"See, papa, here are your slippers and

articles from a little clothes press, and IN
terrupting, VITA a dash OF the prOsalc, the
scene. wAlch might have become scnti
mental. Isabel had given her this little task
as her special duty, avd she delighted ia 10
with loving chlld's pleasure, fitting about
him "a he made himself comfortable FOR tho
evening, hanging his coat upon hook IN
the closet, which Isabel had placed within
her reach, and putting away the discarded
boots with neatness and precision.
What a helpful little maid IL Is" said Mr.
Falconer, pattng her head tenderly, as she
brought her little wicker chair and sat by
his side.
"She is mammals little right hand al
ready" said Isabel, afecuonately, and, in
deed, she spoke the truth, for she did lean
upon the little girl, as a source OF comfort
and help, IN becoming accustomed TO her
new position; the child's lips had taken up
the title Of mamma very readily, and the
sound was becoming very sweet TO Isabel.
The new garments came homo in due

things, and she enjoyed the glimpse in the

| Gould, the shop-woman before mentioned,
who had been sent with the dresses TO make
| any needed alterations; it was a rich garnet
| velvet, made up with just enough spark

ness, land that real lace set is Just the
| thing TO wear with it."
Another, an airy black lace, Topped up in
every available spot with tiny gold stars
| which cleaned in and out like fretles.
"You must wear natural flowers in crimson
with this" said Mrs. Gould, "either rose
| buds or fuchsias."
A rich white brocade satin combined with
creamy lace was the next, and Isabel was
as near being beauty in IT as she would
| ever be
Purple pansies shall be my flowers when
wear this" she said, half in soliloquy, as
she stood by the glass, while skillful Mrs.
Gould took out sttch here and there in
