VILLIERS, e o e SR ARl For more than a year we had held a position on the frontier of Yunnan, and the day when we were recalled was made one of general rejoicing. Captain Vincent, who was in com- mand, decided to give a grand recep- tion to the troops that were coming to relieve us. All the resources of the country were drawn upon to make the coming supper, the only meal that we were to partake of together with our successors, a memorable one. We were to leave the camp the next morn- ing at sunrise. A flare of trumpets announced the arrival of the little detachment. An hour after we were all like old friends. After quarters were found for the men I weat out for a walk in the out- skirts of the woods, with the lieuten- | ant who was to relieve me. His name was Caral. “You foolish' boy!” exclaimed the | ous, but full of fire and energy. “l suppose you are not sorry to. eave this desert?” he said. I did not try to conceal my joy at: the prospect of soon seeing France ! my old, again and of meeting all friends. “And your captain?” “If possible, he feels even more He 18 going to be mar ried when he gets home.

When we left the table Caral was wery nervoug and safd that the excite- | ment and the heat had robbed him of every desire to sleep. * “Suppose we have a quiet game of cards,” he suggested. The new captain declined, saying he was goiug tg try and sleep. Captain Vincent, however, accepted, and he and Lietitenant Caral sat in a corner of the broad veranda, where I watched the game. At first Caral lost all the time. Be- ing used to play he had made the stakes rather high, and out of polite- ness Captain Vincent had consented without objection. As for me, I was glad to see my captain adding to the little amount he had saved up for his marriage. Then luck turned. Vincent lost not only all his winnings but every franc he had in his pockets. Caral felt rather embarrassed at his constant luck, His posltlon was ine deed rather difficuit. ‘If he: stopped the play he saved the captain from furth. er losses, but he!also prdvented him from winning' back! what, :he had lost already, and. thie was quite @ consid- erable amount, | . .

Tell me, | what is he like—is he good looking, | kind, affectionate, domestic—does he, | in short, resemble the fancy portrait you used to draw of the man whom you would select as your life partner?

Mrs. S.—Ah, then you have discov- ered the delusions we practice on our- selves and fancy that the idol you fancied was pure gold has proved to be an image of common clay. Mrs. F—'Tis too true. We have only been married twelve months and already my husband treats me with a coldness that his politeness cannot conceal, Mrs. S.~Impossible, my dear Eu- genia, fmpossible! if he ever loved you. Mrs, F.—He did love me—oh, most devotedly! Mrs. 8.—And how have you let his heart escape? Mrs. F.—I know not—I am sure, to please him, I have neglected the world —his interests have engrossed all my thoughts; the hours which a woman of my age usually spends at her toilet, I have given to regulating his house- hold. Mrs. S—Hem! Interests—house- holld—go on, my dear, Mrs, F.—No wife ever attended more closely to her domestic duties—to de- vote myself to them I have given up my music, drawing and accomplish- ments—as for my economy, I have car- | ried it even to my own dress, which | you see is of the plainest description, Mrs. S.—Plain indeed—and men, un. fortunately, are too apt to confound a woran with her dress, Mr. Feather ley is doubtless a man of taste. then— Mrs. S—I think you have neglected bave retained his affections. Instead of worrying him with details of house- iceeping and monotonous lectures on domestic economy you should endeav- or to charm him as you used to do, by vour wit, your gayety and your ac complishments—sing to him, play to him, dance with him, if he will; fas- cinate him by your graces—even pique him by your coquetry, for these are the cages in which we keep men's hearts our prisoners, Mrs. F.—How, Julla, do you recom- arts with a gensiblea man?

Artist’s Love at First Sight, The great Gainsborough, the painte b of the celebrated “Stolen Duchess 8 and “The Boy Blue” and many lovely 3 landscapes, fell in love at a glance! He was painting a lanscape near Sug. bury, when he was interrupted in hiy § work by a lady coming between hin and the sunlight. Her shadow fell &% upon his work, for she was wholly § unconscious that she was lnterruptln;v a work of a genius. Gainsborough § looked up, perhaps thinking it was, cow that was wandering by. It hap pened to be a wery attractive woman, g with whom the artist was Instantly smitten. She proved a very helptul wife, and used to save every scrap of & work her husband did, although he would dash off a lovely sketch ang | fling it under the table. These cast | offs brought a large sum at auction a$ ter the artist’s death.
