A long strip of pink cambric, folded into a solid little mass at the end that lay in the basket, flared out over her lap, while she rapidly, and mechanically set the tiniest stitches in it, looking half the time- at her .two little daughters playing lawri-tennis, and talking with her brother.

Uliwr Storrow.” “ Happy to meet you, sir," the elder 111111 said, scanning the other closely as he shook hands with him. “ I am in your debt. I have received so much pleasure in reading your beautiful work on the Drama among the Ancient: and “ I cannot read it, fatherâ€"father see 2 I cannot read it ; spell it out for me. I thought that surely I my letters knew, But this, I find, I really mnnot do.” Thus spoke a child who, at his fathers side, Walked through a. printing room and vainly tried To read the type. The printer, smiling laid Upon the press a. sheet and kindly said, “ Come, little one, and try to read once t/ze Under/15 and your graceful novel the Lam; Eater. We busy men read novels sometimes to rub a. little of the rust of? our sentiments.” “And we busy men write them to amuse ourselves.

And Miss Georgina. is a. maiden aunt, a. handsome old lady, who was a great belle in her day, and has taken care of Pauline since her mother died. Miss Georgina is an oddity, hates old maids, and has a large fortune which she saves for her niece. Mr. Robeson probably wants something of you in your profession of newspaper editor.” “Mrs. Robeson died when Pauline was a baby. and Pauline is near twenty- four, but Miss Georgina keeps house, and very splendidly. I accepted be- cause I thought‘. you’d enjoy it. The dinners are fine, wines and all.” V“'1.‘here are so many pence of that kind begged of me}: - e -‘ ‘s “Now you become interesting, and have shown your usual tact in accept- ing,” said Oliver, laughing. II ()n the occasion for which Mr- Robeson had invited Mrs Bailey and her brother the flowers in the Robeson parlor were of unusual plenteousness, and Miss Georgina, in a. charming old- fashioned gnvn of fawn colored silk. stood before the mirror, which reflected their fresh aml her antique l;l()01n,tn put a. finishing touch to the yellowish old lace that fell across her white curls and mingled with the lace rufl' that discreetly hid her long throat, and that matched the lace ruffles that hung about the very carefully kept thin hands that told tales of former beauty. Pauline came into the room with some amber-colored tea-roses and a. silk scarf held loosely in her hands. She was in every simple dress of black lace that both veiled and revealed her smooth young arms and neck. Her hair was dressed high, and held with an old-fashioned gold comb. Her aunt tut-nod upon her quickly: “Upon my word, Pauline, you’re qulte a. beaut‘y. I never saw you have any sty1e before.” . . i “‘ Virginia’s very clever to make you say that, Aunt Georgy. She says that I can’t do better for summer than black or white, and that with this dress 1 am to wear terroscs in my hair, and for a. piazza wrap this soft silk thing, amber or pink, I dcn’b know which to call it. I haven’t any idea. 3 have you? Perhaps you can put the roses in. Here are hair-pins.” \Iiss Georgina was engaged in this delicate task when the 3host himself entered. “Why, Pauline, I shouldn’t have known you. Really, Georgina, with» out insincerity, she looks well.” He was greatly pleased. “ Of course,” answered that lady. “ The black seems to set off the Robe- son eyeâ€"that. fiery dark eye. Yes, my dear, your eyes are fine. They’re like mine, you knaw.” ‘ _.. 1 Fauiine, musmng under nus uuuauax publicity, tried to escape from the room, but met a little group of the guests who were staying with them in the doorway, and almost immedi- ately Mrs. Bailey and her brother arrived. They had walked over from the cottage, and Pauline went out to receive them and take Mrs. Bailey upstairs to remove her wraps, and so Oliver was presented to her in the hall. He thought her very quaint and inter- esting in appearance, and was glad to find himself next to her at dinner, though he had taken in a stout lady, the wife of one of the judges, generals, or Colonels who made up the sum of Mr. Robeson’s guests. He did not find it very easy to keep up a. conversatiOn with Pauline, who always let her end of it drop, while the judge’s wife apropos of the flowers on the table, gave a. very lucid account of the importation of orchids, which would have been very interesting ex- cept for Oliver’s masculine ignorance of flowers. Pauline, however, listened to every word, and Oliver asked her if she was fond of flowers. “Oh yes!” she s,aid looking up eagerly. “I have quite a big garden." “I am told that yom garden is famous.” ; “ That’s papa's garden, not mine. ‘ Mine is off in a corner. It is a hun- dred feet square. and one end of it is the brook.” ‘ “Is the brook?" “ Yes. I have water-lilies and callas and irises in the brook, and all kinds of great white lilies on the side of the brook, and then all the rest is just one great mass of roses and other things. I have a. friend