Do Mot Want Stranger* to 8m IM Hon** hold Arrangements. It seems to be a part of the real slm-< plicity of the Italian Latin to put on ' quite useless look of mystery on all occa- l lions, and to assume the air of a oonspir- | ator when buying a cabbage, and more , than one great foreign writer has fallen Into the error of believing the Italian character to be profoundly complicated. One is apt to forget that it needs mnob deeper daplioity to maintain an appearance of frankness under trying ciroum* stances than to make a mystery of one'f marketing and a profound secret of one's cookery. There are few things which the poor Italian more dislikes than to be ' Watched when he is buying and preparing his food, though he will ask any one to hare it with blm when It is ready, but he Is almost as prone to hide everything else that goes on inside his house unless he has fair warning of a visit and full time to l prepare himself for It. This Is perhaps not entirely a race peculiarity, but rather a survival of mediaeval 1 n#o ? It prim *11 ova* EnroDe. There are pretty clear Indications In onr own lltera- i tare that the ladles and gentlemen of two or three hundred years ago did not like to j be caught unprepared by Inquisitive visitors. The silks and satins in which they are portrayed wonld not have lasted a life- | ' time, as they did, if they had been worn i every day. As for the cleanliness of those i 1 times, the less said about it the better. i In Rome there was a long period during 1 . which not a single aqueduct was in working order, and it was a trade to clear a sup- i ply of Water out of the Tiber from a por' tlon of the yellow mud by letting it settlta In reservoirs, and to sell It In the streets for all household purposes. Who washed In those days? It Is safer to ask the question now than it would have been then. Probably those persons washed who were the fortunate owners of a house well or a rainwater cistern, and those who bad neither did not. Perhaps that was very much the same all over Europe. It is cer- i r talnly to the credit of Trastevere that it 1? t not a dirty place today by Italian standards.?Marion Crawford in Century. MARY ANDERSON'S WARDROBE. Whan She Had bat One Stift Caatam* Wot Fin rive Act Flays. Three months elapsed between Mary Anderson's first appearance on the stage 1 and her second performance, "a heart ? breaking Interval," writes Mrs. De Navarro in The Ladles' Home Journal. Manager Maoauley of Louisville then offered her his theater again for a week, and she presented the chief roles In five plays? "Fasio," "The Hunohbaok," "JEvadne," i "The Lady of Lyons" and "Romeo and ? Jtillet." Of her first week's engagement the writes: "At the end of the week I was , In debt to the manager for the sum of $1, J tbe house having been large enough only to cover the running expenses. All I had gained by a week of bard work was a sad j heart and a very sore throat. Besides, aredltors became unpleasantly Importunate, for my soanty wardrobe was not yet paid for. This oonslsted of a white satin dress, simply made, wbloh did servloe for all the parts. It sparkled In silver trimming for Juliet, was oovered with pink ) roses for Julia, became gay in green and gold for Evadne and cloudy with white laoe for Pauline. The unfortunate gown owed Its many changes to tbe nimble and willing flngere of my mother, who spent muoh time each day in its metamorphoses. "A train of velveteen, a white muslin drew and a modern black silk gown, which, like Mrs. Toodles, we thought *would be so useful,' but which had to be discarded after its first appearance, comI pie ted my wardrobe?surely a meager one for five plays of five acts each, requiring at least 18 gowns. We had built up financial as well as arttstlo hopes for that week and were disappointed lq both. Bat It proved more successful than was at first thought, for shortly after, Ben De Bar, one of the greatest Falstaffs of his time, engaged me for six nights at bis St. Louis theater. At the end of that time I found mysslf in his debt for the sum of $600, but ths houses had steadily improved, and tht press was filled with long artloles enthusiastic about the present and full of pnaMotions about the future." *h? Swiss Bonds. The Swiss bands marched to th'e musls of fife and drum or of their own voioes, the notation of on* of their marobing songs being still preserved. The forest cantons also sent a horn with their companies, which Instruments were known by nloknames, Bull of Uri, Cow of Unterwalden, and the like. Their sound was long a note of terror to the men of Austria and Burgundy, and made a grand mllvlnir err for the Swiss in aotion. But port from this, these horns appear to be the origin of the bugle horns wbloh still appear on the appointments of oar light infantry, and have displaced the dram as the distinctive Instrument of the foot soldier. Kaoh company of course had a flag of its own, whloh on maroh or io action was posted in the center nnder a guard of halberds. Whenoe the main body sometimes was oalled by the name of tto panoer (banner.) The Swiss were distinct gaished by the small size of their flags; t the landsknechte, on the contrary, to aoh oentnate the difference between themselves and their hated rivals, carried enormous ?- ensigns, and made great play with them. J- Other nations ohose a happy mean between y- the two. t v Uniform was ef coarse a thing virtually b unknown in the fourteenth and fifteenth a oentaries, though the Swiss, if we are to l- trust old woodcuts, wore the white cross it on* red ground even at Sempaoh. ?Mao tnillan's Magazine.

