'FRE HURON EXPOSITOR A SOCIAL SUCCESS. PART III. Mr. Cornell's unspoken suspicion that Mrs. Hitt would drop a school friend as suddenly as she had picked her up was in a way to be falsified, if the events . of the. next few months were to be taken as testimony. The two matrons were nearly inseparable -shopping, driving, walking and ,visiting together. For Susie had a New York visit- ing list speedily, and almost every name stood for au introduction by her indefati- gable "trainer." The epithet was the taci- turn husband's, and, as may be surmised, was never uttered audibly. 5paie's ward- robe, furniture, table -her very modes of spee0h-3ustained varatione that amazed old friends and confounded him who, knew her best. The cherished black velvet she had thought " handsome enough for any oc- casion" was pronounced "quaintly becom- ing, but too old for the wearer by twenty- five years." Slashed and dashed and lashed with gold color, it did duty as a house even- ing gown. For small luncheons she had a tailor made costume of fawn colored cloth embroidered and combined with silk ; for "swell" luncheons, a rich silk -black ground relieved by narrow _crimson stripes, and made en demi-train. For at-home afternoons were two tea - gowns; before she received her second din- ner invitation, she had made by Mrs. Hitt's dressmaker-(" a French woman who doesn't know enough yet to charge American prices, my dear, aid I hold it to be a sin to throw money away !") a robe of white brocade and sea -green velvet, in which garb she showed like a moss rose bud, according to her dear friend and trumpeter. These strides into the realm of fashion, if at first startling to the debutante, were quickly ackowledged to be imperatively nee- essary if one would really live. Kitty's taste in dress approximated genius. Even she was hardly prepared for the ready fol- lowing of her neophyte. Had she needed corroborative evidence of the cashier's liberal income, his wife's com- mand of considerable sums supplied it. With all her frankness, Mrs. Cornell did not confide to her bosom friend where she ob- tained the ready money that gained her credit with new trades people. Now and then an uneasy qualm stiried the would-be comfortable soul of the wife as to -how much or how little Arthur speculated within his sober soul upon the probable cost of her new outfit. There were two thousand dollars deposited in her name, and drawing interest in a Brooklyn savings bank. The rich aunt had given her name -child three- quarters of it from time to time. The young couple had saved the rest, and it was tacitly understood that it should not be touched except of necessity. No landmark in her new career was moile pronounced than Susie's resort to this fund l for the equipment without which her dawning social success would, she felt, lapse into obscurity more ignominious than that from which she had emerged. She must have the things represented by the money, and intoxicated though she was, she had still too much sense and consience to deplete her huti- band's purse to the extent demanded by the exigency. He would have opened an artery to gratify her, had heart's blood been coin, but she knew he would look grave and pained did he suspect her visits to the bank and their result, He was sober enough, nowadays, without additional cause of discomfort, When questioned, he averred that all was going right at the bank, and that he was well. Nor would he confess to loneliness on the evenings when she was obliged to leave him in obedience to Kitty's summons to rehearsal or consultation in some of the countless schemes of amusement the two were. all the while concocting. "Don't trouble yourself to come for me or to sit up for me, dear," the pleasure monger would entreat in bidding him "good. by." "I'll have one of the maids call for or " I have a carriage," or -and after a time this -was most frequent of all -"Jack Ifitt-is always very obligitrg about bringing me home." • With a smile upon his lips and gravity she did not read in his eyes, he would hand her to the carriage, or commit her to the spruce maid, hoping that she would he.ye a pleasant evening, and having stood upon the steps until she was no longer in sight, would go back -as she supposed -to sitting room or book. Whereas, it grew to be more and more a habit with him to turn into the nurs- ery instead, and sit there in the dark until he heard the bustle of her return below stairs. He invariably sat up for her -she never asked why or where. The fire burned cheerily to welcome her, and the offices of maid, aseumed, in the beginning in loverly supererogation, half jest, half caress, were "I You 1,-. n ovf a 11 about it.

