It is edged with sealskin | fringe, and nas a high standing collar fastened | by a fanciful ciasp. AMONG TRE STILL Very Porcrar jersey bod- fees are some newily-arrived models designed exclusively for evening wear. One elegant bodice is made of pure white silk Jersey webb- ing, rich and lustrous in quality. This is ex- quisitely embroidered in white silk floss and mitk-white and erystal beads in designs of roses and buds. Perricosts in all shades of yellow, from straw to orange, are worn under black lace skirts, which continue to be as populur as ever. Ladies with Chantilly lace flouncesand “points” stowed away have only to bring tiem forth and | rape them over asiik or satin of this favorite yellow hue to haye one of the most becoming of evening dresses. Tue Frowt Hate is still arranged in light curls or waves, in the style most becoming to the face, the prevailing style bemg fluffy curls on the forehead, extending about three incives | to meet the back hair. Combs and pins made | of shell, or silver and gilt studded with Rhine stones, fn endless variety, will be used as orna- | ments in hair-dressing. True Vensare more extensively worn by | brides than those of lace. Thouzh they do not | produce so rich an effect, tul being more ‘transparent than lace, admits of a better view | of the dress beneath, which is quite a consider- | ation. Diamond or pearl-headed pins are used for keeping the veil in place, and the favor- ite flowers are orange blossoms or lilies of the vailey. A Bart Dress of white satin, with stripes of salmon-cotored velyet, is a triumph of the modiste art. The peasant waist is plain and pointed. Around the neck and shoulders there | is a puffing of white satin, covered with a drapery of salmon tulle. dotted with minute tasseis of pink pearis. The robe is trained and the front | of the skirt is exquisitely draped with the beau- tiful pearl-covered salmon tulle. A HaxpbsoMe dinner dress for a bride is a terra- | cotta and peacock-blue shot silk. It is very ef- | fective, the colors lighting up brilliantly at | night. The waist is trimmed with lace and but- | terfly bows of bine velvet. The front of t skirt is covered with flounces of yellow la long bows and ends of blue velvet ‘ribbon trim | the sides. The black drapery is verydull and displays the rich colors of the silk to the best Advantage. | A RevIvaL emanating from the highest quarter fs that of the locket or pendant worn | at the throat with open dresses—one of the few | ornaments suitable and becoming to all ages. | Nothing unites richness and simplicity more | than a glittering diamond pendant or cross de- pending from a narrow velvet neckband, and | worn with a clinging trained evening dress of yare white lace of tulle. Black is equally ef-| fective. | Tue New Yorx Queen (a leading fashion an- thority) says that the leading colors are canard. the green of a duck’s pluma: winter-gray ake a gulls wing; cinnamon, myrtle, bronze and mouse, and ared mal iy. Faney silks are going out, but many stripes and interwoven plaits of mixed coloring are used for trim- winge. Soft Indian plain and tuted, are worn. Merveiilieux has come Bown in price, but has been superseded by drap detolle, which does not cling so much and wears Ui fashionable, and man- ufactarers have so improved the make of Ben- waline that pull it as you will it does not open. All dresses are made of two materials or of two kinds of the same, plain and flzured. Tue New York Queen also says: Pink is a color that promises to ve fashionable tor even- Ing wear daringthe season.

