A Luncheon for the Girl Graduate

A Luncheon for the Girl Graduate.
This description of a luncheon to be
given by the mother of sweet girl
graduate may be Of assistance to 9TH
ers who wish to have similar affairs.
The class colors are orange. and pur-
pie, gorgeous in the extreme, yet they
combine very prettily. There are just
IL girls, and they are to sit around
polished table, with lace mats over
purple.
The candles are to be individual ones
in brass holders, with shades of lace
paper fllagree over purple. Tiny dolls
dressed In purple gowns with caps
of orange are to hold the place
cards, which are cut out in book form
from purplish cardboard lettered in
gold with the words: THE History of
Miss Blank"
The menu Is to be the usual one, so
I'll not give the dishes, but the salad
of orange, nuts. celery and white
grapes is to be served in halves OF
oranges made into baskets with bow
of orange and purple on the handle.
The ice is to be orange, with cake
frosted with the egg yolks instead Of
the whites. With the after-dinner
coffee paper rolls tied up like diplomas
with the class colors will be passed
bearing this pretty verse, which Is
most appropriate for the guests just
starting out on the next period Of
lifes journey;
"A little journeying through shade
and sun,
A little rest where quiet waters run,
A little parleying with friend and foe.
A little oasis where blossoms grow,
A little darkness ere the light is Won"
MADAME MERRI.

The two sat in silence, both think

past the place where Helen had seen
Arthur before. The girl trembled as
she glanced at fl, for all OF the pre-

TO preach about wickedness to her
elders"
Helen had nothing to reply 90 those
bitter words, for IL was only too easy
just then to make her accuse herself
of anything. She sat. meekiy suffer
ing, and thinking that the other was
quite justified in all her anger Mrs.
Roberts was, Of course, quite incapa-
bic Of approaching her mood, and CON
tinued To pour out her sarcasm and to
grow more and more bitter. To tell
the truth. the worthy matron had not
been half so unselfish in her hopes
about Helen as she liked to pretend.
and she showed then that. like the
most people Of the world who are per-
fectly goodnatured on the surface, she
could display no little ugliness when
thwarted IN her ambitions and Of
Tended in her pride.
1t was not possible, however, for
her to find a word that could seem TO
Helen unjust. so much was the girl
already hImbled. Ii was only after
her aunt had ceased to direct her
taunts at her and turned her spite
upon Mr.. Howard and his superior
ideas that it seemed TO Helen that il
was not helping her to hear more;
then she rose and said. very gently:
Aunt Polly, ! am sorry that you feel
so about me. and I wish that l could
explain to you better what 1 am do
ing 1 know that what ] did at first
was all wrong. but that is no reason
why I should leave il wrong forever.
l think now that 1 ought TO go and
talk to Mr. Harrison, who Is waiting

will be there today. and I want TO tell
him about how dreadfully have
treated Arthur. and beg him TO forgive

So Mrs. Roberts went on, quite

as convinced as ever OF the complete

But then I do not understand,
went on Mr.. Harrison. with a puzzled
look You spoke OF its having been
So wrong; was il not your right 10

And Helen. furnishing herself as she
had learned so bravely 10 do. did not
lower her eyes even then: she flushed
somewhat, however. as she answered;

said, FOR you were right and true in

Probably the good man had never
been more embarrassed in his life than
he was Just them. The truth To be
told he was perfectly well aware why
Helen had wished TO marry him. and
had been ali along without seeing any
thing in that for which TO dislike her:
he was quite without an answer 10
her present question, and could only
cough and stammer and reach for his
handkerchief. The girl went on quick
~, without waiting very long for his
reply:
Il owe IL to you to tell YOU the
TRUTH she said, and then it will no
longer cause you pain TO give me up.
For l did not love You at

she looked up again her face was
very white and pitiful to see, and

woman put her arm about her.

So Helen crept into the carriage

Thou ma eStc ia lay sadness
Upon Jue present occasion there

"a little, but the thoughts which haunt
ed her were not 0t "a kind 20 be for

WIeJched as ever. "a nat she had done
seemed 10 her so dreadful that even
tears were not right and she felt that
she ought only 10 sit still and think
of il and be frightened. 1t seemed 20
her lust then as If sne would nave 70
do the same thing tor the rest of her
DAYS. She spent several hours in her
room without once moving and with
out being disturbed, for Aer aunt was
sufficiently annoyed At her morning
reception not To visit her again. The
lunch hour passed. therefore, an
thought of by Helen. and 1t was an
hour or TWO later before sac heard
her aunts step in the hall and her
knock upon the door.
Mrs. Roberts entered and stood In
the ceLter Of the room, gazing al
Helen and at the look of helpless
despair which she turned toward her.
Tile Vomans own lips were set very
tightly.
We'll" she said. abruptly. have
YOU haG your wish, and are you
happy?"
Helen did not answer. nor did she
half realize the question, 50 lost was
she in her own misery. She sat Gaz-
ing at her aunt. while the latter went
on: You have had your way In one
thing. at any rate. Helen. Mr.. Har-
rison is downstairs 10 see you"
The girl gave a slight start. but then
she answered quietly: Thank you,
auntle. I shall go down and see him"
Helen" said Mrs. Roberts, do YOU
still refuse 10 tell me anything. OF
what ] ask you 2''
Helen was quite too much humbled
TO wish to oppose anyone just then,
and she answered mournfully: What
is It that you wish?'
Il wish TO know in the hrst place
why you wanted to see Mr.. Harrison"
Il wanted TO see him to tell him
that l could not marry him. Aunt
Polly"
And Mrs. Roberts sat down opposite
Helen and fixed her gaze upon her, 81

Now, Helen, what in the world has
come over you to make you behave IN
this fashion,"

gan the girl; Il don't know"
What did you find at Hilltown?"
went on her aunt persistently. hid

NO, Aunt Polly. that is what is the
matter He has gone"
Gone. Gone where %
Away, Aunt Polly! Nobody saw
him go. and he left a note saying that
he would never return. And I am so
frightened-''
Mrs. Roberts was gazing at her niece
with puzzled look upon her face.
She Interrupted her by echoing the
word frightened inquiringly.
Yes, auntie," chied the girl: "for I
may never he able 10 find him again
to undo what I have done!'
And Mrs. Roberts responded with a
wondering laugh. and observed: For
my part I should think you'd be very
glad to be rid of him So"

Then. without waiting for any reply,
the girl left the room and went slowly
down the steps. The sorrow that pos
sessed her lay so deep upon her heart
that everything else seemed trivial in
comparison. and she had put aside and
forgotten the whole scene with her
aunt before she had reached the par
Tor, where Mr.. Harrison was waiting:
she did not stop 10 compose herself
OF 10 think what 10 say, but went
quickly into the room.
Mr.. Harrison, who was standing by
the window, turned when he heard
her, she answered his greeting kindly
and then SAT down and remained very
still Tor a moment or two. gazing AT
her hands in her lap. At last she
raised her eyes 10 him, and asked:
sir. Harrison, did you receive the let
ter / wrote you?'
Yes the other answered quickly,
Il did. cannot tell you how much
pain IL caused me. And, Helen-Or
