Along came one of the firm, and he r1e- marked how sultry it was; and then, see- ing Em's purchase, he said: “‘There, 1 told Mr. Emmons he would find that he hadn't enough in twenty yurds for a cos- tume.” Mr. Emmons is Em’s venerable pa,and Em turned oyer her chewing gum and made eyes at me. “P'a never does get enough material when he brings ma and me dresses to surprise us,” said she decidedly. “You had enough of the striped moire, at all events,’’ went on the mer- chant. Em brought the Louis Quinze heel of ner Oxford tie across my instep with such force that I had four laaders to darn on my new silk stoekings before I slept that night. She had a few words with pa that night. She never let out the source of her information, and she made him think she knew—well,in fact, everything. Pa is not Em’s own father. Her own was killed in the war, and her ma married a southern doctor just as Mary Anderson’s mother did. So now you see that Em is having a lovely summer. The old gentleman took us both to Saratoga this week, and the first afternoon we were invited by an old into her private parlor to take part in a materialization seance.

I whipped back my light bamboo chair, and held all my dress high abov Thus pressed against the wail I had a fine opportunity to learn how they get information and amuse- ment from the great beyond. There were two mediums. There was sort of a ir in the corner, and sev- nes and accordeons and In bells on_the table. Amid the row that began 1 remembered the zither and slid up to the wall beside it. Standing there in that pitchy darkness, suddenly a string twanged and I made a clutch for the air in front of the chair. I clasped & perspiring arm, bare from fingers to shoulder. "I held on and shricked, Em flew to the door and let in a little light, i st as [ got a stinging box on the ear and felt my assailant slip away. Some one lighted the gas, and Em’'s rn‘l who is & firm believer, was dreadfully angry with me. [ insisted that the medium next himhad-struck me, and that he was bare armed. But we' were overruled by the faithful. The man had cnffs sewed in his alpacea coat, he wore a false bosom and collar, and he had slipped like a snake into his skia when he flew to his seat. At all events we determined that Em’s pa should have enougii of the spirits. We stole into his room snd hung a trunk key by a piece of black silk over the hend of his bed. We carried the spool over the transom into our room. We took a kid glove, filled 1t with sand, sewed it at the bottom and fastened it to n lovely weather strip that we pied off the side of the window. Then we dipped our sand-stuffed glove in the water pitcher till it was clammy and bortible to the touch. PA HAD A PROTRACTED SEANCE with a_poker party but at2 wa heard him hiccoughing as he dropped his boots outside in the hallway. We put a table against the connecting door and waited Only & minute and & snore that seemed to lift the shingles rent the air. We ran our weather strip through an passed that uncanny hand over the old man's brow in the dark. At the same time we jerked the thread and the trunk key rattled hol- lowly against the hard board. Pa stirred. ‘The gas-pipe was outside the ceilin, from our room to his. I gently tapped the burner with a button hook 1n my room and it sounded distinctly over his bed. Em rolled up & newspaper into a long horn and in a down cellar voice through it let a dismal groan. “Great heaven!" we heard Pa say. Em grabbed the stick, and a3 wa made out his bald head aitting up in bed,we jost Jaid that clammy handon it in u frightful way. Next minute we heard pa in the hallway, and Em said lhrm;gh the tru t: ‘‘You can not eacape from the pe turbed spirit of David which haunts thit lace,” "Davia was Em’s mother’s firs- husband. “‘Go to the wronged woman. Confess and sin no more,” added Em through the columns of the daily pape “I want to see your mother,Emma, an go'to the city to-day,” said the old man at breakfast. “You girls bebave your- selves, I may not be down again, but you finish the week here.” So Em and 1 are at Saratoga and hay- ing u time that couldn't be photographed. IN A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE, as well as to escape the heat of the town for a day, but under safe chaperonage, took passage 1 upon a group of lmr;:e! attached to a large steamer bound up the river to a picnic ground. It was a typical popular excursion. People from the East side and along the water front who could af- ford to take a day’s outing were there with their wives and children. They had two small bands along besides a Scotch- man in native undress and a bagpipe. No sooner had the boat and barges cast off into the stream than dancing began in every available place where the sound of the music could reach. At no moment during the rest of the day was there a cessation in this form of amusement, for as soon a8 the excursionists got ashore a good percentage of them went to a pavillion near the dock and kept it up there until time for re-embarkation. As wve lay a the pier previous to getting under way. Isat on the upper deck of one of t parges on o long bench that continued around the craft next the rail. A man about thirty years old with a face that be- tokened a rough determination to enjoy himself, approached leading two little girls by the han He lifted them up to the bench beside me, and puttingon @ stern expression he said to them *‘Now yez set there, d've mind?

