UNT riCKLBBUHY was
an did iLiald. Not that old
maids need, of necesnlty to
be lu anywise different
from the rest of the world.
Ouly Aunt PlcMebnry was different.
She bad, aa It were, a velu of original*
|tj running through ber. Slie liked to
jirear ber brocbe abawl wrong side out,
and to tie ber ribbons askew, and to
put tbe flowers on tbe rigbt hand aide
of ber bonnet, while all the world waa
wearing theirs on the left hand aide.
And the could afford .to cultivate aa
large\ a crop, of peculiarities as she
pleased, for Aunt Picklebury had
money. It had been part of her pecu
liarity to emigrate West and buy lands
Just when all ber relative* were lo
cated in a snug little Eastern town.
"Are jou crazy. MelissaV" her mar
ried sister had plaintively demanded.
"No," Miss Picklebury had answered,
**but I want breathing rooTa."
Tbe landa had risen in value with
almost fabulous rapidity; the West
ern settlement bad growu iuto a young
city, and Mlaa Melissa Picklebury was
rich.
She sat knitting, with a magazine
open on her lap, one bright October
morning, when Harry Hayden came
In. tbe junior member of the firm of
Hoyt St Hayden. who transacted Miss
Melissa's legal business.
"Crying. Miss Picklebury?" he ex
claimed, cheerily. "Why, what on
earth Is tbe matter?"
"Waa I crying?" asked Miss Pick
lebury, somewhat shamefacedly.
"Well, you couldn't help It yourself.
Harry, If you had beeu reading this
story. It's by my literary niece?the
prettiest little thing you ever saw."
"The story, or the niece?"
"Tbe story, pf course. I never saw
my literary niece, but I dare say she
Is rawbooed and sallow, with boles in
the elbows of ber frock and grease
spots on ber apron. But she writes
well: there's no denying that. I read
all'ber papers, and I almost alwaya
laugh and Cry over them. It'?' a great
talent, Harry."
"So It Is," assented the young man,
carelessly. v.
"I have wriefrfe Kast for one of ray
sister's girls Atk come And stay with
tne," said'Aunt Plcklebtfry: *f told
them to forward b?r by express. She'll
Ik* Jlere tbls afternoon. ? I want yon
to ap to the office and meet her."
"Hie literary- niece?" said Harry,
laughing. ?//
"floofltiea* fOrbld!" said Aunt Pick
lebury, with a grimace. "I want no
Ink spots on my chintz bedroom furni
ture. and fine frenzies about sunsets
and autumn leaves and things. I wrote
to Polly to send me a homespun, sen
sible girl, that would be a companion
to me; not a full-fledged fashionable
young lady."
"All right." said Mr. Hayden.
Miss Picklebury looked after the
young man as he strode away over tlie
dend drifts of yellow leaves that lay
In tbe road.
"A ulce young fellow, that." said
she to herself, "with no nirs and graces
about him. I like him. Perhaps"?
Miss Picklebury was by no means free
from the feminine trait of cnstle-bulld
1ng?"he will fall In love with my sen
sible nieee. If be does, be shall have
my blessing."
The niece by express arrived that
night just as Miss Picklebury was sit
ting down to tea. She was slight and
graceful and dark eyed, with a clover
pink complexion, and a laughing, dim
pled month. Aunt Picklebury liked
the looks of her.
"What is your name, my dear?" she
said.
"Clara," svid tbe newcomer.
"You nre very pretty," s;?ld Miss
Picklebury. "I think I shall like
you."
"And I know I shnll like you. Ann*
Melly," snld ('Inrn with n great bug of
tlx* old lady's plump, cushiony form.
"I,et nie see." said Miss Picklebur;-:
?"there are three of you?the literary
one, the school teaching one. and the
sensible one."
"I hope we nre all sensible, aunt."
snld Clara, coloring a little.
"I hope so, too." said the old lady;
"but I have my doubt* on tbe subject.
I am afraid of lilerary folks, and I
don't like scbooluia'ams. Can you
sew?"
"Ob. yes. aunt dear.**
"And darn stockings, and put on
neat patches, and mend linens?" <
"Of course I cat.."
"C'nn you cook?"
"I'll show you to morrow, Aunt Mel
ly." *
"Oh." snld Miss Picklebury. "I've
an Men that the literary one and the
school teaching one are rathet Inef

"Indeed, aunt, you are quite mistak

"Oil. well, never inlnd all that." sabl
Miss Picklebury. "Only I'm glad your

"Isn't she charming. Harry?" Ann*

Aad so he came autnmn evenlnga

one evening.