Only a dislike to own my&ulf beaten and the occasional fasclnar ;lon which compensated for the more frejuest discouifort kept me in the offloe. But all this was before the day I was sent So interview the wife and daughter of ths f?. man who had just disturbed society Iif " % llsappearing from it. Mr. Groy, so 16 had been learned from : | khe notioes concerning his disappearance, 'M bad one evening after dinner gone out for ? stroll around the block. He had never some back. His family was of course ; i prostrated after the manner of families on fJ rach sad occasions. After giving him K/? time to come back, sending to his clubs, . bis office and the houses of his friends hla ? . wife had finally told his lawyers, and sya? tematlo search was begun. The family ^ bad retired from publlo lffe and denied $jg themselves to every one, consequently my chances for an Interview with Mra. Brey did not see hopeful, but the city ed- , - < Itor's air of granting me the opportunity I had been longing for made me loath to admit my fears. \ t I took the train for the Greys' ?they lived a little way out of town?and pro- | pared myself to meet the servants' soorn and the other attendant evils of suoh an V: assignment The ooaoh was an ordinary one, and there were several laboring men V In it, evidently traveling to some suburb > ^ where they were to work upon the roads, for they carried pickaxes and shovels. 'v? 'There sat opposite me and slightly forward a peculiar type of man to whom I found my gaze wandering every few minutes. His iron gray hair was thick and very unevenly out. His faoe was oovered .' *? with a stubbly growth *of gray beard. He : -A looked unwashed, unkempt and generally unpleasant. His blue overalls were stained with red olay and his red flannel shirt , opened at the front in a way that revealed anything but a beautiful neok, burned and blistered. But the man's twitching 'li.) lips and oon vulslve movements of the Jaws / ?5 attracted my attention, and hls'deep sol, steely blue eyes that burned in cavernous sockets fascinated me. He did not talk to the other men, but sat with his bead sunk ' ;; upon his breast, only occasionally raisin# it to cast a look about him. He, with the other laborers, left the train at Forestville, where the Greys lived, and I soon saw . ^ them, under the direction of a foreman, ' V'i assigned to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see m& I sat in the library while the servant took my card to her, for there were other callers H in the drawing room. Over the mantel hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey, .:Vj done in oil. She was as beautiful as a V: cameo and as hard. Opposite hrar was the portrait of a dean shaven man, with fine iron gray hair brushed off his forehead?a more plebeian cast of countenanoe, but < 1 ?. strong and interesting. The face seemed familiar. I stared at it until the servant returned. "Mrs. Grey is sorry, miss, but she can , , tee no one, and has nothing to say far publication." ""Verywell," said L Then I roee to ga. . "Id that Mr. Grey?" I asked, nodding toward the picture. "Yes, miss," was the reply, and suddenly it flashed upon me where I had seen v .vja those deep set, curiously shaped, keen blue eyes. My heart leaped almost into my vJ month. I took one long look at the par* ,33 trait and left the house. The men were repairing the road, and I noticed one of the workmen whose face *' Bturtled me. The resemblance to the por- AlM trait I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarkable. He worked with a fierce delight In the severe labor. His faoe seemed more mad than ever, with the exaltation of motion and strength deepening the gleam In ' ? his eyes. /v, There waa a telegraph offloe at the end >of the street. I sent a message to the city '. , editor. "Send a man to Forestvllle at ]-W onoe," was my command. Then while I paced the street and walked about the > square I reflected upon the welcome I would receive if I bad made a mis?ake. Every minute I became mo.e and more' convinced that I had made the most ooloasal blunder on record. By the time Mr. Ellington Ellsworth, the only man who happened to be available when my tele- , gram was received, bad arrived I was nearly hysfciricaL I told Mr. Ellsworth my theory, and he was properly skeptical. He discouraged me thoroughly in about two mlnuteii, but I suddenly rallied. "Well," I remarked, taking command, "I want you to keep that man In sight. 1 shall em *n t/wn ATld fffifc his lawver. Find out what train they go in on, and 111 meet you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to act upon that suggestion, but he finally consented s to do so. I went in, summoned Mr. Grey's lawyer and with him met the worklngmen's train. Mr. Ellsworth, looking bored and unhappy, got out and pointed out our suspected "disappearance" to bis lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth. Was I to be forever disgraced cr made famous forever? "Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping forward, "what does this mean?" And when I saw the man start wildly I knew that I was not forever disgraced. "Won ? uM flitv editor jovially. "what did they say?" "They didn't say anything. They didn't no me." ~ ^ "So you didn't get the Interview?" ?ld the city editor shortly. "No," I replied meekly, "bat Ifoand the missing man." And now, such i? the irony of fate, the oity editor, Instead of letting me rest on my laurels, is always exhorting me to life up to the reputation I made in the Grey oase, when I found the missing man, learned how overwork had worn oat hit brain and how in hfe half crazed condition he wandered away and returned to his original ocoapatlon in life, to the horror of his wife with the cameolike face.
