harvest from the dandies whose button holes she
deigned to adorn with her own fair hands. She
was not to be found at the Chateau des Feurs. She
was missed from the Opera Comique. Never did

the fair Fadette. Her mother, in despair, few to

was being made The suggestion of the foolish
lout proved true. the blushiDg Fadette was drawn
forth and recognized by the angry mother, who,
however, after little reasoning, was led to ac-
knowledge that the position which her daughter
occupied as gardener in the greenhouses Of the
splendid mansion above alluded to is far preferable