HOWE & KERR, FURNITURE 1640 DOUGLAS STREET, (Op sosite Falconer’s.) how would I find thema when I want them Stay still, now, d’ye mind?” anyway? d 'i‘lm filtlc ones were smiling and paid apparently no attention to the command. The man stooped over to adjust a lunch basket and a8 he did so a suspicious stream poured from the inside pocket of his coat over the basket and upon the deck. He looked atit stupidly for an mstant and then carefully thrust his hand into his pocket and slowly withdrew a vint flask from which the cork had been ost. Everybody who saw it smiled. He looked at it ruefully. 1t was about half full, & *‘Here,” he 1, presenting the flask tome, “will yez haye it? It's good brandy, so it is.”” And when I declined: “Sure, 1 don't want it any more. Yez might as well have 1t as to throw it away.” s A Finding he could not make a gift of it, he concluded to keep it, and put it back in his pocket, not even trying to stop further leakage with a piece of wadded vaper. He started to gu away, paused just in time to sce the 18 children dart after & man with a big boutonniere to beg u **posy’ of him. “‘Here, here! come wid _yez,” claimed the father angrily, He s d her not roughly but emphatically by the shoulder and pushed her back to her place on the bench with further admon- itions to keep still «d mind what he said. The children were not in the least disturbed by this direful language, and though they sat quietly while he was in sight, they did not look troubled or htened. The minute he turned his back one of the children tugged at my sleeve, and when 1 looked down to see what was wanted she said: T “Say, will we stop on any grass up there?" The most interesting feature of the dancing on this excursion was the jigs. All the other dancing was unique enough to one nccustomed to the graceful and elegant vements of people whose nearest approach to a popular excursion is a yachting cruise; the tigures in this ease were strange and crude and the mo- tions of all but one or two positively awkward and growesque, though th lations of the sexes to my mind were a8 in the most fashionable gatherings at the Brunswick, but the jigs were more in- luruslm['.: hecause they gave o good u or chanee for demonstrating the peculiuri- ties of the individual Ihere wus one young man with a sandy mous- tache who Vi ready ~at all moments in day~ to start inona jig in competition with man, woman or child, and the result was in part that the Scotchman blew steadily and the droning of the bagpipe never ceased, So great was the interest taken by the party in the jigs that the bagpipe was ulw:(;'s surrounded by a big crowd, | (1 and it often happened that four couples at once were dancing. A typical man in such a erowd is one who fairly roars sith the freedom of the day. He slaps his frionds on the: back, drinks deeply and heartily of foamy beer, gives -every girl of his acquaintance & vigorous hugin pussing, and before the day is over ¢x periments with every form of amusement offered bv the occasion. Me may wind up his diversion if he gets a bit excited by a fight, h may get ver drunk, but never for a momen$ does the care of business suggest itself ; he never forgets his freedom, and it scems a part of s cnjoyment to pro- claim foreibly his lack of restraint. Whem a crowd is composed mainly of such men and women, for there are plenty of the sume type, 'white-gowned servant girls, mothers of families, red-faced grand- mothers, and Bowery shop girls, the chances are about even that ali will have a glorious time in their own way, or that they will all regret it the next mornin with aching if not brui heads an inflamed stomachs. Sul a man roaming about the barges came to the bagpipe place, thrast his* way to the arena and offered loudly to dance down any girl in the crowd for a kiss, the '?lgl! not to hold if he did not succeed. here was at once a storm of bantering and bravado on all side: ONE PLUMP GIRL, whose eyes glistened with the fun of }p- day, was cncouraged to enter the i ve it to him, Nell." can stand it if he can he arguments uttered to try the dance. After a giggling delay of a minute she gave her parasol to & friend and faced the burly yvoung man smiling.
