Be- sides, she had so to speak, grown up at Matthew’s knee, he having stood to her and her brother in loco parenâ€" tis for something like twelve yearsâ€" ever since Matthew’s best beloved friend, Howard Joy, took his invalid wife away 'for a sea voyage, leaving his two children in the good care of a maiden aunt, and his business affairs in the safe hands of Matthew Halliâ€" day, bankerâ€"ever since the good ship Aurora went down in a fearnt gale in the \Vest Indies. Aunt Patty tried to do her duty by the children thus bereft, but she was one of those dear, .dumpy, yielding spinsters born to be the prey of youthâ€" ful vandals. The young people loved her dearly, ruled her ruthlessly, and ' laughed at her little code of laws for .the order of their being. _ It was at her hysterical behest that Matthew stepped in at this juncture and took the reins of government. It was he who planned the education of the children, and who, deaf to their I wailings, kept them steadily to their tasks. It was he who made their holi- days glorious and gave them splendid rewards of merit. But now the term. of Matthew’s self- lmposed guardianship was over. HOWâ€" mrd Joy, Jr., had made a successful start in the world, and was quite ready to give dear old Mat any pointers he needed about life in general. As.for Miss Evelyn Russell Joy, as she invariably and unabbreviatingly subscribed herselfâ€"whom Matthew tailed. " Eve,” or oftener, " Miss Idle- Wild "â€"well, she, too, had made asucâ€" cessful start in life after the manner of girls. She was 19, just half my age, Mattherw often dismially reflected; she had. charm with all its power of win- ning love, she was coquctte to the finger tips, and she was most fair to Ice. Besides all this, she was a little bit of an heiressâ€"and many» swains tame riding by. Matthew watched all this with a patient sort of despair. Fool! he call- ad himself with very hearty self~con- tempt. A girl who patronized, coaxed, leased or snubbed him as though he were an elderly relative! The man who would subdue this " Dear Lady Dis- iain” was some dashing hero who Would take her heart by storm. She walked over him. with ruthless little feet, and he was her patient, idoring slave. Dreading her ridicule, ind desiring above all things to preâ€" iervc the status quo, wherein be en- ryed a certain miserable species of appiness, he had never spoken aword if love to her. She frankly told him all her love Lffairs, often. innocently, stabbing him with her confidenoes, and beguiled him, 2r bullied him, into disposing of her ido-rers when they became troubleSOme, [‘his she required: him to do by virtue at his whilom- guardianship, the pres- tige of which she carefully preserved ‘lor such occasions. She was the more dependent on Mat- lhcw in such matters, as Howard was Itraightâ€"laced, somewhat of a prig. ind very severe on her frivolities. It was to quash a darling plan of his pretty sister that he stalked into Matthew’s office one morning, his brow wrinkled in a protentous frown. “Mat,” he said abruptly. " It seems :0 me Evelyn has been spending money like the deuce lately. Haven’t you been letting her draw her interest ahead if time 7" Matthew rcddencd guiltily. He still lad charge of Evelyn‘s finances, though- ihe Joy property had been divided and Howard had drawn out his share. ” Sometimes she has anticipatedâ€"a little,” he said, slowly, " but it is no great matter." "But it is very bad for her," said Howard, with a parental air. "You mowi yourself, Mat, she has no more deal of business thian'a butterfly. She iught to learn to live ‘within her in- me. And she is becoming quite veckless about money matters and- ither things." Matthew pricked up his ears. “What vther things 3" “ Well, to tell you the truth, I think ihe has got into a rather fast sot."

Miss Idle;- wild, with an air of mystery. "I can not let you have any money just now, Eve," he said gently, af er a pause, and as he! spoke be carefully avoided her eye and stared with rapt absorption at the carpet. “Hui, MaHhew. I haven’t any mon- ey,” she said piteously, half laughing, half embarrassed, “and Howard is so [mean he will not lend me any.

