' James WhHcomb Riley. A SOCIAL SHOCK. Dinner was announced immediately after Mrs. Washington Mostyn entered the drawing-room, and indeed it ap neared that the nartv wore onlv await. ing her arrival to nut an end to classic bad auarter of an hour. "My dear," whispered Mrs. Kendal, "I am going to send you down with a most charming young man, Algie Up t ham, a cousin of the duchess of Liver pool. I think he's quite one of the : j t - . t i . i . . 1 1 . nicest men m Lionuou anu so arusuc, don't you know." Mrs. Mostyn raised her tortoiso-shell lorgnette in the direction of the gen tleman indicated, aud was pleased to make an Inspection and give an opinion in not more than two seconds. "Charmed, I am sure. What a good looking vonng man. Ah, I see race and intelligence." "les, ooin. out aiiow me to intro duce you," said Lady Kendal. In an other winnte or so the wonion were trailing their silken and velvet skirts down-stairs to the dining-room. Mrs. Washington Mostyn belonged to the "Four Hundred" of New York, if not by birth, at any rato by wealth. Her husband, who was content to pur cue operations in Wall street most of the year round, was wont to leave the cultivation of society to his handsome wife. , Their brown-stone mansion on Fifth avenue was as gorgeous as many of their richer neighbors, and no one understood better the art of "booming" an entertainment and getting herself talked about than Mrs. Washington Mostyn of New York. And then her "oottago" at Newport, was it not cele brated in every paper throughout the length and breadth of the continent? It was there that she entertained lavish migratory members of the English aristocracy in quest of amusement, wives, or sport thereby forming con nections which she meant to push vigorously now that she had actually arrived in London. Had not Lord Birkenhead the duch ess of Liverpool's oldest boy, been one of these feted and flattered young sters? And was not tho dear duchess proportionately grateful and. inclined to open the ducal arms in a manner that she was not wont to do with cer tain dear friends and rivals from New York and Washington? And as to the society of which this fastidious lady was so distinguished an ornament, was it not the most solect and "high-toned" as the transatlantic scribe would put it to be found on the sauio continent? But Mrs. Washington Mostlyu had still one unsatislied ambition, and that was te become as much of a Loudoner as ber fair frionds and neighbors had con trived to make t hemselves. To London, of course, like every other self-respecting American. she had been, but it was with the London of hotels, parks, and theaters only that she was familiar. Into its society she had never pene trated. And so it came to pass that Mrs. Mostyn, leaving her husband to per form bis vocation' of bear iu Wall street, caused several enormous trunks to be packed, and, arming herself with introductions to some of the best peo- pie in London, betook herself, her maid, and her courtier by the next steamer to Liverpool, landing on these shores by the beginning of May. Lady Kendal, who lovetl above all things a new face, had been one of the "first hostesses to make much of her. It was rather an amusing - tabic, though it somewhat shocked Mrs. Mostyn's fastidious sense of the social proprieties. Lookins? round, she was struck with the familiar look of the faces, and, as a matter of fact, she could have seen most of tho persons present by taking a walk down Bond street ana glancing in the holograph , er's windows as she went along. L&dv Kendal's rjurties were cele. brated in their way; for she was what an irreverent modern journalist has not inaptly called a "mixer." She would send down a famous toet with an ambassadress, a cabinet" minister with pretty actress, or consigu a great lady to a fashionable , singer. It was a social' salad, aud people were C leased, once in a way, to m-et cele rities of whom they had beard a great deal. Now Mrs. Mostyn. like others of lie "Four Hundred." knew little, and approved less of "mixing. " She would as toon have asked Li Sing, her lauodryman, to dinaer as some of the actors, journalists, and painters whom Lady Kendal liked to see occasionally ... I ..1.1. I.!. tA ln.t.A. as tier lauie. v mgui, ivt iu,iu.c, across the banks of mauve and white orchids, Mrs. Mostyn could catch the profile of her grace of Liverpool smiling on a handsome Polish tenor who had turned half the .women's heads in half the opera-houses of Europe; while opposite her sat the celebrated biolog ist. Prof. Lyndall. who was apparently delighted with his neighbor, a little Virginian beauty who had written some rather erotie novels. "Why" couldn't Lady Kendall have told me what his line is?" thought Mrs. Mostyn, glancing nt her partner as she settled herself iu her place. "I hate talking to a man I know nothing about! Sport art tho Gaiety? What shall it be? I know nolo! All En glishmen play polo, and if they don't iey like you to think they do." But it was not, after all, of polo that Mr. Algernon Upham conversed. He had a hundred amusing stories to tell stories of the theatrical world in London, of great people in Vienna, of the ateliers iu Purl. "You