found himself deeply in love. One look; one
word, and he was gone.
Miss Lois Jones, {he hated the name of
Jones,) let me introduce Mr.. Harvey. He
bowed to Miss Jones, and looked at her.
A little delicate figure, pair of soft blue
eyes, a maze of white lace, and tinny, deli
cately gloved hand. These were the first
impressions. A voice, low and sweet, mod
ulated like music well chosen phrases, and
a modest yet self-possessed manner, and
graceful department flushed the fascination.
In sort of misty pleasure, Ellis waltzed
with this wee fairy who had somehow come
right into his heart, whose door he fancied
so strongly fortified. He called, and found
his fascinator in neat wrapper, teaching
two little sisters grammer. He learned that
her father was wholesale grocer, and found
she had three strong minded sisters. lie
spent a week with her married brother on
country farm, and breakfasted every day on
salt mackerel, because she sat opposite to
him and did the same. He helped her over
a stile when her wrapper was green and her
sun-bonnet blue, while red shawl of her
sisters hung over her arm. He heard her
scream with terror over her little nephew
who fell into the horse pond, and dragged
her out, with the boy in her arms, when she
fIanticalY sprang in after him. He never
noticed that shrek is not melodious. He
saw her lovely face covered with musquito
bites, and he knew that the whiteness over
them was powder, and yet-and yet-he
never knew how, he proposed, was accepted,
