lady entered and with a graceful wave Of
the hand preventing our friend from rising
to give her place, quietly sank into a seat
near the end. When hymn was given
out, she skillfully found the page, and
with sweet smile that set his heart a
humping, handed her neighbor the book
The minister raised his hands in prayer,
and the fair girl knelt. and in this posture
perpIexed her friend to know which most
TO admire, her beauty or her devoutness.
Presently the prayer was concluded
and the congregation resumed their seals
Our friend respectfully raised his eyes
from the fair form he had been so earnest
y scanning, lest, when she looked up, she
would detect him staring at her. After
a couple Of seconds he darted furtiye

A brief examination revealed tie cause of
the difficulty; the fair girl wore fashioua

highest hoop Of the new tangled skirt
caught over them, and thus rendered it
impossible for her to raise herself or

things wives may laugh al, but they sink