naiut. then?" asked Mrs. Mostvn. wliuu the talk turned on the '; last subject. "I used to," said Upham modestly. "I have utmost giveu it up now; in fact, I think it gave mo up. I spent live years .working in the Paris studios, aud at the end of that time I came to the conclusion that I knew almost -nothing about it." "Ah, that is your modesty. I am sure you do know all about It" replied mo tavij nccvij, ruu mcij mcic nag a little pause, duriug which the young man smiled aud hesitated, as if he were about to say more. Mrs. Mostyn, feel- Ins that she had unwittingly touched on personal matters, adroitly turned the talk into another channel, mo American was charmed with her neigh bor. Ho was uot only younz, hand some, and amusing but he seemed (no slight virtue in the eyes of Mrs. Mostyn) to bo connected with various smart and imposing English families. Willi the enterprise of bur sex and nation sho determined to annex Algie. "What a charming young man," she thought, "to take to tho play, to square ouo In the park, and to had cups of tea on one s 'a homo' tlay! Ho had such perfect taste and suob an eyo for color, lor when the talk, as it sometimes will, turned on chiffons, Mrs. Mostyn was astonished to hear her ncighbbor give an almost subtly feminiue opinion on some point in dispute. "Whv, 1 bolievo you know more about it than I do," declared the lady, laughing. "Well. I ought to, I suppose." Mrs. Mostyu was so mystified that, for a perceptible iustant, she found ab solutely nothing to say. Ho evidently imagined that she knew all about him. With the tact of her sex, Mrs. Mostyn promptly turned tho talk into gener alities again, determining to ask her hostess all about her fascinating neigh bor as soon as the ladies reached the drawing-room. out ine lates were against her. ljaay Kendal was monopolized by an elderly matron, who never let go her hostess till the men appeared from the dining room, and wbeu they did so it was Algie Upham who slipped into the vacant chair by Mrs. Mostyn's side. This was a maneuver that is uot in tho nature of woman to withstand. "Come and dine with mo on Friday night," sho said, as she at last rose to So; "100 Lowndes square 8 o'clock, on't say you can't; ouo or two nice people are coming." "l shall be more than charmed, re plied the vouug man, bending, in his pretty, half-foreign way, over tho lady's hand; "but you'll come to my place oue day, won't you? Lady Ken dal is coining to-morrow." "Why, yes. I think I could go to morrow," said Mrs. Mostyn; aud bo the thing was settled. On tho following day Mrs. Washing ton Mostyn, who had put on her most gorgeous attire not having been loug enough in London to know that here women do not bedeck themselves in tho afternoon tripped down to her little coupe, and directed the man to drive to Lady Kendal's, thoroughly pleased with herself and tho world iu general. She was going to see the charming young man of the night bo fore, and tho charming youug man was going to diuo with her ou Friday. Moreover, she had on her most becom ing bonuet. The two ladies chatted cosily as the carriage bowled along. "I'm so glad you could come," said Lady Kendal; "I'm sure you'll think his taste perfect. lie has such lovely thiugs." "Lovely things?" inquired Mrs. Mostyn. with rising enthusiasm. She was one of those women who liko the heroes of the moment to bo set, as it were, in a framework of luxury. "Yes; brocailes, such as you can't get for love or money. He has" them specially manufactured from his own designs." "He must be very rich," said the American. "That's the sort of thing our millionaires do at home." "Well. Algio must make $3,000 or $4,000 a year. I should think." rejoined Lady Keudal, thoughtfully. "You see, ho's so well connected. All the smartest women in London go to Algie." If Mrs. Mostyn wondered for an In stant bow the society of smart women justified such reckless extravagauce she said nothing, having a horror of ap pearing iguoraut of London or the ways of Iiondon. "You get on capitally." continued Lady Keudal; "Algie is so fond of Americans. You seo they don't mind what they spend." "No?"' said Mrs. Mostyn, who was now thoroughly mystitied; and just then the carriage drew up at a smart looking bouse in a Mavfair street the house all painted wlnte, with yellow silk curtains and blinds, and daisies and mine in the window -boxes. The door was opened by a mao-eer-vant in livery, and the ladies were shown up-stairs into a large room lik studio. The walls were of golden leather, with draperies and euruius of dull gold silk, and here and there a touch of torquoise bine or faint pink, inwrought with gold, added another note to tbe harmonious picture in which tbe wood niautlepiece. tho soft Persian carpet and the exnuiset old mezzotints on the walls each played their part. One or two Chippendale cabinets displayed specimens of rare Nankin, the easy-chairs and lounge invited you to chat and on ever; tablo ana in every uook stood flowers and palms. His master was engaged for the moment, the man announced, but would be with tbe ladies in a few minutes. "What a perfectly charming stud lof cried Mrs. Mostyn, peering round in her pretty, short-sighted