A Pleasing Ceremony Which Is Observed In Some Families—Tom and Sybilla Are Petted and Patted by Uncles, Aunts and Chums—The Happy Hour Alone. Tom and Sybilla are engaged, and the time has come when their friends are to pay their compliments. On the eventful day Sybilla is ready to receive her congratulatory callers, a picture of blissful loveliness in what her dressmaker describes as an “an nouncement gown.” It is not all of white, for that would be too bridelike, but there is a skirt of snowy embroid ered crepe lisse, and over that a long empire coat of white satin, brocaded in pale pink rosebuds, with a waistcoat of silver embroidery on pink satin and a cravat of old Venetian point. Deep ruf fles of the same lace fall over the hands and almost hide the diamond which ev erybody wants to see. Gloves are out of the question. Some ultra fashiona ble girls may wear them, but not Sybil la, who feels that it would he wicked to conceal so much splendor. Add to this charming frock the wear er’s shining blond hair, her big blue eyes, her lovely color and the happy smile that plays round her mouth un consciously, and who can wonder that she makes a picture fetching enough to send all the old maids of the family away sighing with envy and regret, and to fill her former admirers with desper ate resolutions of becoming "damp un pleasant bodies” in the Charles? The next younger sister sits at the tea table, promoted for the first time to that responsible post, impressed with her new dignity of a Psyche knot re placing the schoolgirl braids and the immediate prospect of coming out, now that Sybilla is disposed of. There i3 a constant stream of visitors. Congratu lations are hearty, though they are ex pressed with little variety. Tom, half proud, half embarrassed stands by her side, taking all phlegmatically from the tearful blessings of his aunts to the jests and rallyings of the fellows from the club who have come primed with the usual jokes intended for just such occa sions. Now and then he steals a glance at Sybilla, whose blushes seem to have burned themselves in indelibly, and breathes an unconscious sigh of satis faction. Yes, he has certainly made a very good choice. So far as looks go, there is hardly a girl in town who can hold a candle to her; her figure particularly is enchanting, and she wears her clothes, simple ('.) as they are, to perfec tion. As to character, they have al ways hit it off admirably, and as their taste3 are the same there is no earthly reason why they should not be at the be ginning of a long and very happy com panionship. At the same time he realizes all the joys of bachelorhood he is re nouncing. Already he has felt a per ceptible coolness in the warmth with which the feminine portion of society receives him, for he is no longer eligi ble and surrounded with the becoming halo which invests a possible husband. He is left out of many jolly little par ties of shooters bound for the cape, and tho fellows who are laying plans for the salmon fishing next year are leaving his name out of the question. Then, too, as if by tacit consent. Well, to be sure, just then he will be busy furnishing the house he means to build for himself and Sybilla and thinking of more seri ops things than rod and reel, but on the whole she is worth all he gives up. and as their eyes meet again and he sees her loving heart in her, he thinks himself little better than a cur to have yearned, even for a moment, for the flesh pots of Egypt. The nearest and dearest of the rela tives have been asked to remain for din ner. The house is en fete, and the long table in the dining room looks as if royalty were to be entertained, with all the best silver, glass and china dis played—maidenhair and La France roses, pink shades for the candles and a menu which proves clearly that the cook has realized the importance of the occasion and means to outdo all her previous triumphs. Sybilla, as the ob ject of honor, sits at papa’s right hand, and Tom, who had cried out upon eti quette, insists upon taking the chair next her. The old aunt opposite has a vague notion that he squeezes her hand once or twice under the table, but her eyes are dim and her glasses poor, so it remains forever unsettled. A great deal of laughing and talking goes on from oysters to ices, and then there are to be speeches. Papa rises and begins it. The uncles follow with good wishes and congratulations, so cordially and tenderly expressed that all the aunts sniff audibly, and mamma disap pears behind her handkerchief, not to emerge for a good 10 minutes. Tom says a few frank, manly words which cause him to be regarded with open fa vor, and then they all adjourn to the drawing room again, Sybilla and he bringing up the rear and lingering a moment in the hall. Both look a little confused when they enter, and the fam ily discreetly forbear to engage either in conversation at once. There are singing and playing, and by and by carriages begin to roll up out side. It is time for the aunts and un cles to go. The pretty niece who has done so well for herself is kissed unti 1 she blooms like a peony, and Tom comes in for so many hearty handshakes that his fingers fairly ache, but at lat,b it is all over, and they are left by the fire in the parlor alone.—Boston Herald. A Fatal Swelling:. At Eau Claire, Wis., a negro tramp crawled into a car of lumber bound for Burlington, la., and lay down on top of the pile. He fell asleep, and the lum ber, being wet, swelled up, crushing him against the roof of the car. When the car arrived here the following day, the dead body was found.