Eugenie CAV an account Of her advent
ure, and Lr. Bunny knows the very
best people He is thought highly Of in
business CIRCLES. IL might be a good
thing for TOu 70 know them, you may
meet valuable acquaintance there"
But EUyenie could take utilita-
Ran views of things.
She was glad they were all so happy
and prosperous there in Bond street, but
what did they know or care for the
things she valued. Maisie, with her
vanity, her delight in being engaged 10
some one, was not the companion she
desired. Afterward, when she lay
crushed beneath a weight of misery for
which / have no words, and remembered
how she shrunk from going to that
kindly, hospitable house, she said to
herself that she had a presentment Of
evil, that her good angel strove TO warn
her of what was to come Of knowing
these people.
However, the Bunnys were over
whelming in their invitations 10 lunch,
TO tea, TO places Of amusement, which
Mn. Morgan made Eugene accept, and

heart, and Maisie would CRY, ITO think
you haven't seen my Woy yet! l must
fetch him 10 Mrs. Morgan's, l WEAKLY
must" And evening when Eugene
was alone in the house writing her home
letters a card was brought 10 her.
Upon it was engraved Miss Maisie
Bunny" and below it was written, Il
have brought my Roy at last
AS the door opened a cheerful, chatter
ing and f1uttering came up from the
drawing ROOM, and when Eugene de-
scended Maisie came dancing forward
crying out, Here she is, Woy! Is she
not Is p~ewfectly lovely as said she was?
"And Woy," she continued, giving a
jerk 10 the sleeve Of the tall young man
who stood beside her. SIS he not SPLEEN
did, Eugenie? Do l not know how 70
descwibe people? shake hands and be
good fwiends, you tro .eautiful ones"
There was a moments p.g-e: it was
necessary % from ;l.s start
ling Introduction. Then Eus,le held
out her hand. Il am glad 70 meet you,
Mr.. Clifford" she said, and the gentle
man replied. Thanks; charmed. l am
sure. and then for the first time Eugene
looked at him.
Her establishment was intense. She
had expected 10 find in Roy Clifford a
younger edition of Mr.. Bunny. Here
stood a mar Of society, whose dress was
beyond CRITICISM, who vas not over two
and-twenty, and who was certainly the
handsomest man she had ever seen. Her

next moment it vanished. This mar
could not be blind to poor little Maisie's
pe~culiarities. His glance at the tiny
paw she placed upon his arm was not
that Of a lover. 1t was plain to Eugenie
that Mr.. Bunny had bought him for
Maisie as he might have bought a doll
for her in her childhood. Romantic
Eugene had no longer anything but con-
tempt for the man and pity for poor
Maisie, so blind that she could not see
what must be- 50 plain 10 every one else.
She was very cold TO Mr.. Clifford, she
could hardly endure his presence. Nh.
Clifford contented himself with a few re-
marks. but seemed unable 10 take his
eyes from Eugenie's face. Maisie did
all the talking. The call was brief. and
when at last the little woman looked in
the glass over the mantel 70 settle a rose
colored bonnet and adjust a fussy little
green plush wrap, all hobs and fringes
and golden clasps, her eyes had a wistful
look that WIS unusual 10 them.
"How lovely you look IN that white
dress with not a single ornament she
said 20 Eugene. 1t would neva do for
me. Imust nave bwightness. But taste
is a great compensation for beauty.
Taste / have. Don't you like my bon

at is just the color Of a wild rose. %
said Eugeuie aud Maisie, quite content,
seized Roys arm and skipped away; but
while she hal been prinking az the glass
this same Roy had looked into E~ugenie's
eyes and said In a voice too low % be
heard ac-l the room, MAY 7 come
again. Mis- AshtonF and she had am
swered. Whenever Miss Ml.zs likes 20
