Not that Stormer was an ideal neighbor! Far from it. He kept hens. It is enough to have a man fling adverse politics at you over the garden fence, without his hens following them to scratch up the last thing you have planted. Still, Stormer had his good points. He was a widower, and he had no ~nild‘ren. losinu 01 Bflfllfifll’s BflDY. Those facts were links between us, so to speak, and we rubbed along with- out any serious friction till Stormer thoughtlessly died of apoplexy, and left me to race the ordeal of new neigh- bors. Can my horror be described when these turned up in the shape of a young couple and’ ababy? If there is one thing in the world 1 cannot Stand, it is a equalling baby. And they all squall, no matter what their mOthers say to the contrary! For forty years I had done my best to keep clear of that nuisance, and succeeded pretty well. Now, all owing .to Stormer, it had landed virtually on my very doorstep. For what signi- fies a three-feet high wall between your garden and the one next door? It doesn’t keep out either sight or sound. It had not kept out Stormer’s hens. I felt morally certain that it would not for long keep out Bourner's _baby. They were irritatingly friendly, those 1 Bourners. Scowl and growl as I; lmed, they never. seemed to take it' seriously. Such a pair for laughing and Singing and taking the world as a .

Every-! thing turned out just as blackly as 1' h tel [0 es entrm Ln .eg “n n_,. .. hon"; ever I went into my garden for a“ quiet smoke and read, there were those two in theirs, and they would at on the wall and chatter like two, magpies.

I glanced at the shop; the doorway was crowded with goods in such a manner as to render the in- terior invisible. I glanced up the street and down the street. Nobody was near; nobody was looking. Then I grasped the handle of the perambula- tor and wheeled it smartly round acor- ner close by. I came very near to upsetting it, but my lucky szar Was in the ascendant, and that catastrophe was averted. With! a grim chuckle. of was averted. With‘ a grim cnucsie or: way rejoicing. It was perfectly safe,I argued, and would be found sooner or later. In the meantime there would be afuss and ascare, and afew of my wrongs would be amply yet secretly avenged. g I proceeded home ina leisurely fash- ion, like one making the very most of the mild air and slanting sunshine. As I heard my own gate Mrs. Bourner came flying out of hers, her hat all was a queer catch in her voice dreadful thing has happened! That ’wretched, careless girl has lost the baby! Actually she went into a shop land leit him at the door, and when she came out he was gone. Somebody SBI'iOUSly, 1 DUI-R5, may...” of or crime, and violence. and anarchy?” .I had meant: to frighten her, but I did not calculate the exact result. She turned as white as death, and clutched at me to steady herself. “You do not thinkâ€"0h, surely, sure- ly nobody would hurt him, our sweet little baby! But they shall not! I will and him, no matter where he may And away she went like a mad I followed at my best pace. It would have looked badly to go in and get tea as if nothing had happened; be- sides, I wanted to see the end of the business, and have the full benefit of my little scheme. I soon overtook Mrs. Bourner, for she was stopping nearly every one she met to make inquiries of them. She accepted my offer to assist in the search with tears of gra- titude, and alittle farther on we came upon the luckless nurse girl, narrat- ing her tale of woe to ahuge and solemn policeman. She was surrounded by a sympathetic crowd, volunteering ing all sorts of infallible recipes for findinglust babies, bloodhounds being the most prominent. thing. The sight of the man in blue gave me an uncomfortable sensation. I had not counted on the law having its finger in this pie of mine. Sup- pose some one accused me of stealing the baby! It would be horribly awk- ward, for it was too late now to try to pass my action off as apractical joke. Imagine me, James Girder, the chief member in the Union Club, put in the dock to answer acharge of baby-snatching! My flesh" crept at the However, the situation had to be faced; so I marched boldly up to the officer and asked his Opinion as to what had become of the baby. He gazed about him, anévcuffed a little boy's ears before replying. Then he said: The crowd made way in admiring awe, and he went off. The boy of cuffed ears weepingly suggested that being “off" was the officer's normal condition, and this remark found sup- port when the object of it was well ou_t ofAhearing. ' “Anything might hate happened to it.” Sensation. “I’m gonng; off. 1’11 re- port it.” i The baby was gone, perambulator gand all! If ever Nemesis overtook a :man, it was on this occasion. Up to éthis point I had never taken the baby itself into cgmsideration. I had count- ed upon its perfect safety; it was my ,own good name that had seemed im- periled. Horrible visions now rose be- 3fore me. I fancied I realized Mrs. EBourner’s feelings, and remorse fasten- 4ed me with- tiger claws. Deprived of the policeman, the by- standers made us a centre of attrac- tion. More and more kept flocking after us; to my excited fancy every eye turned upon me, and the dread of a possible witness to my deed increased. Still I kept cool. I took afive dollar bill from my pocket and held it :up. "This to the person who finds the baby ” I said, and 101 in ten seconds the throng melted and we were left alone. She obeyed, with sobs and groans, and starting from the shop door I made several strategic movements, leading finally to the archway where I had bestowed the sleeping cherub. Yes, I, who had deliberately hidden it, was now voluntarily about to restore it. In fact, strange as it may seem, I absolutely longed to see it in its mother's arms. I was haunted by one ominous wordâ€"baby-snatcher! “Now show your mistress and me the exact spot where you left the bahy,” 71 ordered the nurse girl. I stepped confidently into the dark arch. I stared into its depths; I groped along its walls. Then I, me- taphorically, fell in aheap. I will not seek to describe my suf- ferings during the next two hours. Between mental anxiety and bodily weariness, for we scoured the town from .end to end. I was on the verge of collapse. As. for Mrs. Bourner and the maid, their grief and terror kept increasing every mornent. ‘1 ,1‘, v- v“...â€" “It is not as though baby could walk and had strayed away himself," the former kept saying. “Some one has taken him. and they must have had a motive.

