HIS ADOPTED CHILD ,
Atlanta Constitution : A man alts lookIng -
Ing moodily into the open wood fire as
leans la/ily buck in a luxurious arm
chair. His surroundings tire sumptuous.
The whole apartment bespeaks great
wealth used to the best advantage by tlio
nld of exquisite tasto. There tire flowers
Iu this room a great , square window
of palms , and rare blossoms , the cut
rose , exhaling a delicious odor. But the
one human liguro is more interesting ,
more strikingly elegant , than anything
in the room. Errol Jerome , though
now forty-two years old , certainly do-
seru > s his reputation of being the hand
somest and most distingue man in Now
York society. IIo lias a stern , com
manding face the kind of face women
fulorc- and men trust and admire. It is a
face , with all its clear-cut , firm features ,
its brilliant darkt yes , and high , white ,
haughty brow , that ono could imagine
infliiitfly lender and sympathetic when
mo\ed by love or pity.
Just now the face is at its worst. By
his side are a lot of bills , glancing at
which his brow grows moro densely
clouded and ho gives his head a fretted ,
quick , upward lift , like a line racer chaf
ing nt its bit.
"U n it , " lin says to himself between
his tooth , "is this thing never to cease ? "
As if in answer to this sclf-question-
Injr , some ono enters softly and comes up
to his chair.
"Hello , dad ! "
Errol Jerome turns and regards his
son with tlio same look ho has been be
stowing upon the fire.
, ' * "Hello ! " ho replies , not vising from
liin chair , but giving out rather coldly
his ilno white hand to bo shaken.
His son looks at him with an expres
sion half worried , half amused.
"What's up ? " ho says , as ho drops
lazily into the chair opposite.
" ' " with cold sarcastic
"I'pl" , accents ;
nothing up at all ; everything down at
least everything in which you are
ooncorned. I have just received
another car-load of evidences of your
debts , and I am tired of them. "
i n "Ah ! I am sorry , " with exasperating
* > indittercw'o.
"Von will still have moro cause for
regret perhaps when I finally tell you
that I shall pay them no more. "
"But you won't do that , Errol ; I know
you won't. "
The older man's face cottoned. lie
likes to bo called by his name by this
f young son , only twenty-two years his
" iVNow , " continued the young follow ,
evidently anxious to divert his father's
mind , "lot mo toll you of my spring
south , and the royal time wo had fishing
and hunting about the 'Mai-shea of
Glynn. ' You know Lanier wrote his
most beautiful poem about those marshes
near Brunswick. But before I toll you
of the limiting I must tell you of a queer
llnd I made near the marslies. "
"What was that ? "
"A child ; and I brought it back with
mo. "
"A Moses in the bullrushcs ? "
"No , a small Pharoah's daughter. "
"Good heaven ! and you say you
brought her back with you:1"
"Ves. "
"And what are you going to do with
her ? "
"Educate her at one of the swollest
schools in the city , "
"And what then ? "
"I don't know. "
"Item- her up according to your ideas ?
I oupposo that is your notion.
Well , judging by the many women
you associate with whoso ways
seems to suit your taste , heaven knows
what sort of woman would result
from boihg trained by you from early
youth. "
"Tho boy's face grows as stern and
BOi-lous as his father' : * . <
"I wish , " ho says angrily , "that you
wouldn't talk of the child that way.
Bho is nothing but a child , and is as
U > auUful and pure as an angel. I found
her in a hut while out fishing one day.
I heard a child sobbing and 1 opened the
door. There sat a little girl by a pallet ,
holding the hand of a dead man. Her
Htoi'i wa-s a short , sad ono. Tlio two
woreall alone. The father
wore- was a fisher
man and the mother had died at the
. birth of the little girl. She was now
* " ton . \ears old. I had the father buried ,
nnd. there was no ono to take the girl.
There wasn't oven an orphan asylum
convenient. It wna suggested that I
take her to Savannah and give her up
to the ono there ; but I finally concluded
to bring her to Now York and place her
in some such institution. Wo came by
steamer from Savannah , and I liked her
BO well and felt so sorry for her that my
whole soul went against putting her in a
tilaco whore who d have to wear ugly
frocks and bo made to work llko a ser *
vaiit. I have therefore concluded to
educate hormysolf- "
Lyslo Jerome did not observe the ef
fect of this story upon his listener until
it was finished. Then his father pushed
the stool before him violently away ,
nroso quickly from his chair , and faced
yrtio hey with his oyca passionately ablaze.
