BALLROOMS OF MILLIONAIRES.
Fortunes Spent to Fit Palaces of the
Rich for Big Functions..
Twenty years ago a ballroom in a
private house was a rarity; to -day
there are over a hundred houses in
New York so equipped. The restclen.cesr of the Marshall Robertses, the
•Behnonts, the Spencers, the Scher-
raerhorns, the Auchmytys and those
about Washington and Madison
Squares had ballrooms, but they total-
ed:loss, says Gertrude Lynch in the
New Broadway Magazine, than a doz-
en, and were really picture galler-
ies. The modern houses of the up-
per Fifth avenue Set are nearly all
'equipped with ballrooms which are
ballrooms and nothing more. The
home of E. II. Harriman has a fern.
ous Louis XV. ballroom; the Harry
Payne Whitney house, the james A.
Burden house, the new Phipps man-
sion the Frick house, Sentor Clark's
residences.the Stuyvesant Fish house,
the john A. Dread hause, the Char -
let, IL Alexander house, and nearly a
hundred others have gorgeously decor -
tiled apartments, where, during the
'Winter, hundreds of guests dance from
about midnight well onto the first
telt gray of dawn.
. In fact, no modern millionaires'
town house is complete without a
suite of state apartments, ballroom,
banquet and retiring xooms, which oc.

"I made her take something aud go to

"God bless her. And now, Letty, bid
me goodnight, and let me rest; rest
is my only medicine"
With a deep alga Letty stooped down
tied kissed ber sister Old once more
withdrew from the room.
And still she hise there in that dark
room, with her hen& locked above, her
head, listening to the sounds of the
household preparing to retire to bed. By
midnight the house was perfectly still.
The family were all asleep. And she
arose and threw on a white dreseing
gown, and glided softly down the stirs,
pausing to listen, She reached the hall
of the first floor; all was quiet; no
sound was heard but the subdued voices
of the weteliers in the front chamber.
She went to the door of the back
chamber -cautiously opened it and enter-
ed, Al last -at lot she was tilone svith
her dead,
There Was a wax taper left burning
on the hearth. She took it up and ap-
proached the bed, and threw ita light
over the form extended there. She re-
verently uncovered the face and gazed
upon it -white -cold -motionless - ex-
prerssionless-dead.
Dead? Perhaps not. Of extreme despair
is sometimes born a mad hope -mad
form its birth, Perhaps, after all, he
might not be dead -who knew? She bad
beard of people given up for dead lying
in a trance and recovering to live many
years. Why might it not be so with
him? What if after all he were only in
a trance.
She sat down her taper and again ap-
proached the body. You would have
thought her erazed had you seen her at
work, with her pale still face, and her
gleaming eyes and painfully attentive
air, as she ran her hand in his bosom
and placed it an his heart, and bent her
ear to his closied lips. You might have
thought her crazed, but she was not.
Too well she knew when the trial was
past that the cold, hard form was dead
-dead 1
She dropped her head upon that bosom,
that loved bosom that in life had so ten- -
derly sheltered and. Cherished her -now
unresponsive silent; senseless'. She sank
upon the bed and clasped that cold form
to her heart and wept. They were bless-
ed tears; they loosened the tight tad
burning cincture around her brain; they
relieved while they exhausted her. ,
She could weep no more, but ehe crept
eloser to that dear form -dearer, ob,
yesI far dearer, though the soul had
fled, than all the livnig world beside.
Her daughter?' Yes sho had loved Maud
with all a mother's tenderness. But long
years before Maud had lived, ever since
her own ehildhooa, all her thoughts and
affections had centered upon this being;
ber life had been identified with the life
now fled, .and there was nothing in the
wide world without so near, so dear, as
this cola clay.
She crept closer to that loved form.
She laid her face and lips againet that
dearest face. She drew that stiffening
arm over her neck and resigned herself
to rest. A feeling of exhaustion, c•f
benign repose and content, was
stealing over her seines. She was really
cold, prostrated, and breathing fitfully;
but she did not lcuow it, for a heavenly
dream was brightening around her, the
boundaries of the room seemed lost in
light, and over her stood a shining form,
in whose all -glorious countenance she
recoguized the familiar face of her be-
loved. Ile held out his arms to receive
her; she raised herself to meet him, her
soul filled with joy.
Early in the morning the upholsterers
and undertakers arrived at the Hall.
Great preparations were on foot for the
funeral. The illustrious statesman might
not be laid in his 'last resting place with
the Christian simplicity that attends the
burial of other men. The officials com-
menced operations, ad made all arrange-
ments with quietness said celerity. The
saloon was speedily prepared and decor-
ated for the solemnity of lying in state.
And:when all was ready they went in
grave procession up the stairs, and pre-
ceded by Mr. Loyal and Falconer, entered
the room ef death.
But there a vision met their eyes that
rebuked all tho vain show, and touched
the human hearts in their bosoms! For
here, on the bed beside the dead, with.
her face hidden on his cold bosom, lay
his faithful wife -so still they thought
he slept. Mr. Level approached in awe
to wake her, but paused a moment to
contemplate this sorrowful picture of love
and death. She lay beside him with her
arms around him, one arm under his
shoulders, the other over his breast, her
head upon his bosom with her face down-
ward, and her rich black hair flowing,
scarf -like, across his chest.
Mr. Level stopped and gently and re-
spectfully accosted her.
She did not reply.
Ho spoke again, inert earnestly and
closer to her ear.
She gave,no sign of 'consciousness.
He then, with reverential tendertiese,
took her hand, started, looked at her
anxiously, raised her hastily, turning
that beautiful, pale face up to the light.
Augusta, was demi! Ilea oh, bow con-
tent,. how "God -satisfied" hi death! The
passing Writ had sot its seal upon the
smooth,serene brow, aid the mainly-
elosed lips. The expression of her face
was a new revelation of the heavenly
rest.
Poor Mandl it seemed a cruel Stroke
that deprived her of her wither that
day. And she keelt and wept by that
bed as if her heart moat break. Nor
could she be got out of the tooin until
Mr. Lovel took ber up in his arum and
carried her, fainting, asvay. She grievea
tie one who would not be comforted,
almoet resenting the efforts ef her
friends to soothe her, crying, distract -