THE PERIL A LOVER RAN AND THE LOVE HE Lost. SCENEL A winter day; a cold sky full of snow dancing down in Joyous vivacity, to cover, with negll- gent charity, the ugly little town and hide its enrions air of incompletion. The walls of adobe ml stone, incongruities of desiga, the irregular, even streets full of rock in the rough, together with hill-setting of numerous abandoned prospect- ioles and rudimentary tunnels, gavea whims!” cal suggestion that Titans had left unfinished a town they had been cutting out from the earth’s raw material. This was the ontside aspect as seen through a pair of tall windows, with curtains stretched back to gather every ray of light from the dim, dull sky. That light, scant as it was, brought out the home-like cheer within. The warm red ‘carpet and casual fittings comforted the eye, At the windows broad shelves full of plants, that gave the sole stegestion of luxury, barring the arematic brilliancy ofa nt cedar fire. A room of whose possibilities the most had been made. full of the personality ofits tenants; aroom where & man was very apt to get a sense of fe- pose and tinistration—chief requirements of the masculine nature. Edward Lamb found its effect like that, lean+ ing at ease ina homely big chair that had the knack, like all the chairs at this house, of fitting the human frame. A large, fair man, slizhtly inclined to stoutness, he was of that type of Irish beauty that involves wholesome, clear skin, ed with delicate rosiness, abundant blonde hair and évep blue eyes, with more sleepy ten- than was strictly essential behind their thick lashes. m very fearful I'm in foranother fortnight,” ot much chance of the roads opening ot ching goes on.” iby left the window and came back to her low seat onthe hearth laughing. The im- patience of his words was so completely at vari- nce with the deliberation and contentment of “Possess your soul in patience,” she said. “Tt is only a question of days for you, and then—” of farewell and departure. nd you?—are not you coming East some “Oh, yes,” she answered, with a certain blithe skepticism, “when we sella mine Mr. Lamb smiled at her satirical touch upon the sancuine creed of the camp. “Ledyard was wondering what could keep me here,” he said, inconsequently; “a Bohemain born, for whomthe noise and hurry of cities is as the breath of lite.” Madelon Soulsby locked at him intently. : said, a little sharply, “what has And yet he knew that she was perfectly aware what had kept him. Idlersboth, they couldhardly have counted the long, compaulonable after- noons they had spent together that winter. The little towa was agog with the Irishman’s infatuation. It would have needed more than eir Jolat asseveration to have convinced the ossips that between these two no love-maiing had been. “Yes I ought to have gone lest week,” he said, ignoring her audacity, “when Ledyard went.” ‘Why did you not go?" she persisted. The household cat had leaped upon her lay a vicious. big beast, whose claws had a wicked way of unsheating themselves upon fondling fingers. Mr Lamb found himself dwelling on the fact that he never had seen Dick so requite Miss Soulsby’s careless endearments. The lazy creature laid himself luxuriously across her knees, like a great. gray muif, as the girl nest- led her hands on his warm tur—delicate hands those, always cold; not clammy, but cold with a firm and reticent force of their owa. Some day—who knows?—it may be madea penal offense—thetr exercise of this capacity Some women have for indirect chailenge; this tacit wooing that perhaps overwelghs a man’s prerogative of outspeaking. Edward Lamb was a phlegmatic man enough ordinarily, and little given to tmpulses; but just now he would have bartered his soul's satvation for the right to displace Dick's parted tur with own handsome fair head, to feel that caress- ing touch press down his’ throbbing eyelids. To his dying day he would not forget tha pic- ture that instant photographed on the retina ot his heart. For hia, hereaiter, no wonder of art nor revelation of living beauty could dispel the memory of the graceful, girlish shape whose quietude told of repression, not inertia: the air of absolute self-confidence and cool, impartial self-disdain; the bright face, with that mocking | phase of mingled wooing’ and warning: the grave, childish wistfulness on that rounded brow; the sweet lips just now curved in scorn; the intent amber eyes, Mr. Lamb averted his gaze, and took upa novel from a couch in the ingle nook. By the malignity of that perverse Fate who misregu- lates to inopportunity these crucial moments, it was a novel treating of the domestic adven- tures of a young journalist and the pathetle small economies of his wife. Both had read the tale; inevitably their comments must partake ot sentimental coloring. ‘Is it the manlier way,” said Mr. Lamb, with a fine air of unconcern and indifference, “to offer a woman such a life as that?