of the week. The housekeeper had
given permission to the servants to 90
also. She felt a welcome relief to
have the house and day to herself
She locked the doors carefully after
the last servant. She would make the
most of her day. She would lave no
dinner, cnIy a lunch. She had almost
forgotten her real character in that
which she had assumed but to-day
she could be herself without fear of
intrusion or discovery. She laid aside
her CAP and gray dresses, washed the
stain from her skin, and arranged
her luxurious hair in becoming curls,
and donned a pretty, fresh muslin,
which fitted the slight graceful figure.
This done, she entered the parlor and
stood before the mirror, as attractive
a fgule as oae would often see.
Truly have forgotten my own
locks am Kate Franklin after all !
she laughed.
Removed from the long restraint,
her spirits re5ounded. She felt gay
I1ht hearted, and like committing
any foolshness.