If she went to bed late, she must sleep late next morning. This was a inaher of health, a oonceasion she owed thine to whom her health was all import- ant. The two older children had breakfasted with their parents for a year, and he made much of their company when their mother was not the fourth of the party. Sometimes he sent for the baby as well, holding her on his lune with one band, while the other managed coffee cup and toast. -Susie surprieed him thus one mnrn,ing, having awakened unsummoned, and dressed hastily that she might see him before he went out. "Arthur Cornell !" The ejaculation was the &et intimation he had of her presence. "Von spoil the children and makes, elave of youreelf ! Where is their nurse ?" "Don't blame Ellen, dear !" checking her motion toward the bell. "1 sent for the children. They are very good, and I enjoy - the i r company." Mrs. Cornell flushed hotly ; her lips were compressed. "1 understand ! Aftor this. I will make_ a point of giving you your breakfast. It was nevermy wish to lie in bed until this hour." "It; wan -and is mine !" rejoined her hue - band, steadily, unmoved by her unwonted petulanc.. "As it is, you are pale and heavy -eyed. You have had but five hours of sleep." "My head anhee !" ilesing her hand over her forehead. "That will go off, by-and-by. Baby! come to mamma, and let dear papa get his breakfast in peahe. Let me pour out a cup of hot coffee for fou first." Her softened, tone and fond smile cleared the atmosphere for them all. Arthur sun- ued himself in her presence as a half torpid bird on an early spring day. The ehildren prattled merrily in answer to the pretty mother's blandishments; the baby stood up in her lap to make her fat arms meet behind her neck. She looked pleadingly into -the proud face bent over mother and child. He was startled to eee that, the sweet eyes were misty. "tear ! can't you go with me to -night ?" He fairly eteggered at the unexpected ap- peal. "If I had known "he began. "Yes, I know ! I ought to have spoken before you made your engagement. I was careless -forgetful -silly ! I donothing but silly things nowadays, But I wish you could go, darling !" " I'm afraid it's impossible," said Arthur, regretfully. " The president made a point of my attending the meeting. I am sorrier tharhyou can be little wife." Sho shook her head and tried to laugh. "That shows how little you know about it 1 Don't make any more engagements without, consulting me. Pm ower young' -not ' to lenve my mammy yet' -but to be running about the world without my dear, old, steady-goidg husband -and I'm not willing to do it any longer." He cerried the memory of words and glance with him all day. Coming home at evening, henfound a note from her, stating that Kitty had sent for her. "There hi a dress' rehearsal at seven," she wrote: "1 wish you could be there and see how ravaehing I can be ! If your business meeting is bver by ten o'clock, won't, you slip into society toggery and come around in season to see the old lady' home ?" "The fever has run its course 1" thought the husband, with kindling eyes. "1 knew I should get her back some day." • His dinner was less carefully served than in the olden supper days, but he dined as with the gods, and ran briskly upstairs to send Ellen down to her meal, while he un- dreseed the children and putsthem to bed. He had done this often dining the winter, pretending to make a joke of the disrobing, but knowing it to be duty and vicarious. According to his ideas the mother should see to it in person, No hireling, whose own the bairns are not, can care for them as those in whose veins -runs anewering kindred blood. Usually, the task was done in heaviness of spirit. To -night, no effort was required to bring laughter to his lips, lightnees to his heart. To -morrow mamma would breakfaet with them, and resume her place in the home, so poorly tilled by him or anybody else. She had come back to them. He tried to sing one of her lullabies as he rocked ithe baby to sleep, but failed by reason of a "catch in his throat." -Mamma would warble it like a nightingale to them to- morrow night. The business meeting was unexpectedly brief-" Thanks,' as the president, was pleased to say," to the admirable epitome of the matter in hand prepared and present- ed by Mr. Cornell." At ten o'clock the husband was in his dressing room, -hurrying the process of "slip- ping into society toggery." He repeated the phrase aloud while tying his cravat with fingers uncertain from nervous haste. He was thankful beyond expression that he had never cast' the shadow of his clieaaproval over Susie's spirits, even when they threat- ened to carry her out of the bounds of rea- son. She was young and pretty ; so affluent of vitality, so richly endowed with talents, that a humdrum fellow like himself could not comprehend the stress of the temptation to plunge into and riot in the mad vortex of social parade. "If there were any one thing I could do as cleverly as she does everything, I should be doing it all the time," he confessed in contrite candor. Yeeterday he had thanked Heaven that Lent was close upon the panting racers ove the pleasure grounds. Now, he was Inch - fereut to the advance and duration of the - penitential season. Hiedarling had re- turned of her own right -headed right - hearted self to the eanctury of home, having detected, unaided by his pessimistic stric- tures, the miserable vanith and carking vexation of the hollow system. He sewed two buttons upon his shirt before he could put it on, and when he pushed the needle through a hole and the linen beneath into ball of his thumb, he began to whistle "An- nie Laurie." Susie had prcticed " Annie Laorie " for an hour before dinner yesterday. He won- dered if she had sung it last night at, the Ilitad. She had been overrun.with businelis of late, getting ready for the chamber con - sorb and private theatricals, and mercy knew what else of frolic and folly gotten up by Mre. Hite for the benefit of the "Indus- trial Homo" which was the latest oharit- able fad in her eat. He had paid ten dol - d' har. tars for a reserved seat last week at the be- hest of the volatile Lady 'Patroness. lled let him have it " at a bargain becaShe use Ie had the good luck to be Susie's hus- band fifty apiece for theirs, and I made Jack give me thirty for his.