Jits whole figure was trembling with
suppressed emotion.
"t Know , " ho said , "what the end of
this education will be. You will marry
this girl this mum-less , common fisher-
mans daughter. "
"That is exactly what I will not do. "
"It Is the sure result of such a freak ,
ind 1 wish to hoar uo argument or pro-
testations from you upon the subject. I
have little to say. I have not been
positive with you heretofore , but I
think you know when I am In earnest.
I am terribly In earnest now. I
leave you this alternative : ( live up this
mad scheme about this girl nnd send her
away from the city to some institution ,
and I will pay your debts and take you
Into my business ; keen the girl as you
propose , and not one ( time of niy money
shall ever bo given into your hands , not
now nor after my death.
The boy arose too , and the resem
blance between father and son wan moro
striking as the hitter's face grew hot and
angry.
"Tiien , " said Lyslo Krrol. "I will de
cide at once. I will educate the girl here
in New York , nnd you can do as you
please about the debts and your money.
You might.'smiling , "leave the latter
to an orphan asylum. "
"And how , pray , do you propose to ed-
eato the girl or take care of yourself
you who have never earned a cent dur
ing the twenty years of your life ? "
"That question need notconcen clth or
ono of us. I am one of .the lillles of the
field , and I suppose the Lord will array
mo. "
Hi.s utter coolness feazcd his father a
little.
"You are simply joking , " ho said.
"You will do as I wish. "
" [ don't mean to bo unpleasant about
It , I-'rrol , but I will not do as you wish. "
"Then go. " Mo pointed to the door ,
sat down in his chair , and took up u
newspaper. The young fellow left the
room without another word.
* * * * * *
When Lyslo Jerome found himself
outside of his father's does , however , ho
dropped his haughty air of independence
and bowed his head , in thoughtful self-
communion.
"A pretty hard snap all around , " ho
said to himself. "And then so unex
pected. Now what In the mischief am I
going to do with a child on my hands
and not enough oven to support myself ?
I have my profession. The law Is such a
lucrative profession , too , witli no money
and no backing. "
What he rea41y did do was to go to his
apartments and soil out everything
therein. Ho had a finer collection of
curios , paintings and statues than any
young swell in the city , and when ho an
nounced rhcerfully to his friends that ho
was dead broke and was going to work
lie found no trouble in disposing of these
symbols of his former wealth. Ho had a
number of handsome diamonds which
TilTany took back. J lo gave his debtors
mortgages on the property of his dead
mother , which ho would come into the
next year , and the debts about covered
it all. Then with tlio money from his
treasures he rented a small ollico dow n
town and hung out hi.s sninglo. In this
ollico ho slept on a bed that was a desk in
the day time and took his meals at the
Dairy Kitchen nnd his lunch at 5-ccnt
counters. The world was kind to him
and his friends took it as a supreme joke
that this young s-on of a millionaire was
seemingly reduced to hard work and
poverty , lie had plenty of brains and
soon his ability gave him a reputation.
IIo put the little girl ntnnologantschool
and at the end of the year paid the bills
in full. It was hard , self-denial for him
at first , but ho grew to love and take a
pride in his profession. In lis-o years he
was making a magnificent income and
took his old stand in the gay , wealthy
world when lie felt like it , but his life
had grown too broad and serious in its
ambitions for him to over bo ado\oteo
of fashion again. lie saw the little girl
every now and then and ho taught her
to call him "uncle , " and as such ho was
accepted by the teachers and schoolgirls.
* * * * *
IIo mot his father out quite often nnd
they always greeted each other affably
before the world. No one know save
themselves that there had been a differ
ence betw oen them.
When the girl reached eighteen Lysio
Jerome found himself in a , state of utter
perplexity. What was ho to do with her ,
sure enough ? Ho couldn't send her back
to tlio fisherman's hut ; ho couldn't setup
up and establishment , and adopt herand
bring her out in society.
