noon when he discovered her reading
the Journals extra.
No. we are to meet him there. He
seems rather pleasanter than usual this
evening remarked Mrs. Tanberry
hopefully, as she retired.
Den We mus git ready 10 share big

Alas, Poor adoring serVitreSs, she re-

dress she declared it a fright, tried
two others, abused each roundly, dis

abruptly. and again put on the first
Sitting down 20 the mirror, she spent a
fun hour over the arrangement of her
hair. looking attentively at the image
sometimes with the beginning of doubt
full approval, often angrily. and, now
and then beseeChiugly, lmploring it to
he lovely.
When Mrs Tanberry came in to tell
her that Nelson was at the block with
the carriage, Miss Betty did not turn,
and the older lady stopped on the
gasp Of delight. For the picture she
saw was, without a doubt in the world,
what she proclaimed it, a moment later,
rayishingly pretty; the girlish little
pink and white room with all its dainty
settings for a background, lit by the
dozen candles in their sconces and half
as many slender silver candlesticks,
and, seated before the twinkling mir
ror, the beautiful Miss Carewe, in her
gown of lace and founces that We're
crisp, yet soft, her rope of pearls, her
white sandals and all the glory of her
youth. She had wound a wreath of
white roses into her hair, her cheeks
were flushed. and her eyes warm and
glowing, yet inscrutable in their long
gaze into the mirror.
oh said Mrs. Tanberry, you make
me want to be man! I'd pick you up
and run to the North Pole, where no
one could ever follow. And l can tell
you that ii hurts not TO throw my
arms round you and kiss you; but
you're so exquisite l don't want to
touch you!'

kissed her rapturously on both cheeks.

it? Will the roses do?" And without
needing her companions staccatoes of
approval she went rapidly to the open
bureau, snatched up a double handful
OF ribbons ana turbelows, and dashed
out of the room in search of the dis
graced Mamie. She found her seated
on the kitchen door step in lonely la
mentation. and showered the gifts into
her lap while the vain one shrieked in
imitaby with pride in the sudden Wis
ion of her mistress and joy of the in
credible possessions.
Here, and here, and here!" said Mics
Betty, in a breath hurting the fineries
Mamie. and these aren't to make up for
the pain l gave you. but just to show
that I'd like to if I knew how! Good

breeze.
Dance wild the 'somdest,"
screamed Mamie, pursuing uproarious-
ly to see the last of her as she jumped
into the carriage, bow to de wittriest
an kiss de one you love de bes'!'
THAT viii be you' said Miss Betty
to Mrs. Tanberry, and kissed the good
lady again.
