think everything of DR.. Lisle, you know;
there's just nobody like him And to
think that poor Mr.. Smith might have
been cripple all his days through such
little thing as bit of grease dropped

Here Frances ventured to suggest that
the fracture might have been equally
well attended to by some other medical
mana remark Mrs. Smith negatived at
once, with a very knowing shake of the
head Then she resumed the converse
ton by reverting TO the topic which was
never far from her thoughts.

Mr.. Josselyn, They've been travelling

Frances said Mrs. Lisle. II want to

You, and his friend, Mr.. Josselyn-my

Mrs. Lisle then sank into the chair by
Mrs. Smith which Frances vacated, and
left the girl face to face with two young
men. One tall, fair and distinguished
looking, the other short and dark, with
clean shaven, clever face, and wear
ing double eyeglasses. The latter began
the conversation, as his friend stood by,
twirling his long. fair mustache in some
slight embarrassment. After exchang-
ing few commonplace, Frances seized
an opportunity to move on and speak to

The mother smiled fondly and proudly
upon her two bonny girls, and patted
the younger ones chestnut curls.
! What little goose it is! You are
both much too young to be thinking
about lovers; you especially, Edith, with
the prospect Of another two years Of
school life before you. Francie must
please herself, you know. Mr.. Fitz-
hardy is an exceedingly clever and in

Frances likes him. And then remember
his sister is her dearest friend"

who would make SO much of half sis

What splendid position she has as mis-
tress of his house. Ample means, car

and a large circle of friends among the

brother" said Edith. II was looking at
him as possible lover. capacity in

Mrs. Isle laughed, but Frances rose,
much irritated.
What has that got to do with it, and
who says he is any ones loverY
Il do replied Edith imperturbably.
I'm bet you anything you like he is in
love with you"
Frances gave her sister look Of I'M
fashionable disgust. but Mrs. Lisle only
smothered a smile and gave utterance to
afeeble remonstrance. "Oh, Edith-my

Il hope. Edith, if send you to school
In Paris for couple Of years, you won't
come back with your head stuffed as
full of nonsense as your sisters is. Let
no more be said about it; IL we have the
party at all, intend the Smiths to be
invited. Tell Frances her fine friends
may stop away If she thinks the COM
pany will be too mixed for their notions.
Now, my dears, don't hinder me any
longer. ought to have been Off an hour
ago.
So saying, DR.. Lisle left the room; q
moment later the front door banged and
the brougham drove away.
Then suppose had better write the
card, mammal" asked Edith, a young
girl who was seated at writing table
covered with cards and envelopes which
she was filling up and addressing.
Yes, my DEAR" replied the little
delicate looking middle aged lady who
sat near her, ii am sorry Francie should
be vexed, but papa is quite right; the
Smiths have been so exceedingly kind
and polite, we really ought to show them
what civility we can. | am sure the
dinner they gave us the other night was
splendid. OF course they won't expect
us to return their hospitality in anything
like the same lavish manner: they know
we are not millionaires.-
'Francie says she wishes Mr.. Smith
had not taken it into his head to fall
down and break his leg at his shop in
stead of in his own home. where his own
doctor could have attended him."
Il am sorry Frances is SO foolish. It
was very lucky that papa happened to
oe the nearest medical man who could
be found, for it led to his becoming the
regular doctor to their establishment; an
appointment not at all to DO despised
They both took great fancy to him
papa is always a favorite wherever he
goes"
Il believe Mrs. Smith thinks that but
for papa her husband would never have
walked again!" said Edith, laughing.

mon.
The night of the party arrived. DR..
Lisle's house was lit up from roof to
basement, carriages and cabs steadily
deposited their occupants at the door,
and the large double drawing rooms
were filling fast. Among the earliest
arrivals were Mr.. and Miss Fitzhardy.
Frances contrived to whisper to her dear
friend that they had been obliged to ask
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith. "of Smith and
Trewson, You know"
"Oh. dear. how amusing" said that
young lady: get all my frocks there!
Pray don't distress yourself, Frances;
you need not mention our name to them.

like? Are they here now?"
mo- said Frances, delighted to see
that her august visitor took the matter
so affably.
do you know ! am quite curious to
see them, Frances" Miss Fitzhardy
went on, with little laugh. Il don't
think | ever met people of that sort out
anywhere before" A remark which,
although uttered in the most innocent
manner, sent sudden flood of crimson
over Frances fair face and neck, and
she was glad enough to turn to Mr..
Fitzhardy and hear what he had to say
about new collection of pictures he
had been inspecting that afternoon.
Meanwhile the crowd grew thicker
and thicker and the hum of voices louder

ford piece on the grand piano in the
larger room. but Frances, at the other
end of the small drawing room, could
hear little of the performance above the
hubbub of conversation. Suddenly she
caught her mothers eye, evidently
searching for her. She made her way
to her as quickly as she could.
Frances" whispered Mrs. Lisle, "you
must come and be introduced to Mrs
Smith; remember she knows no one
here. ! want you to come and talk to
her.
A minute later the girl found herself
seated by a stout elderly lady in a rich
| velvet dress, adorned with lovely lace,
which was fastened at the throat by a
magnificent diamond ornament Above
this elegant fnery beamed large,
round. rosy, good humored face.
I'm glad TO make your acquaintance,
my DEAR" she said. 1--WE heard about
you from your pa-and mighty proud he

Frances had no reply ready; none was
needed, for Mrs. Smith, feeling herself
upon an inexhaustible subject. continued
without pausing longer than to take
breath.
II dare say you think it's funny for me
to call my son Johnny and he such a
fine grown up young fellow, and taken
his degree and all that, but You see Mr..
Smith is john and Johnny he's John
toe. His father calls him Jack, but
that never could take to, because long
ago. when was a girl and lived in the
country-before | came to London to

She paused again to take breath and

spected; anu just now, you KNOW, Fran-
ces thinks so much of intellect and cul-
tivation and all that kind of thing.
You must stop these jokes; they are not

"She has nothing else, my dear, and
young men want so much nowadays"
Later on, when DR.. Isle had returned
from his round, dined. and established
himself in an easy chair with his cigar
he said to his wife, who sat by him:
