with frowning eyebrows.
"Bo." continued this young man, very
seriously, las far as 1 have been able to
make it out, consists of vast sphere; clip
ticsl in form, however; the zenith contain
ing all human aspiration, the base consist
ing of forgotten evil. When you once en-
ter this magic circle you are lost, you are
transformed, you are here and yet not here;
to be does not signify to be, but not to be,
and not to be is the highest good, except
not to have been. Bo, when once you have
received the conservation, and bathed in
the light, and perceived the attitudes and
essential deeps and cognizances-"
Ought to be written Bosh," said she,
briefly. 81 will not hear any more of that
nonsense. And believe you are only hum
bugging me: Madame What s-her-name
looks more like the widow of a French
Communist. Now listen to me, Vim, for 1
am going away tomorrow. l am glad l
was mistaken about the actress; but take
care: don't get into scrapes 1 shan't be
happy till 1 see you married. Ordinarily
man should not marry until be is thirty or
fve-anG-thirTy-if he is fve-and-forty so
much the better-but even at tive-and-thirty,
he may have acquired little judgment: he
may be able to tell how much honesty there
is In the extreme amiability and unselfsh-
ness and simplicity that a young woman
can assume, or whether she is likely to turn
out an ill-conditioned, cross-grained, and
sIlking brute. Oh, you needn't laugh
it's no laughing matter, as you'll find out, my
young friend. But you-you are different
you are no schoolboy-vou've seen the
world-too much of it, for you've learnt
disrespect for your elders, and try
to bambOoze them with accounts of
sham systems of philosophy or
religion or whatever 1t is. say you ought
10 marry young; but not an elderly woman,
as many a young man does, for money or
position. Good gracious, mol You'll have
plenty OF money; your father isn't just yet
going to sell this silver dinner service
which detest, for it always looks more
greasy than china, and besides you feel as if
you were scoring it with the edge of your
knife all the time-I say he isn't going to
sell mis- silver and distribute unto the poor
just yet As for position, you've got to
make that for yourself: would you owe it to
your wi e? Very WELL" proceeded his
pretty monitress, in her easy and prattling
fashion; "eome down to Brighton for a week
or two. will ask the Drexel girls; you
will have them all to yourself, to pick and
to choose from, but Louie is my favorite.
You have no idea how delightful Brighton
is in June-the inland drives are peri so
cool and shaded with trees, when you know
where to go, that is. She is the only Ameri-
can girl know who has the courage to be an
American girl; the rest of them seem to

say you will come down, l will accept; and

he said, "but l really can't get away You
know 1 don't care much about racing"
"But Louie Drexel isn't racing"
I'm very sorry, but you must excuse me,
aunt..' he said contritely.
"Oh-distribution OF wealth-supply and
demand-sugar- bounties and blue-books-is
that it? Well, well, what the young men of
the present day are coming to"

her neighbor, an elderly and learned gentle
man from Oxford, addressed her. He had
not hitherto uttered a word, having paid
strict attention to every dish and every wine
(albeit he was a lean and famished-l looking
persOn); but now he remarked that the
evenings were hot for the middle of June,
He spoke OF the danger of having recourse
to iced fluids. Then he went on to compare
the bathing OF the Greeks and Romans with
the ablutions OF the Euglish-until he was
offered Strawberries, whereupon, having
helped himself largely, he fell into busi-
ness-like silence again.
When at length the ladies had gone up-

II have a commission from your father, |
Vim, said he. 81 am to persuade YOU of |
the sweet reasonableness of his proiecb-that |
you should for a time become the private
secretary of Mr.. 0gden.''
'The private secretary of a man who
hasn't an hr'' retorted Master Vim, with
scorn.
What has that to do with it?" the Young
nobleman said, coolly. "No. After ali,
there is something in what your father saws.
He believes that the next great political
and social movement will be the emancipa-
ton Of the wage-earner-the securing to the
producer his fair share of the products of
his labor. If that is so it will be big
thing. 1t will be years before it comes off,
no doubt; but then there will be a great
wave Of public opinion; and if you are pre-