A happy thought struck him , and re
sulted in his finding himself in Mrs.
DeLancey's lovely morning room , wait
ing for that leader of fashion to enter.
Mrs. DeLancoy was a woman that even
women couldn t help liking.and all men ,
save her homely old husband , adored
her. Errol himself had been making
harmless love to her since his boyhood.
She was thirty-live now , but she didn't
look out of the twenties as she entered
the apartment in a morning gown of
pompadour silk , all frills and lace.
"My _ dear , boy , " she said tenderly , all
her fair , fresh , dimpled face alight , "so
glad to see you. Your visits are to bo
prized now that they tire so rare and you
are getting so distinguished. "
"Maybe , " ho says uneasily , "you won't
bo so glad when I toll you what I want.
It has occurred to mo that having no
children you'd like to adopt one. I have
a girl whom T want you to adopt. "
llis fair listener looked at him as if
she thought him joking or crazy.
"I am in earnest , " ho said seriously ,
and then ho told her the story , and of
his present helpless position.
"And this , " she says , "has boon the
reason 'for your sudden going to
work and making a man of
yourself rare thing for an only
child and rich man's son to do. I think
you owe that girl moro than she owes
you , and I've u half mind to help you
with her. "
"You are an angel , " ho bays grate
fully , "and I am your slave for life if
you will take charge of her. "
"My dear boy , do not declare yourself
my slave for life any moro ; rather let
mo bo a mother to you and a grand
mother to the child of your adoption. I
have grown weary of homage. I have
been growing desperate recently and
threatening myself with entering a con
vent or doing the charity act. I was
just on the verge of slumming when you
camo. This girl will ho a blessed relief.
She shall be the orphan child of a dead
friend and I shall interest myself in her
success. Of course she is pretty. I
know you know mo too well to ask mo to
chnporono an ugly girl. You know I
loathe ugly people. "
"I think she is very pretty , but I will
bring her to you first and lot you see
her. Now , about business arrangements.
I will support her entirely , and "
his face Hushed hotly. "As I've hereto
fore chosen her clothes I really would
enjoy helping you select her wardrobe
for the debut this winter , Since I ceased
boin-j a dude myself my chief pleasure
was in having her dressed well. I really
think she Is the beat dressed girl In New-
York. "
"You say it with the pride of a
mother , " she laughed. "What is the
girl mimed ? "
"Marlon Tresvant. "
The woman before him gave a start
led movement , and her face turned old
and pale. She bit her lip convulsively.
"I know a man of that inline once , "
Bho said , under her breath , as If to herself -
self ; then routing herself and rising :
"Go now , dear'boy. I'vo an engage
ment for lunch. Go , and bring the girl
to mo tomorrow ; and nowgoodbvo. . " *
* * The next morning found .leromo
with his charge awaiting Mrs. Dolman-
coy in the same room. The man re
garded the young girl with pleased sat-
isfaetion as she stood before him , taking
in with delightful eyes all the charm and 1
daintiness of the bright room. She was
a tall girl , graceful and slender , Her I
eyes were alternately blue and gray
very large , and deep and dark , with
long black lashes , and dark , arched
brown. The complexion was very dark ,
and the. cheeks wore full of rtclii color ,
and her huh- was black nnd sllklly soft.
"She is such good form , so thoroughly
the elegant lady , " thought the manwltli
infinite pride ,
"So glad to see you , " said Mrs. Do
Lancoy as she entered the room and
went up to the girl , whose back was half
turned Inward her. As the girl looked
up with a bright smile of greeting the
elder woman caught her breath sharply
and turned suddenly pale.
"Whore did you come from ? " she
asked quickly. "What was your fath
er's name ? What was your mother's ?
Where did your father come from ? " All
these questions poured out in rapid ,
breathless succession.
"I have my father's name , ' ' she re
plied , "and ho came from the north to
the south before I was born. Ho married
my mother in Brunswick. That is all I
know. "
"It Is not all I know , " replied the
woman softly. "I loved your father. I
was engaged to him when I married my
husband. I deceived him basely and
ruined both our lives. IIo went away , I
never know whore. And so I am to take
you as an atonement for the past. God
has been merciful in giving 1110 such an
easy ami welcome atonement. Yes ,
Lysic , I will take this girl as my own-
take her with all my heart.
