seemed to dance before her eyes in
letters of fire. The sun in the sky
showed that night was last ap-
preaching, and now that it was
cooler, the gay party began to think
of home.
"Oh, I'll be entirely unfit for to-
nights dancc,' said Eva Turner;
"my face is oil burnt rsd"
tPhillip won't lod you, poor
little sunburnt, trecs faced red
head!" broke in ii tantalizing
Esta. "Why, Eva, 4 ! were you,
I'd 60 right home, and. wrap my
face up in sour milk, lemon or bran
poultices. Seems to me Hsnette
has sn edition of 'Lsdies Toilette
which contains infallible remedies" "
"Yes? / suppose you can vouch
for the infsllibility Of every one Of
them; humph! You sre getting 80

peace; give US the olive branch

to leave some one who could assert
her rights with more yiyacity than

dubbed the aubuFn-hSired Eva.
The party who had been spend
ing tire day in the woods we're the
Summer guests Of Lord Darlington,
at bis Summer residence the Hem
locks--and royalty did he amuse
them, SO that willingly would any
one Of them give up any rare pleas
ure for the sake of ACCEPTING his in
vitation to visit the Heialocks. 1t
was q marvelously beautiful place,
built Of pure white marble and sur
rounded by lawns, lakes and delic-
ious little fsiry-like retreats. Bal
comics beautifully sculptred, large
enough for two Whereon TO be In
spired with the most ubpostical
love. Exquisite marbles and
bronzes, brought from Italy, gleam-
ed and dazzled amidst she rarest
plants. Miniature boats rocked on
the riplets Of the lakes, and lights
cleaned through the colored globes
OF the lsmp-posts in the groves.
And tonight sll the wondrous
beauty is shown off to the best ad-
vantage. Lights simmer and
shine through every portion Of the
vast garden and in every pane Of
heavy plate glass in the mansion.
Delicious strains Of music steal
through the massive curtains Of the
windows, and as they watt out on
the air, the wearied dancers resting
on the balconies beat time to its
notes with heart aud foot. Through
this gay assemb'age Marian Caring
ton slowly wends her way, walking
- . queen, and receiving the hom'
age OF one. She leans on the arm
OF Malcolm Brooks, and although
her head is turned toward him her
eyes sweeps through the brilliant
rooms until they rest on > couple
slowly promenading toward her.
'Tis Grace. her sister, looking too
ethereal for this world. A robe Of
the most delicate peach blossom
satin trails far over the rich carpet; !;
. cob.web lace overskirt, caught up
with sprays Of pearls, and the same
jewels glistening in her golden hair,
and on her rounded throat and arms
we'll become her angelic beauty.
Her companion, Marshall Leighton.
. dashing Captain in the Queens
service, hes Bis handsome head bent
low to catch her soft, low words
Love flashes from hie liquid brown
eyes, and she knows she is loved,
By tho tenderness ofhis voice. Ad-
mira:ion everywhere meets the
handsome couple, aud al smile up
ON them. Lord Cslriugton gazes
fondly upon them, and wishes that
it may Be; for he loves his child and
knows that abe loves Leighton.
