. It may have been a mere coincidence, or it tay have been one of the artful wiles of the founder of the feast, but at this mo - Children Cry for "We alway5 fry ours ir) Cottoierye • Our Meat, Fish, Oysters,Sara- toga Chips, Eggs, Doughnuts, - Vegetables, etc. Like most other people, our folks formerly used lard for all such purposes.

We further found that, unlike lard, Cottolene had no unpleasant odor when cooking, and lastly Mother's fa- vorite and conservative cooking authority came out and gave it a big recommendation which clinched the matter.

It was an awkward position; but he bore himself modestly, and that bespoke favor. His words, indeed, werelew-thanks for their presence and their good wishes,and so forth; but it was thus he wound up : "His lordship has been good enough to hint of another occasion when I might- be able to present to you a helpmeet and com- panion-ct sweetheart, I supposes But, ladies and gentlemen, I have already chosen my sweetheart. And I dare say everyone thinks that hia sweetheart is the incom- parable one of all the world -in beauty and kindness and accomplishments and tried affection. At least, that is my case-" "Goodness me !" said the flaxen -haired young lady to her Am_ erican acquaintance. "18 he going to announce his engagement ?" " That is my case," young Hume contin- ued. "And I cannot do better, ladies and gentlemen, than ask you to be so very kind' as to drink her health." He raised his glass -and bowed low to his mother. It was simply and naturally and gracefully clone; and it was a great success -much clapping of hands ensuing ; while- as for Mrs. Hume, though she ex- claimed, " The rascal !" she was immense- ly delighted ; she blushed and laughed like a school girl -at sight of those upraised glasses ; and demanded 'of the bishop what should be done to a boy that thus made a fool of his old mother. "Bravo, Sidney !" cried a brother-in- law, who had the look of an M. F. H. about him. " If yon stielento them sentiment, you'll save yourself a heap of trouble in this worla." And the nervous little bishoplaughed and applauded too, and was quite proud of his share in the impromptu performance ; he said if be had known beforehand he could not more conclusively have elicited an opin- ion which did so much honor to both mother and son. And in due course of time the, long and merry evening came to an end; and when the guests, in various groups, had bidden good-bye to their hostess and were proceed- ing to take their departure, Sidney Hume went along to the outer hall to see them off. Thither also, as soon as the room WaE. fin- ally cleared, wandered Mrs. Hume and Lady Helen, the former with her hand placed affectionately within the arm of the latter ; and there these two remained as speotators, watching the carriages come up and drive away. Accordingly, when the young man had fulfilled his duty and was returning through the hall, he found the two ladies awaiting him. (To be Continued.) AN IMPORTANT INCIDENT AT A COUNTRY AUCTION ' SALE. Quite recently a country store stock waa sold off by auction in lots to suit purchasers. The sale, which had been well adyertised by circulars distributed throughout the country, drew a large crowd of sturdy farmers and their good. wives; the bidding was fast and spirited, and good prices were realized for all useful and staple goods. Amongst the vast variety of articles put up for sale were two lots of package dyes for household dyeing. The auctioneer an- nounced that he would first dispose of the "Diamond Dyes," goods that every farmer and farmer's wife knew well and favorably. The women, being most interested in these goods, did the bidding, and in ten minutes' time, some six gross . of the "Diamond Dyes" were sold to anxious buyers. The other dyes were then brought for- ward, and introduced by some oriental ii name. Said the auctioneer : "I give you the na, e of these dyes, but I know little about heir manufacture or qualities; come, give me a bid, any price." There was no response -not a bid to en- courage the auctioneer's heart. Seeing that time was being lost, and anxious to get rid of these dyes at any price, the auctioneer, in a joking way, said: "You surely want your garden fences and barns painted • if these dyes are not good enough to color your dresses. shawls, jackets, coats, silks and ribbons, they will surely do for common wood painting." The idea was a novel. one -it was a reve- lation -and seenied to ineet with the favor of a few, and for a small price, the entire stock of worthless dyes designated.by a high sounding name, was sold to one farm- er, who was heartily laughed at. There is a more important moral to be de- duced from the results of the auction sale just referred to. The moral taught is, that poor and worthless dyes, wherever sold, are dear at any price-- even when used for com- mon fence painting. The "Diamond Dyes" are well known, popular and always reliable; they sell ev- erywhere and under all circumstances, and give wonderful results in restoring to beauty and usefulness old and faded articles of wearing apparel. "Diamond Dyes" save many dollars each year in every farmer's home. -" Why, Johnny! Why are you beating your poor little brother like that ?" "Well, he deserves it !" "Deserves it ! What do you mean ?" "Well, he promised to say. my prayers for me for a week if I lent him my pea -shooter, and I've just found out that he missed three days !" Pitcher's Castoria.