After this, Letty sent everyone away
from her room, and took the exclusive
care of Maud upon hersele. ,And in an-
other loll of her tempest of grief the
poor girl said;
"My tears will force their Ivey, dear
Letty-but, ohl don't you know that I

Her words were arrested by another
gush of tears.

commonplace words of consolation. Sae

her sympathizing bosom, undisturbed by

thus Letty comforted the orphan.
After all, the funeral was A Very quiet
am Daniel Hunter and Augusta were
interred together in the family burial
ground at Howlet Heil. A monument
of the simplest fonts of arehitecture-an
obelisk of white marble -marks their
grave.
After the funeral the will of Daniel
Hunter was opened and read. • It was
found that he loft the whole of his real
estate and. personal property to his Wife,
Augusta, and constituted ber the sole
executrix of the will. But the widow
had survived her husband only a few
hours, and had died intestate.' Conse-
quently, Maud Hunter, who had, within
a few days past, attained her majority,
was now tbe solo heiress and actual mks -
tress of Howlet Hall. Mr. and. Mrs.
Level invitea their young relative to
return with them and apend it few
weeks, 1 or change of air and scene, .ist
the parsonage. But n� peremisions could
induce the orphan to leave the home
rendered so sacred.. by the recent lose of
her parents.
Letts? Hunter, therefore remained to
keep her company and to euperintend
the rearrangement of the disordered
houee,
Falconer was summoned to Washing-
ton to assist in the setting up of his
statue. He took a reluctant leave of
his betrothed, and, with the approbation
of Mr. Level, promised to return as soon
as his errand was concluded and spend
the spring and summer at Howlet Hall.
CHArTe1R XX.XIIL
And now 1 bave to record. one of those
unexpected, happy events that seem so
much like blind accident;
It was about a month after the death
of Daniel Hurter and Augusta. The
young spring was smiling over the earth,
awakening vegetation. The skies were
blue, the brazes soft, the fields and for-
ests clothed with tender verdure the
fruit trees all in blossom, the ga;dens
fragrant with flowers, arid groves musi-
cal. with birds. The sad heart of the or-
phan felt the influence and trembled
with the budding of its own new life and
joy. Within the hall all was beentifel
order and eomfort.
One morning Lefty and Maud sat at
.needle -work in the boudoir of the lat-
ter. Falconer, who had returned the
day previous, read to them front it vol-
ume of Wordsworth. A servant entered
with a card on a salver, which be
handed to his mistress. Maud examined
it with a puzzled look.
"'Joseph Barton, Iowa City! I deal
know him at all -I never heard of him
before, I'm sure."
But Lefty jumped from her sea, went
red and pale, and sat down again.
"'Joseph Barton?' Wlio did lie ask
for, Thomas?" • inquired Maud, still per-
plexing herself over the card. .
"For you, ma'am -for Miss Hunter."
"He must be some old friend of my
father's. Thomas, return to the gentle-
man, and say that I will be down in a
few minutes.'
"No'no, no, no 1 . It is I that he wants
to see!" exclaimed Letty, nervously. •
"You! He asked for Mies Hunter,"
said Maud.
"That is my name also, though I think
everybody forgets that I ever had any
other than Letty."
"Then this gentlaman is really an act
quaintance of yours -you know him?"
"Eh? Yes -no --I don't know --that is,.
I used to know -tin old -an old ac-
quaintance,as you say," said Letty.
"I never did see her so discompose -di'
said Mitud, as the former left the roam.
Meanwhile Letty, with her, 'heart
throbbing in her throat and depriving
her of speech and breath, pausea upon
the landing, and, leaning against the bal.
ustrades, exhorted herself as follows:
"Now, Letty }lento., you poor, miser-
able, little forlornly, do, for heaven'ti
sake, remember yourself, and don't turn
a feel at your age -don't -it Wouldabe
to ridicules*. You have led a
sensible life, , and haven't ex-
posed yourself up to thin day. Now
take care. Think of all the eentinsental