Her mother could not have been
tenderer to her than I could be. "
She leaned and kissed the girl softly ,
reverently , upon the brow , and took tlio
tiny gloved hand in her own , and from
that moment the two women were in
perfect loving -sympathy. * * *
The winter was a gay one , and Errol
saw little of his adopted daughter. She
was a great social success , and lie stood
and watched her from afar , with infinite
pride. He always compelled himself to
keep away from her. Ho was determined
not to let his adoption end as his father
predicted.
"It would bo disgustingly common
place , " he said to himself , and then ho
would turn to match-making for her and
himself what man he'd like best to have
her marry , The question was unan
swered in liis mind perhaps because lie
tlioughl no one worthy of her. Anyway ,
his life seemed awfully unsatisfactory
and lonely. He had grown out of car
ing for women in general , and this
young girl had been his object of ten
derness and solicitude many years. Ho
was getting out of sorts. lie thought
ho'd go abroad in the spring. Ho needed
rest and a change that was all.
As for the girl herself , she scorned
perfectly contented and light of heart ,
hho had a world of homage at
her feet with this what girl of eighteen
is not happy ? To Mrs. Do La'noey
she seemed strangely unimpressionable ,
howo\er. Ono night as they sat in her
boudoir discussing , as women will , the
various men they knew and their faults
and virtues , Mrs. De Lancey suddenly
asked : "What do you think of Lyslo
Kri-ol ? I never heard you define an
opinion of him. "
"I don't count him with the men in so
ciety , " she replied , evasively.
"fjiit counting him by himself. "
"It is hard to say what one thinks
when one thinks o much.1 Then , as if
determined not to shirk a full answer ,
she turned her great eyes on the ques
tioner , her face Hushed hotly aa the
words came quickly froirt her lips : "I
think he is the greatest , noblest man I
over knew. All men seem insignificant
beside him. He is handsomer , stronger ,
nobler than any other man o\er was or
could bo. I can't say all I think , but
this is a little. "
"I " said Louise Do
was right , Lancoy
to herself , as she dropped in her downy
bed. "They are in love with each
other. "
* * * * *
The next day when Errol called Mrs.
De Lancey came in first.
' Do you know , " she said , incidentally ,
to him , "I believe Marion tb going to
end her season by marrying young Var-
ley. "
"Why do you think so ? "
"Oh , well , from things in general , She
seems to like him very much better than
anybody else , and the rich and good-
looking are generally attractive. "
"Tie's a confounded ass ! "
"Why , I heard you praise him. "
"Oh , as a society fellow ho will do
better than most of them , but ho is a
dude , and don't know how to earn a del
lar. "
"But ho doesn't need to. He has plenty
of them all earned for himself. "
"That's all a woman asks , " ho replied
bitterly. "Oh , well , if Marion wants
him she can have him. I have never
objected to her having anything she
wanted yet , and a husband Is a necessity
to a young woman's social life sooner o'r
later. "
Just then Marion entered the room ,
and Mrs. De Lancey excused himself on
account of an engagement.
Errol took her hand caressingly in her
own , as ho had not done since lie began
to realize that she was a grown
woman. Ho drew her down in the chair
by his side.
"I'm going to pay something to
you that I did not intend to say
when I came , " ho said , with his eye's
bent tenderly upon her. "I don't know
why I haven't said it long ago , I know
it liius been in my heart to say for a
long time. I love you. I have loved
you so long I can't remember when it
commenced or how. I don't want you to
fed obliged to love me because you think
[ have been kind to you. You have done
everything for me ; but for you I should
never have been anything. My father
turned me away pennilesi bcenuso I de
termined to adopt you , and then I had to
work for you , and I made a man of my
self instead of an Idiot llko lots of rich
fellows one meets in society. " Hero he
thought bitterly of Vat-ley. "My father
is married again now , and I don't expect
to he heir to any of his property , " he
went on , "but I have made a great deal
myself , nnd "
Her face grow pale and trembled.
"Why do you speak of money ? " she
said , "when you tell mo you love mo ?
