When my father discovered the fact that I had pledged my hand to Tom Houghton, his nephew, a frank easy-going young man, who possessed very little beyond a fair practice in an adjoining village, he was very indignant. He could not understand how a woman of my quiet nature, to us his own expression, "ever came to fancy such a rollicking careless fellow." He forgot that people always like their opposite. No amount of reasoning could con vince me that I had chosen unwisely and that it was possible for me ever to regret giving up the gayety of the city for a life in Grayridge as the wife of a country attorney. Tom loved me, and I was de voted to him. This was enough. As soon as my father became convinced that remonstrance was useless, he re luctantly yielded his consent to our un ion , and generously presented me with an expensive and elaborate trousseau. I never dreamed of the impression made by my wardrobe immediately subsequent to my marriage, until years after, when circumstances brought to life the fact that the handsome dresses (which I had stored away carefully in a cedar chest in one of the upper rooms of our cottage for future use when the little girls who call me mother might appropriate them) were remembered by the more observant ladies of the village. Tom and I had both sons and daugh ters, and as our income was moderate, I did not attempt to keep up with the fit ful whims of fashion, and had adopted a style of dress more commensurate with our means. We had been married just ten years when the Centennial burst on the country. One bleak morning in February I was surprised by a visit from two young girls, tspec cively fourteen and sixteen years of age. I knew them both by sight but between their mothers and my self there had never been an interchange of even the most formal calls. I polite ly asked them to be seated. The elder, Miss Weems was the first to speak. , "Mrs. Houghton," she began, "the girls are going to give a Martha Wash ington leap-year party." "Yes," interposed her companion, Miss Smith, "and we are going to send cards to the young men, and we intend to take them in rockaways and buggies, just to cut them for letting us walk when they take us to parties." "I go out so little," I said, "I seldom know what is going on. I had not heard of the party. When and where is it to be?" It occurred to me that possibly these girls had been commissioned to invite Tom and myself. I could think of noth ing else to which to attribute the unex pected visit. "Mrs. Bledsoe has offered to loan us her house," began Miss Weems, but she was again interrupted by Miss Smith, who said: "And Jim Bledsoe didn't half like it. but you know his wife always has her own way if she cnooses. Miss Weems pulled at her glove and exchanged glances with her friend, and finally said, with a grest deal of em barrassment: "Mamma told me to ask you, Mrs, Houghton, to please loan me your green silk dress with the white fringe and bead heading. You know we've all got to wear old-time dresses, like them the ladies used to wear in Cren ral Washing ton's day." I was thunderstruck, but replied un eoneernedly: "I am afraid the dress you allude to is not sufficiently ancient for a centennial occasion." I wondered as I spoke how her mother knew I owned such a dress. "Oh, I can alter it," she responded. "Mamma said yon wouldn't mind, be cause it was out of date." I was glad Mrs. Weems selected the dress in question, as I prized it less than either one among those contained in the cedar chest. "Ill take the best care of it," contin ued the girl, her face aglow with pleas ure at the prospect of wearing "green" like the fabled milk-maid. Just then Miss Smith touched her elbow, and Miss Weems added, "Oh, yes, I forgot! Mamie, here, wants the loan of vonr 'byadeer' with the galloon trimming to match" a nudge from her companion and a suppressed whisper caused her to add: "Sure enough I I mean wide black lace trimming. Mrs. Smith made me promise to tell yon that Mamie shan't hurt it." "Does your mother expect to attend the party ?" I asked, to gain time, for I was surprised out of my usual serenity. "No, indeed," answered Miss Smith. "It's a young folks' party. But can I have the dress, Mrs. Houghton ? Please say yes." "I suppose so," I answered, mentally congratulating myself that the dresses designated were somewhat worn and soiled, and still puzzled to know how these people, with whom I had nothing in common, could so accurately describe garments I had almost forgotten. There was nothing for me to do but produce the two dresses, which I did, and after the girls departed in