"A very good match she said to
herself "Fesy much alike. I scarcely
know whieH has the more vanity"
Then turning to Ned, she asked:
DO you see any one here you know
Any young ladies, mean?"
II see few. replied Ned. But
who is that girl in white, with no orna.
ments, that stands beside the piano?'
'1That2 Oh, sure enough, the very
girl for you to know, my dear Ned.
She must have attracted you. Though
she comes the nearest to being the or.
iginal Of Charles picture. Of any gil
know, assure you, you need not be
afraid Of her. Let us go over to her"
My dear Mrs. Peyton, am afraid
OF her. What should so imperfect
being as do In the presence Of such q
paragon?"
What do you do In the presence OF
the sun-let her shine on you. The
light she sheds around is kindly, not
fearful"
Julia Gordon was, indeed, lovely
her simple beauty, the heavy braids OF
her soft brown hair crowning a head
round and symmetrical as that Of s
Greek model. Her dark blue eyes werl
clear and large, with soft weirdness
about their expression that was par
ticularly winning. Her mouth wal
sweetly grave, vet suggestive Of thu
rare smile that occasionally broke over
her face like sunbeam. She smiled
now, as, recognizing Mrs. Peyton, she
| held out her hand to her. 1t was a
pretty white hand-an honest looking
hand, and on 1t Ned noticed one soil
taire diamond ring.
':Let me introduce you, my dear girl,
to Mr.. Edward Fairweather, particu-
lar friend OF mine"
She turned her honest, scrutinizing
eyes full upon Ned but he did not
vince. Their glance did not condemn
| him.
| II shall be happy to know Mr.. Fair
weather" said she, very graciously.

Yes, will dance If you like, but I
am not an enthusiast In dancing. On

pany."
"A flower that would grace any
| WALL" thought Ned, though he dared
| not say so.
| As they took their places they found
| themselves very near Charlie Bateman
and his partner. Charlie was all smiles
and graces, and the snowy, overdressed
Miss GreaVes seemed equally pleased
with him. She laughed and chatted
| most vivaciously, seeming to have en-.
tirely lost her ennul.
l After the dance Mrs. Peyton heard
him say to Miss Greavea, as they slow.
" promenaded past her:
did you see Ned Fairweather with
| Miss Gordon7 Thy are just dull eonugh
to suis each otheS, should think"
YES" laughed Miss Greaves; "she
| affects simplicity In dress, though she
is so rich, and Is full Of oddities every
way. For my part, I think her quite
deficient in style"
"She has no soul, should imagine -
said Charlie.
'tJust as I thought" said Mrs. Pey-
ton to herself; "he does not know the
diamond when he finds it."

pant Lily Greaves," said Mrs. Merle to
Mrs Peyton six months after this "A
sad codne-down from his high ideal. She
has some beauty, 1t Is true, but she IL
selfish and quite destitute Of mind.
She'll lead him sorry life, for all she
thinks Of is dress and display; and II
he gets any nursing out Of her in
ness, or rational society in health, I
shall be mistaken"

for himself, however, and has naturally
sought one on his own level. But have

Fairweather ia also to take to himself

'They will have happiness" said
Mrs. Peyton, for he has not only &C.
