"June" began Mrs. Marston, severely,
and then added: "Dr Deane, It is not
my fault, but June will always act like
an impulsive child l wish she would
control herself"
June blushed, the doctor felt uncom-
Portable, and Fred audaciously whistled,
going over TO pinch his sisters cheeks,
and answering: "Its no use, motherl
June will be June, and you can't make
November out of her. Rex doesn't mind,
| am sure"
The tall doctor arose, saying:

any plants you may like if you will come
now and then and see my treasures. You
will do so, won't your"
There was mischievous twinkle in
June's eyes but tone and manner were
demurely proper, as she answered:
Whenever mamma calls upon Miss
Deane l shall be happy to accompany
her"
The doctors eyes twinkled back to her
own merry thought, but all he said was:
"Very WELT | shall take care that
Aunt Rachel earns visit Immediately.
My flowers are my pets, and they do re-
ward me with such grace and beauty. My
roses are lovely, even now.

of delight, looking very sweet, as the Doc
tor thought, as she added, in spite of
mammals frown:
"Why didn't you wear one here so |
could have stolen il? Do you remember
how l used to confiscate your button-hole
bouquets at Vevey, and how vengefully
that poor English old maid would watch
me? 1t was such fun to listen to her
endless TRADES about pert American
girls"
Mrs. Marston was looking unutterable
annoyance at these "reminiscences; Fred
laughed outright, adding his own bit of
absurd recollection, which the doctor
might easily have supplemented, but
wishing to conciliate mamma" he only
smiled quietly and made his adieus.

regards me so much her senior. I'll keep
up that illusion for while. Aunt Rachel
shall call this very afternoon, and-yes-
well. I think | will escort her"
Arrived at his own door, he went
straightway toward the conclusion OF his
plans, calling from the hall;
"Aunt Rachel! Where are you? Here
are some letters, and, oh! l met FREQ

this afternoon. You have no engage
