her mother, sat at her sketching-table.-
There was rosy color in her. cheeks, al

opened very wide in admiring glances al
the exquisite fabrics that adorned the little
person. Mrs. Hamilton made reply with 8
musical laugh:
She was sure she never thought of it al

Mary raised her eyebrows little, and
Media with higher color, made reply, fi
people like US, aunt Dora, they will be viii
ling to come in the way we do; and if they
don't, who wants them! ~
Though she said it in bantering way
yet aunt Dora had learned to know the
spirited curl of the lip; and as she often
declared, that 'the pertness Of that girl was
surprising she did not answer her at all
The truth is, said Mary, coloring lit
tie, I'VE want to be fair and just with every
body. We are determined that the chill

There's Mr.. Browning; you know what a

honesty or not. I do think your dro,es
are the hardest set Of people-not hat
Lawrence is one, you know-but he will
be if he keeps on. He's so terribly good
now, that hardly dare to speak with him.
Media looked up astonished, and Harry
only said, quietly,
Won't you take off your things ana stop
with US p
60 no, thank you; I've left coach at
the door. It's so fatiguing to walk a. over
New York. And by the way, I've bought
the brightest beauty of child's carriage
you ever saw. It's perfect miacle of
loveliness, and indeed, it ought tobe, for
gave hundred dollars for it,
Again Media looked up from he face
she was sketching, and regarded ler aunt
with grave wonder
well, perhaps itlooks extravapnt,' said
Dora, carelessly; yet feeling that to such
strict economists some apology WIS necessa-