way, "only don't see any canvasses or the usual artistic mess." "Canvasses? Why should there bo, niv dear?" ""Well, but isn't Mr. Upham ao artist?" "Artist!" cried Lady Kendal; "whal an idea! Why, don't yon know I thought everybody know Mr. Upham is the fashionable dressmaker. His professional name is 'Eugene,1 but we call bim Algie. Why, I'm going to try on my new court bodice directly, and the dear boy will tell me exactly what's the matter with it." For a moment Mrs. Mostyn's head almost reeled. She hardly knew if jthe gave a scream, or if she moved in stinctively to the bell. - Whether her murmured excuses con veyed any notion to Lady Kendal it U difficult to say, for iu another moment she had slipped down-stairs. Adrcssmakor! Her charming young man a man with whom she bad al ready had almost a flirtation was a dressmaker! It was preposterous it was impossible. Why, there were a dozon odious journalists who were capable of telling the whole story in the American papers; nud as Mrs. Mostyn threw herself into her coupe she fairly groaned as she remembered that she bad herself insisted on the prosenco of this importer at her first smart dinner iu London. London World. Girls and the Stage. I have had a good many letters from among my girls, asking me my opinion of their going on the stage. It be comes oue of the most difficult to an swer. . There are good, honest, noble. God-fearing people on the stage; the theatre may bo to the mass of people a great school for morals; but to the one girl standing in tho ranks waiting to work har way forward, it is a working ground where temptation is on every side. If sho is strong enough to re sist this, then let her go ahead. If she be one of the weaker isters, then let her think many times before she puts herself in a position that will certainly entail a great deal of watchfulness aud hard work. The life of tho actress is as full of hard work as is that of tho girl who stands behind the counter or the one who is mistress of the telegraph key. Do uot imagine that the gold glitter ing on tho gown of tho beautiful ad venturess is a symbol of the golden life she leads, and do not believe that the simpering ingenue who wonders with a smile "how nuybody ever does any work, is not just as full of study and absolute physical work as is that of most other women. Sho works till late at night, consequently she must sleep a little in the morning." She gets up nod then goes to a long aud tiresome rehearsal, then only has time to get a bite, and half-an-hour'a sleep or read ing beforo sho starts again for the theatre. But you think there are others who do not work in this way. Yes, yes! But they are tho ones that you do not want to imitate. Mrs. Kendal has said that for tho woman who has some talent, and who is will ins: to work and wait, there is success ou"the stage, and it pays better, than almost any other profession; but dur ing tho waiting years there must be a constant watch kept, so that scandal does not touch with its burning tongue the woman who is working for success. So think it out well for yourself; conclude whether you not only have a heart to resolve, a head to contrive and a hand to execute, but whether vou really havo the talentthat must belong to the actress. The world is all a stage and the tnon and women mere ly players, but you may bo cast for the happy wife and mother. So don't make the mistake, if you are a round peg. of getting into a square hole.

Formerly tbe great arctic or snowy owl was rarely found in central or northern New York, but during the present winter the Bpecies has been numerously represent ed and numbers have been killed. This is thought to be due to the fact that rabbits, on which the birds feed, havo been uncom monly plenty this season and have attract ed them.

Experience seems to teach that the best way to avoid hard times is to plant a diversity of crops.

A recent canvass of twenty cities yields some interesting data respecting female labor. According to the report made, the average age at which a girl begins work is fifteen years and four months. Charleston, S. C, gives 18 years and 7 months, the highest average, and Newark N. J., fourteen vears and seven mouths, as the lowest. In Atlanta the wages are the lowest in the twenty cities, the average being only $4,05 per week. In San Francisco they are the highest, reaching $6,06 per week. A novel double wedding occurcd at Silver Lake, Mo., last week. John A. Cecil was married to Miss Theresa C. Whistler.

The two and a half year old son of Dick Moon and wife poisoned itself with strychnine on Saturday last. It seems that the mother was rearranging some bottles containing various drugs and placed them temporarily within reach of the child who partook of the poison, and beforo medical aid could reach them tho child was dead. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Churchill in the Presbyterian church on Monday afternoon. The sad affair en lists for the stricken parents tho pro foundest sympathy from the entire com munity, and serves as a solemn warning to all who have any occasion to uso. for any purposo, poisons of any kind, to be thoroughly careful in handling them.
