Times flies, and no man can reach Ills
hand to stay ii. A very good thing too,
thinks Monica, as she stands before her look
ing glass putting the last pretty touches to
her white toilet.
It Is Friday. Madam O'Connor's garden-
party lies before her, and, probably, other
things. Here she bushes at herself, as she
sees that pretty soul in the glass, thoughin-
deed, she has no cause to do so; but posi-
blythe vaguethought of those s'other things''
has something to do with it, and perhaps 1t
Is for their sake too that she places with
SUCH care the heavy, blo%od-colored rose be-
meath her chin.
This is the only suspicion of color about
her. Her gown is white her hat is white;
long white silk gloves runup her rounded
arms as though bent on joining her sleeves
far abc7e the elbow. A white Surar sash Is
tied round her dainty waist. She is looking
''as fair US the moon, as lovely as q rose"
&nd altogether distinctly dan serous.
Perhaps she half recognizes this fact, DO.
cause she smiles at her WI reflection, and
vain little girl that she is-stoops forward
and kisses herself III the happy glass that
holds her even for so brief a minute; after
which she summons her maid from her
dressing-room beyond.
"Canty," she says, rs the 'uncle's wife's
sisters child enters, u am dressed now;
and
"Shure, so You are. miss and lovely We
look. more power to yc."