Do you think I'm ' thinking of money ? "
"I thought all women did now. " Then
turning to tender pleading again : "No ,
1 really didn't think it of you , only Mrs.
Do Lancey said you might marry Vur-
ley , and It nearly killed mo that was
all. I ntn-er knew how terrible it would
be for you to marry Rime oito else until
the idea was suggested to me. "
She turned and looked him clearly In
the eyes and said : "I will never marry
anybody unless I marry you. "
And so ho took her to heart for all
eternity the child of his adoption ,

The posing young woman is very much
to the fore , ami as fashionable drawing
rooms arc furnished with a view of aid
ing her in her artistic desires she is
happy , sajs the Indianapolis * Sentinel.
You s ( > e a tall , slender girl in some sort
of soft frock limped in ( Jieelc fashion ,
with fillets of gold about hi-r hair , stand
ing in one corner of the room under a
tall palm tree. You thinU what a good
back ground she has and how lovely the
entire olleet is , and if you are a man you
think it is an accident. If you are a
woman you give her an admiring glance
and say to your chum : ' 'She has her
pose. ' ' You see a tailor made girl , who
is calling , with her hands clasped behind -
hind her , standing up in a very erect
wav against the side of a mantel shelf ,
and it all seems to harinoniio tlio na
tural wood , the straight lines of her
figure , the somewhat decided way in
which she is speaking , the polish on her
patent leather shoes , and her smoothly
braided hair ; she lias suceeded ; she is
nosed there. There's another girl who
has como in in a lingering , dawdling
sort of a way , enveloped in a long , soft ,
full cloak , and with a picture hat laden
with plumes crowning a. mass of Huffy ,
disordcrlv hair , and after she has said
her good afternoon to tlio hostess she
half sits , half reclines against a pile of
cushions ; ono of her adorers brings a
footstool to her and hot1 small foot , in its
Louis Quin/.o shoe , shows to best advan
tage and she drawls asi , > ho talks. She's
got her pose. It's the nemi-lazy , sotui-
bcrpentinu effect of a woman wlio looks
awkward in a tailor suit , whoso anirlos
are too many for her to , pose against a
palm tree , but who is tilled in and round
ed by her full draperies and her soft ,
many colored backgrounds. They do
study it out and there is no reason why
one hhnuld dislike it. If a woman looks
the better for being well posed society is
the gainer rather than the loser by It.
Costumes a In Uallet.
It is little wonder that Delsarto mati
nees and physical culture seances flour
ish , for if ever the human form < needed
to approach the divine it is at the pres
ent season , when the cut of the fashion
able gown rivals the costuming of the
Nero ballot in its possibilities for revela
tions of every curve and outline of a
woman's form except , perhaps , the con
tour of the arms , which are mulllcd in
quantities of material evidently scrimped
out of the petticoat , savs the New York
Sun. The Murray Hill darling , who is
never allowed to step her proud little
foot on tlio pavement without a duenna
in attendance , walk's the avenue all fear-
lc-.sly in a skirt which is very nearly as
interesting to the admirer of physical
charms as is the conventional attire of
the queen of the chorus. The tight lit
tle petticoat is as scant and narrow as
she can stop in , apparently , and the dra
pery is pulled back and up at the sides.
We' haven't seen the girl try to sit down
in the sheath-like skirt , hut it is our pri
vate opinion that she takes it on" when
she isn't standing , btill it may be
jointed somewhere , like the armor of
niedia-val knights ; and then the girl of
the period has quick intuitions and in
ventive power. She hassulllcient genius
to iind her pocket occasionally , despite
tlio dressmaker's efforts to conceal it , and
she may think of a way to sit down in
tlio dress without breaking any bones.
MI-H. Cleveland's 'Morning Mull.
DMrs. Cleveland's mail has not suffered
any diminution since she left the white
house , says the New York World. How
dear she is to the women and the school
girls of America is best expressed in tlio
notes and cards that continue to come
from the north , south and west tilled
with "horroiv that she could not have re
mained , " nnd "hopes , prayers and good
v ishes1 for her return the next time. "
The sincerity and genuineness of these
expressions of admiration is found In the
addresses and full names of the fair
