ing to an air of comic opera. His experience
had told him that comic opera ended in mar
riage so he waited even after his son had
declared to him that he would never marry
Estelle and even when Estelle answered di-
rect insinuation by saying that she would
never marry AMBROSE.
They were too good friends for that.
Yet, Mr. Borgombi failed to understand
the persistence OF this absurd coalition.
Estelle had tutor who shared Borgombi's
disappointment, and as he was an ignorant
fellow, he had resource to an old common
place trick in order to make the two children
agree.
One day he said to Estelle:
II see that you do not wish any one to
marry you for your moneys sake?"
''Oh, no!''

he made me his eonfidant. He has no idea
of your fortune; he is an artist I'll intro
duce him 10 you. He is not rich. but he is
talented That's your ideal, is it not?"
My ideal? Yes, indeed" murmured Es-
telle, with shade of disappointment.
Her tutor Introduced the artist to her and
the artist showed her such love that be fright
ened her. On the first call he wished to make
her picture; on the second he reeited poetry

''Sir." said he to Ambrose, "a man who
does not wish to marry girl does not CON-
promise her in such manner.
Ambrose stammered some Insignificant ex-
euse. The tutor continued:
"If you are man Of honor you know what
is left you TO do"
ITO kill myself"
"Why, no; ask me for her hand.
Ambrose discovered suddenly that he had
been very foolish. but that, at the same time
he had not been too awkward; he had lost
great deal Of time, but had gained great
deal of love.
EsteIle submitted, laughing, and said to her
friend:
''At least I'm sure that you do not marry
me for my money"
''And l." said AMBROSE. who was recover

Prompted by their straightforward natures.
the two unfortunates. suffering from a super
abundancy OF millions, were irresistibly
drawn into an explanation, during which
they mutually swore. from the bottom Of their
hearts, that they never, never would marry
one another, SO as to battle the calculations
and the greediness of their parents, who
wished TO dispose of them.
This exchange of resolutions bound them
so firmly that they no longer could live with
out each other and that the most sincere,
the purest, the most delicate idyl blossomed
in the rich conservatory under the light of
their millions.
They were perfectly truthful in the compro-
mise IN which both their hearts intrenched
themselves, as in fortress, and notwith-
standing all their intelligence. these two pure
beings saw their sympathy-let US sayit, their
loye-increase every minute, while swearing
never TO marry.

not stoop to vulgar ambition or to small

triumphant speculator had made of his son
an honest man who despised money. who

Portable millions to her daughter Esteie
Like Ambrose, the young girl had been
brought UP amid the best possible conditions
of perfection; she had been placed in a con-
vent, where she had daughters of princesses
and marchionesses for companions All the
music which rather large brain could con-
tain was hammered into her. She was taught
to dance, 10 draw, and even to act.
But her natural modesty made her choose
always the simplest parts, and her last part in
the Fall of Jericho, which was slayed be-
fore the archbishop, was that OF a stone in the
wall. She was standing on the stage, dressed
in white, and at the sound of the bugle fell
on her knees, exelaiming: Long live

A NUT DELICACY.

How Chestnuts Are Prepared for Food by
the Italians.
In the Apprentices there are threeways OF
preparing fresh chestnuts-ballotti Qhe
boiled), arrostite (the roasted), and tegliate.
The nuts are first shelled, then boiled with a
quantity of caraway seeds. TO give them flavor,
the consequence being that the chestnut favor
is wanting But, if 1 wish TO eat necci, the
deiicacy par excellence, the goal which the
raccolta has ever in view, shall be eplged
to remain here well into December.
After the nuts are thoroughly dried-and it
takes some weeks of piling on OF wood at the
metato TO accomplish this-they are ground
at mill, and the -four supplies the main food
of the poor peasantry all winter. Necci are
simply fiat cakes made of this -four, mixed
with water; no salt-it is dear i'll Italy, the
tax being heavy-and baked between heated
fat stones. with chestnut leaves next the
cakes TO prevent their sticking to the stone.
These leaves, gathered by thousands fresh
from the trees in September, are soaked be-
fore using. 1t gives the village grandams-
of which rather shrunken ana diminutive
creature there seems a fair supply nere-a
rest from spinning to string the leaves when
gathered and hang them up TO dry. To my
enlightened idea these lengthy festoons,
which for some days adorned the cottage
doorways, appeared something in the nature of
a Christmas decoration.