Of course, the rush for them is fearful 1" Before going Arthur peeped into the nur- eery, dropping the most cautious of kisses into a tempting knot as ho touched her velvety face. ' upon the cheek and forehead of each deep- er. Three-yearold Sue made up her lips " Des' mamma 1" she murniured in her sleep.g, Need her again 'for that, the catch inh Vansittart and Mr. Peltry paid don't wonder they love,her 1" he said, brokenly. " Who could help it ?" The,blocl on which the .Hitt mansion stood was lined with waiting carriages, and Mr. Cornell supposed that the entertainment Which he called to hirruselt "a, sleow," must be nearly over. For an instant,' he medi• toned waiting without until the crowd be- gan to pour out, then, making his way into the hall, to send word to his wife that he awaited her pleasure. Something in the immobility of the doors changed his plan. He did not care to lurk for an hour or more among the coachmen who stamped and swore upon the pavement, reminding him of some verses Susie had read to him in other days when she had time for books and the talk over them after they were read. He recalled the first and last verses, and smiled in going through- the discontented ranks and up the flight of stone steps : "My coachman in the moonlight there Looks thiough the side light of the dcor; I hear bin, with his brethren swear, As I could do -but only more. Oh, could he have my shire of din, And I his quiet l --past a doubt, 'Twould btill be one man bored within, And Jed another bored without." A surge of hot and scented air enveloped him with the opening of the door. The crowd in: the hall contradicted the hostess' declaration that no more people would be admitted than oould be comfort- ably accommodated, Struggling up to the dressing -room he got rid of hat and over - erten and struggled deem again to the door of the rear drawing room. A . curtain was wrung up from a stage at the end of the apartment as he gained a view of it. The scene was the interior of an old fash- ioned barn. Wreaths of evergreens hung against the walls and depended from the rafters, and the floor was cleared for danc- ing, „From a door at the side a figure trip- ped into the middle of- the stage. Arthur looked twice before he recognized the wear- er of the colonial gown of old -gold brocade, brief of waist, and ,allowing beneath the skirt glimpses of trim ankles in clocked stockings. Her hair was piled over a cush- ion and powdered; eyebrows and lashes were deftly darkened, and the carmine of cheek and mouth owed brilliancy to rouge. pot and hare's foot. She was the belle of the ball to be held in the barn, and while waiting for the rest of the revelers, she be - began to recite, in soliloquy, the old rhymes of "Money Musk." At the second line, from an uaseen orches- tra, issued low and..faint, like the echo of a spent strain, the popular dance tune. It stole so insidiously upon the air as to Bug - gest the musical thought of the soliloquist, and was rather a background than an ac• oompa,niment to the recitative. Gradually, as the story went on, the lithe figure bean to sway in perfect time -to the phantom mimic; the eyes, smilingly eager, seemed to loolcupon What the lips decribed ; the feet stirred and twinkled rhythmically form and face were embodied melody. Vivified by reverie, expectant and reminiscent, the radiant impersonation of the poet's picture floated airly through the 'enchanting/meas- ures. As a morning paper put it, she seemed to respire the music to which she swayed and chanted." The audience, "though blase with much merry -making and sight-seeing,' hung en- tranced upon every motion, until, wafted by gentle degrees towards the side scene, op- posite to that by which she had entered, she vanished on the last word of the poem." . Recalled by a tumult of applause, she courtesied in colonial fashion, and kiesed her hand brightly to her admirers, but in- stead of vouchsafing a repetition of what had stirred the epectators out of their nil admirari mood, beckoned archly to the left and right. A troop of young men and girls obeyed the summons and fell into place in the country dance that went for- ward to the now ringing measures of "Mon- ey Musk." The commedietta to which this was the prelude had been composed by a well know author, who was called out at the close of the second act, and led forward the prima donna of this clever piece. _, The interlude showed a moonlighted dell. On the distant hilltop was the gleam of white tents ; in the foreground stood a wo- man as colorless in robe and visage as the moonbeams. Her voice, silvery and plain- FaiMrt--• Lumbago is Rlieuma sm of the back. The cause. is Uric Acid nettle blood.

