The ncAt g. cning behold Charley at his
oid post ia "the seminary" parlor.
One day Charley asked: Would
Miss Jennie like to take ride on
horseback with him"
"oh, yes. indeed The very thing
charming, delightful" :" said the i'm
pulslNe Jennie.
30 the lde was planned to come OH
ON the following Saturday but Jcl-
mes enthusiasm was very much cooled
when she remembered that she didn't
have tile first sign of riding habit
but happy second thought suggested.
that If she didn't have riding habit
she had money 10 get one.
Acting on this. as soon Is school
was out she went 10 "the store"
bought the dress. took it to the dress
makers waited for It 10 be cut ont and
tried on, gave the most positive in
functions that it should be done by
Saturday, and got home in time 10 cor
rect haIf dozen compositions before
tea. SO YOU may know, reader mine,
she was q right smart little piece of
humanity.
Well, Saturday dawned bright and
beautiful, and when Mr.. Charles West
wood role up 10 1.-THE seminary" Jen-
ME was standing on the porch radiant
with happiness, and her new riding
habit all trimmed up with bright brass
buttons, etc. Charley was so overcome
BY the fair vision as TO almost lose his
identity, but managed TO recover hun
self enough TO raise his hat and say,
Woodworking, Miss Jennie" and
then to take that little gloved hand and
lead her down the steps.
Jennie blushed 50, that one of 1.-THE
girls, peeping from the window, said
he must be squeezing her hand awfully.
Wei, perhaps he was. don't know, a
person. in love does SO many silly
/ things.
Now they are mounted and off and
while they are enjoying their ride, l
want 10 tell YOU little secret. Jennie
wore 4 stoitch. II was a great trial, as
well as source of ln9rliicatlon ~ this
lovely maiden ; but what was she to do:
She coul,in't 20 about with a little knot
on the back OF her head no larger than
a walnut, when fashion, had decreed
that ladies should have abundant suits
Of hair.
Jennie's hair was lovely, what there
Was of it-whIch was, oh such a lit
tie bit that she was fain to fill up the
void ON the back OF her head with a
switch.
Well, to return to our equestrians.
They cantered along for awhile, when
presently hair pm dropped out Of
Jennie head, which was soon followed
by another, ani another aud YOU may
be sure the thoughts suggested thereby
were not remarkably pleasant. Now
the caYter changed TO brisk trot. and
the euil OF shining black hair y jump
ing ~ and down ut . terrible rate.
"Oal never mind your hair; let 1t
come down." said Charley, as Jennie
kept putting her hands TO the back OF
her head.
.well, please don't go so fast, Mr.;
westwood; I don't like it" replied
Jennie.
So they rode slowly, and Charley
told Jennie what be had been wanting
to tell her this long time, viz; HE
loved her and would she be his vile
