The meet tibad been called to order when t ;'arrived, and Mrs Lavinia Hop ;'Walker was beginning her esay '`The Weaker Sex," which she pr �.ed to their satisfaction to be ;male. "Who behaves the Iarost cal in times of emergency?" asked $upper -Walker, "the woman or man? I need hardly say it is Woman.

In the mea dine Archie found the president the club, Mrs Merrie-May, wh gave him a programme of the eve lug's exercises, and a printed sync Bits of the different speeches. Whil was attending to his duties Rush was looking about the room the strange people ranged along slip wall. A gentleman with a ver rzigh forehead and a blonde bear ;dist grew in irregular spots about •bla face wherever it would pierce r*Vele surface tapped him upon th tiIiOulder after a while, and said : r'I saw you at the office of The Diiwn the other day, so I presume von are a tapqrtei ai! would like a3ome points for as ;ogee for your paper—the liaoaes of the dleti.Rguliih- ed people here this evening etu.". And before Reale �aould say that he was not there as a representative of his paper, the man ran his fingers through his straggling looks and, drawing himself up to his full 6 feet 4i inches, said, "The lady reading the address is Lavinia Hopper - Walker," adding, in the post im- pressive whisper "my wife! I am Tobias T. Hopper - Walker. T. stands for Tartar. My mother was a Tartar." Rush thought that his wife was a Tartar also, but he didn't say so. "Mrs Lavinia Hopper -Walker is round to `'a most remarkable woman, sir. She er—lab- can take the floor against any man, equality and abut him up before be knows 'If where be is." o alone, Rush looked at Mrs Hopper - Walker, who at this moment was making one of her most cutting re- place in marks at the expense of man. Her ro re eyes were fixed upon her husband, to and the expression of superiority us chap- , hap- that passed over her face was a - r and a study for a tragedian. The expres he name sion on his face would better have over the served the comedian, it was so self Archie took deprecatory and showed such satin• "Here faction in being the weaker vessel. d boy; "This is a most representative struck gathering," he whispered. "There Lets is Mrs Ann Amelir de Johnstone, president of the "Women Who tried Dare Society." It meets every week at her house in Williamsburg, Archie. where it enjoyes a most intellectual this evening." I'm Rush looked in the direction in - rhyme dicated by Mr Hopper -Walker's in the long forefinger and saw a woman with a high forehead decorated with of his thin, tight curls. Her eyes were at his large, and their prominence was ex- aggerated by the powerful glasses sheets she wore on her very retrousse nose soft Indeed, her nose turned up with so while touch determination that it carried h the her upper lip with it, exposing her lines: two large front tenth to the public sunrise gaze. "Mrs De JoLnstone is very clev- er, continued Hopper-Walker.— ing "She writes for the magazines and pamphlets by the score. I suppose you have read her book on the form neth of marriage proposals among the ancient Egyptians? She holds that Damascene women proposed in those days, and advocates the olden custom. Mrs Hopper -Walker has written an ter if answer to this,. in which she proves cusp. that the custom is even older than Mrs De Johnstone claims, and that Ah I that lady's theories have even been unci in practice in this country for years. tit's It is a good custom for some women.

He cast a furtive glance in the direction of Mrs Hopper - point Walker, who was just taking her t the seat amidst the most enthusiastic pro_ applause. im- At this moment Archie put his here arm through Rush's, and said it was for time for them to be off. Rush poke thanked Mr Hopper -Walker, and Bart. the two young men went down said stairs to the safe and seated them - „I selves at a small table. While they you drank a jug of German seltzer ep_ Archie wrote out his report of the at of Sappho and sent it down to the hold Trumpet office. en's "There's nothing pleases them IT like getting copy in early, dear boy.

