JEANNE'S SMILE.

A young man and a fair young girl
were sitting in the Park Monceau talk
ing in the shade.
"You say you have found me very nice;
we'll that is all right, but afterward"-
"Well, afterward, my dear Jeanne,
what else could think except that l
love you and you will return my
love'-
THAT is all very WELL" she inter-
rupted; "but So far have lived an honest
girl and intend to continue So"
All this was said with the utmost good
humor and good faith, without the least
prudery or affectation and with smile
that disclosed the most adorable teeth.
Antoine-I have not yet told you his
name-was the neighbor of Jeanne. He
was very much in love with her, which
was not astonishing, as she was very at
tractive, with the most irresistible smile
and teeth so beautiful, indeed, that An
tome had never forgotten them since the
first frugal breakfast when he had seen
the young girl biting a peach. At THO
same time l am obliged to say that he
had ever thought of marrying her, for he
was somewhat ambitious, young, indie
pendent and counted upon marriage in
the future accompanied by good round
dot, which Jeanne could not bring him.
She was fine workwoman, earning good
wages in fashionable store, but nothing
more.
After the interview which have re-
lated Antoine, although always obliging
and amfable, became more reserved in his
intercourse with the young girl. Both of
them, in fact, held themselves on the do
fcusive; she did not appear to wish to
marry any more than he, so they remained
simply good friends.
One day, however, she announced to him
that she was going to leave Paris. She
had brother who had long been estab-
lishcd in America and he wished her to
come out and join him. Antoine was
somewhat annoyed at this intelligence,
as he had become SO accustomed to their
Sunday talks.
When the day of departure came he &C
companied her to the railroad station and
then returned, not without feeling of
regret, though at the same time he took
her departure very eoolly, saying TO him.
self: "Perhaps it is all for the BEST" that
u little romance begun like this rarely
had serious denOuement.
But one never knows when he is really
involved, and lie consoled himself for the
past by dreaming Of the future. Never
theless, he could not SO easily forget his
first fancy.
More than year had passed since the
departure of Jeanne, and her old neigh
Dor thought he WAS on the point of sue
cess, for he had been introduced into an
honorable family, authorized to pay his
court to the daughter of the house. She
was dark and did not resemble Jeanne in
the least. However, as to that, he had
not thought of it or dreamed of making
the comparison, the past seemed so far
away.
This was the way matters stood when
one fine morning he stopped astounded
before q wall on which was stuck a great
beautiful bill, upon which a good
draughtsman had drawn the charming
head of young girl with an enchanting
smile and exquisite pearly teeth 1t was
the head of Jcanne-thcre could he no
doubt of it--and above it in great red
letters one could read:
