taius ct white, soft wooden stuff, looped @
up i'm creamy folds by an enomrlcd fern v
leaf ON either side; and everything else
carried out in the SAINT floral fashion,
even to the lilly of pearl sh,ll which held 5
her rings ~ the toilet table; but more J
curious than all was thc child's wardrobe,
which she displayed and admit ntter
the frank custom of zen vraT-old-Elrls.
There wa- r,sr dress, the ~oltcst cash
mcre, with scollopcd bands everything ,
each other on the skirt in deepening
tiuts to the waist, and the s%lee'e, we're
lust edged with deer rrcan velvet, which
also bound the throat and waist. 1t was
like q 'ancy-ball costume but PoSy was
like q fairy and the exquisite tints did
not look f]ancitul on her unreal beauty
Then there was a pausy dress, purple
velvet. with "a gold buckle at Its belt
and the skirt fallen in rich rleats that
seemed to form a rounded outline below
like the edge of q flower. There was a
thumbergia costume, the skirt and
sleeves of the delicate buff which that
flower mouopolizcs, and a bodice Of dark
brown velvet like the blossoms throat
.'What folly ~ exclaimed Sue,
"Ne-. but very pretty Jolly. And
have not told you the half. There was a
lily dress, of China Grape: 4 violet,
purple silk. soft and g]Iossless and act
uaIIy a Cardinal.hower, OF vivid scarlet
cloth, that | thought then too splendid
TO be born; but it was only for a skating
dress, posy said,
"She grew up very delicate, exquisite
and f~rIgIle. hut more and more lovely. .
And then Tom saw her and tell in love.
1t WA, strange to see Mrs Schuyler. She
took Toms state of mind with great
calm, as it 1t were only natural and TO be
expected. Posy had never been in So-
cicty; she was very young yet but Mrs.
SCHUYLER would have expected, ifnot de-
manded, the same homage from every
one who saw her idol. But when she
discovered that PoSy loved Tom and
wanted to mary him, she was heart
smitten. She could not entertain the
. idea. She carried posy away directly for
q round of summer travel; but the girl
pinned so yisibly, grew 50 sad, pale
languid. that her mother was terrified,
and brought her back to the hills di-
ractIy and sent for u,to make a visit
therc :, that affair was concluded. and
Mrs.. SCHUYLER gave her treasure into
other hands to save it, grudging all the
whilca days absence, an hours prcoccu-
patton, deyoured with Jealous pangs, yet
trying to stitle them that Posy might be
utterly happy, But when they really
settled into everyday life She insisted or
their living with her at the hills, and 80
secured her own misery. Tom WAS "a
good fellow and a loving husband, but
Inc was q man and man Of business, and
he had his affair, to attend to, his own
anxicties and troubles, and, like the best
ofmurtal men, he wa. now and then I'M
considerable and %snappish. Posy loved
him win all her soul, and would have
, coudoned his ottrnses and forgotten hi,
l. slim, Of tongue if her mother had not
made 50 much Of them. She WAS like q
y tigre,, if ANYTHING seemed to approach
her Young to harm them, and She flew at
r Tom. "a. he imuoIitclv expressed it, like
a mad cat. il he ever spoke imnaticnt.Iv
b, to his wife or forgot one attention due to
~ her. He bore il awhile very patiently
for Po.v's sake but human nature i
