'I find Naples quite oppressively hot. We will take the boat to-morro’w morning.” She Baid this as though her suggestion were a decision which could not be contested. Her brother, however, was equal to the situation, “It would be inconvenient for me, dear Maria, just at present. Next week would be much better. Then ! should be able to place myself entirely at your disposal. ” For reply, Miss Pink rose from the ta ble, and walked out of the breakfast )om. Left alone,'James Pink showed none of the depression of the man who is . in chains to bis wife, and who has just had a new bond of pain set upon him. He watched his sister depart as if she was somebody else’s sister, and not his Maria. Then, with the same look of ela tion which had perplexed and disturbed Sliss Pink, he challenged the.room to convict him of . aught akin to misery. Moreover, he called. for the waiter, and gave certain orders about the evening’s dinner in a tone of resolution that raised him tenfold, in the waiter’s esteem, and altered .tlie opinion which the other guests iasthe. hotel had casually formed about him. Nor wae this the limit of - hismetamor- •“It is, I suppose, as.dikely.to eeme'to anything, as-.your previous—fascinations. You are »3ertrdnly an odd person, James.*’ -‘f-Oh, no, Maria; this-;is quite, different. I-assure you cl have learned caution-with experience;;and if the-.world has taught no<efther lessee,.it has .taught me .that the <eyes. of -a man. are really the;least truatwor thy. of , th e. faculties .with which he has been-endowed.” “What nonsffiise! AsiiT youas’e. ever likelyl;o comeite.such a pitch,of wisdona. Why., ^ was bus last year, :at .Oban, yoE remember, that you fell in Io.ve with as woman who was a grandmother over and o.rer again. She tricked you as. easily .ae if you had been a babe, what with her paint .and .powder, false hair and false teeth. And I canlt-eay you did yourself-credit-when you vowed to me that you were about to offer your hand and what may remain -of your-heart to. a person who proved :to be f-wo-thirds be reft of her wits. I .don’t know -which county asylum she -aaow\ resides Ln, hut I dare say you know,; .and, indeed, know ing you as I do, it I'ealJy would laot sur prise me to he told that you were still in eorrespondence with her. There’s .one thing: the letters on either side would have about an equal -share .of .sense in them.” “You are too monstrotta, Maria, to go on in that way,” protested James. “And now,” continued his sister, “ you come with a fresh story about a sireai sitting somewhere a t the receipt of cus- tcan, with the loveliest complexion you ever beheld, and a demeanor the perfec tion of modesty, simplicity and grace. A deal you know about complexions; though I warrant, if it is given to men to know the qualities they most excel in, you ought to be a remarkable judge of the creatm-e’s simplicity.” It was in this way. James Pink, who was a country lawyer under no obliga tion to work fbr a livelihood, passed three or four months of each year of his life in traveling about the world. During his travels he periodically fell in love. He was accompanied by his sister, Maria, a lady of 45 to 50, who sympathized with none of her brother’s tastes. Least of all was she by nature disposed to view char itably his love fancies. In fact, they caused her intense irritation. Why this- should have been so -we cannot tell. But the truth was that no ^doner did her brother begin, timidly enough, one or other of .his stories about a new impres sion made upon his heart, than she was wont to toss her head and otherwise manifest a little temper, blamable in a girl of 12 or 13, but very singular in a woman of mature age. Upon this occasion they were at Na ples. It was spring, and Easter. They had viev/ed with complacence the pet lambs vdiich the Neapolitan children are wont to lead about the streets during the ; latter days of Lent, fattening them upon -grass, cabbage leaves or what not, in .-readiness for the butcher’s knife on Eas ter eve. Neither the one nor the other .of them had grown at all cosmopolitan •in the course of their ten or twelve .'.years’ travel upon the Continent. Each regarded with horror those customs of a -country which differed from the customs .of their own small village in the north of England. “They do not do that sort of thing in Uarsforth,” was with James or Maria Pinlf a.common sort of condemnation, indicative of the extreme of dispraise. - If either of them was disposed to be at all liberal in his or her estimate of a world which ..differed from Carsforth, it was James Pink. But he was cautious to keep his. opinions .to himself. Thus they had driven to and fro in Naples, v/ith their eyes fixed upon the smoke of Vesuvius when Vesuvius was in sight, and at other times with expres sions of pain xxpon their honest faces as they remarked the grime and filth which accompany the .color and vivacity of Neapolitan life. Maria Pink on these occasions journeyed with a small golden smeiling bottle in her hand; and how ever picturesque was this or that group ing of lads or lasses, ragged men and ragged women, upon the hot pavement of Santa Lucia, which siie was requested by the