Her dress and adornment were
marked by that exquisite harmony
that can come only of a fine natural
taste perfected by culture. Her

That MAS an: yet even in this sub
dued attire she was divinely beauti-
full. Then what must she have been
when adorned for the festival or
the ball
All this time she has been busily
chatting with Alonzo, unconscious
of our inspection. The minutes still
sped, and still she talked. But by
and by she happened to look up and
saw the clock. A crimson blush
sent its rich food through her
cheeks, and she exclaimed
There, good by, MIR. Fitz Clar-
ence; I must 60 now!'
She sprang from her chair with
such haste that she hardly heard
the young mans answering good-by.
She stood radiant, graceful, beauti-
full, and gazed. wondering, upon the
accusing clock. Presently her pout-
ing lips parted, and she said
"Five minutes after eleven! Near
ly two hours, and it did not seem
twenty minutes! Oh dear, what
will he think of me p
At the self same moment Alonzo
was staring at his clock. And pre-
sently he said
TWENTY-FIVE minutes to three!
Nearly two hours, and l didn't be-
lieve it was two minutes! Is it pos
sibls that this clock is humbug-
ging again? Miss Ethelton!, just
one moment please. Are you there

"Yes, bst be quick; I'm. going
right away"

me what time it is?"
