"Most certainly. Now give me the letter,

the satin paper, it look quite arlstocratic.

SO spoke Adele Jones, a day scholar in
the great grand French school of Nine. Nor
vile, addressing herself toNlary Somcrs, a
boardcr in the same establishments. Adele
and Mary were intimate friends such
friends as school girls are at the giddy age
when they do not even know the meaning
of the word, and think it means pleasant
indulgence for each other faults and ca
prices
Adele was this very day giving her friend
Mary SOmcrS what she called proof OF
friendship she was conveying n letter to a
young and favoritc singer, whom the girls
had both heard at a recent concert, and with
whom Mary had fallen what she called des-
pcratcly i'll love.
Be it known to all who have daughters at
these grand boarding schools that the day
ton with the outward world, whether fol
unwhnlcsomc sweetneatS or dangerous
swecthearts Mary Somers had no secrets
! from Adele. AT the concert they had sat
side by side, aud together had discussed
| the lovely eyes, and sweet mOustache, and
the melting voice Of the young tenor, who,
used to homage from girls as foolish as them
selves, scarcely vouchsated to cast glance
on them but of course these girls, utterly
ignorant of the world, judged this man by
themselves, and imagined he would be de-
! lighted to know that the lovely, young, and
romantic Mary Somcrs, was in love with
him.
Putting their two wild heads together
next day during the time of the recess, the
girls had come to the decision that the only
;, way was to write love letter, which ac
! cordingy, had been concoctcd, written,
signed and sealed. OF course, being the
time of the recess, when no lessons are going
. on, it was nobody's business to sec what tn,
girls were about.
