Indeed" exclaimed Mrs. Wander
pool, pretending to be much surprised.
"rve heard the Mockiug-Eiri piave,l
hundreds OF times by good PLAYERS,
and never should haye dreamed that
was it,
Whereupon Mrs. Van navden re-
marked that some people hadn't anv
ear for music. Their taste was So de-
ticient that they couldn't tell one tune
from another. She had observed that
i, was always the case with ignorant,
uneducated people.
Pretty soon Charley. Mrs. Van Hay
deu's only son, hopeful or seven or
eight, rushed in with the intelligence
that Mr.. Shelby was kissing Maria
Eanderpool in the hall. He'd seen
him do il two or three times. Sure
enough. they were missing from the
parlor. Mrs. Vaaderpool was delight
ed. Maria had just the same as Sc
cured him. Mrs. Van DYKE made
several remarks about young ladies
allowing gentlemen to take such lib-
critics. and similar cutting sarcasms
were INDUCED in by Miss Lettic and
Jennie. all of which Mrs Vanderpool
passed in contemptuOus and triumph
ant silence, "a she could afford to do,
if Maria had got the start of Lettie.
The party broke up with the re-
mark from Mrs. VanderpOol, that
she'd had quite pleasant time, con-
sidering; in such place as Stephen
town person had to 60 to every
thing. no matter who got it up. II
3 '"l"'t. ~i'u was considered stuck
up. To which Mrs. Van Hayden
made the pleasant reply. that she
wasn't suited with the society OF the
place. One had to invite everybody,
no matter what their standing was.
The Van Haydens felt that the
Vandcrpools had carried the day, for
Mr.. Shelby accompanied Miss Maria
home, and had been caught kissing
her; and putting this and that togeth-
er, it looked as if Miss Maria had got
the getleman pretty nearly caught.
But they were delighted to learn. a
few days afterward, that he had gone
away without proposing to Miss
Maria. And their delight knew no
bounds when, a week after that, they
heard that Mr.. Shelby wns married
man. That was the missing feather
for the cap of the Van ilavdens. Miss
Maria had been caught letting q mar
ried man kisa her! 1t wasn't the least
use for the Vanderpools to say they
didn't know anything about it. Mrs.
Van Hayden let no opportunity of
remarking about it pass unused. Such
cutting things as she said can only be
imagined. They felt that they had
come off conquerers, and to this day
they refer to that crOquet-party of
theirs. when Mr.. Shelby was caught
kissing Maria Vanderpooi. AS one of
the important epochs OF their career
in Stephentown society.