As I told you and before, that won't delay me long. for Cousin Bess will take Dare of you has while I am interviewing McMulli- his gan on the cost of his entertain— my ment." e to From Delmonico's they strolled up town as far as Twentieth street, no's where they turned off to the home here of the Archer's, on Gramercy park. ha The moon was shining brightly up- ing on the exclusive little park, and hey upon the ladies in their handsome Hoppe wraps who where running up the on Archer's front steps and disappear- ing in a blaze of gas light through the the- doot. This was to be Rush's introduction to New York society— mly a thing he had heard a good deae Mrs about and regarded with more or the less awe. He was just at an age the when society is most attractive. ere He was very susceptible to beauty a and he considered Helen Knowlton e the most beautiful woman he had iL ebe4 seen. And so she certainly n was, for she was the only beauty he g had seen who was not of a more or he less rustic type, and, notwithstand- i11 ing his country bringing up, be had le little taste for rusticity in women. er This first appearance in the social by world was a great excitement to him, he and he was very much afraid that of lie would do something in violation If of the proprieties. So he determin- e ed to do as his friend Tillinghas did; it and he could not have had a better guide in such matters. To Archie t he said nothing about his embarras- .fsment, and there was nothing in his m manner to lead his friend to suspect n it. The two young men, s t dies of had done before them, ran Iightly o up the steps and entered the hall, where Rush almost had his breath n taken away by the dazzling light le and the .perfume of flowers. He followed Archie up stairs, where they left their topcoats; and, taking a parting glance at himself in the mirror to see that his tie had not dridden up over his collar, and that his hair was not too much rumpled, be descended with Archie to the drawing room. Here a gorgeous scene presented itself. The long Children Cry far • (`woo dials. Rook had, over seen together in his life. The la. dies were dressed i' .their finest ,Paris gowue; but it Was not so mob the dressing, as the want of it, that astonished our young young couri- tryman--the older the ladies were, the less they seemed to fear the cold. Archie presented him at once to his uncle and aunt, and to his cou- sin Bessie, for whom Rush immedi- ately conceived the friendliest feel- ings. Bessie Archer certainly was an attractive girl. She was hand- some and well -made, and she looked like a girl who enjoyed good health. Her complexion was brilliant,. her teeth dazzling and her clear, gray iblue eyes looked as strong as an eagle's. Although she was an ex- ceptionally clever girl, she was not a bit of a prig, and her manner was remarkable for its cordiality. When she took Rush by the hand she gave Mw such a firni, pleasant grip that he said to himself, "Here is aagirl worth knowing; she shakes hands like a man; none of your flimsy, lackadaisical touching of the fingers, such as some girls give." And Bessie liked Rush at once. She had heard such pleasant things about him from Archie that she was naturally prejudiced in his favor; and it was impossible to look in his honest, manly face and not like him. "Now Hurlstone, old fellow," said Archie, after introduc- ing his friend to his cousin, "I will leave you to Cousin Bees' tender care and go where duty calls. "I'm sure you could not leave me where I would rather be," said Rush, as glibly as though he had been "in society" all his life. "Perhaps you will have a differ- ent tale to tell when Archie comes back," said Cousin Bess. "I shall only speak more positive- ly then," replied Rueh, with a bow that Count d'Orsay might have envied. W At that moment the band, sta- o tioned in another room, struck up a the music of a waltz, and there was in a general movement of pleasant an- R ticipation among the young people. it Their elders drew up along the wall, a and the dancers took their places ca on the floor. ch "Do you dance, Mr Hurlstone?" A asked Miss Archer. "If you do, I go will give you this waltz. I was th saving it for lrchie; but the poor a fellow has not finished his day's w work yet." H "No Miss Archer," replied Rush, to "I do not dance. I have heretofore m looked upon a dancing man with a oh feeling of superiority, bnt now I re- an gard him with envy, and for the fro first time regret that the steps of do the watlz are a sealed book to me." 11 "1 aur very sorry, too, for I am yo afraid you are going to have a dull da time, as this is a dancing company th to -night. However, I will try and th find a young lady whose conver- pro sation will in a measure alleviate pos your disappointment. Will you take set something intellectual or something of frivoloes?" As Miss Archer asked gon this question, her eyes turned to- tea wards two ladies standing on the he oppoaite side of the room. Bu Rush's eyes followed hers, and he His answered, "Something frivolous, please." ting So they threaded their way or f among the dancers, and he was iu- the troduced to Miss Gertie Gaston. tene "How is it you are not dancing of h this evening, Miss Gaston" Rush prob inquired, for he felt quite sure that glan she was one of the dancing girls. nizi "Do you want to know?" .-to t ani consumed with curiosity." bow "Because I hate a plain waltz, man and none of these men know the forg "dip!" she answered, with a show of bow annoyance. to c " What ignorance! 7 fancied room New York men knew everything. slow To think of it! grown men, and not "I know the 'dip'!" him "You know it?" said Miss Gaston, Hail half rising. wrot "Alas, no?" replied Rush; "but The then I am not a New York society Ru man." this "Whore are you from --Boston or vocat Philadelphia?" callin "Neither; I came direct from the mann country—from the abode of the aecei milk pja,il and sausage." aunt' "Really! and you work on a farm?

Rush wished from the bottom of his heart that the dancing would etop,and that he might have a chance to talk a little with Miss .Archer, who was quite as bright, be saw, as her cousin had represented her to be. The thought had hardly passed through his mind when the music oeased and the dancers stroll- ed offin pairs. A young man dress- ed in the extreme of the fashion re- lieved him of Miss Gaston, and he stood for a moment leaning againt the wall, wondering where Miss Archer was, whensuddenly his heart gave such an upward lunge that he thought for a few seconds he would suffocate. But it soon fell back to its natural place and left him at liberty to feast his eyes upon the radiant face of Helen Knowlton, as she entered the room acoompained by her aunt and an old gentleman whom he had no difficulty in re- cognizing as Uncle Lightfoot Myers. A subdued 'Murmur of admiration ran through the room as the prima donna stood for a moment on the threshold, looking about her for the host and hostess. In a moment West Hastings was by her side and conducting her on his arm to Mr Mrs Archer, while Aunt Rebecca followed on the arm of Uncle Light- foot. Rush ground his teeth at the assured manner in which Hastings took his place at Mies Knowlton's side. Then be tried to laugh at himself for being such a fool. "Of course they are engaged, or the next thing to it, and I am making my- self miserable as foolishly as a man ever did." He got some confort, however, from two men who stood chatting near by him. "Is Helen Knowlton engage est Hastings?" asked one of they. "No," was the reply; he never will be engaged to H gs or any other man while ' A ebecca' lives. She may come fifty times, hut I'll wager nything you like that Aunt Re Sandford is not going to let ild' put her head into the no n l she's about right.

Then he inwardly railed at a custom that allowed such liberties. Because the band was playing and their feet were moving in time to the music, was that any reason why Hastings should have his arm around Mies Knowlton's waist and hold her hand in his? He could not see that it was. Dancing was a vulgar and vicious pastime, and be would never allow a sister of bis to take partsiu, any such wickedness. TO BE CONTINUED.
