Tor ornament in these days." said
Mrs. Gardner, "for there is such a
variety of lovely trimmings, and !
think the millinery stores show more
beautiful and more artistic flowers
and ribbons every year."
Il agree with you," said Mrs. Har-
mon, land yet there is a richness
about feathers that other things do
not have, and good breast, or wing,
or plume, is certainly much more
durable than flowers and ribbon"
After breakfast the ladies went
upstairs again, and Mrs. Harmon
took the scissors and began to cut
the threads that held the birds in
place. When she had taken them off
Rose put on the hat.

1T does look better than thought
it would" said Mrs. Harmon.
"A young girl always looks better
simply dressed remarked Mrs.
! Gardner.
Mamma, 1 think I'll have mine
taken off, too" said Floy.
You have made one convert al
ready, Rose" laughed her aunt.
Really, when one stops to think
of it, it does seem strange, this
wearing birds and insects on our
clothing. If Floy or Rose should
go into the garden or field it would
be natural that they should adorn
themselves with rosebuds or daisies,
but il they found dead bird or liv-
ing one they would scarcely make
| that use Of it."

Harmon, but now please consider

About noon Mr.. Hubbard sent his
carriage to take the young people to
drive in Central park. Miss Lyd-
ston called for them, and Plummer
drove. Reginald went out to see
him while the girls were donning
their wraps.
"Ah, here's the Gray Knight" he
said, and you have found pretty
good match for him, too"
Very fair" answered Plummer,
but not so good as that horse of
young Grahams. Mr.. Hubbard
wanted that bad"
Il wish he had succeeded in get
ting him, for Robert Graham is very
hard on him. Papa says his best
days will soon be over"
Il am very sorry for that. 'Tis
about as fine a horse as you often
see."
You haven't any check-rein on.
Do you use one now?"
Not at all. Mr.. Hubbard says he
shall never use one again, now he
knows how hard it is on a horse.
OF course his team don't make quite
the show that it would"
NO" assented Reginald, mot If
you want to make that kind of
show"
"How's Lady getting on?" asked
.Plummer.
Finely. She hasn't run away
yet though she came very near it
once. 1t was rather strange, but the
day that Simpson moved his boat
back we happened to meet him
again"
THAT boat was a bad business for
her. Well, l guess I'm better off
without her! This one is easy and
good-tempered-mo like Knight"
The girls came out and they all got
in, and a merry party they made as
they whirled through the park. Rose
was surprised to find that it seemed
so much like the country.
1T is all the country that some
New Workers ever know" said Miss
Lydston.
They were all much interested in
the handsome equipages they met,
and in the picturesque riders on