high glee. They bad been gone a half hour when the house servant entered, bearing two cards. "Miss Grace Miller!" I exclaimed, in voluntarily. The Millers belonged to the elite of Grayridge, and we visited socially, but not intimately. I was sure they did not owe me a call. "Yes, ma'am, and her sister, Miss Ad die," answered the girl. "They say they only want to see you just a minute." When I entered the parlor, before I could offer the customary salute, Miss Grace advanced and kissed me in a gush ing manner. "My dear Mrs. Houghton!" she ex claimed, "I have come to ask you such a favor; we young folks are going to have a Martha Washington Centennial Leap Year party, and I am dying to personate Marie Antonette. You know she was just my style, and I wish you to lend me your lovely blue silk. I can just barely remember seeing yu (Miss Grace was only three years my junior) with it on when you came among us a bride. I was quite a child, but I assure you it made a lasting impression." "One difficulty in regard to the dress you speak of," I replied, "is that it is not all the style required, and would look ridiculous." "That can be easily remedied," she re joined, "by a slight alteration; and now, while I think of it, dear Mrs. Houghton, Addie would like to wear your rose col ored moire, with the lace overdress." I was completely nonplussed. Miss Grace assumed that I wonld not refuse. Quick as light thoughts chased through my mind. The magnificent lace for which my father paid a fabulons price could I trust the delicate fabric to a giddy girl ? But I must make some an swer. "You can have the pink moire, Miss Addie," I said, "but the lace has been taken off and packed away, I scarcely know where, and, besides, no one but a regular modiste could put it together as it was originally." To my infinite relief Miss Grace said: "Oh, ve can easily improvise an- over dress." Compelled to submit or give offense, I produced the dresses, and after a num ber of exclamations of admiration over the beauty and richness of the articles, the ladies departed, overwhelming me with thanks. I returned to my sewing, but had only taken the needle in my hand when the bell again pealed. This time it was a servant man with a huge basket and a note. The messenger was from Rose Bower, the home of Mr. Woodbridge, a good friend of my hus band, who lived a mile1 from Grayridge. The note was from his daughter. She had graduated with the highest honors at a fashionable boarding-school the June previous, but her spelling was none of the best. I broke the seal and read: My Dear Mrs. Houghton: Us girls are going to have a Martha Washington Centennial leap-year party the 22d. You know it is his birthday, and I want you if you please to loand me your buff satin to ware. It is too late for me to make a new dress, as splendid as that in town. Mamma says you had it on when you was a bride to a party at Judge Simp son's and she thought it was just lovely. There is a Miss Glencole here from Buf falo visiting me. We went to school to gether and she never brought any of her paity close with her. Mamma says you used to ware a cherry-corded silk, and if it is convenient could you send that too, as it will suit exactly. Please do not disappoint yours lovinly. An revoir, MoiiLlE WOODBBIDOE, P. S. 'Miss Glencole is about your size. Don't forget the sash. I mean the one that belongs to the cherry corded silk. Having acceded to the former requests I could not, without giving mortal of fense, refuse ' Mollie Woodbridge, and yet I shrank involuntarily at the thought of my clothes being worn by strangers, some of whom I scarcely knew at sight, and others I had not even seen. My wedding-dress still remained, a heavy white silk with garnitures of rich lace and rare flowers. Besides this was a handsome black velvet basque and several evening dresses of lighter tex ture, and I determined if any one else made application to refuse upon the plea that the stock was exhausted. For some days I was not troubled with visitors, and congratulated myself that matters were -no worse, but the after noon preceding the 22d I was startled by the unceremonious entrance of Miss Lucy Wycoff.the sister of Tom's partner, and my heart sank because I dared not refuse any request she might make. I asked her to be seated. "On, no," she replied, "I haven't a moment to stay. I came in a hurry to ask if you can let me have some antique jewelry. You know, I suppose, that we are going to give a Martha Washington Centennial j leap-year party to-morrow evening, and I am going as Martha Washington. My costume is perfect ex cept some