MASTEIt TOM'S ENOAGEJIEJiT.
Old Mr. Moiyneux was immensely
proud of his position as a county mag
nate. He lived in a feudal castle which
he had bought cheaply, having taken
over at the same lime the good will, so
to speak, of its former owner's social
iullueuco and dignity. In consideration
of his great wealth his neighbors charit
ably ignored t lie fact thatliis father had
been a small tradesman and that he
himself had carried on a lucrative busi
ness in the hardware ljne for many
years. He was not a bad old fellow,his
vulgarity being of a subdued and in
offensive kind, and consequently he was
received in tho best county .society. But
he aspired to even greater distinction,
for his pet project w:is to marry his only
son, Tom, to one of the Earl of Laburn
um's daughters. There seemed no
reason why this auspicious event should
not come about, for the Lady Florence
looked kindlv upon Master Tom. and
his Lordship had more than once hinted I
that he would raise no objection. Lord
Laburnum was the Lord Lieutenant of
the county, aud an alliance with his
family meant admission into the most
aristocratic circles.
Unfortunately Master Tom was rather
a scapegrace, aud his father preferred
to let him see a little of the world before
revealing the high honors that were in
store for him. The fact was that Tom
showed no predilection whatever for the
Lady Florence, and be was just of that
democratic age when a youth is apt to
underrate social advantages. The old
man hoped that when Tom hail his fling
he would begin to awake to the respon
sibilities of his position, and be amena
ble to reason. He knew that Tom was
raising a very respectable crop of debts,
and that before long his paternal assist
ance would be tought. When the crisis
arrived he intended to make known his
wishes, and to take advantage of the
lad's embarrassments to impose condi
tions. .Meanwhile, as Tom tccnied to
have given Ids heart a roving commis
sion, there was no apparent danger of
his seriously compromising his affec
tions. One day, however, the young man
came down from town, where he was
ostensibly studying for the bar, and
with a very grave and determined air
announced that he was engaged to be
married. Old Mr. Moiyneux nearly
had a lit of ppoplexy on the spot, and
when Tom proceeded to state that the
young lady earned her own living "by car
rying on the business of a dressmaker at
the West End his horror and indigna
tion knew no bounds. In vain Tom
pleaded that Miss Fabian was a ladv by
birth and education, and that" the
poverty of her family was her only
crime. His father became more and
more furious, until Tom showed symp
toms of flat rebellion.
"Think of your position in the coun
ty!" exclaimed old Mr. Moiyneux, per
ceiving this aud wisely making an effort
to control himself.'I -will take'it for
granted if you likeUhatthe girl is an
exemplary character. Shcmay be lady
like and well educated and alt the rest
of it But her station is altogether in
ferior to vours."
"I don't see that?' said Tom, stub
bornly. "Why, of course. It isridiculous,"
said the old gentleman, swelling with
self-iiaportance. "Her father, you say,
is a poor out-al-elbows devil of a clerk
in the city."
"I've never noticed his coat had holes
in it," retorted Tom. "As for; his being
a clerk in the city, so were "you once.
The only difference is that" you have
been more fortunate thau he and have
made enough money to retire upon."
"None of your infernal Radical non
sense here, sir!" cried old Mr Moiyneux,
infuriated at this reference to his own
origin. "It would be just as sensible to
.say thatj'ou and I are the equals of Lord
Laburnum liecause Adam was our com
mon ancestor. What .does it. matter
if I was once a clerk in the city?- I have
-since attained a superior grade ia the
socixl scale, and that is the fact that
must be faced. By marrying the daugh
ter of a city clerk, who earns her living
by dressmaking, you would make a mis
alliance." "Just as Lady, Florence would by
marryiaf me." said Tom, looking won
darfolly raaooenb

red. 'T'sm speaking of 'this 'idiotic
love affair." ,m , .
"Oh! Well, of course, I must keep
my word," said Tom, with flushed
cheek.
"What! you have written to break it
off?" said Mr. Moiyneux, feigniug sur
prise. ' & U
"No, guv'nor, I "haven't,'' said Tom.
"I hoped you would have softened by
this time."
"And I believed xom would have re
membered that your lirst duty, was to

beginning to boil. "Do you mean to

"She has solcLJier -business, fajherj"

with my consent. That's all."
"I should be very sorry to disobey

"LookJIhere.tmy )-' j inJeVrupled
the old gentleman, quickly, sneaking-
with unnatural calmness, "let us unrL

serious threat, for "he was fond of his

it, uuu iuui was eviuenuy impressed.
The lad dropped his eyes before his
father's irate glance, and the ruddy"
color left his cheeks for an instant.
"lou know, torn," he added, notic
ing the wholesome effect of his words,'
"you are" entirely-dependent upon me,
and unless you tooTc to teaching I don't

quickly, with a tell-tale blush.
"You will find out that you owe a
good deal when your creditors' learn
that I have made your cousin Ted my