who is very artistic, who says that the usual flower garden is atrocious, and that a plot of flowers set cleanly in patches with the bare earth all round is no better than worsted-work. She won’t let ,me have lanything but pale pink flowers, and yellow and blue, and purple and white, if I am to have lilies, she says.” 7‘iâ€"aon’t know what it firould be if you had anything more,” said Oliver. “ It sounds quite iqtoxicating.” . h Having made so long a speech, Pau- line said little else during dinner, for she caught her futhm’s eye and approv- blushing under this unusual THE WATCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1890. ing smile, and all power of speech deserted her. She felt entirely inad- equate to being the graceful and charming woman he desired his dnugtcr to be, and the only thing she could think of was her unusual appearance, which seemed to her a. sort of a. masquer- ade. It was a. relief to Pauline’s mind, after the ladies left the table. to say to Mrs. Bailey, “ Isn’t; it absurd for me to be like thisâ€"so grand 2 Papa wished it, and Virginia had this dress made for me in New York, and others toa.” “ Are you so grand?” said Mrs. Bailey, kindly. “ I don’t think you are very grand. Very elegant and very sweet. Perhaps I never saw you look so like yourself.” There was a. charming soft moon- light when the gentlemen, with lighted cigrars, joined the ladies on the piazza. Mrs. Bailey gave her place next. to Pauline to her brother. “Do you object to my cigar 2’” he said, politely. “Oh; that’s so kind of you to say How kind you are?!” “OIâ€"1 dearâ€"no; I never obJect to any- thing.” “If you did stoop from that pedestal for a moment, would it be a. cigar that you would object to Miss Robeson?” “ Oh no,” said Pauline, laughing. Then as she made no further re- mark, he said, “ Can you show me your garden 3’” "I‘t' is too late, and too dark; all flowers seem white at night that. can be seen at all.” “ Why, it’s not a man at all ; its Vir- ginia Starling.” -r “I didn’t know that, and I remem- ber that your friend allowed you to have pale purples and pink. .Is he a. painter?” vvu v “What a charming name! Is she a painter? She seems to be a very alarming person." “ She is a very enchanting person.” “ And a painter P” “ She doesn’t know yet. She does a good many things, She writes and paints and studies.” “Studies what?” “ Greek.” “She is still more alarming.” “Her mother wanted her tr study Greek and Italian and French, because they are the three artistic languages. Her mother is very aesthetic, and she is a painter. Virginia says that I mustn’t say artist, because barbers and tailors call themselves artists." “She must be very old to have learned all these things.” ‘ Oh, indeed." He took out his cigar to laugh; but as this seemed to embarrass Pauline, he looked grave and said, “And do you do all these things ’I” “Oh no. I only study music and play a little." “And since I have tllu merit to be Mrs. Bailey’s brother, you will show me this some day, as well as your garden?” , ' “It will be easier to show you my garden. I do not often play for any One except Virginia. But some day I shall.” “ I shall come on that day." “ I read French with Virginia,” said Pauline. “ She likes to read Alfred de Musset to me.” "Alfred de Musset- is often called es- pecially a. woman’s p)et,” said Oliver; "but I too care much for him." “Virgima. says,” Pauline continued, “that the poem to Malibran beginning, ‘Oh, Maria Felicia,’ is one of the greatest poems in the world, it 15 so lofty minded.” “It seems to me that I shall believe in De Musset’s poems and dramas as long as I believe 1n youth and spring- time and beauty and love,” said Oliver. “Oh, that must be always,” said Pauline, with charming unconscious- ness. “You especially, who are a vriter of romancee.” “Is that what you call the modern novel ’1” said the young man. “There are no modern romances.” “Why is that '1” she asked. “I suppose because we are too con- scious. In our grandmothers’ time young women sang such songs as ‘I cannot tell thee all I feel,’ and in real life young men turned down their collars in Byron fashion. and serenaded ladies with a guitar. Imagine a young man simple enough to ’stand out there in the moonlight, with a guitar sus- pended about his neck by a. blue rib- bon ! We have passed that stage; we are afraid of being ridiculous.” “I wonder what sort of novels you write ’2” said Pauline. “Oh, I attempt nothing so subtile as that. I am a. true modern in fearâ€" ing to he ridiculous, and I write something as simple as possible. I wish to write something like the Greek plays, if I dared, dealing with big, simple, abstract human emotions.” ,AL “But the Greeks wrote dramas, not novels.” “Yes, of course they wrote dramas.” -“ Virginia says that the drama. deals with situations, the novel with em- otions. And so that is the way you write.” ‘ “She is four years, younger than I “ Oh really write very little Writing bOUks. is a, luxury. I must earn my living. I am an editor, and the night editm- at that.
