At this time his cousin determined up.
on q party, chiefly in honor Of young
lady from New York, q representative Of
the best society Of that city, to whom
Alice wished 70 DO especial honor.
When Jerry appeared to escort his
cousin down stairs to the brilliantly light
ed parlors, she was surprised to see that
he was attired in fashionable style. In
reply to her interrOgatOries, he said: :
kinder thought I'd like to dress little
more in Boston style, SO went out and
bought some new clothes. They cost q
mint of money, but darn the expense,
When I'm in Boston I'm going to do as
the Romans do

Entering q room where a number had
already assembled. Miss Emma Dicken-

cousin did the honors of the arriving

and young military gentleman.
Good heavens thought she, how on
earth did Jeremiah get introduced to Miss

lous.'
But she had no time for remonstrance.
The music struck up.
TO her surprise Jeremiah went through
the figure with perfect prOpriety. He
did not jump about as anticipated.
The 0uadrille over. she went up to the
pair.
Il didn't know you had been intro.
duced to my cousin said Alice.
We have been acquainted for two
years. said Miss Vancouver, quietly.
Where did you meety' asked Alice,
amazed.
In New York said her cousin, signifi-
cantly. 4 was ut the time college stu

however, till the party was over, when
her cousin made an explanation, adding

rather hasty in assuming that all who live