. - ilom ,was j evidently serlonslyliscon
certed by this remark. He turned on
his heel, muttering something about
catching the next train to town, leaving
his father master of the situation. The
old man considered he had gained a
signaly victor', aud was, therefore, not
the least perturbed when his son started
offtothc stationwith his luggage; in.
literal accord ancf. with hwr.;,, ,;
He did not doubt that Master Tom
would see the folly of his ways;, and,
sure enough, two "days afterwards the
young .man -reappeared, -looking: decid
edly sheepish and tendered his submis
sion. He even brought acopy; of ,thc
letter he had written to the j'oung lady,-,
which Mr. Moiyneux-thought a little
too curt and matter of fact, ifanv fault
was to be found with it Howeverhe.
was not inclined to be hypocritical in
this respect anil' he heartily applauded
Tom's action.
Tm going.away for a bit, guv'nor,"
said the lad., who winced a little at his
father's boisterous good humor, and
seemed half ashamed of his conduct
"Websterad.some other.fellows have
hired aiyacht, and sail for Madeira to
morrow." "By all means, my boy," cried Mr.
Moiyneux, secretly delighted that his son
should leave England for awhile at this
juncture "and look here, Tom, while
yon are away I will settle matters with
these friends of yours."
He produced rather a formidable list
of names and figures as he spoke, and
Tom started with surprise, as well he
might, at perceiving; how full and ac
curate was his father's knowledge of his
pecuniary embarrassments. The old
man cut short his son's confused " pro
testations of gratitude and' apology, by
say111 good-humoredly: " .
"Well, well, you must turn over a
new leaf, my boy. jReasonable econ
omy must henceforth be the order of the
day, and I hope that on your return you
will settle down and reside permanently
in the country."
He held it on the tip of his tongue to
hint that he must be prepared to marry
Lady Florence; hut he wisely re-
-raiaeu. ievert&eless be was as full of
the project as ever, and after Tom's de
parture he spoke to Lord Laburaum
more plainly than he had hitherto done.
His 1-ordship, without pledging himself,

in the face, and Tom was justly alarmed
at his aspect. But before he could utter
a word in reply a man servant brought

half:absently, glanced hurriedly at the

lieved his over-wrought feelings. After
striding about the Tooni for a fewimo

halted'in front ofTom, and criedin a
voice of suppressed passion: ,g
"You impertinent, disrespectful, dis

"I said every farthing' would be re

"Very well," said the old man ab
ruptly; and he immediately sat down at

a tremulous hand. "Read that," said
he. to his" son when he had finished.

English hats of htraw will be tlie first
choice for promenade wear, while small
honnets will be principally reserved for
dress occasions. The new shapes in
hats repeat, in exaggerated effects tho
high crowns of last fall. .Some shapes,
in fine Milan stiaws, have peaked
crowns in Alpine .style, while others
have full bell crowns and are exactly
the shape of the silk hats worn by
horseback riders. A stylish shape in
Milan braid has an extremely high
square crown and a brim which is
short at the back and. Hares in point di
rectly above the forehead. Hats with
full bell crowns which shape towards
one side have a brim turned up on
the same side. Large hats in llelgian
straw with slightly-pointed smiare
crowns have straight brims which flare
from the face. Nearly all the brims of
new hats are arranged to roll or flare,
and show .a facing of .dark velvet to
harmonize in color 'with the straw. The
trimmings of English hats will be ex
tremely simple. Several bands of rib
bon, separated by a space, are set in
rows around some crowns and end at
the side in three clusters of loops and
ends, through each of which a single
long heron plume is carelessly thrust.
A stylish trimming for square-crowned
hats is two folds of velvet or velours
laid over like old-fashioned cravats and
tied in stiff cravat bows at the sides.
A cluster oi ostnen tips witn an
aigrette, or marabout feather with an
aigrette, or a bunch of feather pompons,
complete the hat
Some odd French hats are in helmet
shape, with a high crown which runs
to a sharp edge. A military crown,
which slopes at the back toward the
front, like West Point cadet caps, is
seen in hats with visor fronts, or with
crowns narrower at the back than in
front. N. Y. Mail ami Express.
The Hudson River will soon be m
picturesque as the Rhine. Baronial
castles, turreted towers, lordly man

of architectural beauty and magnifi

It is there that New York millionaires
live when they retire from contact with
the "common people," and pass their
leisure in luxurious enjoyment and
seclusion. Residences costing $150,000
to $200,000 are numerous, while every
where one finds beautiful grounds, ex
tensive lawns, conservatories and parks.
