SAVE YOUR HANDS
81 was not asked" said Ella: but

81 was not asked" said Ella: but
don't let that annoy you. II S very pleas
ant mere IN the dInlng-room.
II am hait-Iesolved TO remain here
with YOU, lila, and | now regret that
inns company were invited.
"Oh, GO not stay on my account, please
said Ella.
They should not have had the parlor
| if l had supposed they meant to omit you
| from their Invitations.
Mrs. Conrad went TO a while, but Ella
| yet found it very pleasant III the dlnang-
! room, wnere she had occasional calls from
| Mrs Grierson and Mrs Cloud. But,
| after all, Mrs. Murray did not particular
| ly enjoy it. Having treated her ad1nirer.
Mr.. Drummond very unsraciously SINCE
| MT Danfortns arrival, she was d1sap-
| pointed to ind that Mr.. Danforth paid her
| no especial attention, and that Mr.. Drum
mond seemed to now prefer The society oil
josephine Renault.
The next morning Ella was busy about
the long breakfast table, when MI Dan
forth came in.
"Ah! Miss West, good morning" he
said II quite missed you from the parlor
last evening l believe you were not pres
ent even for a brief time"
No, Mr.. Danforth," said Ella, smil-
ingly Il was not invited. ("
Not invited" he exclaimed-but
moment after Miss Murray walked
proudly in.
"A beautiful morning, Mr.. Danforth,"
she remarked in polite way.
1T is indeed" he replied.
Il congratulate both Miss Antoinette
and yourself" said Mr. AGolphus Drum
mond to Mrs. Renault during the break
fast, ION the complete success OF your
| select entertainment last evening.
! And the young gentleman was quite
aware that Ella was present at the table,
| and had not been asked to the select en-
| tertainment.
! Il am sorry 1 accepted that invitation
! for last evening"" said Mr.. Danforth TO
| Mrs. Grierson half an hour afterward in
| the parlor.
"Why?" she inquired
| Because" he replied, Il have since
! learned that Miss West was not among
| those invited, and l presume that she
| was designedly sighted in this manner.
/ And l think l can tell sou why 1t was
done" said Mrs. Grierson, emphatically.
1T is, | believe because Ella is not as
| fashionable as the ladies who gave the
| entertainments, and because she IS here
to help Mrs. Conrad about the house
work Ella is a young lady I admire, and
1 consider her very practically accom-
plished."
Il nave pleasant news for you. Ella,
said Mrs. Conrad. during the forenoon
Your parents have accepted my invita-
ton 1 told you had given them, to spent
your fathers vacation here. l have re
served a pleasant room for them and ex
pect them this afternoon
And the next two weeks passed verl
pleasantly to Ella, the last OF her stay a
, Mrs. Conrads that year. Mr.. West anC
| Mr. Danforth proved no new acquaint
ances. for Mr. West had been in the en-
/ ploy Of Mr. Danforth's brother for a mum
Der Of years. and Mr.. Hugh Danforth haC
often met him at the store
It was bright September morning
when Ella went away. but she came bacl
again next season-this time as Mrs
Hugh Danforth: ard Mr.. West and hi
wife came, too-this tine as boarders
not visitors. For Mr.. Vests employee
mad. through his brother Hugffs influence
promoted Mr. West to limited partner
ship. and his vacation was now of longe.
