STORY OF TWO DOLLS.
;Jr
(For Little Girls.)
NE MORNING THE
postman rang at
our bell and asked
Jane, the upstairs
girl, whether any
one named Miss
Eveline Arabella
Rosalie Estelle
lived there.
I was sitting on
the top step of the
stairs, and beard It
all; and I heard Jane answer:
"No, sir; there Is no one In the house
who has all them fine names. I'm cer
tain sure of that.” And I really think
that postman would have taken the let
ter away again If I had not called over
the stairs:
“Why, Jane, yes, there is, and I’ll
bring her down this minute!”
So I ran Into my room and took ray
last new doll out of the wardrobe and
brought her down Just as fast sa I
could, and I said:
"Jane did not mean to tell a story,
Mr. Postman, but this Is the lady that
letter Is for. We call her ‘Evy,’ for
short, and that Is why Jane did not
know.”
The postman laughed, and said:
“That explains It,” and tucked the let
ter under Evy's arm and went off; and
I took Evy and her letter Into the din
ing-room. The letter was in a tiny,
weeny pink envelope, and papa cut It
with hfs penknife, and I took out the
sheet of paper, and read:
“Dear Eveline Arabella Rosalie Es
telle:—I am coming to lunch with you
at two o’clock today. I shall bring
Lucy Bell with me. Give my compli
ments to Lottie Lee.
Your* very anectionateiy,
£j' “Grace Genevieve.”
Grace Genevieve waa Lucy Bell's
very finest doll. Lucy’s grandma
brought Grace Genevieve over the
ocean, and Lucy took great care of
her.
I suppose Lucy’s aunt Fannie wrote
the note, for she was always* doing
things to make us laugh; and usually
I should have been glad, but just then
the doll's house was in a dreadful state,
and how my Evelina Arabella Rosalie
H Estelle could entertain Lucy Bell’s
Or ace Genevieve properly I did not
a , know.
“You do not look quite happy, Lot
tie," mamma said after awhile. “What
troubles you 7"
“I’m so sorry for dear Bvy, mamma,
I said. “I’m sure she'll be mortified.
The doll's house Is In a dreadful state.
We were going to have a regular house
cleaning, and the furniture covered,
and the walls papered with figured gold
paper, and the curtains done up; but
the paper-hanger and upholsterer—
that’s brother Tom, you know—disap
pointed us,”
“I should not mind if I was you,”
said mamma. “You can have a picnic
, . lunch on the grass-plot In the back
garden.”
“But you haven’t heard the worst,
mamma,” said I. “Poor Evy’s china
K-U tea-set Is actually gone—smashed to
pieces! The day Cousin Jane was here
she fell down with the china-basket.
There’s not a whole piece left.”
“I feel great sympathy for Evelina,”
said mamma. “I’ve been in much the
same position myself. But Lucy will
make allowances.”
“It Is not Lucy that I mind,” said I.
“She Is only a plain little girl like my
self; but Grace Genevieve Is so ele
gant, and always comes In pale-blue
* ‘ “WHAT A LOVELY IDEA ”
Mtin, and wears a diamond coionet”
\ , "Rather dressy,” said mamma, ‘for
a email and early.”
“She can't help it,” said I. “Her
thing? won’t come off. But Evelina
will want everything to match, you
know.”
V- , Tm afraid there's not time to buy a
new eet of china,” said mamma. “Bnt
" leave It all to me. I’ll think of some
thing.”
if;!! When mamma said that, all my cares
were over; and about one o’clock she
called me to come out Into the gar
:'«i „ den. She had a box in her hand, and
when she opened It, there were the
loveliest shells of all shapes and slses,
and a beautifully embroidered towel,
and she had strawberries and cakes
and a paper of sugar-plums and a little
pitcher of milk; and she told me just
' which shells to place tor plates and
, 4 which for cups and which to use for
dishes; and when they were all set out,
«' * with a big shell full of flowers In the
v center, and a bouquet at each plate, I
never saw anything so pretty. I
■'■4\ brought Evy out.
