every well them said the pacifed
leader, 1--WE will wear kits made out 81
balmoral skirts. We can borrow all the
bright colored ones, and shorten them as
we need. Over these we can wear sacks
and jackets, with sashes around ou1
waists. And Michael Angelo ought tc
have sword.
"That IS easily made out Of woed,'
said Minnie; "but you know parts of the
scenes are In the open air. We mnst
have something on our heads and we
can't possibly wear our hoods.''
"Could we not take our best hats and
untrim them for the occasion?'' suggested
Emma Cullen, who naturally thought no
sacrifice too great. ..E.r .,.r~-..5 .s..

zie slowly; Sin the first place, who could
trim them again for US to wear home fol-
vacatlons and in the second place, some
OF them, especially Minnie's for instance,
are not at all suitable shapes; and don't
believe any of the other girls would lend
US their hats to untrim. They are all so
fussy about their old things!' .... ..
II know" said Minnie, "what will an
swer. Let US make caps out of stiff pa
per, and bind them with red braid.''
1.-THE very thingr' was the reply.
"Michael Angelo and Sebastian and the
duke are the only ones who need them
and they can be worn little on one
side, and will he really becoming"
"There goes the bell for French class, -
sighed the fortunate Sebastian: II wish
it would not always ring before we get
throughp' ....
II will start the caps the first thing to-
mornlug,' said Lizzie, and the
children reluctantly separated for their
classes.
Now all was ready-caps, kits, wood
en- sword, sashes, and everything else
and the curtain, made of two sheets, had
been stretched across the middle Of the
classroom. All the actors, even to the
venerable father of Michael Angelo, and
the magnificent duke di Medicl, had
their hair up in curling papers, and Liz
zie and Minnie were busy in putting the
finishing touches to the white dresses
worn by the statues, and making up the
red bows, which the Duke, in honor of
his high rank, was to wear on bis cap
and shoes.
AS evening came on the cxcitem ent
grew intense. Not only were all the pu-
pills ard the teachers coming to see the
play, but Mr.. Rollins, as an especial hon
or to his little daughter, was invited to
be present; and the thought of a stranger
in the audience sent a thrill OF awe
through the hearts of the more timid act
ors, and inspired the holder ones with
fresh zeal. ..
Supper was at last over, and at half
past seven o'clock the play would begin.
The room was we'll filed, and in the
front row sat their visitor, tall, hand
some, grey-haired, quite as eager as the
rest to see the white curtain 90 up, or
rather go apart--a little girl being sta
toned at either side to draw them away
at the proper time.
TSnkze, tiakze, rang the prompter's
bell, and back went the curtain.
Enter Lizzie as Urbino, soliloquizing,
as she brushed and busted the furniture,
with all the airs of a walting-maid.
A knocking at the gate.
Apparently the domestic force of the
Castle OF Capress was not large, for Ubl-
no leaves his busting to go to the door
and admit Sebastian, dressed exactly
like Urbino himself, with the addition
Of the resplendent cap, shaped some
thing like a bakers but bound with
crimson braid, and ornamented with a
blue feather.
Urblno, who does not approve OF Mich
ael Angelo 8 friends or amusements, and
who holds art and artists in equal con-
tempt, takes it upon himself to say that
his young master is not at home. ALVEY
dispute follows, until the boy-sculptor
himself appears upon the scene. in SIM
liar cap, only with red wing in it, to
match With his red kilt, and the scar
let sash Bonnd his waist. The two, in
gay defiance of Urbino, 60 out together to
sketch ana paint, and the old servant is
left to grumble at such wicked goings
on, and hint that some mischief is afoot.
So far all was we'll. Lizzie acted
splendidly. The applause was loud and
frequent; and Mr.. Rollins though evi-
IDENTIFY a little daunted by the unexpected
splender OF Micheal Angeles Highland
costume, joined vigorously in. And now
the plot thickens! g..
Urbino informs old Mr.. Buonorotti, az
the children persisted in calling him, tt
Lizzle's great disgust, that his son is not
behaving as we'll as could be desired
he says a great deal about low associates
meaning principally poor Sebastian, an6
throws out dark suspicious as to the man
ner in which these young spendthrifts
have wasted large sum OF money. The
venerable SIRE in a particularly fantastic
jacket over his red and grey skirt, and
with his yellow hair IN tight little curls
all over his head, laments greatly owe,
his sons conduct, and the arrangement
between them is fostered by the devoted
but aisagreeable servant.
Now comes the grand scene in the
Dukes garden, where Michael Angelo
amuses himself with making statues Of
snow. In the orr ginal story, he moulds
Faun's head, which excites the admir-
alton of Lorenzo and his suite, until the
