LOttie's Ball Dress.

"Do you think it is best to go
Lottie"
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Meller
had been married scarcely moro
than a year and not long enough
for the first gloss to be worn
off her wedding ring-not long
enough to forget the enchanted
gold shine of the honeymoon; and
now, upon this clear December
morning the young wife sat al
the breakfast table, in the most be-
coming Nelige of rose.ribbons and
dove-colored cashmere, with an
open note in her hand, and her
blue eyes sparkling with delighted
animation. A pretty picture to
look upon, for Mrs. Mellen was
very pretty-a tall, velvet-cheeked
blond, with her hair shining like
braided sunbeams beneath the CO.
quettish little breakfast cap she
wore.
Best, ClarenceH Why, of conrse
it is best! Lula Sparks would give
her cars to get cards to Mrs. Ben
edict's ball"
81 dare say" said Mr.. Mellen,
dryly. "But did you ever read La
Fontain's Fablesl"
"What do you mean, Clare!"
"Only that it contains a story
concerning an iron pot and crock
cry pot, that swan down stream
together. OF course the China pot
got smashed"
81 don't see what your ridicu-
lous old fables have to do with me. "
"a great deal my love! Mr.. Ben
edict is a rich banker. / am only
confidential clerk, in his brothers
employ. Mr.. Benedict has n thous-
and dollars, probably, where have
one. Our spheres lie apart. Is it
best then for us to compete with
them in any one respect"
"Because we attend a hall at
their house, We needn't necessarily
compete with them painted the
young wife, beginning to pull at
the fringe of her breakfast napkins.
"Of course, if they invite US, it is
only natural to suppose that they
want us to come"
81 presume, my dear, that we
are invited out of compliment to
Mr.. Benedict's brother who is kind
enough to think favourably of your
humble servant"
"And it would be very rude not
to CO."
81 don't think regrets would he
taken in bad part, Charlotte. Be-
sides. what have you to wear that
would compare with the toiletts of
Mrs. Benedict's fashionable friendsl
"That's what | was going to
speak about" said Mrs. .Mellen. 81
really did need a new silk dress.
That pea-green affair is actually
to look shabby, and the
black silk | had when we were
married is positively old-fashioned
by this time"
1T is only thirteen months, Lottie.
"But fashions alter so, Clarence,
you know. Now there's a lilac
moire antique at Grant's-the love-
liest shade you ever saw, and a
positive bargain, on account of
there being only twenty-five yards
in the pattern. ! can get it for
