She was a charming little thing in appearance. She had the lightest straw-colored hafr, which tossed in small fuzzy ringlets above her fore­ head; eyes as blue as the speedwell, and bright flushing cheeks. The im­ pression she gave me was of attract­ ive youth and surface prettiness, which no one attempted to define with more severe accuracy. Fluffy had her orthodox list of schoolgirl accomplishments. Her little lingers touched tbe fceys of the piano as lightly and as vaguely'as a butterfly Hits from Hower to llower, and with as little apparent purpose.

But tell me, Mr. Treshan., in wbat costume shall I go?" Tresham pondered gravely over this momentous question for some time; then an inspiration came. "If I were .vvii. 1 should go as *snow.' Something soft and feaihery would be sure to suit you," he said. "Don't you think, then, said Fluf­ fy, raising Her big blue eyes with un­ expected roguishness, "that It would be much more in character to go as a goose?" Later in the evening Fluffy played to us The piano was near the .win­ dow. and her slight figure was darkly silhouted against a background flooded with rich yet softened light, which made a halo of the fine small curls round her head, it was a pret­ ty picture, and doubtless helped to soften Tresham'sr fastidious criticism, although 1 saw him make an invol­ untary grimace.

He interrupted me with a sort of scornful impatience. "Know.-' of course she knows! Do you remember my asking you if Fluffy could ever assert herself? Well, shq has answered the question for me." "You don't mean to say,** I said slowly, in utter astonishment," that she has refused you?" "You put ic correctly, my friend," he answered with the Same bitter im­ patience in his tone. "That is pre­ cisely whathas happened. Fluffy in­ forms fue that our characters are not suited to one another; she is not my affinity, in short, and nothing I can say will alter her opinion." "But she cares for you?" I said, mystified by the turn of affaira. "She can't care for me," he an­ swered roughly. I stood thinking it nll over for a few minutes, and then courageously went oyer to the enemj. "I believe Fluffy is right," I said, **and 1 am astonished at her penetra­ tion and ^decision.

The failure was the more balking because it was so difficult to define exactly where it lay. We all laughed at Fluffy and liked her. it was through me that she was introduced to my circle of friends in Rome. My knowledge of Fluffy's father .dated back to prehistoric times: ours was (he conservative friendship of old acquaintanceship; otherwise there was so little that was congenial to our tastes--he, a wealthy merchants who had rushed through business and now rushed through pleasure; I, an indolent art dabbler, who hardly cared to stir from the pleasant nooK of my tsunny studio--that we should never have attracted one another. As it was. when he and Fluffy, in their mad career through Europe, arrived at Borne, 1 was the first person to whom he presented himself and his daugh­ ter. They had settled themselves in a hotel exactly opposite my studio, and were evidently determined to "do" Home or die. 1 recollect tbe alarm with which I contemplated the uiany calls upon mj time and patience which would be the inevita­ ble consequence. 1 poured my woes into the sympa­ thetic ears of one of my artist friends, elty from his lips. Hitherto he had sedulously cultivated the society of those whom he now affected to de­ spise. ••Tresham," I exclaimed, "you are clearly bewitched! I must congratu­ late Fluffy on your conversion. You are an eloquent apostle of insipi­ dity." her hair was tumbled in wild disor­ der, and a more doleful face I never saw. * j "Why, Fluffy, what is all this?" 1 I said in my most fatherly manner, taking her hand. "I thought you cared for Tresham." "And so--80 I do," She said, toe- Sinning to cry afresh. "Then what is the meaning of it'w I asked. "I knew,'? she said, "that really at the bottom of his heart there was just a little contempt for me. Of course he liked me: I amused, him. I suppose he had got tired of grand, learned ladies, and 1 was a change, Letesttr ABSOLUTELY PURE ' Holmes' Witticism*, When thd late Dr. Holmes was at a dinner party once in England, Mrs. Siddon-* was being discussed. Some one said that the statesman Fox had been smitten by tne great actress. Holmes said that from ali he had heard of her he could net understand a man falling in love with her. She was too grand: it was like falling in love with the pyramids.

