An address follows. The next mail bears
with it Ihalia'S answer. What 1t Is the
reader may surmlSe.
The weeks glide by,and at length,to lda's
great delight the day Of the lo'ked-for-
ward-to garden fete dawns. Ida looks re-
gally handsome. ThaLia's quaint simplicity
Of dress suits the girlish style well. The
afternoon is waning, and as yet no distin-
guiShed stranger has made his appearance.
1t is warm and, little tired by game
Of lawn-tennis, ITALIA strOlls off to rustic
seat. Throwing aside her hat, she leans her
head upon her hand, and for awhile loses
herself in happy day-dream. Suddenly
step approaches, and well-remembered
voice speaks her name.
With startled eyes, ITALIA springs to her
feet to find herself drawn to warmly beat
ing heart
DO you know me, Thalia?'
Yes" she whispered; ''t is my lover
come back to me"
He laughs-a joyous laugh.
MY constant darling! he murmured.
And you are still ready and willing to
leave your luxurious home and become
poor mans wife?"
De rlch IN love.
