Mrs. Arthur Stannard, better known as “John Strange Winter,’’is an author whose outlook In life is sunny. Lon-! don, or the most interesting part of it, 4 goes out often to visit- her in her One I old'house at Putney, near the Thames. ’ At her summer garden parties and win ter “at home*” artists, authors and journalists make a charming Bohemian circle about the peculiar trophy of horseshoes arranged in her reception hall. The writer of‘“Booties’ Baby” confesses to a pet superstition. After the manuscript of that story had been hawked about to six publishers she picked up a horseshoe an hour before the news came that The London Graphic had accepted it. On three other occasions of finding horseshoes she has immediately heard of good; things, and her friends affect a joking reverence for these mascotr and in variably hold all discussions of im- eportant enterprises within the radius of I their auspicious influences, v It is not every visitor to Putney who pas the entree of the nursery of Mr Winter, so called until (he favorable deceptions of “Hoopla” and “In Quar Mrs” induced the author to lot the pub Hr into the secret of her sox. She is | The mother of three chubby babies, the • eldest of whom is 5 years old. These j ’ mischievous, sunny tempered young stem fill their end of the house with laughter. With a toddler on each knee j - and another hanging over a chair Ik- people, hind she answered a question as to the happiest hour she had ever seen. F“To understand the pleasantest little thing that over happened to me you; must know that when I was 12 years old my dear old schoolmistress politely, but lirinly, informed my father that I got into so many scrapes lie must really take mo home. When my 'Cavalry l ife’ began to receive favorable notices the impulse came to me to write and let this teacher into my secret. Tlx | - congratulations I received in reply gave mo more pleasure, 1 think, than any ’ others I have ever received.” Mrs. Stannard is not a beautiful worn | an, though her face is a pleasant one.

It was in vented by an American, who tried in vain to enlist in his invention the in forest of American capitalists. Nol/ody could see any promise in the tiny bit of mechanism, and the inventor llnally l/etook himself to France. There he found capital, and the invention speed ily became popular. Now the inventor and the capitalists Interested are get ting rich out of the contrivance, and even the American agency is proving a mint of money. The fastener, at first applied chiefly to gloves, is now nffixed to umbrellas and to a dozen other nr tides of dally use.

Nobody ever thinks of paying the ad vertisod price for wall papers any more than for a piano in these days. An owner who was papering a large up town apartment house recently made up Ills mind that the paper hanger's es timate was too heavy. He called on an architect with whom ho was ae quoin ted, and the two men went to a large wholesale place in Seventh avo nuo, where he found that lie could buy the paper for which lie had been charged seventy cents by the paper hanger for tliirty two cents.

Animals must frequently bo sur- prised at receiving punishment “for eirgood,” when they are innocent of intentional wrongdoing. Push, in her • kitten days, steals a hit of tempting fish from tho table, and has her ears boxed. She is a wiser eat from that time, as well as a sadder one at the moment. One can imagine her ietreat ing to the wo-xlshcd to think it over after tho blow has fallen. Perhaps she bewails her rad fate, and exclaims against its cruelty, as \vc all do when we have sinned thr ough ignorance and ; not escaped the penalty. — Youth's 1 SALE CHEAP.
