Mr.. and Mrs. Montague not only were
in harmony with all the scene, but were
really a part and parcel Of 1t, us, with
faces gay with smiles, they slowly
walked the way to church. The bells
had never sounded half SO musical and
liquid bright--that Is, except on one oc.
casion, to which, indeed, Mr.. Montague
was moved now to allude.
Just such morning as this" said
he. with q buoyancy in his voice, "thai
we went to the chapel-so many, and
yet 1t seems so very few years ago
What day that YVES! And what lot
OF sunshine we have had ever since!"
"0h, yes! And didn't the girls look
pretty-and l!elen--Mrs.-Mrs. Kapu-
lette?"
I'D call her Helen---wouldnt you,
lanny-to-day? Wasn't II odd that
Helen should have been the one to in
troduce us? What lively pair you
used to make-you two!"
A glow had come in the cheek Of Mrs.
Montague and an extra brightness in
her eyes. She felt yearning toward
the girl who had been her chum-the
tall young lady who had found her mate
the matronly woman whom long she
had loved.
II wish could see the way" she
unused aloud; "but know she wouldn't
meet"
."What way, my dear?" said her hus-
band, when she paused. what do you
know-about whom? Who wouldn't
meet whnt?"
II was just thinking what n lovely
bonnet that Is on that lady ahead!" She
chatted along adniiringly-as we'll she
1night, having really the prettiest bon
net on parude-but her undercurrent Of
thought was still of Helen, though she
parried the questions of her husband
with the lightest digressions.
Up the steps OF the miniature ca.
thedral the brilliant throng OF Mayield
was swimming, fnces turned-amid the
gayety Of dancing plumes and blooms
that courtesied from bonnet to bonnet
Ito note what their neighbors had
found or created to grace the happy &C.
cnsion.
Within. as Mr.. and Mrs. Montague
walked calmly up the aisle, the organ
was pealing exultantly, pouring forth
its thousand voices Of praise In an ex-
uberant and swelling river of harmony.
MS II itself were the fountain Of melo-
dies divine.
They took their seats. and reached.
like children, each for the hand Of the
other. to exchange a gentle pressure.
No sooner had Mrs. Montague CON-
menced 4 rapid survey Of the congrpgn-
tion-ln which her glnnce went fitting
from one exotic to another. like but
terhy IN clover-tlsan she found herself,
abruptly. looking IN the face and at the
bcnnst Of MrA. Kapulctie. And Helen

Both In confusion at last were glad Il

held below the pews; but neither was
reading, nor praying, nor seeing q
thing but the twin Of her bonnet, and
wondering with might and main how
this singular duplication had been made
possible. -.
Mrs. Knpulette was guilty OF stealing
q "peek" from the sides OF her eyes
Mrs. Montague was timidly attempting
similar sortie. The glances met and
fell again to the books. The service
commenced, but nothing wns heard OF

mechanical manner, by the two. They
were quite enough engrossed with at.
tempts to flank the enemy.
In the midst OF the battle OF glnnccs,
which had gone SO far that each was
now feeling singularly humorous and
amused, their gaze WINS focused on n
striking pair of tall young people Gid.

They were Julia Kapulettc, the daugh.

sams identical school together-ths
best of chums-they were married the
very same day-to travel In separate d.
rections later, to be sure-nnd both had
moved to Mayfield ut last TO live. Mrs.
Montague recalled every detail Of her
order for that fatal Easter bonnet; ex-
actly that delicate shade Of yellow, and
whit the trimmings were-and every
thing. Then the changes she had or
dered; the exasperating slowness and
stupidity Of Miss lie Fevre; the crazed
despair, when, that Saturday night she
returned so late from calling with
Helen, to find that her bonnet had not
yet arrived. And then that awful time
on Easter morning, before the girl came
weakly up the steps and handed in
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 oil.
She wouldn't have believed that Helen
could have worn her own very bonnet
and with yelling over the yellow at that
and then be so hateful. She Won
dered vaguely II they ever would speak
to each other again. No, she didn't be-
lieve they would; she didn't believe that
Helen wns half SO ready to forget and
forgive us she. Well, she would just
let jack get the bonnet in the city this
year, and let the people Of Mayfield stare
II they wished.
So mt length she arose and went to her
desk to write to her grown-up "boy."
In the course Of time, and several days
before Easter, the bonnet from the
great metropolis arrived along with
note from Jack deploring the fact that
he could not have carried II home In
person. II was really jewel, n dainty
creation Of airy, graceful feathers on
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
were gracious enough to behold.
But Faster morning! All, how II
brightly outjeweled all others OF the
year. The sun shone warmly from
iawless sky Of turquoise hue; the trees
wore freshest, fnirest emerald leaves, or
pearl and ruby blossoms; the grass was
asparkle with diamond dew, and the
birds were chorusing in anthems us
clear and sweet rs the crystal tinkle,
tinkle rung from pebbles by the brook.
