A Globk reporter was sitting in thechiefs office yesterday, when a charm-ing young lady entered the door andtimidly inquired ifshe was in the chief'soffice. The chief was not in, but hissecretary was there, and the suave man-ner in which he reassured her that shewas in the right office gave her strengthto make her pathetic appeal. She did

A petite,though plump and well-rounded form,and a musical, silvery voice added not alittle to her personal attractiveness, andit is not to be wondered at that shereadily found a host of friends. Mabelfirst went to live in a modest boardliouse in the lower part of the street,and obtained employment in one of themany adjacent factories.

To" her room-mate Mabel in confidencestated that she had come to New Havenfrom New Orleans, where she hadmany relatives. She did not say whyshe had left her' kinsfolk so far awayami come to New Haven to work in ashop, but conveyed the impression thatshe had had some misunderstandingwith them and that she had determinednever to see them again. Mabel'sbright, pretty face. and winning, wayssoon gained her a host of masculine ad-mirers, but from the first young Granbyseemed to find the most favor in hereyes. . Granby was somewhat similarlysituated as herself. He had come fromEngland not long before on account ofan idea he had taken into his head thatEngland was not large enough for hisbrother and himself, as he had had abitter quarrel with his brother over thedivision ofsome property and had em-barked for America in a huff. :

Perhaps a feeling of mutual lonelinessfirst served as a bond of riedship be-tween John and Mabel, but, be that asit may, the fact remains to record thatthe young couple were engaged, and theengagement was shortly followed by amarriage. John, who had always beena thrifty, provident soul, had laid by alittle money for a rainy day, gettingmarried or some similar emergency, andwent in for a big wedding. He wantedto have the ceremony, performed inchurch, in the old English style, withbridesmaids, best men. a ring, two cler-gymen and a full choir, but, singularlyenough, as it seemed, Mabel was decid-edly opposed to this scheme. She want-ed to lie married very quietly, and sug-gested that a justice of the peace couldtie the knot as effectively as a parson, ifnot so gracefully. Finding persuasionof no avail, John submitted with. all thegrace at his disposal, and the ceremonywas performed by a magistrate. * ;

Everything went well till last week,when a black pall fell upon the. maritalfelicity of. Mr. and Mrs. Granby andmade the future look black, at least tohonest John.

Mrs. Granby was attending to herhousehold, duties as usual the othermorning when a shadow approached thedoorway and immediately the figure ofaman might have been seen standing onthe threshold. The stranger was talland dark. His face, albeit a handsomeone, had a sinister expression, and evenhis heavy .and carefully .trained"mus-tache was~curled"in a manner that wouldremind one ofthe whiskers of the devilin the spectacular play. _. . ...

The stranger stood in the doorway amoment and seemed to be devouring thepretty young woman with his eyes. *

"Mabel," he said finallyin a low tone,as he advanced a step or two into theroom.

Mrs. Granby turned quickly aroundand with a little shriek sank into achair. y. :>.m

'•What! you here, Henry?" shegasped in a choking voice.

'1 am here," replied the- strangerquietly. "Ittook me some • time to ar-rive, but Iam most certainly here now,"he went on grimly.

"What do you want now, Henry?"Mrs. Granby seemed to stand much infear of this newcomer. . •'*• ;•*:-!"Iwant you," was the stranger's re-ply. "Atany rate I have many thingsto say to you," and with that he closedthe door as though fearful that someone might lie listening. And he wasright. A neighbor who had witnessedthe stranger's arrival had •' curiouslystopped to note what would follow.

