By this time other radical changes had
come about besides the advent OF another
generation. At last Mrs. Trafford had
carried her threats into effect and had
turned her back upon the good society of
Blankhampton for the wider and more
interesting sphere Of life In London. Her
little pted-d-terre had finally resolved IT.
self into q sweet little entresol ut the 9th.
er end OF Victoria Street to that ip which
the Step hen Towards fiat stood. Here
she had already established very much
the same kind OF salon for which she had
been renowned in the old city where she
had had such enormous and satisfactory
success IN the matter OF settling her girls
comfortably and suitably in life. That
was "a phrase which was very often in
Mrs. Trafford's mouth. "Yes-I have
been very fortunate In my girls" she
would say, "for you see they have not
only settled comfortably but also very
suitably"
In London Mrs. Bob became very soon
quite IA popular as she had always been
In Bla~nkhampton, aud being a very in
innate friend Of Lady Lucifer's, she had
the opportunity Of knowing very good
people.
Mrs. Trafford and Julia Howard also
knew IL not a better set Of people than
they had known in B~lankhampton, at
least n less mixed one, and really the life
which Julia led was what Mrs. Trafford
described rs Unfortunately gay. "Ohl Julia
has no time for babies" she said, with q
laugh, TO Mrs. Bob; 1T is quite as well
hat she has none"
Yes, think it is." returned Mrs. Bob,
who had always been Of that o%ninion,

A year had gone by, the happiest year
of Julia Towards whole life. She and
Stephen were still utterly and entirely In
love with one another and were, as many
of their friends said, quite u pattern TO
young married people In general, and
those OF their W acquaintance in par.
ticular.
II is true that her sister and cousin still
seemed equally happy, but changes had
come 10 them aud they had neither OF
them been able to set up in quite the
same style as Stephen Howard and his
wife lived in. Aud Madge had got an
other baby, another beautiful person, .
little girl. with her mothers soft velvet
like eyes aud something OF Lady Gee

satin skinned person who seemed to enjoy
tucking her little pink aud dimpled fist
into her mouth equally as much Is she
enjoyed long and strong draughts from q
bottle with an India-ruDber arrangement
at one end and q cork at the top.
Aud Laura had got 4 baby. too. also a
girl, little Theo, u reproduction Of her
handsome father just softened by the diff
ference of sex. That baby had made q
great difference to her father and mother;
for the income of n man so very much de-
ponds upon the standpoint from which
you choose TO look ut it-and q handsome
allowance, with h certain emphasis on the
adjective, is one thing when you arrange to
settle IL on some one else. presumably
your heir, and quite another TO the heir
who looks forward TO one day enjoying
the reversion OF your income and estate to
the tune Of just as many thousands as
you have made your allowance hundreds.
Nevertheless, Sir Anthony aud his wife
were Unfortunately proud OF the little Thee

likely to lie born into the world again.
No little voice had come to make q dis

Street nor did there seem to be any pros
pect OF such a contingency happening.
''Such a pity" rs Mrs. Trafrord said QUE
day to Mrs. Bob.
"Yes, it Island 1t isn't" Mrs. Bob re-
piled. 'In a way it's a great pity--but

the genial Jim replied:

While at school, like other boys, ! had
lots Of trouble with schoolmates aud

He joined the school after I did and he

as for myself. We were all afraid of
him on account OF his being SO much
larger and older than any OF US. After
he thought he had the whole school

June.
There's a season Of the year
when all nature doth appear
with music "a good checrl
When The good old mother earth
ONernCWing with her miTth.
Fills the sou OF everything
with all her own rich ~seasoningl
When the forest and the glades
reno with the serenades
OF the laughing, dancing rills
As they tumble down the hills,
Shouting joyous tubilees
To the overwhelming trees
Happier han the knights Of old
Playing on their harps Of gold!
When the sounds Of all creation,
From the violent vibration
or the sweeping hurricane
To the naturalization
Or the herds upon the plain
Beat In time and in rhyme
breathing harmony sublime,
For old nature from her cover
Slyly plays the part OF lover,
And her turbulent excuses
Are but passionate caresses,
Mingled with her t~endernesses.
There's a season OF the year
Filled with music and good cheer.
When all nature Is in tune
It's the golden month OF June.
