Matte Everett was not contented She
wanted to be rich. She yearned for a
peep into fashionable society," She
was tired of the commonplace exist
ence which she led every day, and
longed for an adventure of some sort
"a streak of romance to dapple her
life!
For Matte was only dressmaker's
apprentice, learning the trade under the
auspices Of Madame Genevicve So
matters stood, when Miss Ballefont's
wedding order came III.
Where's that little blue-eyed girl
you sent to my house to alter my white
cashmere morning robe?" said Miss
Bellefont to Madame Genevieve Let
her come again. She has capital idea
OF trimming, and her fit is excellent"
Augusta Bellefont was not unlike
Matte herself-a plump, fresh complex
Toned girl, with blue eyes and pale yet
low hair-and after she was gone, Mat
tie heard the full particulars of the case

what to do with.
She's a lovely girl, I'm sure" said
Miss Garrett, the forewoman, as she cut
on yard upon yard of bias white satin
for the trimming. And for all that

a penny in all the world to bless him.

'Oh, how delightfully."- romantic" cried
Matte. with sparkling eyes; and she
worked away, thinking of Miss Belle
font and her two lovers.
"One has her heart" she unused, ''the
other will have her hand. Dear, dear,
what world this is!'
Two or three days afterward, Matte
Everett took big paper box of half
completed dress bodices to the pretty
little brown stone house on Creusa
Park, where Miss Bellefont lived The
servant showed her into the library,
where the beauty sat, picturesquely
posed in sleepy hollow chair, with her
satin slippered feet on an embroidered
footstool. And leaning against the
opposite window stood tall, handsome
man, whom Matte recognized at once
for Major Carlyle.
Halo" cried he, in his off hand
way, "is that the milliner's little girl?
Pretty as a daisy, isn't she?''
Il told you she was pretty" said Miss
Bellefont, and Matte smiled and
blushed and dimpled, and scarcely
knew which way to look

And then Matte was ushered into a
satin hung boudoir, of whose splendors
she had never before dreamed.
"Oh, Miss Bellefont,'' she said, Il
