Come, Kate, you are joking. Show me
Miss Frazer
I was never more serious in my life.
That young lady yonder is certainly our
Harry
But you told me she was BELLE
80 she is
We'll, always knew it did Mt take much
beauty to set one up as belle; but. really i
sef all the bellies ever saw, she has the
smallest quantity Of good looks. Why, she
is positively homely.'
How can you shy 50? Look at her eyes.
They are all well enough, but nothing
a.ore.'
Her hair -
Don't mention it, 8
Her complexion 2
Yes, that is her only beauty but that is
nothing unusual. Red haired girls geaer-1
have that redeeming feature
'WoRld you Ike to have ali introduction
to her I? s
'By-and-by, perhaps; I'm in no haste
Just now, too, she seems to have quite a
sufficient number around her. \;
She always has that; and expect to see

had been his Elsa vis, and to her he played

had set her heart on seeing him charmed
with her friend Harry,
At last quite desperate, she went to Miss
Frazer, and said to her: III.

In small village ike Enfb dd1ytown where
everybody knew everybody else, such state
Of things as !t-so Of the rsost conspicuous
members gifts society remaining Nnacquain-
ted with each other, and any length Of time
was quite out Of the question and Kate
soon had the satisfaction Of seeing Mr.. Lat
inner duly presented to Miss Frazer; bet
with this first step contrary to her expecta-
lions, the acquaintance seemed likely to
end.
It is a singular fact, perhaps to be no-
counted for only from perversity Of human
nature. that if you are particularly anxious
to have two people like each other, they are
sure to 60 to the opposite extreme. and to
find each other either very uninteresting or
positively dasagreeeblc.
So it was in the present instance.
Poor Kate rather niuaicioasly spared no
pains to throw her coesin and her friend
together, hoping that as they became better
acquainted. they woald like each other;
but on the contrary, every interview seemed
enly to increase their mutual aversion.
