THE WHITE LACE FANJ “Twenty-five shillings, ma’am," the assistant answered, referring to the small ticket which hung to the elegant fan upon the counter. “What is the price of it 3” Nina. Car- rol asked eagerly. “Twenty-five shilling! Oh, dear! Then of course I can’t afford it.” And Nina laid down the pretty trink- et and walked slowly out. of the 8110p. She was a sparkling, black-browed brunette, with great, languid eyes, a mouth like wave-wet coral, and a shy, hewitehing way which gentlemen called charming 1nd Indies couldn’t appreci- ate at all. Miss Philpotts was just about to he married, and! she had ask- ed Nina to be her second bridesmaid: the other bridesmaids had given" such elegant wedding-giftsâ€"and Nina, girl- like had no wish to he hehindhand. “That white lace fan, with the lav- ender silk lining and the pearl sticks, would have been the very1 thing,” said Nina to herself. “Oh, dear, what a wretched thing it is to he poor! And what will Mr. Fortescue think if I give Nellie nothing on earth but a twoâ€"and-sixpenny handkerchief l" Mr. Forteseue was the name of the gentleman who was to be “best man’ at the weddingâ€"a handsome young graduate with an auburn mustache, a head of curly Saxon hair and laugh- ing eyes, and whom: the girls all liked and Ninaâ€"well, she liked him, too â€"â€" just a little. At all events, she was anxious to stand well in his eyes, and from this, quite as much as from her affection for the bride-expectant, Bprang her desire for the white lat-e fan with the lavender silk lining and the carved mother-of-pearl sticks. For Allie Mortimer had given a. gold watch and chain, and Esther Ames a silver smelling bottle with a diamond-stud- ded stOpper. “I must give something decent!” said Nina, (ompressing her cherry lips together; and she mm, m be: grim old grandam-1e, “Uncle Leopold,” she said, “can you aware me a sovereign?” Uncle Leopold turned upon her a. sharp and withering alunce. “You know, child, I cannot.” said he, “Money isn’t SU plentiful with the Carrols that sovereigns flutter through the day like sparrows. 1 gave you half a sovereign the day before yesterday.

The doubtful coin quiver- ed in his indignant fingers like an aspen leaf upon its stem. The bookkeeper, a fat, middle-aged woman, looked round, and said: “It, was Miss Chgrnock flax-ow, beâ€" cause she remarked on its brightness when she paid it over.” “Call Miss Charnock at once.” mut- tered the proprietor. “The coin is bad!" And Amy Charnock came. “Counterfeit? 0, Mr. Taxley, that, cannot possibly be! I took it from an elegant young lady.” “Can you desoribe {her i” Amy hesitated. “She was very pretty. with black eyes and hair.

As she hastened along, too deeply absorbed in these sm'mwful reflecâ€" tions to take any note of the outer world, she stumbled acrainst some one. It was a gentleman, and the light of the street lamp shone plainly on his face as he lifted his. h'Lt and spoke the customary phrase: “I beg your pardon 1” But Amy C'harnock stopped him. “1â€"1 surely am not mistaken." she said falteringly. “You are the gen- tleman who was with the lady who bought the lave fan? Don’t you re- member me, sir? I am the girl who sold the fanâ€"at Newtnp Taxley’s.” "I do remember now,” said Mr. For- tesoue, supremely puzzled. “But may I askâ€"” ls “UL. ”I don’t wonder you are puzzled at my strange address,” Amy interrupt- ed, \xillh. a little hystoriral laugh.

Perhaps the most foolhardy feat on record was that of a French cabinet maker named Paul Parmentier. who. while drinking in a. wine shop in the Rue Keller, in Paris, a short time ago offered to lay a. wager of five francs that he would jump out of a. fourth floor window without hurting him- Treating the offer as ajoke his comrades accepted the bet, but were horrified when Parmentier rushed in- to the road, and, climbing up [our flights of stairs to his own mum. threw himself into the street. lie was pick- ed up with his left leg broken and seri- ously injured internally. A short time ago the circus at Bul- tnn, England, was the scene; of an ex- citing Incident, 3 Im'ul barber, nam- ed Settle, having undertaken to shave a man in the hon’s den. The event duly came off. The building: was crowded to excess, and the barber, attired in all his tonsoriul hztbiliments, complet- ed the task amid the most profound ex- citement.
