lie said that he knew that petronel
was fond of society-her mother had
been. He didn't see any harm in it.
On Pets 18th birthday, Mr. Grosye-
nor gave his daughter birthday
party. There were several strangers
TO be present on this occasion, among
them a young man who was visiting
the Elberts. Glyndon Fame. they said

very handsome and bold-looking.
He evidently took great fancy to
Pet and though ! did not see her
much in his company that evening. he
called the next morning, and she
asked leave to be excused from her
French lesson for hall an hour to go
down and see him.