—St. Louis Republic. w m ■■ <—»■» ii»w'«i—■———arowM< WEALTH HERE AND / 3R0AD. Point* of Contmt Between the Kiel* In America and lu 1Curope. The English and the Americans arc both rich, but which are the richer? Perhaps the statisticians know or can find out, but it is not certain that the statistical answer would give tho infor mation that one really wants and which involves the distribution of wealth as well as its mere existence. Most Amer icans have to work; but. as is well known, a considerable proportion of English people toil not nor spin, and make no pretense of doing anything tor a living. Is that because the English are richer than we, or is it a matter of taste or a result of primogeniture? Ho also it appears—from close study of documents submitted by Anthony Trol lope ;md other contemporaneous histo rians—that British gentlemen in re spectable circumstances employ from five to fifty servants and have several houses apiece, all of which they live in, and travel much besides. An Ameri can who lives in that way is looked upon as a man of very exceptional re sources, but it would seem that an Eng lish gentleman who does not live in that way is thought to be somewhat strait ened. In England there are 300 or 400 hunt clubs, and something like 20,000 Britishers ride pretty regularly to hounds. But hunting is an expensive sport that takes both time and money. These English seem to have both to spare. A returned traveler was speaking of the shoals of agreeable English people he met in the Riviera and in all the play places of southern Europe. When asked if they were rich people, he said not, but that they were able to live as they did because they knew how and got their money’s worth. He thought, too, that the well to do English bad r more complete domestic apparatus ready to hand than most Americans and could spend a larger proportion of their incomes on travel and amusement. Houses and furniture and such expen sive vanities they had already by in heritance and were not compelled to spend useful money in providing them. Regarding the English habit of pub lishing novels in three bound volumes— would the American buy novels in such costly form? Are not all the habits of living that we borrow from the British, from dock tailed horses to indoor men servants, more costly than the customs they supersede? They must have a great deal of money to spend, those enterpris ing islanders. No one would hesitate to say that the Americans are richer than the Russians, or the Italians, or the Germans, or even the thrifty French, but the Briton gives us pause. Is he really richer than we are, or is he mere ly an older son. and a dweller in a land where servants work for small pay, and clothes are cheap, and novels are rented out by Mndie, and the tax on stimulants is laid for revenue, and not for prevention, and where to loaf and invite one’s soul is esteemed a prefer able thing to toil?—Harper’s Weekly. J'layinjj Cards*. The invention of playing cards has been attributed to the Chinese, Hindoos, Arabians and Romans, but cards as now used were invented by Jacques Gringonneur, a painter, in Paris in the fourteenth century. They were sup posed to have been first made for the amusement of Charles VI of France, who was deranged. The French had particular names for the 12 court cards. The four kings were David, Alexander, Caesar and Charles; the four queens, Angine, Esther, Judith and Pallas; the four knaves or knights, Ogier the Dane, Lancelot, La Hire and Hector de Gar land. Cards seem originally, however, to have been taken to England direct from Spain, having probably been in troduced into that country by the Moors; the clubs, in Spanish cards, not being trefoils as with us, but cudgels—that is, bastos—the spades or swords, espadas. They were at first stamped from wood blocks in outline and filled in by hand, but after the invention of engraving the best artists engraved tnem on copper and struck them off at once. Colum bines were spades; rabbits,clubs; pinks, diamonds, and roses, hearts. Human figures opposed to those of flowers and animals were the ancestors of court cards.—Brooklyn Eagle. A Matter of Btutinest*. “Mr. Bong,” said the secretary of the Fearful Accident Insurance compa ny, “be sure and drop in at old Cur mudge’s as you pass this morning and express your sympathy over the loss of his brother in the railroad accident yes terday. Express mine also to him. ” “But old Curmudge had no brother in the accident,” said the canvasser. “What has that to do with it?” said the secretary cheerily. “All he can do is to tell you so.” “But it might unnecessarily alarm him,” persisted the canvasser. “That’s the point; that’s exactly the point,” returned the secretary cheerily. “Alarm him as much as possible. His own policy runs out next month, and it is one of our duties to remind our pa trons that in the midst of life we are surrounded by accidents.”—London Tit-Bits. IndetMl. The word indeed was his fad, and the young woman got tired of hearing it. One evening he began a story. "I have.” he said, “a very clever friend indeed” “In Deed?” she interrupted question iegly. “Yes, indeed.” he reiterated inno cently. “In Deed?” she repeated. “Yes.” “I beg your pardon,” she said; “where is Deed?” And then he tum bled indeed.—Detroit Free Press.