fell under your notice, and. be upon your

quaittenee. Therefore, itendy, Lefty,

and entered the. drawing -room.
And Imre enough, there, in the Middle

"1 eald nothing of the kind, you slan-

"Do you know What brought me on

dropped the whole business into the

nothing In your heart that answers the
question?"
Letty shook her head. I know not how

five in Letty'e circumstances; but I
know that she, in the midst of the
strongest, the most tenacious and most
rational attachment that ever lived .in
women's heart, felt thoroughly palmated

sign sentimental old maids and widoWs
whom' she had seen shown up in satire,

"Add so you cannot imagine what

Gently Broke the News. -
Captain Pritchard, of the Mauretania,
was talking about sailors. "We are a
bluff lot," he said. "Did you ever hear
• about the sailor and the parrot? Well,
an old lady was returning from abroad
with a parrot of which she was very
fond. She intrusted the bird, with many
admonitions, to a sailor for the voyage.
Seasickness, or something, killed tae par.
rot the third day out. The sailor, know-
ing 'how upset the old lady would be,
could not bring himself to toll her the
sad tidings, but Asked a companion, fam-
ous for his skill in such matters, to
break the bad news to her very, very
gently. The man assented. Approach-
ing the old lady with a tragical face,
the famous newsbreakor touched his cap
and aaid: 'I'm afraid that 'ere bird o
yourn ain't goin' to live long, ma'am.'
`Oh, dear1' exclaimed the old lady in
alarm. 'Whyr "Cause hes dead,' was
the reply."
"Yes -and I believed so until last
month."
".And how did you find it out at

"By the merest aceident, without which

How It Works. . •
Once there was a struggling young au-
thor who was blest with many friends,
all of whom told him that he was the
owning great writer of the country.
So one day it, bright thought struck
him. He said:
"I will publish my book, and all my
friends who admire it so much will buy
my book, and I .will be Atli."
So he printed his book.
And all of his 'friends waited for him
to send them autographed copies of his
book.
And so his books Are sold as jutik.
And ever after he didn't lieve any

The hollyhocks droop their heads,
And. the butterflies nett as they go

But you are always awake, old. fellow,
And so is each tiny star;
And you're just as pretty and soft and

What Art Should be.
Things tin a paipting) must not have
the appearance of being brought to-
gether by chance or for a purpose, but
must have a necessary ancl inevitable
connection. .1 desire that the ereatione
which I depict should have the air of
being dedicated to their sitaation, so
that one could not imagine that they
would dream Of being anything else than
what they are: A work of art ought
to be all one piece and the men and
things in' it should afways be there for
it amen. It were better that thine
weakly said should not be said at all,
because in the former case they aro
only, as it were, deflowered and spoiled.
Beauty does not consist so much of the
things represented, as in the need one
has had of expressing them; and this
need it is which createe the degree of
force with which one acquits oneself
of the work. One may say that every-
thing is beautiful provided the thiug
turns up in its own proper time and in
its own place; and, contrariwise'that
nothing can ha beautiful arriving
appropriately, Let .Apollo be Apollo, and
Sot:roam Secretes. Which is Lite more
beautiful, a straight tree of a crooked
tree? 'Whichever is mot in place. This,
then, is my conclueion; The beautiful
is that which is in place. -Jean Fran -