car driver to look upon, she never ao far forgot herself as to omit to use her salts while she inspected through her glasses the details of the curious scene. “For any sake, don't let us stay here,” she would remark to her brother. “There’s typhus in the air upon this ^ t , if typhus exists anywhere.” Imagine, then, this poor lady’s dis quietude when one morning her brother announced to her, with sufi5cient timid ity and humility, indeed, that he was •namored afresh—this rime of a woman eesident in the city which appalled her BO much from a social aspect* The declaration was made while they at breakfast in the Hotel Vesuve. been, content to execrate. And, having .allowed.the waiter to light one for him, while, he held it. in. his mouth, he left the ■room with—of course speaking ■n i met aphor—banners flying. .Miss Pink was :-stupefied to see her brother pass into.the hall-of the hotel smoking a .-cigarette. She had left the door o f theiiadies’ room open on purpose that she might estimate exactly the acute ness of the suffering she had .caused James by: the ; manifestation, o f her . dis pleasure; that, she . m ight. see him in : his despondency :as : Soon as ; possible, ..and perliap.?, there; and; then, - make, proposals for reconciliation. And . this.was \wliat met :lier. eyes. B?at. ere she could recover her equanimity,her brother had disap peared. ,A whiff. o f . smoke w a s . all that remained of him. It w a s ^very delicate, aromatic smoke; but did ;that make the sin any-the .less flagrant? In .the meantime, .James Pink was walking to.wards the -.city. It was marvelous to ;see ■’with what skill tliis maUj .ordinarily .the perfection of clumsiness, found a safe path between the noses of the liorses -of the different care which, .at the -crossing .by rthe pal ace .and the Theatre .San '.Carlo, -hotly competed for his patx^onage. And it was equally wonderful that he .could go at the pace lie did, with .so hot .a sun in the heavens. . But, in truth, James Pink had that within him which made him-indif ferent to externals. Thei:e was a fair portrait in his mind, which attracted all his energies, mental and physical, as a loadstone gathers to itself environing shreds of .steel. And the god Cupid, who generally knows what he is about,, though some hold him to be blind, pro-' tected him through all the dangers which encompassed him. 'Wliere the road widened into a spa cious public square, the lawyer abruptly turned w*eSfc and left it. The sea was again before him, blue and radiant. Be yond was the white fringe of the myriad of houses which bind the Bay of Naples like a snowy marge of sand. And over the houses swelled Vesuvius, clear and entrancing on this bright day, method ically puffing its smoke toward the pur ple shadow of the island of Capri, a light sketch on the horizon. Closer at liand was to be seen the conventional furniture of a busy port; a maze of masts, with here and there a red or a black fun nel in their midst, and 'a multitude of men and boys* lounging against walls and railings, and the stout columns of granite sunk in the piers as convenient tether for the harbor craft. There was uproar enough, in all conscience. All ports are noisy; but the tumult of the port of Naples may be called transcend- A hundred yards or so from the gate of the port there was a little white mai*- ble seat under a tree. The seat com manded a view of a low building, of a temporary kind, erected between it and the bay. In the doorway of this build ing an orchestral organ was to be seen, and from the colored posters outside it was evident that here wns a show of a kind to be foun<J alike in tlie cities of Europe and Timbuctoo. It was, in fact, a circus. From the organ loud harmon ies proceeded forth upon the charmed air, and voluble were the mpturous com ments of the Neapolitans who enjoyed this gratuitous diversion. The organ was not automatic. A long handle was turned with untiring energy by a woman fit to extort admiration from a traveler to whom no type of beauty is un known. Such symmetry, lissomeness and giace of movement! Long black hair, large unblinking eyes, worthy of the land they looked upon. The most bewitching complexion in the world. Teeth, mouth, nose, brow and chin all conceived by nature as if she had worked by the light cf the Book of Beauty. James Pink sat on the marble seat and contemplated this lovely creature. Mid dle aged man that he was, his heart beat as if it were disordered. You would have said he had a touch of palsy, if you could have seen the twitching of his mouth and fingers. And he winked I gain and again, as if the sun were in his eyes instead of held at a distance by the tree above him. After a time, our hero rose reluctantly, sighed, wiped bis face with his silk pocket handkerchief and departed. He knew better than to shatter or risk the shattermeat of his ideal by an interview, xmtii he was well prepared for the consequences, might they be ever so disastrous. But he was not, therefore, the less liberal in his praise. He lauded her loveliness and her figure until he was again at the portal of the Hotel Vesuve, It was really absurd to mark Miss Pink’s conduct towards her brother