"It is wrong for me to allow you to do this." "But now, when I want it so bad. ly. It is cruel to refuse me now. I will economize after this, Matthew. I will, indeed.” Poor Matthew found it ;hard not to yield to her, but Howard’s iwords, "fast set," recurred to him, and he steeled himself against her pretty beseeching, ~ "Matthew. please,” she said after a .pause, with just a little tremble in her voice and an expression on her face which should have melted an iceberg. But Matthew was looking at the carpet. - Perhaps that was why he had. strength to say "No" again, and in such a way that Miss Idlewild knew that all her pretty pleading was wast- 'ed. Then, of course, she blazed up! in- to anger, her eyes flashing and checks hot with indignant feeling. I "Of course you can do as you, choose Iabout it,” she Said, which; was a rather Isuperfluous remark under the circum- :stances, "[ mean it only for the best, Eve,” he said sadly. "This unwise project -:-but here he stopped, rather horri- fied at himself for having nearly be- trayed Howard. . "That is my affair,” she interrupt- cd With terrible dignity. "Besides, you know nothing of the ‘project,’ whether it is unwise or not. It is the money you refuse me.” Matthew shivered and looked at the carpet very hard indeed. “Hereafter,” continued Miss Idle- l terribly iMight he ,not have even peace? was it that manner,” he said, with an of- â€"..________________________â€"-. was not to be disturbed. It was about fifteen minutes later, just as reading, when he heard the door bell ring, then quick footsteps running He did not say "Come in," but got up, with some irritation, and opened the door. It was Miss Idlewild, in evening dress, with a frothy-Looking Ipink thing over her head and Shouldersâ€"- laughing and out of breath. Now Matthew had been fathoms decrp in a formidable looking tomeâ€" trying to find'forgelfulness in_ study, and. moreover, he was very strict about matters of dlclconum. So he frowned at ,the apparition, lovely though it way, and hardened his heart. 1 “May I come in 1” she said demure- )7 Matthew looked at her unsanilingly still holdimg on to the door. ‘ "Abby is out," he said. "She has gone with some ladies for, a lecture." "Hnrw lively for her!" said Miss Idlewild rather quickly. Apparently she was her old self this evening. “Perhaps you had better go into the sitting mom," said Matthew, in a tone which he meant to be at once pio’ife and crushing. The girl laughed, not The abfl°h9d. and made a little bow. "Your hmpitality owrwhclms me," she said mockingly. "\Vhyi not invite me to sit in the hnll‘l" “Come in,” said Matthew, shortly, dropping his, hand from the door. \Vas she laughing at his misery? least his angry reflection. "It was. what dreadful Beecher.” she said confidentially. "I had bribed Perkins not to admit him, but of course, Howard happened to l.‘6 at the door when he rang, and so I was iin for it. Howard is soâ€"so liberal. So I_ fled im desperation. That. dread- ful boy! He is waiting for me now. I guess he thinks I'm Drinking." "Did youcome over here with no wrap but that flimsy thing 9" asked Mal-thew, looking his vorry crossesl‘. “Yes, grandmother.” This was what ,she called Matthew when he lectured ' her.

"I beg your pardon, Matthew," she said, lcrckmg a little brightened. “It was only in fun." Then he said: "You will take cold going back. I will send for a shawl. and ne rang the bell as he spoke. "I won’t have any shawl,” saidI Miss Idlcwiid, pettishly. "First you re- ceive me as if I were a chimney sweep then you scold me for a mere harm- wild, with a grand air, “I will manage, less jest, and now you want me to my own money matters. Then I will , know just how much I have and spend it as I please, without begging for it. I am of age, and I will not endure such treatment any longer.” lAll ‘this she said in anger, never dreamlng that long-suffering Mat; thew would take her at her word. .",Very well,” he said, and he was a little paler ’as he spoke. “I will take steps to this end at once. You will find I have not abused my trusti" Incensed as she was, Miss Idlewild’s head drooped with something like shamc at these words. : Never in her life had Matthew spoken to her like this, never before had she fell; abashed and frightened in his presence. A swnft sense of his fidelity and her own ingralzitude rushed over her. “Matthew!” she faltered, and she tom; a step forward, but he turned away. "You will pardon me if Ileavei you," he said formally, "‘I am very busy this morning." He held the door open for her, and Wlih burning cheeks sbe hurried out, and no work was spoken by ,either as they parted. Matthew could not have been so very busy, as he said, for after his9 ‘ , ViSitor was gone he sat there at his!

A huge gray shawl arrived per maid and he began to unfold; it, with a deter- mined cye. . i “l tell you 1 won't wear it," she said lplelulantly, but she was growxng [rather pink with apprehension as Mat- thew steadily advanced, the shawl out- spread in his hands. "I can’t think what- makes youi so unkind to me,” said Miss Idlewild, weakening and growing pathetic. "It was dreadful of me to speak to you as I did that day, but I’ve tried to show you that I was ‘sorry for it. It isn't fair to go on visiting that upon me. You treat me as iIâ€"«as ifâ€"” Here Miss ldlcwild paused, unable to proâ€" cecd, and turned her vface away. Matthew construed this as a base cziipitulatiorn to escape the shawl, so he was nut moved, by it. he said, "and I want you to wear this. Let me put it around you.” . "I won't have it l” she exclaimed, excitedly, tears gathering in her eyes. "Now, Evelyn," said Matthew grave- ly, "that is childish. It is a winter night.

