Rosa Reynolds tended the milliner's shop
of her mother in the somewhat arstocratie
town of E. I 90 not know how long
she had discharged the important duties O
honnet-seliing and fashion-selling, but l dc
know that at the time of which we write she
was full twenty-fonr years old, and no sultoI
had ever generousl y proposed an exchange
Of his fortune and heart for the privilege O
calling Rosa his wife.
With all this. though, she WAS a neat, Ia
i dy--like girl, with bright eyes, and face Of
that healthful, rosy type of beauty which al
ways find favor with men OF sense, she hao
fitted IL ard cut of doors waited upon hun
DIRE !sof customers with a ready smile ofgooo
humor, and won admirat ior from all, but h:>
never gained for herself lover. This was il,
the days of courtships and marriage. and ii
might be supposed that the temper of any
young lady would have sourcd with So much
ill-luck. Not with the pretty little millmel
girl, for each morning found her pleasanter
than the day before, and customers wondered
! if she ever had serious thought;
! But Rosa was not the thoughtleSs, reckless
Gre ature for which she was given credit

replaced the caps ard the lace, the bonnets
and ribbons, she could not help wonderin 9
that wearying round of shop tending-if she
must ever wind up her life like the tapes and
ribbons she daily arranged. Her heart was
too warm and tender to find comfort in the
gewgaws and triyolitics of fashion and style
She yearned, as thousands of others in like
occupation have hopclessly yearned, for tn Z
sacred circle of home, and the love that makes
! i!s walls bright Aye, what crowds OF women
with capabilities and temperaments to make
men happy and children good, have gone
down to old age and the grave unblessed and
unhonored with the rising voice Of an Off
spring. and yet mca so about looking into
ball rooms and stone palaces for the comfort

tho truth Of the adge, ''All is not god that

In the town Of E- there were men
who looked upon the rounded plump form
and glowing face Of Rosa Reynolds as Eve
gazed upon the forbidden fruit Bat that
was all, for the calm dignity with which she
received their stale compliments, folied their
purposes, and abushed, they turned away
from Ter prcsenca She treated no one i'll,
and no one dared to offend or insult her,
Secure in her virtue, ahd joyous with health
and beauty, she moved on in life smoothly
and may be content.
One bright June morning she stood beside
the counter with propped elbow and resting
head. gazing out into the street and watch
ing the passers by. She was wondering to
herself i tEcy could ever be more to her
than the bcwitched crowd from whom she
should draw money, and if in old age any
tender hand would press her cheek or clasp
her form and whisper, "mothcr. dear mother =
while the tenignant face of an enfeebled hus-
band looked approvingly on. Or should she
be doomed to fall into an unhonorea and de-
solate grave; having made no heart happier
for her eNistenCe, re5retful for the destiny
that hath doomed US to die How dcso!ate
seemed the vision. THE great tcardrops
gathered III her elfss, and fell one by enc up
on the gsistening glass Of the showcase and
her little form trclnbled with the agony OF
her own thoughts.
A tall form darI1cned The door way, and
/ Rosa looked up. The tears were all gone
and there fingered on her face just cnou gh of
cloud TO make brighter the rising light.
The Young man was dressed in gray cot
Iton Jeans, with slouchcd hat and heavy beard.
Pecring cautiously around. he enquircd-

will you have?'
"So,ne pink satin: if s-ou please, mum -
"Wel, here it Is sir said Rosa, placing u

the blocks made his decision. am afrai
that he bt1sicd his mind more with the pretty
face before him than the kind and quality o
