green stockings at the wedding of her
I younger sisters. Celia having been
| forced to wear them twice, and now

and angered by the general show of
sympathy and thinly-veiled pity on
the part of her father, sisters, and
their your men attendants, in fit
of resentment, claims to be engaged.
Pressed for particulars. she inVents
a Col. Smith of the Indian army. Her
sister insists on her writing him, and
one of her letters addressed to
"W Obbles'' is mailed unknown to her.
She plans with her aunt Ida to bring
the deception to climax by having
a notice of Smiths death put in the
London Times, intending Immediately
after to start for America with her
aunt. The notice is put in, ard the
entire family are grief stricken over
Celia's loss. Celia has taken advantage
OF her engagement to let household
duties slide, and has blossomed out
into a society butterfly, becoming
very attractive to all the men especial
ly. They are all filled with regret, not
so much at her lovers death, as at the
fact that its coming at this time in
terferes with their pleasure in Celia's
company. Tarver in particular is
wrought up because he fears he shall
lose his election if Celia does not work
for him. Celia assures them that she
Will not allow her grief to be selfish,
and is just about to go out to supper
and concert when gentleman is in

| efforts to escape. Celia is forced by her