dur ing the remainder of that day. She was supercilious, deferential, tender and commanding, each in succession. But all her moods were powerless to affect her brother. He was as little moved by them as if he diad been a rock. His voice was itrong and decided-when ht replied to her questions. And, more over, Miss' Pink was exasperated to find that he was sufdciently changed to be able to treat her with a certain amoimt of condescension. In effect her brother behaved towards her as a political min ister might behave to a small suitor who pestered him with demands in the midst of his business, but who had a certain claim upon him for civil treat ment which he might not repudiate. “I can hear this no longer, James,” said Maria in the evening, after dinner. She felt some terror lest her brother should go off again with a cigarette in his mouth. Had he repeated this in iquity, she was resolved to cause a scene, in public or private, it did not mattei which. But no. V/ith an air of philo sophic abstraction that proclaimed hia peace of mind, he-had followed content edly at her heels when she had left the table to retire to their private sitting room. She had; thus the less cause for complaint. Yet she was too aggrieved to perceive this. “W-hat cannot .-you bear, Maria? Is not the service of the hotel good enough for you?” “The service of the fiddlestick! You know that I am concerned about a very different matter. It is your own wel fare, James, that is at stake, and heaven knows I have not watched over you from the time you were a helpless little babe—I mean, of course, when we were babes together—I say I have not been for twenty years in the position ^,of guardian towards . you, without acquir ing a strict and conscientious estimate’of my responsibility.” “Yes, yes,” observed James Pink, as if he were, from a sense of duty, encour aging a diffident Client , to unbosom him self of his troubles. “Be Silent, .James—with your yes, yeses,” exclaimed Miss Pink. “I will not be interrupted! Who is she, I say?. Tell me at once where I may find the creature, and put an end to the tragedy; for. it is tragic, indeed,, in-.its effect upon your heart, James, which'! had come to regard as soft, tender and humane.” “Maria,” said James Pink, benignly, when his sister paused, “.I do not admit that there is i-eason in your plea; but let that pass. The attachment; is of the pur-' est, the most Platonic kind. I have never stood within twenty paces of—of this dtyine being” ----- “And yet you are fool enough to sup pose she is one of nature’s beauties,” ob served Miss Pink. “It is my turn to cry, ‘Be silent!’ Ma ria,” replied James Pink. “It is trifling with the highest, the noblest of human sentiments, thus to cast cold water upon the blossoms of hope. You shall see her for yourself, sister. That will assuage your enmity, if anything wilL” “I can quite believe it,” said Miss Pink. “Nothing could please me more. The sooner the affair is ended, the sooner we shall return to our earlier and more comfortable, condition as an affectionate brother and.an affectionate sister, each anxious only to promote the other’s hap piness.” “ Hum!” murmux'ed the lawyer, strok ing liis chin, and with, for the moment, a recurrence of the light in his eyes. “.Go to bed, Jamqp,” said Miss Pink, abruptly; “ we have had enough excite ment for o ne day.” Without another word, and with but a single kiss of salutation, James Pink took up a candle and went oft' to bed. He dreamed for eight hours of his fair one, and awoke the next morning still with exultation in his heart. Miss Pink, on her part, sat and read for an hour and a lialf after she had wished her brother “ Good night,” and retired, confident that .she had the reins of victory once again in her sinewy, firm hands. ‘Well?” she said, when they sat oppo site to each other at breakfast again. ‘ ‘I see, James, that you are still a little foolish. Let us get the illusion over without loss of time.” “The illusion, indeed,” said James Pink, indignantly. “I am going there immediately after breakfast. If you choose you may accompany me.” “I ask for nothing better,” remarked Miss Pink, with emphasis. She straight way left the room, and ere James had rid himself of the fears which came ujion him' with his sister’s words of acqui escence in his impetuous proposal, she had returned, bonneted and gloved, and carrying in her hand a red parasol with a long stout stick. Humbly—for anxiety oppressed him and a sense of approach ing evil—James Pink left the hotel with his sister. They walked in silence. Ere long the music of the distant orchestra was audible. James held his head up. “Be patient, Maria,” he pleaded; “we are nearly there.” “I am glad to hear it,” was her reply. The sun is insufferable; and it is due to your absurdity that we are risking our lives beneath it.” “And so this is your innamorata!” re marked Miss Pink when, at James’ in vitation, she had seated herself on the marble bench. “Yes, I confess it; and I am proud of the attachment. It ennobles me,” said James. Miss Pink put up her glasses, the bet ter to v ie^ the action and countenance of the beaiitif 111 Italian; then she dropped them and looked at her brother in a man ner he will never forget. ‘You must allow me to break my promise,” she said. She rose, approach ed the show, advanced into the vestibule where stoo4 the orchestra, the woman who received the money, the siren of the music herself. Disregarding the out stretched hand of the one woman who demanded the entrance fee, Miss Pink stepped up . to the other woman, exam ined her closely, touched her and turned away. “You are certainly th© most consum mate fool on the face of'th e earth, James,” she said frigidly, when she re joined her brother, who had hurried after her; “You must take to spectacles: the creature ia wa.i.”