"We," said Mona, gravely, "consider it a splendid residence; pray walk in, as you will come." * "You are horribly inhospitable," said Everard, laughing, and he followed her into the house. s# (On opening the door, Mme. Debrisay was discovered resting in an armâ€"chair, beside a table set for tea. Her bonnet lay on the floor beside her, and her thick and undeniably disordered black hair was uncovered. f She fancied the visit was a freeâ€"will offering of friendship to Mona, and she was highly delighted with the visitor. "Oh, indeed?" returned Everard. "I should not have thought it," â€""This is Bertie Everard." said Mona, quietly; "Evelyn‘s brother." "Very pleased to see him, I‘m sure," said madame, rising bravely to face the intruder, and not deigning to pick up her bonnet. "Your sister was one of my most charming pupiis."

They had gleams of diversion, too, for Mme. Debrisay had friends and acquaintâ€" ances of her own profession who often gave her tickets for concerts, and orâ€" ders for the theatre. These were amâ€" usements of which Mona had enjoyed but little during her residence with her grandmother, whose fixed principle it was never to pay for anything or the sort. They were a source of great enâ€" joyment, for Mona was peculiarly alive to beauty and harmony, and had someâ€" thing of the dramatic gift herself. With the exaggeration of youth, she reproached herself for being so slight and trivial as to forget too quickly the sorrows and disappointments of the byâ€" gone year. Of all the trials which had been crowded into a few months, the oftenest was her breaking with Leslie one which came back to her oftenest was hber breaking with Leslie Warâ€" ing. She always wished to hear of him, but he had passed away completely out of her life. Bertie Everard‘s remark respecting Lisle‘s admiration for herself dwelt long on her mind. There was a certain comâ€" fort in it; it soothed her wounded amour propre to know that she was not altoâ€" gether seliâ€"deceived,. But the impression of St. John Lisle was fast fading. Now and then in the i”k’ at the theatre, some soldier]i-loo ing man of fashion would remind her of him and she thought with a sigh of the difference between the style of such cavaliers and the orâ€" dinary toilers with wlom it was her lot to associate in future. Still she began to look at that future with less of fear than she did, and even ventured on a little castle building respecting a visit to Germany next year, for which she and Mme. Debrisay agreed to "save up," and not to dissipate any of their little store in a seaside trip this somewhat wet seaâ€" a long list of wedding presents, includâ€" ing "an Indian shawl from Her Majesty" â€"at the end of March, and her departure for a prolonged tour on the Continent, exE:ined her nonâ€"appearance. ndon is a great world. In no other place can any one be so successfully hidden; and though Mona moved about everywhere, with a freedom that was new and delightful to her, she never enâ€" countered her aristocratic relatives but once, when she saw Lady Mary and her second daughter driving down Piccadilly. She was, however, lost in the humble peâ€" destrian crowd, and passed unnoticed. __ Of course Bertie Everard forgot all about the orders; nor did Evelyn Fny the visit Mona looked for so eagerly; but the announcement of her marriageâ€"with A very hot July had driven away all Mme. Debrisay‘s pupils, save two or three. The ranks of Mona‘s were also thinned, and both were planning a course of needleâ€"work and reading during the approaching time of rest. ._____|_ _ . _ S e en e 2 O ‘The dog days had compelled their felâ€" lowâ€"lodger to muzzle the objectionable terrierâ€"which made him unusually ramâ€" pant when the torture was removed in the house.