"Well. 1 shall not try." said Hay den.
laughing. "To tell you the truth. Clara.
I have always had a holy horror of
authoresses." ,
"Very complimentary to my sister.*'
said Clara, pouting a little.
And of course Harry had to pacify
her. and Just then Bridget called Miss
Plcklebury Into the kitchen, nnd when
she came back the young ppople had
great news to tell her. They were en
gaged!
"Ah!" said Miss Plcklebury, rubbing
her nose with her knitting needle. "I'm
glad to hoar It. I knew my sensible
niece would be appreciated here in
the West."
Mrs. Squire Seaberry came to the
office of Hoyt & Hayden the next
morning.
"Oh. Mr. Hayden, ? said she. "such
a star as I hope to secure for my re
ception to-night! A real, live author
ess. And to think that she has been
living incognito among us for so long!"
"Whom are you alluding to?" asked
the puzzled lawyer
"Miss Courtenay, of course. Annie

"Ob, yor are mistaken." Raid our lie.

"Annie ( lara Courtenay," distinctly
enunciated Mrs. Seaberry, wisely nod
ding her bead. "Don't you see? An

signature."
Harry Hayden went to the Pickle
berry mansion as soon as be could
decently get rid of Mrs. Squire Sea
berry.
"Clara," ssld he, "what Is your flrsi
name?"
Miss Courtenay colored scarlet.
"Annie." she answered. "Why?"
"Because." said he. dryly. "I have
just .discovered that Miss Picklebury's
sensible niece is slso her literary
niece."
Clara hung down her head.
"Harry, are you very angry with
me?"
"Not a bit. Didn't I tell you I was

"You see," pleaded Clara. "Susie lias

Harry Hayden. laughing.

EithanfM Opened by Queen*.
When Queen Victoria opened thr
Hoy a I Exchange, In 1844, it was not
the tlrst time that a Queen had per- j
formed this office, says the London
t'hronlcle. Queen Elizabeth opened
the first exchange, founded by tires
liani in 1570; and very quaint in com
parison with any modern account of
the Victorian ceremony is Stow's ol<l
description: "The Queen's Majesty,
attended with her nobility," lie writes
"came from her house at the Strand
called Somerset House ? ? ? to Sir
Thomas Gresham's house in Bishops
Kate street, where she dined. After
dinner. Her Majesty entered the burse
on the south side, and after that she
had viewed every part thereof above
the ground. especially the pawn ? ?
she caused the same burse, by a her
aid and trumpet, to be proclaimed from
thenceforth, and not otherwise." The
word "pawn," of course, is the tlermau
"b. ???." the Dutch "baan." meaning
"pail:way." "Burse," of course, is the
ii "Bourse" and tlermau "Bursa."

