MRS. H0UNSLOW'S EXPERIMENT.

a daughter had been the hope of Mrs.
Hounslows life, Thinking, when Lawrence
was small, of the beauty of little girl, 100,
with her curls running out in rings under
the lace and ribbons Of her cap, she had
been obliged to change the thought to that
ofthe maiden who should become Lawrence's
bride, and give her all the comfort and none
Of the care of daughter.
She had always been lonesome body; an
orphan at first, and then so few years wife
before she was widow, with her unruly boy
at school and she had looked at mothers
with their little girls, and envied them the
companionship, the opportunity of making
charming dresses for the pretty darlings, the
power to live their lives over again in their
girls.
When Lawrence came home to stay she
had, of course, much comfort in him and if
the young man enjoyed his fling" she knew
nothing about it. Yet Lawrences fling
was not bad one, as filings 60 he drove a
fast horse, and he loved game dinner.
When the exuberance Of youth passed he
would settle into respectable citizen with a
bank account To her eyes, to-day, he was
a paragon.
Settle. But not alone. 1t followed as
the night the day that Lawrence would mar
ry-a very pretty girl or very rich one
Neither would be to Mrs. Hounslow's taste /;
the pretty girl hardly the companion she
sought for herself, the hjghty head turned
by yanty,the appetite insatinble for fattery;
and the rich one maste ring Lawrence, and
consequently herself. She had chosen her
self charming young girl with as sweet Il
nature as ever shown out of blue eye /;
she frequently had her there, although to no
effect except in her own dreams. In what
dreams Mrs. Hounslow INDUCED by the
evening fire apropOs of Louise Mandell
Somehow the young orphan girl always
seemed sitting on the other side of the fire,
its light dancing in her eyes, on her dimp-
ling smile and sometimes Mrs. Hounslow
saw that light glance on little golden we'd
ding ring, and sometimes on little golden
nesting head and Lawrence was always
standing on the rug between the two, look
ing, with equal tenderness in his dark eyes
at one side and at the other. That was her
evening dream. In the morning Louise
moved about the house with her, cutting
flowers, filling vases, concoctir,g choice dish
es-what a mother-in-law she would make
How happy she was going to be in this dear
daughter She had even gone so far as to
buy an open ph@ton in this dream for Louise
to drive her out in ON sunny evenings, and
was just settling on the color of the fringed
silken canopy, when she awoke to see thai
Louise was cipher beside that great luxur
ious, hazel-eyed and hateful blonde, Flori