I had barely got her to her own. door- step when a hum of voices and a scuf- fle of feet mingled with a loud and familiar wail, reached our ears. Mrs. Bourner lifted her head, gave a low, intense sort of cry, and dashed down the garden path into the heart of a small crowd that had just reached the gate. The next minute she was strain- ing her baby to her breast and. sob- bing and laughing likea person de- mented. . .

The custom of wearing mourning is Slightly in abeyance, but by no means done away with. Many people in mod- erate circumstances, content them- selves with dressing simply in black and laying aside all ornaments for a Year instead of adopting the conven- tional mourning garb. But “wearing black” is not neces- sarily dressing in mourning. Certain materials and modes are set apart as belonging exclusively to mourning. In dress material Henrietta and En- dora cloths are recognized fabrics for first mourning. They are the dead jet black that is required for mourning, for ablue black or brown black are absolutely impossible for this pur- pose. The Eudora cloth is much like Henrietta, but is heavier and of adif- ferent weave. Both are soft in finish and are especially suited to the styles of the current year, which are soft and clinging. Eudora makes the best street gowns, and in coat and skirt a costume of this material is very smart. All trimming is out of place, unless it is milliner’s folds on skirt and revers. Machine stitching does not look well on these goods. If buttons are used on the coat they should be covered with the dress material. The merchant of whom the material is bought will usually send a piece to a button-maker and have the required number made. The present styles call for a coat of medium length, either double-breasted or buttoned on aflap; it should have narrow revers that open a little at the throat, and have turn- ed over, pointed cuffs. For a business suit or every day street wear, in short for general ser- vice, serge and cheviot are suitable. N o figured goods are mourning remem- ber. Be careful that the color is a dead black. It is always wise to get samples and compare them at home, in a strong light. They are made uP like the Eudora More elaborate mourning gowns, to be worn on ceremonious occasions, are of mourning silk. This is a silk that is absolutely lustreless, and the trim- ming used on it is dull jet. No white is allowed anywhere, unless for even- ingiâ€"wear, wh'en folds of white tulle, are sometimes put round the neck, and black tulle or net sleeves used. E03 WIDOVVS’ \VEAB. \Vidows wear sheer white collars and cuffs, even in the first six months of mourning, and a little white ruching in the bonnet. Veils, crape, are worn the first six months, and then laid aside for face veils of net with crape border. Widows, however, generally wear the crape veil for a year. Crape is better than it used to be. It cannot be said to be less expensive, but it is better in quality, is lighter, and has not so much? dressing as formerly. It is used a great deal as trimming, but is not durable and collects dust. It is better to use it in a veil and trim gowns with milliner's folds of the dress goods or of mourning silk. Mourning styles are characterized by a plainness that amounts to severity. Jewelry is tabooed. Flowers, even in NJ}. J. McKechme. PROPER MOURNING APPAREL N., G. J. MCKECHNIE.

"I should recommend as an invest- mvnt,” said Mr. Gobblehy, “the prac- tice of civility. As a matter of fact, I don’t suppose that a very great num- ber of men have suddenly become weal- thy through this means; that. is, ldon't suppose that a large number of very rich people have left fortunes to men who had been at one time or another polite to the-m, but I don’t doubt, eith- er, that there have been just‘ such cases, and I don’t for a moment doubt that substantial advantages have often accrued to men through their consistent civility. “But aside from any question of material profit. though there is still al- ways the chance of that the exercise of civility would pay for another reason. There are lots of people who like civil treatment, who are, in fact, really pleased by it, and though we might not get anything in dollars and cents out of civility extended in this way to- ward people in general, yet: I should say it would pay, for we should get from it, at least, the pleasure that is always to be derived from affording pleasure to others. “So I should say that from whatever point. of view we look at it, civility is a good investment; we are sure to get something out of it, anyway, and it doesn’t cost us a cent."
