az declare believe mamma thinks
that your sister is to be married to MI.
Glassock!" said Lucy.
'And so she is-.isnt she" said Lady
Rowley.
ooh, nam maj said Nora, jumping up.
at is Caroline-this one, this one, this
one"-and Nora took her friend by the
arm as she spoke-"it is this one that
is to be Mrs. Glascock."
"Itis most natural mistake to make, y
said Caroline.
Lady Rowley became very red in the
face, and was unhappy. 81 declare" she
said, that they told me it was your
elder sister"
But | have no elder sister," said
Caroline laughing.
"Of course she is Oldest" said Nora
"and looks to be 50, ever so much. Don't
you, Mss Spaldingp
al have always supposed So"
al don't understand it at ALL" said
Lady Rowley, who had no image before
her midd's eye but that of Wallachla
Petrie, and who was beginning to feel
that she had disgraced her own Judg,,
ment by the criticisms she had expressed
everywhere as to Mr.. Glascock's bride
a. don't understand it at all. Do you
mean that both your sisters are younger
than you, Miss. Spalding ~
81 have only got Que, Lady Rowley.
Mamma, you are thinging OF Miss
Petrie," said Nora, c!apping both her
hands together.
"Imean the lady that wears the black
bugles."
"Of course you do-Miss Petrie.
Mamma has all along thought that Mi.
Glascock was going to carry away with
him the republican Browning!"
ooh, mamma, how can you have made
such a blunder~ sad Sophie ROwley.
"Mamma does make such delicious
blunders"
Sophie my dear, that is not a proper
way of speaking
But, dear mamma, don't you :"
"If somebody has told me wrong, that
has not been my fault" said Lady Row
ley.
The poor woman was so evidently dis
concerted that Caroline Spalding was
quite unhappy. "My dear Lady Rowleey,
there has been no fault. And why
shouldn't it have been so. Wallachia is
so clever, that it is the most natural
thing in the world TO have thought"
II cannot say that agree with you
there said Lady Rowley, somewhat re-
covering herself.
"You must know tho whole truth
now" said Nora, turning to her friend,
land Won must not be angry with us II
we laugh a little at yOur poetess. Nam
ma has been frantic with Mr.. Glascock
because he has been going to marry
whom shall / say-her edition of you
She has sworn that he must be insane
When we have sworn how beautiful you
were, and how nice, and how Jolly, and
all the rest of it-she has sworn that
you were at least hundred, and that
you had a red nose. You must admit
that Miss Petrie has red nose
''IS that SIM"
"NOt at all in the woman who has II;
but in the man who is going to marry II
yes. Can't you see how we have all
been at cross purposes, and what mann
ma has been thinking and saying OF
poor Mr.. Glascock You mustn't repeat
it, of course; but we have such battle
here about it, We thought that mann
ma had lost her eyes and her ears and
her knowledge of thisgs in general. And
now it has all come out. You won't be
angry ~
why should be angry r.
Miss Spalding," said Lady Rowley
81 am really unhappy at what has oc
Cured, and | hope that there may bt
nothing more said about it. i am quite
sure that somebody told me wrong, or
should not have fallen into such an ct
ror. beg your pardon-and Mr.. Glas
cocks"
BEG Mr.. Glascock's pardon, certain
ly," said Lucy.
Miss Spalding looked very pretty
smiled very gracefully, and coming ~
to Lady Rowley to say goodbye, kisses
her on her cheeks. This overcame tn
spirit of the disappointed mother. AM
Lady Rowley never said another wor'
against Caroline Spalding or her mar
riage. Now, mamma, what do yo
think of herr" said Nora as soon a
Caroline was gone.
"Was it odd, my dear, that / shoul
be astonished at his wanting 70 MARI,
that other woman 7"
But, mamma, when we told vol
that she was young and pretty ant
brightw
~ thought that you were all dement,
ed. did indeed. | still think it a pit,
that he should take AN American.
think that Miss Spalding is very nice
but there are English girls onite a
looking as her" After that tier
was not another word said by LADY Row
ley against Caroline Spaldinp,
Nora, when she thought OF il all tho
night, felt that she had hardly smoke,
to Miss Spalding as she should hay
spoken as TO the treatment in Euglan
which would be accorded to Mir. Gla
cocks wife. She became aware of Il
effect which her own hesitation mu,
have had, and thought that it was b,
duty to endeavor to remove 1t. PtFhap
too, the conversion of her mother ha
some effect in making her feel that 81
had been wrong in supposing that the
would be any difficulty in Caroline
position in England. She had heard
much adverse criticism from her moth
that she had doubted in spite of her ON
convictions; but now it had come
