The speakers, Mrs. Gill and Mrs.

mongers ever in Lentieth, held their
tongues and exchanged glsnces, as a
young and pleasant-faced lady came
tripping up the steps of the store where
they were talking. She noticed them
with cool bow, for Garry Stanley
knew their characters well, and despised
them accordingly. But they were not
to be SO easily put off with their errand
of mischief, and when she emerged
from the store, with her hands full of
mysterious little packages, she found
them waiting for her still.
Mrs. Dane, whose vinegar-like as

dressed her first.

exasperatingly innocent air imaginable.

muttered something indistinct, and took
refuge behind the slab-sided proportions
of Mrs. Dane. e

-"Sold sold! Mostabominably sold !"
That was the murmur that began to
circulate around the crowded rooms
and out they rushed, burning with
shame and rage, while the bridal party
were sitting mcrrily together over a
