Madame; "bht you know they

the way with her light flying steps,

The young ladies were all at rec.

ventilated rooms being everything
that health required. I caught a

We opened our little sketch BY
saying that Madame Chevron was
the funniest little French woman
that ever danced q polka. For she
did dance the polka, schottische,
lancers. and quadrilles. . SO ,.-.
Dancing will never do you any
harm, my children, she would say
to her three hundred, "as long MS
you observe my two restrictions IN

in daylight, and, second, always
dance with ladies. God give yus
night and the Sabbath for repose,
aud VIC should not profane either
the one or the other; and as long
rs yon are my pupils, you must
not dance with gentlemen. So

"But, dear Madame ;" said pret.

brightness in your eyes?'
"Oh, no, no, Madame" said

"Oh, dear Madamel what a
lovely prize," burst from the de.
lighted throng. s-' 5'
No wonder their cheeks glowed
with health and their eyes sparkled
with nerriment. No one can be
healthy who Is not bsppy. ~

Annie and I have almost two
years TO wait for our wedding---a
long, long time, but ! suppose it

and our dear ugly little Psyche,
Madame Chevron, does not say
"nay," but smiles and mods, "Ail