antique jewelry. I must here digress to say that when I was married, my family, by common coasent, gave me a pair of ear rings that once belonged to my mother's grand mother, with strict inductions to keep them as an heirloom and a sacred relic, as they were unique in design and were valuable. When Miss Wycoff made the request I did not remember the exist ence of the gems in my possession, and replied promptly that my jewelry was all too modern to suit the character. "I do wonder," she rejoined," "where I can get something antique." "1 am sure I do not know," I said; "I am sorry I have no very old jew elry." My evil genius nust have been in the ascendency. Why did I use the word "old?" My eldest son, a rather precious boy, was standing near, listening to the conversation. If I had continued to say "antique jewelery,'' in his childish ig norance he would not have gusssed the meaning. As it was, he said: "Why, mamma, you have got some old jewelry 1 Don't you remember the box up stairs with the old, old ear-rings that they gave yon when " Miss Wycoff did not wait but ex claimed rapturously: " Have yeu really a pair of old ear rings ?" There was no help for it. I hurried wy and soon returned with the much- wished-for jewelry. In the face of Har ry's indisputable testimony administered a sharp rebuke and a sharper slap on the cheek of my young hopeful as soon as Miss Wycoff disappeared, which timely punishment he has never forgotten. Harry had not ceased sobbing when a merry-looking girl bounded into the room. "Oh, cousin!" she exclaimed, "I have come to ask a favor." Angie Walker was a cousin of Tom's, and of course one must be obliging to one's husband's relations. I knew, how ever unreasonable her demand, I must obey: She rattled on: "I've engaged Will Macon's company to the Martha Washington Centennial leap year party, and I can't get a car riage for love or money. Lend me your rockaway ?" The carriage was a gift from my father only the Christmas beforehand I had not ! used it a dozen times, as Tom had been trying to secure a horse that I could drive without danger. Angie must have observed my hesita tion. Coming toward me with hands clasped and tearful eyes, she said: "Cousin, all the other girls have en- gaged every buggy, rockaway and ve i hide of every kind at the livery stable. Please -please! Just at that moment Tom came in. He knew nothing of the vexatious ordeal through which I had passed, and, after a brief explanation from Angie, he in sisted upon accommodating her. There was no time to enter into particulars, so to please him I yielded. When Angie was gone, and I recited all that had occurred in connection with the Martha Washington leap year party. Tom was highly indignant, and vowed if he had known how generously I had re sponded to the various applicants, he should not have consented to allow An gie use of the rockaway. In his off-hand, husbandish manner he kissed me and patted me on the shoulder as he said: "Never mind, dear, they are all young and thoughtless, and to judge by all I have heard in regard to the party, they expect to have a jolly good time, and will, no doubt, return your liberality with interest." "How?" I asked incredulously, as if these light-headed young people could repay me for soiling and stretching out of shape my elegant dress, as I felt sure they would. "How?" he echoed with gusto; "why, by sending us a rousing supper. They have scoured the country for fowls, eggs, cream, butter in short, everything that is good." Like most men, Tom -was extravagantly fond of eating, and more especially did he enjoy rarities and delicacies. I laughed. "What amuses you?" he asked. "Simply at the idea of those people turning aside to send us a supper. It is ridiculous!" "They certainly possess common grati tude," he answered. At this moment the servant announced supper. "Perhaps they do," I responded. "But had we not better make assurance doubly sure by taking a cup of coffee?" "No, no," he replied ; "I shall save my self for the party supper. Why, they've ordered oysters and all sorts of fruit from the city. I tell you it will be well worth waiting for." "Come," I said, addressing our rosy trio, "we will eat." The little girls sprang toward me, but Harry held back. "I want to wait and eat with papa," he said, with an imploring look; "may I?" "Certainly," I replied. He seated himself with an air of im portance beside his father, who had lighted a cigar and was proceeding to read the daily paper. The meal chanced to be a very tempt ihg one. We had an elegant cook, one who had formerly belonged to Tom's father. I was