"of age, Glare, and beginning to go

The two looked at each other, and
the smile faded out of Clare's face leav-
ing it dark. Was it9only the freight
that sent that sudden flash over Che
girls cheek and made her hide it?-
Glare knewsbetter. In the tone of her
brief answer there rang something SO
like a knell,. that the child at her feet
trembled, and grew pale, not knowing
why. Glare was not thinking of Hec-
tors sister, but Hector himself; and
when by-and-by his-well known knock
sounded through the hall, and his step
was IN the room, he came upon her an
expected guest indeed, but one whom
1t cost her struggle to welcome--only
for moment, however; the next, she
was standing before him, with her arm
round Marion, half smiling at the
sight of his pleading face and agitated
greeting. si

She would have understood him with
out that, well enough; three years since
her story had silenced his boyish love
for herself.

The smile was on her lip still, and
Marion cl1ngto her.
"Oh, Clarel never say that" she
said; ''yours always, both of IS. We
eouldn't do without you.
"Wel echoed Clarel She said it
very softly, as we repeat the name of a
dead friend. Then she stopped to kiss
the girls forehead, and TO put the hand
which trembled so into Hector's, before
she left them.
Many years have passed over Clare's
head since that day, and she has ceased
to question the wisdom that made her
lot lonely. She is happy. Eyes that
are weary with pain turn eagerly to
look after her as she passes, and pale
lips murmur blessings upon blessed
life; how blessed in its self-sacrifice
aud care for others, will be known only
when the secrets of all hearts are told.

PARIS FASHIONS Paris CORE
spondent writes The second court
ball at the Tuileries has Just taken
place; more than 1900 persons were
present, and it was particularly brilli-
ant with ministers and ambassadors
and their wives. Prince Napoleon and
Princess Mathilde attended. The EN-
press wore yellow satin, caught up at
the sides, discovering a white satin
pettlcoat. There was a very long
train, and the whole dress was daintily
elegant with lace and diamonds. She
wore on her head leaves of diamonds.
BY the way, must say something to
my lady readers. The dresses are al
most straight in front, with very long
trains. The skirts are cut biased
The waist on the shoulders is cut high,
and trimmings are placed not on the
upper part OF the sleeve but Just above
on the shoulder, giving the expression
of an epaulette. The under sleeve is
tight, and a large outer sleeve is COM
Ing IN vogue, open from the top and
hned with some pretty colored silk,
similar to the color of the trimmings.
For evening dresses, velvets and satlns
are much worn. For a finish to the
waist peplnm is often worn, bit of the
same material separate from the waist,
which separation highly ornamented
belt .conceals. The peplum is often
attached to the belt, and is series of
squares or lobes more or less deep,
each trimmed with heavy bead trim
mings.