. “Uy dear doll,” I said, “when I first
, heard that you were going to have un
expected company, I thought you would
' certainly be dreadfully mortified; buf
I2 ■ iptmmi has helped us out of the trou
;V' bis. And now remember, my dear Evy,
‘'*v when Mias Grace Genevieve arrives,
dsn’t look the least anxious, or make
• any apologies, but just say: “I am
glad to see yon, and as it to such

a warm day we'll have a shell lunch
on the lawn for variety; one gets so
tired of the same old cups and saucers
every day.”
Mamma laughed and dapped her
hands, though I do not see what I had
said that was funny. Do you? I only
told Eva nearly what I had heard real
big people say when they had unex
pected company, and put away the
corn-beef and cabbage and had a lunch
Instead. Still, when mamma laughs, I
don’t mind, for she loves me dearly;
and I love her more than tongue can
tell.
Everything was done, and I had on
my white dress when Lucy rang at the
door. I opened it.
"Bo glad to see you, Miss Grace Gene
vieve,” I made Evy say; and Lucy
made Grace say;
"And I am pleased to be here, Miss
Evelina Arabella Rosalie Estelle.”
Then Eva. said—X Interpreted, of
course—what I told mamma I would
say about a shell lunch on the lawn;
and Grace Genevieve answered;
‘What a lovely idea! But you always
have such splendid ideas, my dear.”
Then we put the lady dolls on the
sofa to converse awhile, and I took
Lucy out and told her all about the
accidents that happened to the china
and the delay In the doll’s house-clean
ing.
"How wonderfully Eva carried It off!”
said Lucy. "I have often heard mam
ma say that the only way to do when
you had unexpected company was to
behave as If there never was a time
when you wanted them so much; and
that Is exactly what Evy did.”
8TOP THE SERENADES.
Torpedoes That Mitigate the Horrors of
Nocturnal Visits From Cats
The heights’ cat by virtue of not only
Its exceptional attainments, but also of
Its multifarious experience, may be
justly entitled to the distinction of be
ing termed a cosmopolite, says Brook
lyn Eagle. The proverbial bootjack,
buss saw, parts green decoction and
dynamite bomb are Incidents In his ex
perience, which he views retrospective
ly with only passing emotions of Inter
est, not unmlxed with pleasure. For
It is recorded that he met them and
conquered them *>ands down. Swell res
idents of the heights have been left at
his mercy. For a time cayenne pepper
judiciously distributed Into the diet of
the midnight prowlers gave the peace
ful cltlxen a respite from the nocturnal
harmonies of the love-making and ar
gumentative animals. But after sever
al councils of war which Involved mu
tual recriminations and a tangle of evi
dence as to the cause of their setbacks,
the cats cleared up the mystery and
went to work again, with a clear under
standing and a proper plan of cam
paign. The day, or rather, the night
ui cayenne pepper was past. It was re
served for one ingenioua citizen on
Willow street to Introduce an expedi
ent whlcb thus far proved to be the
conquer'1'1 of the cat. The remedy was
not less startling than the nuisance It
was designed to abate was painful. A
troop of black cats had made the rear
stoop and fence of this particular citi
zen’s residence a nightly rendezvous.
Last Sunday night the feline chorus
was in full swing and the debates be
tween the singers were pitched in high
tones. The leader of the band was ex
plaining his views on the silver ques
tion, while his first assistant, so far as
the controversy could be interpreted,
was endeavoring to divert the line of
discussion to a consideration of the
question as to whether marriage was a
failure. Suddenly an upper window
opened and a stalwart arm, draped in a
flowing white sleeve, made a swift
movement. Something hurtled through
the air. There was a crack against the
fence just above the leader’s head, a
roar, and a blinding flash. The cats
were petrified for an Instant. Then
came another roar and a flash and the
cats were in full retreat. A careful
comparison of notes subsequently led
the cats to a conclusion that heavy
artillery had been in’roduced and that
future operations should be abandoned.
The torpedo had gained the day. It
has now been go. e.ally adopted as a
preventive for these night concerts,