surprised to see a dish of broiled spring chicken, and could not help exclaiming : "Dar now." said Aunt Sukey, know'd, chile, you'd be 'stonished, 'kase 1 se bin nussin dem young chickens an gettin' 'em on de table, an' I done bin make Marse Tom some waffles, kase I knows he's parshell to em. I hastily returned to the sitting-room to impart the good news. To my amazement he said: "It is very tempting, dear, and JL m sorry to disap point Aunt Sukey, but I don't want td spoil my appetite. It was in vain I argued that he would be hungry enough before the feast from the party could possibly arrive. He re fused positively, and I was forced to go back without him, and state the case to our faithful old cook. She took it more good naturedly than I expected, and said: "jNebtJer mine honey, taint no use to force him, kase he's gwine to do jest as he please; but de nex time I takes de Eains to 'sprize him wid young chickin, e'll be mo' an' glad to eat 'em. T' would serve him right if dey don't Ben' him a bite to eat. I agreed with her, although I knew she did not mean one word she said, for Tom was a great favorite, and she- was first to resent the slightest injury, by word or deed, offered him. Our children as a rule retired early, and not long after supper, in spite of their efforts to resist sleep, one by one the younger ones weie carried off to bed in a state of unconsciousness. Harry managed to keep his eyes open until ten o'clock, then, seated upright in his chair yielded to the power of the sleep god. Tom proposed euchre, and we played for more than an hour. At last, thor oughly wearied, I declared I could sit up no longer. "Just one more tub," pleaded Tom. "A fellow gets so confounded lonesome by himself." I assented and played on until the clock struck twelve. I then rebelled outright and went to bed. . Tom acknowledged afterward that he did not retire until after one. The next morning he denounced the "whole tea party," as he called the orig inators of the entertainment. He cer tainly received no sympathy when he appeared at breakfast from Aunt Sukey when she learned that after all no supper had been sent to us. "Dar now!" she exclaimed, for she was 'a somewhat privileged character. "I done said so; sarves yo 'zactly right arter I done war' myself out tendin' and nus sin' dem chickens fo' yo' hongry toof ; but den i don t harbor no spite gin yo Marse Tom, 'kase I know'd how 'twas gwine to end, an' I done bin save a whole one for yo' breakfas." Here she produced a dish she had con trived to hide with a napkin until she considered she had said enough to make him appeoiate her thonghtfulness, and placing the plump, inviting food before him, added, "Dar, chile, eat it, an bless God tain't no wuss." "You shall have a new bandana before night," said Tom as he drew the delicious viand nearer and commenced the work of demolition upon the juicy structure, made doubly acceptable by his long fast. It was the middle of March before all the borrowed articles were returned. When Tom went the day following the party to inquire about the rockaway, he found it in a lane leading to Dr. Walker '8 house. Miss Angie, in return ing home the night before, had driven against a post and broken one of the shafts. It was too dark to remedy the trouble even temporarily, consequently she and Mr. Mason walked home, the latter gallantly leading the doctor's horse. One of the cushions was "snag ged" and it required two hours' work to cleanse the mud from the outside of the carriage. The entire front breadth of the blue silk worn by Miss Grace was fantasti cally variegated with oyster soup, while the rose-colored moire was altered al most beyond recognition. One of the sleeves of the buff "satin" was missing and Miss Woodbridge sent a note ex plaining that in the hurry of packing to go home, (as she had been summoned to Buffalo by a telegram) Miss Glencole had taken the "cherry-colored silk" with her, but of course it was all safe and I would get it ultimately. The "antique jewelry" escaped with the loss of one of the stones that formed a cluster. Nothing.in short, was returned uninjured but the "green silk" worn by Miss Weems, and as I brushed everything carefully and re placed the dresses in the cedar chest, I could not help feeling a pleasurable sat isfaction in the thought that it was only once in a hundred years there could be by any possibility a Martha Washington Centennial leap-year party.

