Tn the center was an immense bed of violets and resting on 1t large basket filled with growing jonquils. The candles. their shades and the tempting bon-bons which, with plates of sandwiches, almost covered the pret- ty lace cloth. were in the jonquil tint and in the library a frozen punch fol- lowed the same scheme. t

The Young French Girl

A young French girl enters the theatre with her father. She takes her seat di- rectly in front of the privileged American girls "hnishing'' their education abroad. Her untouched lowerlike face Is alight with anticipated pleasure. with a soft yiv,deness of intelligence that could never be cursed with the word 'brainy." Her hair is bound with little old-fashioned snood and tiny buckle. strangely simple evening dress covers the exquite ardor of her slender body.
 Quickly four faces, the faces of the overindulged, the over-precocious. the over-athletic and the over-dressed, turn to study her. There is something to learn in this little French maid whose eyes never meet a mans, who is never allowed to walk alone on the street, whose un- conscious grace envelopes her like a veil, who is sheltered like delicate bird, yet trained to the utmost energy, reserve, &C., complishment and usefulness.