—or would one better protect her from self-sacrifice by keeping ‘That man is most fatuous who fancies that a woman will not make instant personal applica- tion of such aspeech. An exasperating smile of discernment bent Miss Soulsby’s lip. “Men have the perogative of committing any madness,” she eaid; “with women rests the veto power of self-protection against such insanity.” “Are you 80 worldly “Imay well be,” said the girl, bitterly; “I have known privation all my life long—that teaches the true value of this world’s goods.” Inyoluntarily his gaze fell straight upon her garb—soft, rich gray, its outiines defined here and there by broad bands of gay Roman stripe in some yelvety-looking woollen fabric. “T cannot conceive your having known the need of money,” he said; “few women are dressed like trat——” He stopped, becoming us how pointed was his speech. “Few are,” she asserted, laughing, ** happily for themselves and the peace of their hvuse- holds. Isee. You like my frock—men are so short-sighted—blind bats! Youlikeit,and why? Because it is nicely proportioned, and it ia true to its purpose. Do you see?” She held her drapery forward naively. “This is a frock for the house—not the sort of costume one would wear on the street. Harmony, adaptavility; that Is it, not elegance. The whole thing cost me—three dollars.” What!” “It is quite true. Ipaid that for the gray flannel. The bright stripe was the best portion ot a worn-out shawl, and I had the buttons, with an alr of triumphant conclusion. Mr. Lamb found something very brave and very pathetic in the simplicity and detail of this confession. This endurance of vanity’s mortifi- cation appeared heroic as contrasted with the lavish expenditure of other women far less lovely and worthy. But then, men usually are willing to concede great virtue to the practical- ity that achieves sizhtly results. If Miss Souls- s uttire had been unbecoming, or if Miss Isby’s se!f had been less pleasant to the eye, bt her exposition of ways and means might have seemed sordid and revolting in the xt Also, some allowance must be made for the attitude of delightfui intimacy implied in confidence ona topic so nearly personal as this of toilet matters. Altogether, many things ‘oto modify the triviality In value of discus- sions—betweer? woman and man—on puerile themes. “i thank you,” said Edward Lamb, almost reverently. it this fs allin the very worst possible taste,” said Miss Soulsby, briskly; “sooth to say, I am ina hage fit of disgust—-thanks, no doubt, to the weather. Ali this mignt look far more endurable by a warmer light,” with & disdainiul gesture, comprehending — the whole room, with its cheery make-shift deco- y | rations, “Do you know,” she went on, while the man sat speechless betore her daring—or her innocence, as might be—‘I have lately in my nature a vein of stron; ensucusness, much to my surprise; for I hi fancied myself rather an ascetic person. But no! I delight in pleasant sounds, I feast on beauteous sights, Lrevelin agreeable odors. Can anything thrill the soul like delicious Scents?” —the touch of grateful texture charms nie! ‘She pat the gray cat suddenly down upon the red brick hearth, as if with it she decisively set aside poverty, economy and all sordid and dis- tasteful things. Leaning forward, she stretched her curving hands toward the leaping flame. “I could never be completely happy while cold,” she said, ‘nor utterly miserable with my body clad ia warmth. Oh, I do understand how 7 can sell love and liberty—yes, and onor—for luxury.” Where was the reserved and maidenly com- panion of a moment since with her chaste cameo adinonition. “I would have himself between heart, “but now pat itin her hands,” he told the muffled plunges of his need. Her own je made an expressive little gesture | and he loathed himself for the sin he would have done. He turned reluctant eyes on Madelon Soulsby, afraid and ashamed; and behold, sie sat, un- conscious and composed as some young saint, her grave brow serious and calm, her delicate hands folded, almost as it for prayer. Had Mr. Lamb come yery near making a mistake? Does a man live who can battle with tempta- tion and overcome it, and then abandon the field without further daillance with evil? Is it that we like to parade our power and make show of our strength ? “Whut a little creature you are?” sald Edward ow. tall definitely? Stand up and jet me see. He put out his hand as It to raise her from the chair, but drew back short ot her finger tips. For his life he dared not now presume by 80 mfch as that slight touch, Ste stood up as simply as @ child. “What was it that Orlando said about his iady’s stature?” “Just as high as my heart’--she barely breathed the words, yet with exquisite tender- nessa, inclining her head with a movement un- speakably sweet and thy, until her cheek bent Just above his throbbing heart, yet quite apart trom him. But before her hair was stirred by the sigh from his drooping lips, she sprang back like.a creature at bay. her brow knit in a trown, hér eyes blazing indignation and reproach. “How dare you!” she cried. ‘What a pitiful pretext! How ingenious! How full of cour- What wonder that the fair Irishman blushed forhis own poor ruse to bring her near him for @ moment. Was this acting? Had she only affected just now