hat took place between pretty Mrs.Granby ami the stranger is not known,but in about an hour the two left thehouse together. They have not beenheard from since. When John camehome to his dinner there was no mealready - for him. Not finding his wife heasked the neighbor who had witnessed .a part of the morning transaction if sheknew where Mabel was, and then helearned what has been chronicled above":'Mystified "and somewhat alarmed,' John-re-entered his apartments, and uponlooking about he found a hastily-written note from his wife whichinformed him that she had goneoff with her former husband, whosename, she wrote, was Henry Max-well. Mabel went on briny state thatshe had been married in St. Mary's Par-ish, near New Orleans,to Maxwell.somethree years ago, but hap left him. • Shehad afterward heard that Maxwell wasdead and had thus married again. Max-well had turned up very much alive and- had sworn to have both her and' her"dear John" arrested for bigamy unless-she went away with him at once, and-so-she had acknowledged his prior claimand had gone off "just to save trouble."John has stated' that he suspects theman with whom she left was never* herhusband. "He says he will trace her outand learn all the facts in the mysteriouscase if it takes him a lifetime.

Curioslyenough, it Is inlWall street"that one is cer-,tain to see themost, stylish*and beautiful,women whoare now to bemet with inthe streets.They drivedown the fourstreets that in-close the brok-ers' offices andthe stock ex-change in de-lightful littlevictorias. 'loll-ing on thecushions aslightly as if

their bodies were really the mere cloudsofgauze that their drapery makes themseem like. A liveried man drives eachwagon.and a gaudy parasol shields eachhaughty beauty. Always, as each light-balanced victoria approaches Trinitychurch, at the head of Wall street, theteams are reined up until their pace isthe very next thing to a standstill, andone sees the brokers liftingtheir hats oneither side ofthe street. Here and therea victoria is seen to stop as a youngspeculator in white flannels stepsinto the street to greet the fairlounger on the cushions. Yet youcannot help but notice that such sightsare infrequent and excite a great dealof comment from the onlookers, just asyou also are sure to notice that most ofthe polite men who lifttheir hats do sovery hurriedly, with apparent awkward-ness and without looking fairly at thecarriages. Their manner is exactlywhat you would look for in a man whoexpects to be guyed for his behavior ifthe people around him chanced to seewhat he was at.

The truth is that those who bow tothose daily apparitions of beauty arevery awkwardly placed, for "the secret"M greatly disturbed over the victorias,and their occupants know it so wellthat many do not wait until they are atleast a couple of blocks away, wherethe more timid brokers, having seen theslow-moving carriages pass their doors,have gone hastily, by back alleys andshort cuts, to meet them out of sightfrom Wall street. For these women areadventuresses coming down to specu-late with their lightly gotten incomes,and their daily presence in such greatnumbers as now come there has scan-dalized the more circumspect operatorson 'Change. • y.\ " - !;?? *,*f.

THE PARIS MODISTE.

Apprentice, "Appreteuse" and"Garnisseuses"— Regular "FirstXighters."

Paris Letter to the London Telegraph.M. le Koux, a well .known French

.author, has justpublished a book givingan admirable sketch of the ordinary lifeand labors of the Lutetian milliner.According to him the ranks of themodistes are largely recruited fromschoolmistresses whocannot find pupils,daughters of theatrical people who donot like to expose their children to theperils of the stage, and persons whoseparents have come down in the world.Never does the Parisian milliner allowherself to be called an ouvriere. She is,on the contrary, a demoiselle, and theverypoorest of these demoiselles woulddie rather than cross the street like awork girl, that is to say, without hat orgloves. In some great houses of mil-linery, dignity is so much -thought ofthat the staircase leading to the

\u25a0 modistes' rooms is often marked "Es-: calier dcs artistes." . '.-{,.- "->--\u25a0-•-;.-.._••:/'.•.The apprentice milliner, who has paida premium, is allowed to sew wirearound hats ami to work on old models,while the charity apprentice, or modil-lon. picks up pins from the floor of theworkroom, runs erraiwls for the artistes,and carries parcels for the firm all overParis. Afteralxmt two years' appren-ticeship the blossoming modiste becomesan appreteuse and earns about £**per

