"some one" though why 1 am sure I
don't know unless it's because Mrs.
Kay's brother is on the city council.
Papa was quite offhand about the
matter
''It will rub up the girls French and
give US all a thorough change Of scene,
Maria" he said to mamma Il quite
long to 'parley-voo' again and to taste
some of those delicious little French
dishes. All! tell you, travelling en-
larges the mind
And he went off to smoke in high
good humor.
We were recommended to a boarding
house by the Rays. They assured us
that "only the best people VIII be
found there. We've often stayed there
ourselves"
We engaged rooms and after horri-
BILE crossing arrived at our destination
The pension was rather dingy and
unprepossessing and the best peo-
ple' were certainly very dull. They
were mostly English, and they steadily
avoided one another. If it had not
been for a bright little Frenchwoman
and her husband it would have been
deadly, but we went about with them
for the first few days, and then-the
count came.
The whole place was in a futter of
excitement, and we were simply long
ing for the evening meal. when, as our
portly landlady assured us. with her
gilt earrings twinkling from emotion,
M. lie Comte de Marabout will give us
the honor of his distinguished com
pany. He is not proud, NJ. lie Comte!
Mon Dieu, no! But an aristocrat-jusqu

And she hustled away in the volumi

in honor Of her illustrious guest. /
was surprised to find count made so
much of in republican country. but
then, as papa says, travelling does
enlarge the mind
We smartened ourselves up a good

Of your boudoir-of anything that be-
longs to you, my goddess
| was STOPPING to unbolt the door
which led to the garden when a sud
den sharp cry from Miss Croft made
me look round.
'Pierrer' ii
The count started and looked at her
for the first time. He grew pale; his
jaw fell. We stood breathless, but the
count seemed turned to stone.
Laura was the first to speak. Her
hand rested in the counts.
What is the matter, Miss Croft"
she said. do you know my f1ancew
Miss Croft tottered.
God forgive himv' she gasped. HE
is my husband!
l don't know what happened then.
A confused cry broke from every one,
for the count had fed like a fash of
lightning. gained the hall door and,
hatless and coatless, rushed out of the
house. His guilt was evident-he had
condemned himself With the utmost
difficulty we restrained papa from fol
lowing him. There is no knowing
what he might have done in his rage.
But how describe the scene? Poor
Laura tainted, and the two Kay girls,
who had stood open mouthed and be-
wildered, stole quietly away.
l cannot write The incident is too
recent the wound too fresh But if
this serve as a warning to others it
will not have been written in vain. 1
need only add that young Peters looks
very happy. and papa has become vio-
lently sOcialistic.
Oh, but that was a grand day for the
Rays in Pawtucket!

ance which his ''liberal and dear fu-
ture papa had decided to confer upon
them, from which | gather that papa
had, as Jim terms it, ''coughed up to
considerable amount. Still, no one
could blame him for sacrificing some
thing to such an alliance. After all
though | wouldn't own it to the
Kays-papa used to serve in the store.
Well. the news didn't take long to
travel round Pawtucket, and the next
day the papers were filed with it,
and a whole host of congratulatory
visitors poured in. We were the SEN
sation of Pawtucket, and it was an
hour of unalIoyed triumph. Mamma
sat in state in her best satin dress, and
the count handed round tea and de-
lighted every one by his affability.
Many people who had patronized us
before and had only honored US by
call once a year looked in to see 1.-The
lion'' and were most gushing. Such is
the way of the world.
When every one except the Kay girls
had gone and we were feeling quite
tired out some one proposed stroll in
the garden. The suggestion was eager
| ly welcomed. We had to pass through
our little sitting room, where Miss
! Croft was fixing an evening frock of
Laura's, for the count was going with
US to a dance the next evening.
AS we came in Miss Croft rose in
deprecating way. The count and
Laura had fallen behind the rest of
US, but l heard him saying in his soft
foreign accents as they entered the

What a College Girl Can Do.

The college girl who lives in a small
town has perhaps the greatest power
for influence. Her education and eX-
perience raise her to position which
commands the respect of those others.
who have not had her advantages, and
this position she should use not as an
excuse for egOtism or self sufficiency,
but as a means of accomplishing re-
forms in the life of the community.
Starting a village improvement society
is an excellent way of interesting peo-
pie in their surroundings and opens
to many an entirely new world-a
world which teaches that the useful is
not necessarily the ugly and that en-
vironment is the inspiration of action.
Beautifying the village or town is
bound to bring the citizens together
in new and more intimate associa-
ton and does much to abolish those
dens of vice which disfigure not only
the aspect, but the moral life of a
town.
Of course this is but one phase of
civic Improvement; there are many
others. In the factory town especially
lhele 10 "fue scope Ior the c0llege
bred woman's activity. There is no
reason why the factefy town should
be unsightly or why the employees of
the factory should live in ugly. in
sanitary dwellings; no reason why the
women of the town should not be
reused to interest in their surround
lngs and, above all, to self respect.
The woman of education owes If to
her less fortunate sister to encourage
that feeling of self respect which lies
dormant in the breasts of so many fac
tory women. Give them the vision of
something broader and higher than
is comprehended in their own horizon
and they will try to conform their
lives to 1t.

For the next few days we saw as
much Of the count as we did in Bou
logne. and the Rays fairly writhed
when they saw how attentive he was
to Laura. Mrs. Kay swept our diain~
room all day long with her opera
glasses and sent the two girls in at
all hours Of the day with trivial mes
sages but it was of no avail. On the
fifth day after his arrival the count,

Papa said the count had spoken so
beautifully when he asked for Laura's
hand. He had compared woman to

forest tree, must shelter and protect

the count. This fact acted like match

Every year about the end of July,
when Pawtucket begins to pail upon
us, we breach the subject of "going
away to papa. He always makes the
same scene and says the same things
namely. business has been so bad and
he's not going away; we've git gar
den and might almoit imagine our
selves in the country; what's good
enough for him is good enough pr us.
Then, having let off steam, as my
brother Jim calls it, while we sit
around patiently, he quiets down, and
we make plans as to where we shall
go.
1t was arranged on this occasion that
we should forsake Lakewood and the
Adirondacks and our other favorite
haunts and go to Boulogne, in France,
