from Mss Flora NJ avllle, for having caused
me TO lose an order worth one hundred and
fifty francs.
Judge.-Explain the facts.
Madame.-Yes sir. About two months
| ago, Miss Leontine De Crllon was to be
married to the Prince Of Cermont Tonnere;
the ,lnat Agifts- we're to be magniiceniS
| received an order to make a dress for the
bride; it was to be a chef d'eyre. Splendid
lace, pearls, gimp--all the mlrvels of the
art Of dress-making were to be united. But
something more rare at that time was want
ing; it was a natural white rose--a rose at
the end Of February!
Judge.-And Miss Flora engaged TO pro-
cure one for you?
Madame-Yes sir; she cuItivates flowers,
and often sells them to the great milliners of
| the capital. went to her and she pro missed
to let me have one of the two roses she then
possessed, for twenty-five francs, which sum
was to be paid OH delivery depended on
her promise, but she did not keep it faith
iuIly for did not receive the rose, and for
that reason they refused to take the we'd
ding dress.
Judge. (o Miss Flora. why did you
not deliver the rose?
Miss Flora, with timidity. Ut was not
my fault. The evening before the day on
which had promised the white rose to Ma
dame GalIen, shower, which took place
during nv absence, made the flower ex-
pand, and some hours afterwards nothing re-
NAMED but the stem. What / tell you is
the truth
judge believe you, young girl. But
the second rose, could YOU not have deliv-
cred that?
Miss Flora, with tears in her eyes )-Oh!
as to that, it was not promised. Madame
Gallien would certainly have accepted it,
for it was the more beautiful Of the two, but
could not give it. 1t was destined to my
|, mother.
Judge--Was it her birth day?
Miss Flora, (sorrowfully mo, sir, it was
the anniversary of her DEATH profound
sensation in the auditory.] Every year lay
on her tomb one of those white roses which
she so much loved. This year | did the
same. | said to myself, the bride will be as
handsome with a flower less, and my poor
mother shall again to day have her favorite
rose.
Here Miss Flora shed abundant tears and
Madame GalIien, endcavoring to console
her, said to the Judge-''Stop the cause,
sir, it is wrong for me to modest this poo
girl for good action, let US say no more a
bout it, it is a misfortune that cannot be
helped All that wish for compensation
is to have daughter like Miss Flora