Again the invisable orchestra bore up the uttered words ; at &et a single cornet bringing down the air from the tented hill- top ; then deeper notes ioined it, like amids voices of varying tone and strength, but alt singlet; "Annie .Laurie." "Something upon the woman's ()flecks Washed off the stains of powder," said dissonant, derisive tones at Arthur Corn -ill's back, as the curtain fell. " Bat. tered veterans of a dozen seasons are snivel- ling like ingenues of no season at all. What fools New Yorkers are to be humbugged with their eyes open 1" ' "The fair manager hath a way of whist- ling the tin out ot our pockets," replied a thin falsetto. " A wonderful creature, that same manager." A disagreeable, wheezing laugh finished theAsrptheeucrmh. ade an ineffectual effort to extri- cate himself from the packing crowd, a movement unnoticed or uncared-for by the speakers. "1 admire -and despise -that woman 1" continued the hard' voice. "As an exhibi- tion of colossal cheek she is unrivaled.For four years she has preyed upon the majority that is up to her littledodge ' and the minority that is not, pocketing:her half of the profits of every charitable show ; bor- rowing from innocents that don't know that she pays not again, and actually -so I am told -receiving a commission for introducing wild Westerners and provincial Easterners into what she calls our best circles.' And we go on buying her tickets and accepting her specimens, like the arrant &sees we are. "Madame du Bois, upon a limited scale." " Earictly ! Madame is her model. Her apeing is more like monkeying, but the re- semblenoe is not lost, New Yorkers rather enjoy the sumblime audacity of Madame's fleecing, and she does have the entree of uppertendom, sham though she is, with her drawing -room readings, where geniuses are trotted out at big prices to ticket buyers, and no price at all to Madame, and ranch - men's daughters are provided with blae- blooded Knickerbocker husbands. Her schemes are on a large cale. She engineers benevolent pow -wows, clears her one thous- and dollars a night, and nobody dare charge her with pocketing a penny. You can see where Kit learned her trade. To my ,cer- tain knowledge she dresse. herself and pays for all her hospitable entertainments by these tricks." " Her latest investment isn't a bad notion, but Kit is working the scheme for all its worth. .Anybody but the newest of the new would se through the game." The other laughed gratingly. " New " is a mild way of putting it. We call her Kit's windfall' at our Club. Mad- ame's disciple had, as she fondly imagined, netted a couple of veritable musical lions, and ten people were invited to hear their after-dinner roar. The very day before the feast the male lion fell sick, and the lioness couldn't or wouldn't leave her mate. Kitty was tearing her false bang over the note ap- prisingher of the disaster when a card was brought in, telling her that an old school- mate who had been , educated as a music teacher, and had a niceish talent for recita- tion, had removed to the city. Kit caught at the straw; raced around to inspect her, judged her to be more than eligible, and roped her in. Delorme was at the dinner and told me the story, which his wife had from Kit's own lips. The new 'find' had beauty as well as a voice and a taste for theatrical, and a neat income, so Kit says -some thirty -thousand a year. Moreover, she is tremen- dously grateful for the lift in the world, and _flo daft with enjoyment of her first glimpse of le bon ton that she would send Kit tea out of the thirty thousand sooner than lose her soda' standing. She doesn't guess that she will be tossed aside like a squeezed orange next year, poor thing 1" - Arthur leaned against the doorframe, too giddy - and sick to move, had action been practicable in such a press. One of the tedious" waits" inseparable from amateur performances gave every woman there a chance to outscream her neighbor. It might be dishonorable not to make himself known to the gossips who considered themselves ab- solved by the payment of an entrance fee from the obligation to speak well, or not at all, of their hosts. He did not put the ques- tion to himself whether or not he ehould continue to listen. In a judicial mood he would have weighed the pros and cens of facts or fiction in the tale he had heard. Every word had, to his conseiousnese, the stamp of authenticity. In the shock of the confirmation of his worst misgivings with regard to his wife's chosen intimate, his rut - ling thought WWI the anguish the truth would cause her. How best to lessen the .shock to her tender, loving heart, how co mitigate her mortification, began already to put his deliberate faculties upon the strain.

I met him at the Club last night, and saw that he had about six champagnes and four cocktedls more than his brain could balance.

"Are you cruel or coquettish, sweet Annie Laurie ?" he asked, in accents thick- ened by liquor and laughter. By the electrie light Arthur saw the pale terror of her face, as she tried to wreet her fingers from the ruffianly grasp.
