bv means of wealth. l can soon tell
you whether this very much expected
young lady is ~aristocratic or Hot,' l
added.
We'll, will you tell me?" Miss Julia
asked, her face expressing all the con-
tempt she felt of what she considered my
eccentric plebeian:sm.
Yes l sail. If / have an opportun-
ity, l will certainly tell YOU
q don't suppose YOU consider me an
aristocrat, Mr.. Deane? the girl re-
marked. in her most supercilious man
ner.
Il replied, l~aughingly, that we would
consider that question some other time.
l wanted, however, to tell her that a
personal application OF n remark of this
kind was certainly antagonistic to the
spirit of aristocracy; but l wisely re
Trained. and Miss Julia and I separated
| for a time.
MY duties as manager took me to
all parts of the beautiful grounds, and
everywhere | heard expressions of dis
appointment because the ~millionaire's
daughter had not made one of the par
~. / think it is too bad she said she'd
come I wonder what she will wear
She has Just got back from Europe; [
should laugh if she hadn't any style at
all were some of the remarks I heard
as | passed along.
During the afternoon there was
some excitement caused by an accident
that had happened to the head walters
little boy. The child's mother had
| come to assist her husband in his du-
ties in connection with the party, and
had been compelled to bring the child
with her. The little fellow was a very
]precocious black baby about four years
old. He had climbed upon a table, help
ed himself to q cut-gIasS pitcher, andin
playing with it had fallen to the
ground. The pitcher was broken, and
the child had fallen on it in such a way
that a deep cash was cut in his arm.
Forcing myself through the crowd [
came upon a strange scene. A young
girl dressed IN pure white, Ter fair hair
simply braided in her back, sat on
the ground with the black bany in her
lap. She had bound a handkerchief
tightly round the upper part of the
arm, and was pressing together the hid
eous wound till a doctor could be
brought. She happened, as [ after
wards learned. to be the one nearest the
child when the accident occurred.
Some one had brought towels to
protect her dress, and there she sat, her
lips tightly pressed together, and an ex-
preston of eager sympathy on her sweet
young face. Whoever she was, she had
evidently Teen taught GOODNESS and
h%elpfulness in emergencies, for she
never faltered nor relaxed her hold.
"The badly, possibly faint from the
loss of blood, was as still as death itself.
"Who is this girl, 1 asked myself,
who knows just what to do in a case Of
this kind, and has courage and human
ity enough to do it unto the very least
| of one of these? .. .....
"'Who is that girl?' why don't the
child's mother take care of it?' The
idea of nursing a black baby in that
fashionP i think that's poor taste
Perhaps she is one of the servants
were a few Of the whispered remarks /
heard made by some of the so-called
a~ristocratic young ladies at my side.
ooh, that's too badr Poor little pi-
c~aninny T by George, that girls a
brickp I'D like to see Sister Sue at
that job. The very sight of that blood
would send her into spasms.' Say,
fellows, isn's she pretty, thought were
some of the remarks / heard made by
the boys who were in the crowd. There
was not one among them who did not
appreciate and rate at its proper value
the courage, and unselfsh, active sym
pathy of this unfinching young girl;
and just here is the essential difference
between American boy and girls as g
rule.
"The doctor came at last, and the
little patient was transferred TO his care.
/ saw a look of interest in the gentle
mans face as he glanced at the brave
girl, and then the hostess said, Doctor,
this is Miss Mabel Toreaux,' mention
ing the name of the young lady who had
been so long and a~nxiously expected.
"sYou have done inst what was best
to do for the child, Miss Mabel the
doctor replied, and Ireally think you
should study surgery.
"'Thank you, she replied, simply and
politely. sThen you think it is nota
very dangerous cut?' she asked.
"sOh, / think not the doctor re-
piled, we viii soon have this all right
az am very glad was the eager re-
Spouse, and then turning to the child's
mother, who was weeping piteously, she
gaid,-
Now you mustn't cry any nor
The doctor q The baby is not seri-
ously hurt, and of course he knows. If
you cry, you can't take Gaze Of him, you
know, and be of help to the doctor
"sNo, no, ] won't cry any more she
said, with a half-sob. You have been
very good to my baby, and / thank you
with all nv heart said the mother, and
Miss Mabel was borne away to wash her
