But I wa iae day MM in the beautiful groonda of the Dane John, watching the children drinking at the fountain, when a shadow fell upon the path. It might have bvn the shadow of coining events, but upon looking around I perceived that the substance was a very Lieantifnl young lady, with roguhh blue eyes that might have been thr-- headquarters of fan and ood humor, looking at me from a frame of golden ringlets. Now, yon need not imagine that I, sober gentleman of 40, was in love with a girl. Nothing of the kind. She was at least 30, and a Iwjjred littta boy who stood near, whose tongue I loosened with a piece of silver, told me that she wat a widow, who owned a small farm outside the town, and that her name wag Mrs. Faber. He also informed ine tliat her brother lived with her and managed the property. Upon the following morning I greatly surprised my friend, Harry Powers, by praising the Widow Faber, and requesting an introduction. He gazed at me a moment in speechless astonishment, and I think that he really thought of knocking me down with Webster's Dictionary and calling for assistance. But Harry was engaged himself, and soon compreSo he hended the state of affaire. dropped the book upon the table and invited me to a picnic which was to take place in the woods in a few days, where I should meet the lady and bo introduced. I immediately purchased a new suit of clothes, a beautiiul wig and a pair of tight boots, and when the morning of tkt festival dawned crowded myself into the broadcloth, put on my wig, and after much preparation and strong language had been wasted managed to squeeze my feet into the patent leathers, where they felt as if incased in red hot iron boots. t the picnic 1 received the promised introduction, and had the pleasure of escorting Agnes all day. She talked with me, and we attacked the eatables in company, investigating the interior of pigeon pies and dissecting chickens together. 1 was happy all day. and when at parting she invited me to visit her I believe the tightness of my waistcoat was all that prevented my heart from bursting its bonds. My feet prevented me from sleeping that night, but I was willing to suffer in such a cause, and 1 bore it without a murmur. One day I hired a horse and gig at the livery stable, and started toward the farm to carry Agnes to a party at a neighboring town. She was already dressed when I drove up, and looked beautiful in a new bonnet and shawl. We were very comfortable, and our conversation was very interesting. I was advancing rapidly in hor good opinion, and waa beginning to think seriously of popping the question, when the horse stopped suddenly as if turned to stone. We both tumbled suddenly forward with a low bow, and my companion's lovely nose came into sharp contact with the dashboard. I immediately jumped out to see what was the matter, but everything about the horse appeared to be all right, and 1 again climbed into the gig and prepared to start. Bat the horse obstinately refused to move, i coaxed and flattered, but he would not bo persuaded. 1 t thrashed him with the whip until my wrist ached, but he remained immova ble aa a statue. At last 1 sharpened a hehre stake, took my seat, gave th reins to my companion and gave him a tremendous blow. 1 hardly hoped to see him stir, but he did, and started with a leaD that almost threw me on my back. I immediately seized the reins, but his determination had taken another chan nel, and he would not stop. I tugged at the reins and shouted. "Whoa!" but he held the bit between his teeth and rushed along the road like a runaway comet Agnes screamed and 1 roared as we dashed bv the farm houses with the speed of alocomotive. Tho horse's the dashboard at every leap and the bright shoes twinkled like small stars in dangerous proximity to our eyes. Finally the wheels struck a tree, the horse stumbled and the next moment 1 was lving upon my back in the road. Feeling like an exhausted bellows I re gained my breath and picked myself up after a wmie, Dut wnat a situation i Agues lying upon the grass, with torn clothing and disordered hair, while her chignon was rolling along the pathway pursued bv a terrier.

The sleeves are plain, puffed and trimmed with bows and loops of the ribbon. Cream colored gloves complete tho whole, which is admirably pretty and youthful. This tame design could be followed out in pure white or in any ..ther color more becoming, and in any plain surfaced material. Satin is just now very fashionable again, and it could be made of that ma terial.

A pretty drapery forms a bertha around the neck, and the sleeves are caught up to the top of the shoulders with a bow. Clusters of pink roses and foliage add grace to it, and a rose is fastened in the low braid of the pretty wearer's hair. Any bright girl can make this dainty dress. White veiling, surah, satin or evening shades of ca.' hmere would all be suitable for it, and 10 would cover the cost if the wearer made it. The last of these pretty evening dresses is of white crepe lisso and green faille. The front is draped loosely over a slip of white silk or sileeia, with a very full ruchir.g of white crepe lisss across the foot. At tho waist there are plastrons made of the silk, cut in the shape of daisy leaves, with the veinings of gold thread. The train is also outlined by two rows of gold thread. Between tho leaves are trailing bunches of daisies. The front of the waist and sleeves is of crepe lisse, with daisy borderings and a daisy collar. The one and only possible fault to find with this dainty dress is that the daisy worn in the hair looks too big. and would be far prettier replaced by a little bunch m exiM-n-ive- en.-il- They swarmed in my hair, and crawled under mv clothing until I was frantic The more 1 stamped and beat and raved, the more they stung me. At last I gave a stamp of tremendous force; my tight patent leathers burst, and just as my feet protruded at the sides I stepped in the overturned hive I might as well have stepped in the fire; the little tormentors stung my feet, and I danced like a boar upon hot plates and for the same reason. I was still wildly beating the air, when I perceived all the farm servants, whom my shouts had aroused, charging in a body. They shouted "Thief," and flourished their weapons and 1 began to think of leaving that neighborhood in a hurry. Bat 1 was determined upon revenge. 1 could not be stung any worse than 1 was; so 1 grasped the hive that stood upon the bench and hurled it into the crowd. I had the pleasure of seeing it drop upon the brother's head like a huge hat, and to see the individual throw it off and roll upon the ground in anguish. I never derived so much pleasure from hearing a person swear before. I could hear my pursuers breathing hard near me. and expected every moment to feel the spikes of the pitchfork behind, when 1 stumbled over a stone and fell headlong into the river. The men behind, unable to check themselves, followed, and the next moment we were all struggling in the water. It was not deep, and was the best accident that could have happened to me, as it rid me of the liees. I soon arose and scrambled up the steep bank, where 1 stood to look around. In one place a head appeared above the water; in another a pair of feet kicked in the air, without any visible owner. Hats, pitchforks and men were mixed in a confused heap, while all plunged and puffed like a shoal of porpoises. Although 1 was smarting with pain the scene was too ludicrous to be gazed on with a sober countenance, and 1 laughed until 1 could roar no longer. But when 1 reached my rooms 1 did not feel so welL I knew that I had lost Agnes forever, besides the heavy sum for the gig r.nd the new suit. My face was swelled for many days, and I could not leave the house. To be sure, some of the neighbors had witnessed the battle, and when it was shown how 1 had punished them I was quite a hero among my friends. Praise, however, did not replace the missing money, and Agnes would not speak to me in the street So I was wretched. I am now a confirmed bachelor, and I look with a thankful heart ujion the chaos of bootjacks and boots in my room without the least desire to change my condition. I look upon all widows as PISK SCRAH AND DAISY. attractive destroyers, and my experience has been such as to confirm my hatred of of smaller ones. This dress would le the sex.