The Union Laws of Caste. hX ONTARIO ARCHIVES f TORONTO A Clever Advertisement The indictment of Mrs. Charlotte P. Wood of 305 Webster avenue, Jersey City, as a comon scold has brought to the fore once again the State‘s old Blue Laws, which are still in force. Mrs. Wooi has pleaded not guilty and is yet to be tried. If Henry Austin and others who caused her inxfictment succeed in proving her fuilty, she will probably be put in jail for a short term or placed under bonds to be good. . The penalty for being a common scold used to be the ducking stool, but this feature of the law was repealed many years ago. Still the common scold law remains on New Jersey‘s statute books, as do many others of the old Blue Laws handed down by the early setlers. _ In other States these old laws have all or nearly all been repealed, and a few of them have been wiped off the New Jersey statutes, but as a whole the old Blue Laws of New Jersey still exist and are at intervals enforced. A few years ago District Attorney Charles H. Winfield, of Hudson county, proseâ€" cuted and convicted a woman who lived on the Hill in Jersey City of being a common scold. The old common scold law had not been brought up for years, but the womâ€" an was such a nuisance that some of her nighbors, in casting about for a means of suppressing her, heard of the old law and l;md it enforced. The scold Another case remembered about the court house in Jersey City is that of Joseph Vannblarcomb, a farmer _ of Berâ€" gen county. He visited Jersey City freâ€" quently and was so e(frof\lse in his proâ€" fanity that he gained the soubriquet of Swearing Joe. + was imprisoned for ten days. Some years ago he was arrested, conâ€" victedâ€"there were plenty of witnesses â€"and sent to jail for thirty days, But Joe promised to swear off swearing, and in some way got a mitigation of sentence tftfter four days and went back to his arm. In a volume of the statutes of New Jersey of 1833 many of these old laws can be found, and in a revision under an Act of April 4, 1871, a number of them were retained and are still on the statute books. Of these there is a law prohibiting "hunting on the Sabbath day, with §un or dog, or in any way takâ€" ing or killing any game, wild animals or fowl," under a penalty of $25 fine, oneâ€" half of which goes to the complainant and the rest to the poor of the town or county. To carry a gun on another‘s man land on any day except by the ownâ€" er‘s permission is an offence for which the owner can collect $5 and keep it all himself. Only milk and the United States mail are allowed to be carried through the State on Sunday, and Justice of the Peace are authorized to stop nn(fi canalâ€" boat or freight train on Sunday and hold it at lfim expense of the owner until the next day. This law also applies to droves of cattle, sheep, horses, swine, To drive a stage on Sunday, except in cases of necessity or mercy or to carry mail, is punishable by a fine of $8 or imprisonment. To drive an ordinary wagon or vehicle for the purpose of busiâ€" ness or pleasure costs $2. Fishing on the Sabbath with any seine, net, hook or line, whether you catch any fish or not, is punishable by a fine of $14 or imfrlsonment until it is paid. There must be no fishing after sunset on Saturday and until 12 o‘clock on Sunâ€" Then, so that there can be no mistake as to what one can and cannot do on the Sabbath, nearly all these offences are bunched in one ¢lause, which specifies "that no travelling, worldly employment or business, ordinary or servile work or labor, either upon land or water (works of necessity or charity excepted), nor shooting, fishing, sporting, hunting, gamâ€" ing, racing, or frequenting race tracks, or tippling houses, dancing, singing, fidâ€" dling or other music for the sake of merâ€" riment, nor any playing of football, nineâ€" pins, bowls, quoits or any other kind of pastimes, playing, sports or diversions" is to be indulged in on the Sabbath day, under a penalty of $1 fine for each ofâ€" fence, the money to go to the poor. Citizens who obscerve the seventh day day night. The man who so far forgets himself as to ‘swear or use grofane la: in the preschce of a Justice of m.i‘eeace while in the execution of his office may at once be convicted by the Justice withâ€" out any further testimony," ana either fined for the benefit or the poor or imâ€" prisoned for four days. Another law makes the toll roads free to persons goâ€" ing to funerals, to Sabbath worship or to any religious meeting. _ Citizens who observe the seventh aay of the week, or Saturday, as a day of worship are exempt from answering to any process in law and equity as defendâ€" ant, witness or g'luror, except in criminal cases, and if such a person is brought beâ€" fore a justice for committing an of the offences named against the Sl.bglth, or first day of the week, he shall be disâ€" charged on proving that Saturday is his day of worship.

A former prosecuting officer of Jersey City said recently that these old laws would have no doubt been appealed .ong ago had the State had a constitutional convention.

The majority of them have simply beâ€" come obsolete, and are rarely enforced, and then it is only where some citizen hn.p;lhlem to think that one of them will fit his gricvance and give him redress when everything else has failed. "That common scold law is a good one, and perhaps to revive the practice of ducking scolds would make it more efâ€" fective. These laws could be abused, but the courts are very careful about them, and they are rarely enforced except in extreme cases."
