A July sun lavished its gold ami threw into the gardeu'all the infinite that a bouquet is capable of holding. A butterfly which was fluttenng around like two flower petals set free by the wind brushed past my hand, leaving on it a little of its flue, white

powder.

And thereafter her favorite amusement wax to sit under a tree and rasa all the day kissing the rosy tija of her slender fingers. Tijl one day she saw a rose. The rose was there before her, scarcely a rose-, almost pale in i umphaut grace. It opened and widened, radiant as a star, luminoas and living, almost human; like a woman. A tiger ]ia.sing that way lingered to gaxe on it and wept from tenderness. Then Eve felt somethiirg stirred within her. She cudcrsttxxl that througlMiut all eternity she had a rival Beautiful as she wax, tho rose was uot Iom beautiful. Perfume against perfume, grace against grace, to the end of time their charms would be pitted against one another and there would he on endless and unceasing struggle. In vain impassioned poets of all ages would tty iu enthusiastic madrigals to prove to their mistresses the defeat of the sovereign flower. Eve bad no illusions on the subject. The rose would always defy her. and to woman's eternal humiliation, she would be compared — her sph-miid and victorious rival. A sadness, of which yon can form no idea, took possession of her, whose supremacy. a* know lodg'd by nil other created things, was dispnted by a mere flower, fcbc no longer bad any pleasure * u ie limpid streams, who-o clear wamourued her bright image. Tho swans, whose whiteness had not rivaled hers, still sported on the azure lakes, but Eve no longer watched them. All night she dreamed bitterly of bei rival and tossed uncomforted under the.

Au amusing case of absentminded•ss was exp- ricuc-d by a vonng aouth der tbo other evening. The young an is usually of a bright nature, but fqranmo ttijjo past his friends have been noticing that ho dot* some peculiar things. Not loilgxepo ho wasat a reception, and a few minutes before closing time ho went to tbo coat box and secured his hat mid coat. Then ho walked up stairs to tho dancing floor and picked np another coat and walked home will] St on lii* nrm. Arriving at his borne, ho fonnd that ho had onecoat on and another on his arm. The next day he found the owner of the tra coat, and mutual explanations I lowed and all was well. But that i been eclipsed by his latest exploits Ho had finished his toilet and started for tbo street. As soon mi ho made bis appearance he was greeted with smib from everybody who saw him. E walked down tho street and could m imagine What made tho passers by smile at him. Finally ho reached tho restaurant where ho takes his meals, end then b« realize*! that ho was carrying something iu his hand. He looked at it and found that jie had carried tho lighted lamp from his loom and had walked several blocks along tho main street

with it in his hand.
