Fair time affords golden opportu-
nifty to the country cousin to get square
with his city relatives, who have been
decreasing his contributions to the
cheese factory and consuming the pro-
ducts of his orchard and garden dur
ing their annual summer raid. He
now hunteth up his metropolitan con-
nections in the city directory, and with
a lean looking carpet satchel pounceth
down upon them in full force. He
sleepeth upon shake-down in the
parlor, hangs his overalls on the chan
delier and blows out the gas. In the
day time he subsists on watermelons
and gingerbread, and bloweth in his
substance on rubber balloons and the
little Joker. He cometh back busted,
with a barrel hoop around his brow,
and his pockets bullying out with adj
vertising circulars.

after we went there we took a walk
down to Lake Ontario, which was
about fifteen minutes from my auntie's.
On our way we were passing a street
shaded with beautiful trees, and was
thinking how nice it would be to live
in Toronto, when suddenly cried out

glancing down she saw a large yellow
hornet on my ankle, singing me for
all it was worth. AS | was limping
along another one lit OH the same foot.
When | got to the lake my foot was
swollen so badly that | took off my
slipper and put my foot into the water
until it stopped hurting. The next day
we went to market. 1t was amusing to
see so many different people. We saw
women with fruit, vegetables, fish, ETC.,
all went in for customers. | remember

gentleman and begged him to give her
three cents, she said that her daughter
was very sick and wanted to send her
letter, but didn't have money enough
to post it. By the looks of her face it
was beer she wanted. However, the
gentleman was too sharp for her. He
took the letter, put a stamp on it, and
put it into the letter box. We remain
ed in Toronto two weeks, then went to
Richmond Hill, a small village about
eighteen miles north of Toronto.
While there became acquainted with
some little girls. We stayed there
about two weeks, then went back to
Toronto and stayed there the rest of
the time. My auntie took me out to

many people in the world who are not

Among the arrivals at one of the

accompanied by an elderly lady and
three servants. They registered
from Baltimore, and it was learned
that they were reigDing bellies in
that city. The elder sister had just
entered her twentieth year. Her
friends rendered her delightful
reception, and she was the reclp-
lent of many unique and costly gifts.
Her .fance arrived upon the bril-
liant scene driving pair of perfectly
matched cream-colored ponies,
handling cream. colored reins with
gold buckles, and attached to a
cream colored dog cart with gold
trimmings deliberately mounted.
These he presented to the lady of
his choice: and at an early hour the
following day the chief designer of
The Netc York and Paris Younq
Ladies' Fashion Bdzdr received a
message from the ladies to produce
within the next five days four pale
cream India silk dresses of the
tint as that of the gold-tipped dog
cart. The proprietor of The New
York and Paris Young Ladies'
Fashion Bazar will spare no pains
TO make these natty driving cos
tunes the most snowy and gorgeous
of the season. The design which
struck their fancy was that shown
in Fig. 5 of the September number
Of The Nec York and Parts Young
Ladies Fashion Bazar. But where
that dress is designed IN pink, their
dresses are to be finished in pale
ecru. The frill on the sleeves of
Fig. 8 will be jauntily looped up
with real pearls set in gold buckles.
The September number, contain
ing this magnificent design, is now
for sale at all news-stands. Price