to discover his motive? Was his ardor answered by wild rapture in her own undisciplined heart? “Or was she like some fair saint, far above the comprehension of earthly passions? Could she have used ignorantly the of evil, as a child ly with engines of de- struction—each innoceutly vain of its fancied knowledge? “Come in!" Miss Soulsby’s sweet voice fol- lowed a knock at the door. Mr. Lamb's associate came into the room. “Ledyard telegraphs that the line is open now, and a party is starting out. You have not a moment to spare. No one knows how long | we may be shut in here, once the spring thaws set in.” And so, before the curious scrutiny of thls observer, they cicsed the day aud bade each other but a tormal adieu. SCENE Il. Mr. Edward Lamb brought to its close a let- sitting in the reading room of a hotel intie t the Western seagate. Sundry iufuences had delayed its completion; he had but just come to the end of his transcontinental trip; a certain sense of freedom and elation was still new enough to intoxicate him, heart and brain; he could not put out of his mind his sensation, when, crossing the bay from the train, he first caught sight of the city looming ahead like some mighty monster in bronze. And an ac a time. He was but just putting pen to paper when he was greeted by a fellow journalist, who presently introduced Mr. Lamb to a man sit- ting neat; aman whose name stands historic in the records of the state, whose position and great wealth might have commanded the younger man’s attention. Beyond these his interest had been won by the mellow wisdom and gentle shrewdness of this quiet, kindly potentate, who, as per the Pacific journalists’ dictum, “owned half a county.” Even now, despite the vital interest of the lines he was writing, Mr. Lainb found his mind and his eyes straying toward his neighbor. The fine, small head, venerable with its scant, white hair and flowing gray beard, was in relief against the wall, that threw up all its Wholesome freshness and calm benevolence. Mr. Lamb found a sort of fascination in this contemplation, and divided his attention pretty equally between the gentleman and the letter. As he folded the sheet he lifted his eyes to- ward the general staircase; coming down from the floor above was the woman he was address- ing. Self-possessed and easily poised, she came toward him with the old free step and the old Impenetrable challenge on brow and lip—a little warmer of tiut,a little brighter of eye than when they parted. It was only when she had come very close to him that he noted the ex- ceeding richness of her attire. worn with the same careless grace as the old-time flannel. “She does become fine raiment!” his thought exulted, ‘and yet she would not seem endiman- chee in cloth of gold.” She paused beside his chair, and looked straight into his kindling, deep blue eyes with her own unwavering gaze. “To think I meet you here,” he said; sending you a letterto Ei Paraiso—see! Take it—read it now! Incoherent as it is, it will speak as my lips cannot.” "I was He put the paper into her reluctant hand. “I would better not read it, I think,” she said. gent let_me explain first-—” Read!” he said, almost fiercely, and she read slowly down the page: It was a year since I have heard one word of you (the letter ran, with that abrupt beginning, which Significs absolute absorption) when Ledyard, writ- ing, mentioned casually that In passing through El Paraiso he had met you there. The next day I star again. Iam here, but I dare not go farther until Isendin advance my explanation — not an excuse, inlud—for what seemed a cruel and cowardly retreat when we parted out yonder—you remember the bleak and hopeless day. ‘The fight 1 fought that afternoon has disabled ine ever since; but also It has strengthened me. Can you under- stand that? No; no woman can understand what it meant to have you there betore my eyes, within reach of my arms, and to leave you. To know your sordid qurroundings, to hear of your privations, to gee you beating your wings against your prison bars, and to know that the pleasures and luxuries I would have heaped upon you J must render in unwilling tribute to a woman I abhorred. You do not know—no one on this side knew—that I had a wife. I married her in London when I was just of age. She was an honest woman—I would have divorced her else; but her coarse and vulgar na- ture made my lifes hell. T gave up everything to her and came over to New York. She was nestled in luxury and you were In actual want! Now you understand the temptation I battkd with out yonder, I had a wild dream of carrying you away with me.

Lamb could speak, could touch her, the gray- haired man he had been watching had come to her side. “What fs it, Madel No voice of youth ever held half the tender- ness of that old man’s tone. She made a brave attempt to smile in reassur- ance. “It was foolish—I am a little nervous to-day, perhaps—and—Mr. Lamb has given me, in this letter, ill news of an old friend. I will go away and rest a little from the shock. But first let me Introduce—- What, Mr. Lamb? Have you already met—my husband?”—San.
