China is in the hands OF a strong, in
telligent, and revered woman-the en-
press dowager. She is one of the his
toric characters of the world She
ruled China for thirty years during the
most difficult period of its history
the period when foreign plans and
methods were being introduced, and
new ideas, thoughts, and schemes were
driving out The Old She ruled China
well. Talk of her killing the emperor?
Why should she do it? He is her
most devoted loving, and affectionate
child. She saw the young, and weak
emperor beset by factions, dragged
h!ther and thither by the bribed
agents of one country and another, and
she took again, in her worn, but strong
hands the reins OF power. She win hold

leading men at Peking who dared to

vcry same day-to travel 10 separate al

moved to Mayfald at last to live. Mrs.

thing. Then the changes she had or

returned SO late from calling with
Helen. to find that her bonnet had not
set arrived. And then that awful time
on Easter morning before the girl came

the wrong bonnet-a bonnet she had
never seen before-a horrid nightmare
OF a thing in lavender and pink, which
she had to wear or stay at home-new
blue silk and an,

let Jack get the bonnet IN the city this
year, and lea the people Of Mayheld stare
IL they wished.
So ut length she arose and went to her
desk to write 10 her grown-up boy"
In the course Of time, and several days
before Easter. the bonnet from the
great metropolis arrived along with a
note from Jack d~eploring the fact that
he could not have carried it home IN
person. Tt was really d jewel, a dainty
creation Of airy, graceful feathers on a
moss-green frame and subdued with
violets that were poised with an ex-
quisite grace, where they nodded and
smiled and seemed to be tossing the
sweetest Of perfume kisses to all who
we're gracious enough to behold.
But Easter morningl An, how It
brightly o~utieweled all others Of the
year. The sun shone warmly from a
aawless sky Of turquoise hue; the trees
wore freshest, fairest emerald leaves, or
pearl and ruby blossoms; the grass was
sparkle with diamond dew, and the
birds were chorusing in anthems as
slear and sweet as the crystal tnlie,
.inlzle rung from pebbles by the brook.

PRECISE ErRoDUcrioNs-EAc or THE orHER

Mr.. and Mrs. Montague not only were
in harmony with al the scene, but were
really a part and parcel Of it, as, with
faces gay with smiles, they slowly
walked the way to church. The bells
had never sounded half SO musical and
liquid br~ight-that is, except on one DE-
casion, to which, indeed, Mr. Montague
was moved now to allude.
Just such a morning as this, said
he, with a buoyancy in his voice, that
we went to the ehapel-so many, aud
yet It seems SO very few years ago.

Of sunshine we have had ever sincel"
"Oh, yesl And didn't the girls look

70 call her Helen-wouldnt you,
Fanny to-day? Wasn't it odd that
Helen should have been the one to In
troduce us? What a lively pair you
used to make-you two!'
IA glow had come in the cheek Of Mrs.
Montague and an extra brightness in
her eyes She felt a yearning toward
the girl who had been her chum-the
tain young lady who had found her mate
-the matronly woman whom long she
had loved.

unused aloud "but 1 know She wouldn't

What way, my dear2" said her hus-
band, when she paused. "What do you
know-about whom? Who wouldn't
