We take it as a great compliment,

Miss Susan Glover jerked her
needle so emphatically that the
strong thread snapped viciously.
Kittie, perched in the wide, shady
window seat, pouted her red lips.
"Well, don't care-it is shame

And then, after she had founced
out of the pleasant sitting-room, her
wavy brown hair all a-tumble over
her low white brow, her pretty blue
eyes all agleam with genuine girlish
'indignntion, her white, ~dimplsd
fingers playing furious havoc with
her rutfled apron, and aunt Susan
sat sewing away almost as vexed as
Kittie herself, thinking what silly
fools the young of to-day were, Kittie
went up to her room. and went di-

a long eager survey of herself.

Yes, l will!'
The anger was all gone from the
blue eyes now, and the scorn from
the luscious scarlet lips; and instead
there were CLEANS of merry mischief,
and dimpling smiles at prospect of
the glorious triumph so near at
hand.
"Archie Brown! The idea! but
won't be revenged! Oh, is he here
already?"
For the one maid-servant-of-all-
work in the Glover household was
handing Kittie card, and on it she
had read name that sent warm
fiushes to her cheeks despite her de-
termination.
Tell Mr.. "A. Brown that Miss
Glover sends her compliments, and
will see him presently"
Then she turned To her glass for q
parting critical survey, and saw a
very satisfactory reflection of a slen-

sweet face. and blue eyes that were