A London paper has heard of a case where a droll fellow named Scrubbs got into a first-clasB railway carriage, before smoking carriages were invented. In the carriage was seated a sour looking old gentleman. After the train had started. Scrubbs took out his pipe. "You musn't smoke here," at once said the old gentleman. "I know that," replied Scrubbs. He then calmly filled his pipe. "Did I not tell you," said the old gen tleman again, "that you can't smoke in here?" "I know that," gloomily replied Scrubbs, taking out his fusee box. He lit a fusee, but now the wrath of the old gentleman was dreadful. "You shan't smoke here, sir!" he shrieked. "I know that," added Scrubbs, allow ing the fnsee to exhaust itself, when he lit another, and another; the stench was awful, the smoke suffocating. The old gentleman coughing and spluttering, struggled for words. "You had better smoke," said he. "I know that," replied Scrubbs, ap plying the blazing fuzee to the expectant pipe. t AMERICAN ENTERPRISE. A. Ho table .Example Exhibited by a San Fran cisco House. It is- only from exceptional business enterprises that the public obtain the fullest possible advatages. To give those and properly remunerate the conduct ors of an establishment requires a combination of conditions seldom met with. There mast be a com prehensive knowledge of all the facts pertaining to the branch down to the smallest details, the posses sion of ample capital to purchase all material at the lowest cash basis from first sources, and if manu facturing enter into the business, the greatest skill should be commEnded to insure superiority of con struction and finish. These are the principal con stituents embodied by those business houses who cater successfully to the public .n any line. A most magnificent illustrttion is furnished by "Nicoll, the tailor," whose establishments, 727 Mar ket and 605 and 507 Montgomery street, San Fran cisco, are as well known and patronized as are his palatial stores in New York, or his elegant estab lishment in the Lakeside Building, corner of Clark and Adams streets, Chicago. It is perfectly safe to say that no tailor in the country making to order can compete with Nicoll. To the proof: He baf. an office in London which is a great center to which manufacturers of cloth at all points send their goods for sale. He purchases regularly in London and also in Paris, end when occasion requires, his buyers visit manufacturing Beats, such as Hudersfield, Dewsbruy, Leeds, Stroud, Trowbridge and Frame, and in Scotland, Galaschiels, Dumfries, Langholm, Jedburgh and Selkirk. Treating with and buying solely from manufacturers in immense quantities, and all for cash, he invariably contracts much bet ter terms than any other buyer. He has also the most favorable arrangements with the different steamship companies, especially the Inman, for transmission of goods. Changes in style, as soon as they occur, are wired by private code from London. Domestic fabrics are also purchased for cash from manufacturers. . Business with Nicoll this spring has started in booming. Daring his many seasons, experience in this city, he reports that at no time has he been so pressed to fill his orders. He has been compelled to procure the services of several first-class cutters from New York and Paris, in addition to his usual force of favorite artists In that line. He showed us the most elegant and stylish assorsment of spring and summer goods, both foreign and domestic, of designs especially prepared for his house. Those favoring "Nicoll, the Tailor," with their patronage, need have no fear of seeing their suits duplicated on the backs of Tom, Dick or Harry, who favor the many shoddy shops in which this city abounds. "Nic oll, the Tailor," employs none but the mostfikillful, artistic cutters and efficient workmen, and such is the promptitude of the house that a suit can be ready to wear six hours after the measure is taken if de sired. Suits are made in a superior manner from $20 to $60. Connoisseurs of dress and the general pub lic will, therefore, see that "Nicoll, the Tailor," can meet their wants more effectually and economically than any other house. His country trade is also increasing Immensely. His rules and system for self-measurement are so simple and reduced to such fine mathematical prin ciples that any one living at a distance or in the country can measure themselves with the greatest ease, and ensure a perfect fit. These rules and self measurement guide with a good selection of sam ples are mailed free on application. To those who have never patronized the famous house of "Nicoll, the Tailor." we would advise them to take the first leisure hour and inspect the marvels of clothing fabrics in his elegant establishment, 727 Market street, San Francisco.
