1t was at about The same date (1s5G-57)
that our gracious Queen set the fashion Of
wearing n scarlet under .pctticoat, m idea
obtained from the milkmnids of Bal,no.
raj. 1t is sud that the late Prince Con-
sort, in admiring the effect Of the rcd pet
ticoat in the landscape, suggested that her
Majesty should adopt one also. This
sealed the fate Of white petticoats in Eng
lind. They had been worn previously to
that in both summer and winter; and, Of
course, in order to make sufficient warmth,
several had to be put on, thus adding to
the weight to be carried ut the waist.
Since the introduction Of the scarlet skirt
the fashion OF the colored petticoat has
been maintained, md the useful skirt lined
with leather has also been introduced for
walking III the country in muddy weather.

overhead. ana hung Win great clusters
of lilac, laburnum, and guelder-roses,
that swept the hair of the lads and
lasses who passed below.
Two and two, hand in hand, smiling
in each others eyes, sweethearts for to-
day, IL not tomorrow, the joyous COUP
les danced in and out of the seemingly
endless alleys many fine-turned leg
and twinkling foot marking off the stir
ring moments to merry tune discourse
ed by the blind fiddler from the next
parish.
Without. the old men and women
loitered, their eyes Frightening as the
young faces came and went. They saw
what they had once been, what they
would like to be once more, and perhaps
sighed to think that these merry lovers
must in time come to be as themselves;
but Mr.. Firth has long ago told the
scene much more beautifully in colors
than l can ever do in words.
Madcap forgot Frank to gaze with de-
light at the scene, and the children,
escaping from him, clasping hands, and
falling in behind the last Jack and Jill,
danced merrily in and out, round and
about, with the rest, their dark heads
sprinkled from above with scatterings
OF sweetest color-never pauSing, save
to entreat their mother and Frank to
come and dance also.
But he was hardly thinking of Mad
cap then in his keen anxiety that Mr..
Eyre should arrive. Each moment he
dreaded the appearance Of Hester, who
was to meet Dody at the maying Thy
golden means he had charmed this fact
from Josephinein his moment of speech
with her in the copse); and though she
wished Madcap well, the risk of the two
women once more meeting was not to
be exaggerated. But if Franks eyes
could have pierced the stout body of a
tree not dozen yards from him, he
would have seen in hiding the very wo-
man whose presence he dreaded.
Mr.. Eyre, approaching from the vii
lage, saw Hester thus, marked the
crouching gait, the eagerly peering eyes
bent on Madcap-the whole fierceness
of demeanor that yet betokened yearn-
ing love, and disappointed hope, and
feeling toward her as some noxious
thing that threatened the life of what
he loved, passed her by with a look
heavy as blow; then stepping to his
wife's side, took her hand and said,
$50 you have come Annoying, Mad
cap-and Frank, too; and look at those
young rogues," he added. as the child
rem came running toward them with
chains of roses about their necks, land
it's all very pretty, and I'll take you
home by new way across the green"-
and so, with word here and there to
the merry-makers, led her away, and
only on looking back some time later
discovered that Frank and the children
had disappeared.

me comfort-she knew better; she SAID
that he should lore me, and can't harm

this moment / cease the allowance

"And You remainy" he said, calmly.
NYes-I can starve, or L can de-"
"Die then!" he exclaimed; you re-
solve to stay-be it so. Your fate be
on your own head"
Job shrank within himself as from a
bitter wind as Mr.. Eyre. looking neith-
er right nor left, passed him by, but
made step forward and was nearly be-
trayed, when Hester, falling On her
knees, sobbed out:
"I'll stay, but III never harm her, so
help me God! But I'll love the child,
and it'll love me-thoayh I'd have given
up even that, if he'd said q word to
show he remem Uered."
AS Frank, who had met Mr.. Eyre,
approached, she rose trembling to her
feet-smitten by new remorse on the
young fellows behalf that turned her
vows to sobs, as, led by him, she passed
through the woods toward Marmiton;
and even as Frank thanked God, think
ing that all had turned out well, and
she behaved nobly, Hester was asking
herself, with dim, prophetic instinct
that chilled her blood, if remuneration
would not have brought her purer hap
piness, than that eagerly coveted joy
that she snatched 1t in defiance of death
itself.
