| arrived the afternoon before the Wedd1ng-day,
and found the family and guests drinking tea IN
the library Two other bridesmaids there
Alice Fordham and Janet White, with both Of
whom l was slightly acquainted The men, how
ever except Christabels brother Fred, were
strangers to me and were introduced as Mr.. Rich
rnond who was TO be usher; Herbert Gay, a
neighbor who CHANGED TO be calling; and Mr.. Wayne
the tutor of Christabel's younger brother Harold
Mrs Farland was there too, and her welcoming
words to me were as sweet and cordial as Chrstabels
The party was in frivolous mood, and as the jests
and laughter grew more hilarious, Mrs Farland
declared that she would take the brlde-eleCt away
TO her room for quiet rest, lest she should not
appear at her best the next day.
Come with me, Elinor, said Christabel to me,
and I will show YOU my wedding-gIfts
Together we went TO the room set apart for the
purpose. and on many white-draped tables l saw
DISPLAYED the gorgeous prOfusion OF silver glass and
bric-a-brac that are one OF the chief component
parts of a wedding OF to-day.
had gone entirely through my vocabulary OF
ecstatic adiectives and was beginning over again
when we came TO a small table which held only one
wedding-gift.
That IS the gem Of the whole collection, said
Christabel. with happy smile. not only because
Laurence gave 1t to me but because OF its intrinsic
perfection and rarity

But l Just had deduCed
it all from her glove.
You see, she had on one
brand new black kid
glove, and the other,
though crumpled up in
her hand, l could see
never had been on at all.
So | knew that she would
Mt start to market early
in the morning with such
gloves if she had any sort of
half-worn black ones at all.
And | knew that she had
given away her neXt-best
pair recentIy-it must
have been the night be-
fore, or she would have
tried them on sooner; and
as her cook is an enormous
woman. l was sure that
she had given them to her
waitress. And why would
she, unless the maid was
going away in great haste?
And what would require
such a condition of things
except a sudden call to a
funeral? And it must
have been out of town, or
she would have waited
until morning, and then
she could have bought
black gloves for herself.
And it must have been a
near relative, to make the
case so urgent. And |
knew that Mrs. Van Allen
expected luncheon guests,
because her fingers were
stained from pairing ap-
pies; and why would she
pare her own apples 50

Farland said that l must
stay until the bridal pair
returned, for she couldn't
get along without a daugh-
ter of some sort.
This remark made me
look anywhere rather than
at Fred Farland, and so l
CHANGED to catch Harold's
eye, But the boy gave
me such an intelligent,
mischievous smile that |
actually blushed and was
covered with confusion.
Just at that moment
Katy the parlor-maid came
into the dining-room, and

was when Christabel Far

I always had liked Christ

We hadn't seen much OF

Along the back is continuous frill

the anal fin is equally ornanlented. The
fish vary in color, Some are amber, 9th

have two hues combined, dark and light
green or olive and yellow. These pecu-
larities of form and color render the
fish marvelously like the kelp leaves
among which 1t seeks protection.
A number of these fish were placed
in the tanks Of the geological gardens.

showed great uneasiness, some Of them
even leaping from the tank. Another