The science and practice of bed mak- ing has undergone a radical change in the past few years. In newly done- over and decorated houses, nothing could be more impressive, more lux- uriOus and more radical in its depar- ture from the hitherto accepted laws of hygiene than the new beds. The model just now in the houses where antique mahogany sweeps ev- erything before it is the Georgian bed. Three could sleep, with an abundance of stretching room, in the area inclosâ€"‘ ed. by the four massive carved posts of one of these big couches and three mat- tresses are required to bring the sleeping platform up to the required and in w.nter on top of these reposes a mighty tick stuffed ‘full of the best white goose feathers. When these re- quirements are fulfilled the fullâ€"fledg- ed Georgian bed is dressed with great attention to detail and elegance. Old brocade edged with bullion fringe is used for the hangings and counterpane that sweeps the floor, and. the coat of arms of 'the owner is carved on the “NAB BOARD OF THE COUCH. It ,is not everybody who can lay hands on a genuine carved Georgian bed 00 dress i]. in antique brocade, but even the modern brass and iron bed or dress it in antique brocade, featherâ€"stuffed mattresses for. winter use are no longer a mere fashion but are. a general custom. For half a cen- tury the feather bed has been‘lookcd upon very coldly by experts in hygiene, but recently both with regard to the hangings. and the feather mattress, a change of heart has come and delicate, nervous neuralgia, rheumatic women and particularly elderly persons and those afflicted with insomnia have been recommended to take the feather bed cure in the winter. Queen Victoria is one of the shining proofs of the effic- uicy of the feather bed, for where she leather traveling jacket goes too, and always the curtains are drawn about the head of the bed to shut off the the head of the bed to shut off any draughts. Queen Victoria and her doc- tors believe that the proper way to sleep in winter is in a cold room luxurâ€" iously lapped in a nest of feathers that preserves all the heat of the body and necessitates in the coldest weather, a covering. of only one pair of blankets and a down quilt, The modern bed, so-ca lled hygienic, requires more heavy covering than a pair of tired shoulders can stand, and the hair mattress con- stantly dissipates the human heat in- stead of conserving it, besides drawing away that priceless force, human elec~ bricity; at least that is what advocates of the feather bed say. All this drain the feathers prevent, the easily yielding surface they present permits perfect relaxation of the mus- cles, that an never be gained on a bed of even the best hair. \Vith the com.- ing of the eighteenth ’centu-ry type of English bed the feather mattress was introduced and now there are numbers of women who h‘ave'not only learned their virtues but like the queen of England travel about with their beds done up in leather cases. Some of the rheumaticsand sufferers from cold feet have pronounced them- selves free from their afflictions when luxuriating A M'ONG THE FEATH ERS. Feather beds are coming 'into use as well in nurseries, and though for children the Georgian fourposter is not yet the fashion, the gayest beds are made -to chime in with the schemes of nursery decoration. Charmingly carved and painted wooden beds are newly in- troduced, else they have brass or some- timres silver let into the dark wood, in appropriate scenes and inscriptions. On the headboard of a light maple bed for example, will be painted a night scene of clouds across the moon, and a flight of owls; on the footboards a line of caroling cock greeting the sun ty- pifies morning. So prominent are the beds in hand- some sleeping rooms nowadays, that it is no wonder their clothing shows ‘all the art and lavish beauty and :of a‘fashionable woman‘s wearing ap- lparel. Sheets of especial fineness are ’ made with broad bands of drawn work running about the four sides, and lin- cn. lace whipped on the edges. The costly blankets are sent to a nee- dle woman before they are ready for use, to have their edges lightly scallop- ed and buttonholeâ€"stitched with silk {and a monogram worked in the cor- ners. Duvets covered with china silk {show u fluff of valenciennes frills and l pinked, flounccs about their edges, and the huge sham pillows used by day are upholstered exactly to accord with the :diivct.

The Sad Result of Over-taxing a Lit- tle One'i Mental Ability. “Speaking about precocious children," said a i-csidcnt of North Indianapolis a. few evenings ugo. "reminds me of an in- cident which occurred about three years ago in this locality. The family in ques- tion livin in a beautiful cottage home on Clifton street. The parents were well ed- ucated, and they had three children- two boys and a girl. The boys were rath- er slow, as the world Would term it, in their mental capacity, while the girl was unusually bright and precocious in her nature. The parents were very proud of her and taught her easy verses and sto- ries which she would i-cpcat ut the re- quest of her mother’s friends, who woo dci'ed at her brilliaucy. “At last the mother thought if she could touch her to repeat ‘Curfcw Shall Not Ring 'l‘oiiight’ with accuracy and proper expression she would accomplish a wonderful feat and her little 3‘ycul'-old tot would be the admiration of the entire city. So she sci about to accomplish the task and spent many long and weary days before the little one could repeat the poem. a task which is dillicult for one of mature years and much training as an elocutionist.
