"What Of that Frank Seymour, you
never mean to say that yca would have
anything to do with common factory
girl"
IL should pronounce her very -un
common factory girl, mother" said the
young man, with aggrivating calmness.
"Frauk, don't jest with me-" pleaded
the poor little mother, with tears in her
eyes. Tell me at once that you will give
up that idle fancy for girl who is in no
respect equal 70 YOU
"No-she is in no respect my equal"
returned Frank, with reddening cheek
and sparkling eye, 'but it is becar,e shc
is in every respect my superior. Grace
Teller is one of the nob!est women that
ever brcathed this terrestrial air, as well
as one OF the most beautiful. Mother, I
love her, as she has promised to be my
wife"
Mrs. Seymour cat down, limb, lifeless
and despairing
Frank, Frank, I never thought to
SEE my son marry factory grill"
And then a torrent Of tears came to
her relief, while Frank went or quietly
touching up the scralet foliage ola splon-
did old maple in the foreground Of his
picture.
II
$50 ycu are determined to marry me,
Frank, in spite Of everything ?"
Grace Teller had been crying; the
dew was vet on her eyelashes, and the
unnatural crimson on her cheeks, as
Frank Seymour came in, and Mary Elton
considerably slipped out "to search for a
missing pattern
IL should rather think so,' said Frank
looking admirably down on the golden
head that was STOPPING among the pansies
But your mother thinks me far be-
low 3ou in social position -
Social position be-ignored What
DO care for social position, as long as
my little Oracle has consented to make
the sunshine Of my home! p
Yes, bu, Prank"
"Well, but Grace %
"Do you really love ME? ?"
For ans Ter he took both the fair, deli.
cate little hands, and looked steadily into
her eyes.
Crank, said Grace Teller, demurely,
I'm afraid you'll make dreadful strong
willed, obstinate SOFT Of husband"
81 shouldn' wonder, Oracle"
And so the golden twilight faded into
a purple softer than the shadow of east
ern amethysis, and the stars came out
one by one, and sill Frank and Oracle
talked on, and still Mary Elton didn't
succeed in iilding chat pattern.
Mrs. Seymour was the first guest to ar
rive at Mrs. RanlalPs select soiree on |
the first Wednesday evening in July
the fact was, she wanted a chance to con-
fde her grief to Mrs. Kandall's sympa-
thetic ear.
"Crying? Yes of course, 1 have been
crying, Mrs. Randall-Tve done nothing
but cry for week"
"Mercy upon US said Mrs. Randall,
slevating her kid gloved hands, ''what is
he matter? hope Frank isn't in any
,ort of trouble p
My dear said the old lady, in a
mysterious whisper, "Frank has been en-

"Wen," thought Mrs. Seymour, as her {
