 She thanked me in yory steady little voice, aDl in set speech which l bel eve she hud composed during my absence.
 Vory sensible of her too; anything must he better than listening to Tcd's driycllings. never saw such fellow Intelligent enough with men, you have only to hand him over 10 wosan, and he undergoes transformation, appearing as diotie as if he had been born down. right fool. He always declares he wasn't 1 shoul liked to have asked his mother.
 We all say goodbye, for the little beauty puts v& her huge eXtingnisher (no il whit uglicr for having been in the watcr), and, hiding as much of hnrpretty face as possible, makes another set speech about going home and papa, and, giving me her hand at parting Charming little girl but she need not have given it to Tcd--I am afraid she has not much disccrnmemt,) takes pos session of her sister and dccamps, look ing, the moment we lose her bright face and pretty natural manners, as prcpos- tcrOus a little figure a5 one could wish tO sec.
 That's my Style~ says Ted, with great sati ,faction, after watching her disappear ill the distance. A jolly looking girl with bright, good temper 0 face, and eyes that look straight at vou with no sort of afrc rtati, Il of shy ness, yot without cffrontery.

 The next day she dawns again upon our hor:zOn-with papa this time as horrid cloud to play propricty-and with the little sister, who is also very pretty, but somehow not so taking, not so picuant and original. My little beauty mas been going in for personal adorn- nlent. The curly brown hair is all tied LID with a long blue ribbon to match hel eyes, and floats upon the brown carme' lite. the salad bowl is in shape again even though the shape is atrocious, anc is trimmed with blue ribbons like those il her hair.
 The little lady is not troubled witl slyness she introduces us to papa, who doesn't even pretend to look glad tt know us, but remarks that he thinks 'it i, going to rain"
 We tell him we don't, both politely O. course, but both at the same timc SC that it is qui, eimpossible for himto heal ei her of us, which, his pretty daughter percci,ing looks w:cicdly up at me.
 Very foolish of h,r, if she had only known it. can never answer for mysel