'month; eagerly awaiting the while herelevation to the rank of \u25a0 garnisseuse.jThese (the garnisseuses) are the stars ofthe profession. They are to .be met'everywhere looking for hints. Theyare at first nights in the theaters, who.like Marie Magnier, have a new cos--tume for each scene in.which they ap-pear. They attend .fashionable wed-dings at the Madeline, and even huntabout the bookshops, and . stalls on thequays, peering over old-fashioned en-gravings. Not so well paid as theseare the vendeuses, who musthave a good deal of tact, an eyefor form and color, ami be able to hit offthe taste of customers to a nicety. Someof the vendeuses, who speak English inaddition to their other accomplishments,receive as much as £120 per annum ingood houses, A few of the "sellers"are also employed in soliciting ordersfor their houses. Milliners are dividedinto two classes, those in shops andthose in apartments or private rooms.

The modiste en boutique is not a "cre-ator" offashions, so she generally semisOne of her most aristocratic looking as-sistants as a customer into the privaterooms or the leading milliners, inorderto ask for the novelties ofthe season.Sometjpies the trick is discovered, andvengeance is taken in many ways pe-culiar to the inventive female mind.On one occasion a premiere, or forewo-main, from a milliner's shop was identi-fied by a fashionable Mine. Mantaliniin her rooms, and was rocked up in a-closet, where she received bread andwater for her sustenance, until her mis-tress had to come, crest fallen and con-fused, to claim her. These are some ofthe sidelights of the lifeof Paris milli-ners, but the subject might easily be en-larged upon.

! IK FOR A I>ITTI.E SHOPPING.

Fashionable Women Assume aStyle of On-tne-Winjj When inTown.

..The fashionable ladies one encountersin town try to assume the appearance ofbeing here for shopping or on-the-wing»and nothing is more amusing than tomeet, under cover of darkness, on theavenue or in restaurants, certain well-,known ones, who, when they appear ona cool day, are acting out. their artfullittle scenes, says the Cincinnati En-quirer. One cannot help noticing thata well-dressed girl is regarded withgreat interest by the males whom shemay happen to meet in . her ! walks uptown or through -the shopping streets,and she realizes, ifnever before, whatall strangers complain of, that NewYork men seem to try to look throughone's very soul.

Intraveling dresses the plain, tailor-. finished costume still holds the leading

place, but many are being made of thinchecked or plaided wool, with jersey tomatch. The more dressy wool costumesare solid color, trimmed with metalbraid, and handsome contrasts between. the braid and fabric are brought aboutas where heliotrope, blue or green aregarnitured by silver. \u25a0•""•- V-t-r - -

Cool morning dresses are made oflinen, which, like everything else, isstill affected by the mania for checksand plaids. Linen ginghams, therefore,are especially stylish, particularly whencombined withplain gingham.

Linen grenadines imitate in ecru,pink, pale blue, heliotrope and maizethe silk goods of that name, and in muchnovelty show open work and brocadedpatterns, but are hardly so attractive asethereal lawns, where on plain ground-works delicate grasses, fairy sprays,

• blossoms or coquettish berries are dis-played in chine effect.

. ATTRIBUTES OF BEAUTY.A Woman Should First of All

Seek to Retain Roseate Health.. A "Beauty Doctor" scores some pointsin Dress as follows:\u0084 A French author (Balzac) once calledugliness :"a grief which lasted *a*life-time." But he did not then know theall-powerful "force of "hygiene ? in " thecultivation and preservation of physicalbeauty. What is, perhaps, the greatest

\u25a0 attribute of beauty is a beautiful skin.1 The skin should be white, smooth, soft '

