Never since then have I seen a cosey cornerâ€"â€"which is not so much an article of furniture as a state of upholateryâ€" without wondering how many engageâ€" ments and blissful courtships, and how few marriages, it has been responsible for since its first appearance as an imâ€" portant factor in the social life of the Ltown. "There‘s never & law of God or man runs north of fiftyâ€"three," sang Kipling, referring to the latitude of the Harlem River; and the sentimental demoralizaâ€" tion that has long characterized the great region that lies to the north of that tributary may be traced directly to the introduction of the cosey . corner, The one that served as a setting for my sweetheart‘s charms was, 1 believe, the very first ever known above One Hunâ€" dred and Twentyâ€"lifth street. 1 had met the Cosey Corner Girl onee or twice in certain rather ordinary grooves of life which 1 frequenied at this time, and had admired her exceedâ€" ingly, but it was not until my first eall on her one Sunday evening at her Harâ€" "My daughter‘s a little late with her toilet, but she only just come in a few minutes ago from the park, where she‘s been driving with one of her genrulman friends. You live way down town, don‘t you? Yes? Then mebbe it was to the reception of the Mincola Pleasure Coteâ€" rie that you met my Mayme. There‘s a lot of grand gennulmen belongs to that, and I told my daughter to go right ahead when she asked me about joinâ€" ing. The only thing I‘m afraid of is that some on ‘em‘ll persuade her to go an‘ get married, same as most of her young friends is doin‘ just now." Women I‘ve Proposed To. I had never heard of the Mineola Pleaâ€" sure Coterie before, but somehow 1 did not like to hear of the attractive genâ€" tlemen who belonged to ‘that select social organization and went about persuading members of the other sex to marry them, It was the first time in my life th t I had felt the full witeuery of the Far East, with its barning drugs. soft drapâ€" eriss and colored lights; nor did the fact I thought the old lady a simpleâ€"minded, babbling fool, but now I know that there was art in her silly talk, and that 1 was the only fool in the room,. 1 was about to reply with cold dignity that 1 had never heard of the Mincola, when the little pigâ€"tailed girl, who had been stag»e managing _ the _ exhibition, suddenly threw open the folding doors and with a sharp scream of ‘Sister saya will you please step in," effaced herself from the scene. At the same moment the mother rose from her chair and noiselessly meltâ€" ed away behind me. C Never to my dying day sha‘l I forget the scene that met my gaze as [ made my way into the dimly lighted back parâ€" lor or the emotions that were stirred in my young heart as I gazed upon this Cosey Corner Girl, seated at the far end of the room in a sort of hutch formed of striped Bagdad curtains, hung tentwise over & great bulging divan and supportâ€" ed by two crossed spears. The hutch was further ornamented with a papier mache shield, covered with silver paper. Its shadowy depths were lighted by a wrought iron lamp of Oriental design, gay with panels of red glass, surrounded by iridescent jewels of the same maÂ¥>râ€" ial, At the side of the hutch stood a low stool, which I soon learned to call a tabourette, made of wood, inlaid with mother of pearl, and serving a# a reposâ€" itory for a cigarette tray and an ash reâ€" ceiver. The illusion of Orientalism was further carried out by burning incense sticks stuckâ€"in various crevices of the woodwork and bringing forcibly to mind the sort of life described in the ‘Arabian Nights." Seated in the very centre of this exotic bower was my Cosey Corner Girl, a lighted cigaretie glâ€"aming beâ€" tween her lips, her white arms syowing in the myst& eolored light, her hangles and bracelets rattling as she moved. and her feet, fantastically clad in high hee!â€" ed, sharp pointed slippers of scearlet lea ther, hanging down before her. _ THE COSEY CORNER GIRL.

She sidestepped literature with much skill, but she agreed with me | that Clara Morris just sent thrills down her back every time and that the poetry in "Led Astray," "There is another Life I long to meet," was just too sweet for anything. Looking back to it now from the sane eminence of middle life, it seems incomâ€" prehensible to me _ that I should have been so powerfully attracted by the jc"’“l‘}' Corner Girl.

As he withdrew I noticed that his hair did not lie quite as smoothly on his head as in the picture on the gilt easel, and that he wore a longâ€"tailed frock coat of a style that followed the cosey corner to Harlem, even as the school house follows the flag to our furthest possessions. In reply to rather close questioning on my part I learned that Mr. Wrigley was "stopping with us for a few weeks." and then I suddenly remembered that I had heard it said of flats that there was never one so small that did not contain at least one boarder. "In that case," I said to myself, "it must have been his cuffs and collar that I came across one day. 1t must be he who sleeps in the parlor bookease! In all probability he spends most of his spare time right here, with her, in this eosey corner!"

The Town of Galway, Ireland, is much agitated by the story of a strange apâ€" parition which is said to have been seen by some young _ meu on two recent nights, On Saturday, after duek, iwo young fellows who were walking into the town, along the railway line, were sudâ€" denly confronted by the strange visitor when within half a imile of Lneir des tination.

The party without delay made their way back to the town, where it is said that medical aid had to be summoned that medical ard had to be suramoned to the youthful hero of the revolver, By this time the story had been civrenâ€" lated all over the neighborhood, and on Monday â€" night another band, among whom were some students armed with big sticks, cantiously stole to the hidâ€" ing place, but though they waited and watched for hours, the ghost failed to appear, and they hbad to return near midnight, without having had the satisâ€" faction of "laying" it: Others in the town who state that they, too, had seen the strange visitor before Saturday, deâ€" scribe him a« "of a grayish color, cight feet high, and tapering towards the top." _ Rome of them credit him with jumping from the railway bridge into the Corrill, where he disappeared into the waâ€" tere, _ That he was not drowned is proved by the fact that he was seen by _ the vyouths Saturday night and by their friends on Sunday.â€"Correspondent, Lonâ€" don Standard, December. § | A Funny Family.
