to her in a- cold passionless sort of way i b tt netis could scarcely be blind to the fact that her two cousins verona and sabi a were decidedly distant and frigid toktrd her somehow the never seemed t suit them verona declared that the aughed too loud sablna was always try og to train her into the proper method o mtering a room not with a bounce as if you were the housemaid bring coals said

girls are so very boldand unrestrtirref said verona netis looked from one to the other with a puzzled air what ooald she possibly have said to appall her friends thus it is not worth oar while to diicuts the question farther said mrs pytchley netit it not to go that it enough we mast try to get her a place at companion or perhaps a genteel post in some confec tionery orfanoy store but all that can be thought of in the future mr arbajhaot came that evening he very oltea dropped in in a friendly way at mrs pytcbley s bat he looked disap pointed when he did not tea netis mis raymond is not at home ho said netis sees no company in the evening said the manoeuvering widow she is such a little recluse and really sha is getting no homesick that i think she will leave us soon but on easter eve when mrs hytchley and the two girls had gone to assist in the decoration of some fashionable church in their most becoming toilets netis sat down for a hearty cry my poor old bonnet 1 said she to her self as the turned it around ind around it is a little shabby i admit and the feather has never looked quite right since it got drenched in that awful shower f bat i did so want to go to church i won der i she caught up the scissors and hurriedly ripping off the folds of velvet turned them skillfully the other way so as to present a fresh frontage to the publio eye aud the ribbons arent so bad she told herself consolingly if i only had something to trim it with i just then maria the parlor maid came up the stairs with a vase of suburb magno lias i had to cat em miss the said apol ogetically addressing netis them boys wss ttealin em over the fence so ill just set em on tha parlor mantel oh maria do give me one criednetisj only one it makes me fanoy i am in dear alabama maria was a goodhearted girl snre miss youre welcome said tbe hsnding out the sweetest and largest of all the blossoms as she went on her way my own sweet southern darling said netis and as she pressed her iips to he lilac petals the great flower slipped down athwart the violetvelvet bonnet netis uttered a cry of joy the very idea said she and when she stole quietly out to church the next day after the pytchley family had driven off in the carriage which the livery man on the next street had instructions to send around looking as private as pos sible netis wore the remodeled bonnet vjith a royal magnolia on ils side ron easter sunday with the sunshine- pale and wintry still playing on the pave ment at her leet- the church bells clanging oat their triumphant melody her own heart full of dim vhgue happiness as if some thing very very delightful was about lo happen it was a quiet unostentatious church in a side street where fashionable people never went to which she betook berseif and as nelis rose from her prayers she was amazed to see in a pew nearly opposite hers mr arbuthnot i i when service was over he joined her at the church door miss raymond he said may i walk home with you pardon me but they told me that you had returned to the south she looked up shy lovely altogether beautiful did he teethaf the had no new dress that her gloves were mended thit horrors i the purple tipped magnolia was j already beginning to droop from the heated atmosphere of the church jno she faltered i have not returned but i think i shall soon go my oonilnt are tired of me i think and of course since i muit earn my own bread thesoonsr i get accustomed to it the better netis said mr arbathnot gravely i advise you not to go netis looked at him with a grave puzzled kmlle but what am i to do said she stay tvhere i am not welcome j stay where you will have the warmest welcome the tenderest love in the world said arbathnot dear little netii can it be possible that you have not fathomed the secret of my love stay here netis to to my precious treasured wife do you love me said netis a great wave of mingled terror and happiness well ing up into her heart and his tender look answered her mrs pytcbley and her daughters were yet criticising the various easter toilets which they bad seen at church when arbuthnot walked in with little netit ray mond leaning on his arm we are engaged mrs pytchley said netit simply and i do so hope yoa will be pleated what else was there for mrs pytcbley to do but to smile galvanfcally and declare that she wat delighted but where on earth said verona did netit get that exquisite french hat wilh the peerless magnolia on it i tiw no inch flower in all the millinery shops it was a real flower blusbingly admit ted netis i had no other and that