. _... ... -i • - \u25a0 •-.•-•-•and fresh-colored. A beautiful skinalone is often sufficient to make a woman-beautiful. And -here, again, hygienesteps in, for without health a beautifulskin is impossible. Le Camus, the au-thorof that curious old book "Abdeker,'says: "The most regular beauty could"never -charm me 'if. freshness, purity. and brilliancy of complexion did not en-liven it by adding the radiancy of youthand health." In fact, the complexion isto beauty what spring time is to nature—what the bloom is to the peach— whatthe varied tints are to the wings ofthe butterfly. But, as the smallestcloud can darken a spring morning, asthe contact with another object can re-move the bloom of the peach," and 1, atouch can spoil the -beauty of-a butter-fly's wing, so the slightest derange-ment either of mind or body, darkensand troubles the complexion, and with-out constant care this freshness and thispurity,which make the power of beauty,become like a faded flower. The pres-ervation and cultivation of Ja beautifulskin is, therefore, one of our first du-ties.; ........... ~-- -

Let me warn all ladies from wishingto appear different to what nature '- hasmade them; that is, let no lady who hasbeautiful dark hair attempt to dye ityellow, just because it is fashionable.Dark hair is quite as beautiful as yellowhair, and dark-haired ladies are quite asmuch admired as fair ladies. Nay.shallI tell you a secret, ladies? Statisticstell us that more dark-haired \womenmarry than fair-haired women! Beautyis not molded in one form, it is as variedas the leaves on a tree,and no two typesare exactly alike. -'f \u25a0\u25a0 • "

AnArab poet, however, tells us thata beautiful- woman should have fourthings:

Black—Hair.ovebrows.eyelashos and pupil.White— Skin, teeth and globe of the eye.

Tongue, lips. gums, cheeks. '.Round— neck, arms, ankles, waist.Long—Back. lingers, arms, limDS.

' Large Forehend , eyes, hips. ;.-._',.Eyebrows, nose, lips.

* Fleshy Cheeks, limbs. ' ' •Small— Ears, bust, hands and feet.We willnot discuss the taste of.this

Arab poet, but I may remark that allthe white, red. round and fleshy attri-butes required to form his idea of beautyare purely and simply the reflection ofphysical health. Health alone can giveyouth, freshness and radiancy to thecomplexion and brilliancy to the eyesand an attractive expression to thewhole face. 11l health, on the contrary,dries and discolors the skin, produceswrinkles, makes the face yellow andspoils the color of the teeth, hair andnails. The celebrated Dr. Yon Feuch-tersleben says that "health is I nothingbut beauy in the functions of life."

Something About Fans ofa Highand Low Degree by a Dealer. ]

New York Wail and Express. 'In a large basket on the sidewalk of

Broadway, near Canal . street, there are.a few.hundred fans from which an over-heated pedestrian may take his choice,provided he has the half-dime necessaryto pay for the game.

"This is the cheapest way.to raise thebreeze Iknow of," observed the ownerof the basket from his post in the door-way of his store, as he noticed a reporterexamining the oddly-sorted stock ofwares.

She is a gem shed upon the world inone ofnature's hours of bold abundanceand since she has been called to shineupon the upturned and astonished gazeof man, the rarest fruits of the, earthhave been showered on her in profuseextravagance. Nowhere is this betterillustrated than in her home at LongBranch. Unlike the theater, there allis real, of the finest, quality, the best

There is not a thing thatcould be added or taken away. But, ofcourse, the crowning piece of all Is thegraceful, beautiful Lily.. ;.--.. ...\u25a1The front door opens upon a spacious Ihall, in which stands a tall, old-fash-ioned case clock, but when- the Lilyenters the time-piece disappears. Oneach side of the hall is a spacious par-lor, with French windows, filled withflowers, but when the Lilyappears theyseem to hold but her.

The windows are closed and the blinds'down, so that there is; only a somberlight, or what is. called in the theater a"halfdark." and yet yon can see dis-

t inctly. The general effect is pink and'white, relieved with old . gold and oddbits of other colors, or rather shades, .cast negligently here and there.

The carpet is dull white and thick .enough to hush the footsteps of an ele-phant, and over itall Turkish rugs as

rare in pattern and texture as they arevelvety and yielding. The bedstead isbrass so slender as to appear hardlystrong enough to support a fairy, but itis firm and solid and wide for all that,and capable of sustaining the Lily's