There Is no doubt about It; the flat

That Is. for millinery. lVcmnse of its

The all lace bolero comes In nicely

REALM
That It Is more difficult for a blonde
to dress becomingly than a brunette
la the dictum of a celebrated artist.
He bases his opinion partly on the
fact that blondes nearly always at
tempt delicate blues and presume to
wear Ivory white, whereas, "only
blondes with perfect complexions
ought ever to attempt pale blues."
and "only the fairest and best cared
for blondes should risk Ivory whites.
?II others had best cling to cream
tints."
Brunettes, It appears, have all the
warm tones to select from?red, or
ange, yellow and a few of the purples
ind blues. Blondes must pick their
gowns from the cool tones?the pinks,
greens and violets, and black and
white. Pink, which nearly every
woman over forty seems possessed to
wear, is "a shocking telltale, revealing
the ravages of time In the crudest
wsy. Whenever the concealment of
?ge Is a consideration, it should be
avoided."
Yellow Is also a deadly color if worn
near fair hair. It robs It completely
of its color and lustre. Pink and red
are both trying when vorn In juxta
position to the face, though of tbe two
It is preferable to wear them above the
face rather than about tbe neck. Dark
purples, blues and greens should be
Bvoided by women who have a ten
dency to be haggard, with dark circles
under the eyes and hollow cheeks.
White and black gowns, wheu success
fully designed, are about the most be
?oming gowns a woman cau wear, this j
artist says lu conclusion.
SmoothoM* of Complexion.
A woman desires smoothness of com
plexion as well as fairness. She can
have neither without a thorough
cleansing both within and without.
Not only must face, hands, throat,
neck and arms be thoroughly washed,
but she should drink water. man,v
glasses a day. that digestion may be
tided, impurities carried off and the
ikin rendered free from blemish, says
the Housekeeper. This water should
be spring water or good pure drink
ing water. It should not be Iced and
?hould be taken between meals. At
large sanitariums every patient is giv
en a glass of warm water a half hour
before meal time to aid digestion, and
half of the virtue In the various spas
lies in the fact that tbe visitors drink
the water freely. To obtain hot wa
ter at a given time and to be method
ical In drinklug is not always conven
ient. but the woman who desires a
smooth complexion will begin with a
Class of cold water the first thing in
the morning and will take four or Ave
glasses before luncheon. A correspond
lug number should be taken in the af
ternoon and one or two glasses upon
retiring. Water drinking is one- of the
latest cures recommended by physic
ians for rheumatism, hut care must
always be taken that the water Is
pure, not too cold aud not taken at
meal time.
Doing Awajr With Hid* Saddlm,
Little Princess Victoria of Wales,
granddaughter of Kins Kdwnrd. is be
ing taught to riite horseback according
to the "new style," which means that
the cross seat has been selected for
her. Itoyal patronage implies much
in Kngland. and the fact that it ap
proves of the use of the man's saddle
by women will eventually count for
more in doing away with the side sad
dle than if a dozen of the most prom
inent horsewomen in the country
should adopt the former. Princess Vic
toria's riding costume includes a kilt
?d shirt and a double-breasted reefer,
und when she Is astride of her pony
the skirt hangs neatly on both sides.
The Prinze and Princes* of Wales are
a very sensible couple, and It is not
at all likely, says the Sportswoman, in
the Illustrated Sporting News, that
they would permit their daughter to
ride astride If they did not wish it to
be understood that the new fashion
of e?|uestration had their hearty ap
proval. Following so closely on the
appearance on Itottou How of the di
vided skirt, the latter's vogue is as
sured.
K reft It Wedding Finery.
The bridw is search of novel effects
can borrow nil idea from a wedding in
New York City.
The cloudy tulle of the bridal veil
and soft white draperies of the mar
riage gown were further enhanced by
the treatment of the Ivory-bound
prayer l>ook which the bride carried
in place of a bouquet in the church.
Her prayer book was equipped with
double "markers." yards of wide satin
ribbon, which hung down in two long
streamers from the book held In her
hand as she went up the aisle ou her
father's arm.
The bouquet was in readiness, but
not lined at all In the church, and was
only assumed on rcua inline the mater
nal mansion. The bride held It in her
left hand as she stood by her husband
to welcome the guests who crowded
Into the marriage reception. For the
church ceremony the prayer book with
long and wide floating strands of rll>*
bou was preferred to the longest.

In Choosing Your H? ?
How very becoming the big Caines
borough hats are to tall girls with good
shoulders! One of the cleverest mil
liners iu Loudon once told me. says n
writer in the London Truth, that when
choosing hats for her customers to try
on she was guided as much by the
shape of 'the shoulders as by the face,
head, complexion and hair. I have of

so many mistakes made in this way