-~Ghamber.‘j’ Jour- Electricity is used in some Pennsyl vania coal miiies to draw the cars up to the levels. 'ALL AROUND THE HOUSE. Charming Fancies and Fashions That Find Favor in the Household. “■White dinners” are the latest fad intro duced into fashionable society by those who feel that colored table decorations have been somewhat overdone. The china is the purest rhite royal Derby, while silver and cut crystal andelabra, vases, and dishes hold respect’\''’\ white candles with silver shades, snowy and silvery white bonbons, tied with white moire ribbon, which also fastens the dinner napkins. The buttonhole bouquets for ladi^ and gentlemen are white orchids, and white violets float in the finger bowls. White soups and meats preserve the unity of color, the dark viands being concealed in white sauces, and the white gi'apes and pale fruit are tied with ribbon of the same hue.

The grain of the wood simply gilt is another kind, as well as enameled fi’ames. It is an excellent plan to cover old gilt frames with the white enamel. The artistic world is beginning to have wooden frames, too, stained in deep red or empire ^'een tones, and very exquisite are those which are not only d y ^ and gilt, but ornamented in sub dued metallic coloring. Copper frames are another revival. Walnut frames and burnt wood frames are new—at all events, as at present treated. _________ T a b le a n d B e d L in e n . The marking of table and bed linen is an important and interesting occupation, in which there is opportunity for the exercise of good taste; for the ways of doing it are legion, from common marking ink and col ored cross stitch to the daintiest of embroi dery stitches. Some people have a happy knack of writ ing or printing with exquisite neatness and grace with common marking ink. For those who are not so fortunate it may be advisable to invest in a thin stencil plate or stamp, which :is inexpensive and easy to use. Always do the marking in the same corner and in the same direction, and In the matter of ink, use the best. Unless linen is to go through the hands of a fine laundress, it is better to have it quite sim- I)le. Frills are very pretty v/hen new, but they are a great deal of trouble, and bad fluting is‘disastrous to them. Nothing can be prettier than the open hem stitched patterns so fashionable just now. Even the very simplest produce a good effect; the coarser linen, such as tea cloths, etc., can be improved by drawing out some threads and running with fast dye colored threads. The store of laundered linen will be very attractive if each pile of things, such as pil low cases, doilies, afternoon tea, sideboard and ti-ay clpths and napkins, Is tied up with colored ri’Dbons or tapes. 3 Iin c e M e a t fo r t h e S e a s o n . With many housekeepers the mince pie season begins at or befoi’e Thanltsgiving; others prefer to delay the making of the de lectable comix)und until the approach of Christmas. A good recipe, however, is in order, for mince meat will keep a long time and is a “handy thing” to have in the house in case of extra demands on the larder. For a reasonably rich mince meat chop one pound of salt beef or tongue, one pound of beef suet, two pounds of raisins and four pounds of apples, and add two pounds of currants, a quarter of a pound of citron, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one of mace, a small pinch of cloves, one pound of sugar and one quart of cider. The moat should be boiled until ten der and chopped while hot, the raisins stoned and the suet freed from skin and fiber before the}’' ai*e chopped. Mix the spice with the sugar and suet; when they are well mingled, turn into a deep pan, add the fruit and cider, and set on the fire until it is heated through. Part of the mince should be sealed up in glass jars, but as much as will be used up in three or four weeks will keep nicely if put in a stone Jar and set a->vay in a cold place. Cwbbage F r i e d w i t h C ream . Chop a quart of cold boiled cabbage, fry it fifteen minutes with sufficient butter or drip pings to prevent burning, season it highly with pepper and salt, and stir into it half a cupful of cream or of milk vrith a teaspooa- fuiof flour mixed with it; let it cook five minutes lougei', and serve it hot. G lazed T u r n ip s . Pare a dozen small turnips, boil them ten der in boiling water and salt, dry them on a towel, put them over the fire in a saucepan containing a tablaspoonful of butter and a teaspoonful of sugar, and shake the saucepan occasionally until they are brown; serve hot.
