her sad face.
"What is it, Kitty2 What is the

'I'm in trouble, Aunt Sue, and +
thought perhaps you could help me. I"
And the sweet face struggled bravely
with tears.
'Of course can, dear chlld. Take
off your wraps and have lunch with
mo, and then you shall tell mo all
about it.
Kitty is ono OF my children-an old
maids darling. Why she ever took q
fancy to tAunt Sue" it is quito impos-
sible to say; but the reasons for my
partiality to her are self evident to all
who know her, for who can help loving
the thoroughly good. sincere, loving
little ohild.woman? Then | had been
her teacher before her marriage, and
"foster mother" she had called me

IL was the old story OF want of con-
geniallty and oneness in habits oil
thought and action. Tho young hus-
Dand loved society, public life, elegant
dinners aid an eyer-hosptable board.
He loved his young wife, too no mis-.
takc about that-and wanted to take
her everywhere; was loyal to her, but
perhaps too volatile apd fond OF display.
She, ny nature and habit, was very dif-
ferent, loving privacy, domestic life,

open house an utter wearinoss of flesh