He soon took his leave. ft or some days I saw little of either Tresham or Huffy; but I have good good reason to believe that they saw a good deal of each other. Tresham took a quite unprecedented amount of trouble to ingratiate himself with both father and daughter; and they were only too glad that he should constitute himself their guide. He knew every inch of Rome, and quite awed Fluffy by the amount of infor* mation be had at his command. "Mr. Tresham is so alarmingly weli-informed." she said rather wist­ fully to me one day: "he knows a great deal, ana I only halt know a very little. He has such a clear brain; all his facts, and his ideas about them are engraved in firm de­ nned lines. He can always seize hold of what he knows; while I--I am a woolly-headed little thing, I'm afraid!" She shook her head ac me, and laughed as she spoke, while all tbe pretty fluffy curls danced as though la corrobation of the fact. "My mind is always in the twilight; I can hardly tell whether I possess an idea or not, it is all so indistinct." "Well, Fluffy," I said, 4,you are developing quite a remarkable vein would have been unsatisfied. And then--" she looked up with a sobbing, hysterical laugh-- "you must not think me selfish over it I shouldn't have been happy either, I should al­ ways have been trying to walk on stilts, and I should only have turnoled. 1 can't be clever when I try: it worries me and makes my bead ache. And so it is very much better for us both that we should have tbe courage to be a little un­ happy now, rather than be rnoro! un­ happy afterwards. Oh, I know he is thwarted and mortified, but he will be easily cured. And as for me, I can't cry for very long together--1 haven't character enough to make a tragedy." She stopped and looked at me with such a pminr.ive, quivering mouth that 1 stooped and kissed her. ••Indeed, Fluffy," said i, "I think you have a great deal of character." IS^verl* _ . ;3_.

He was sufficiently aware of his value, but his conceit was of so subtle a nature and so hidden by the charm of his manner, that it would have been forgiven in tbe moment of discovery, even if it had not been more than counterbalanced by a very real gsnerosity and innate goodness of disposition. The worst charge ever brought against Tresham was that intellectu­ ally he was something of a snob. He wascertaiqly exclusive in his choice cf acquaintances as a rule; so that, even though i suspected him of hav­ ing caught sight of my visitors of the day before, 1 was tolerably taken by surprise when he said carelessly, -- "If you introduce me to these people,* I dare say 1 may be able to 6ave you the annoyance in some de­ gree I'm sadly lazy this warm weathe?, and i'm on tbe lookout for a legitimate excuse to be idle." I was only too delighted to shift the responsibility onto other shoul­ ders; aud the introduction took pluce in my rooms tbe following evening, I was forced to admit Fluffy's charm --the charm of quick dimpling smiles and flitting blushes--as she entered the room in her white and pink gown. There was something sug­ gestive of springtime about her, something fresh and young and un­ formed, which seemed to render Her very shortcomings natural and ine­ vitable, while It constituted an unconscious appeal for tenderness and tolerance. Tresham became more affable and condescending than I ever remem­ bered him. He was consciously let­ ting himself down to her level uf talk; but it amused and pleaded him to do so; and she was chatting to him with the freedom and inconse­ quence of a child. In the intervals of her father's ponderous conver. a- tion--of which 1 was left to bear the entire weight--I caught fragments of their more frivolous talk. Tresh­ am, who hated dancing, was, I found, endeavoring to persuade Fluffy into going to a fancy dress ball, which he had anathematized to me In round terms. ' Oh! I should love to go. 1 must go?' cr|ed Fluffy, clasping her bands in naive excitement. "I have never b^en--that is, I mean I have been to , ah ordinary ball, but never to one in fancy dresa It must be so--so ro­ mantic:" We mjjstaee if we cannot propiti­ ate the ruling pdwers," Tresham an­ swered, smiling benevolently.

I never could really satisfy anyone who was clever for long." She was so simple that she did not know her own transparency. I was conscious of a sudden sharp pang of compunction at seeing her bright face over-clouded even for a moment, and of something like fear at my heart, as I reflected that if it was true, as she said, that she was a "woolly-headed little thing," it was also true that nature had gifted her with wonderfully clear and truth­ ful instincts where her heart was concerned. Meanwhile I was puzzled by Tres- ham's behavior. It was not dirt.cult to divine that he was fast falling in love, or fancyiog himself in love, with this little creature who was so dir.erent from his former ideal of wo­ man. Now and then he appeared to at­ tempt a futile resistance to his feel­ ing for her. but ft was half-hearted and unsuccessful With all his vaunted intel igence he had not enough penetration into character or keenness of vision to teach him that ultimate happiness could only depend upon the ready response of mind to mind, and soul to soul: or, what seemed more likely, he was willfully blind, and had not the strength of mind to sacrifice to the future the need of the moment But one moming a strange event happened. I wab sitting at the open window of my studio, overlooking tbe terrace gardens below, ablaze with flowers whose vivid tints showed their brightest in the clear, hot sun­ shine From a neighboring balcony a parrot screeched, while 1 lazily ma­ tured some scheme of vengeance with as much animus as the drowsy heat would permit, a shadow crossed my open doorway, it was Tresham's. His expression was so peculiar--a curious mixture of distress and mortification, with a hidden, shame­ faced undercurrent of relief, or so I fancied--that 1 knew in a moment j that something had happened, though i What, I was at a loss to conjecture. | "I am leaving Eome for a bit," he said abruptly. "I thought I'd come in and say good-by to you." I was so startled by his manner that -I could only gasp,-- "It's rather sudden, isn't it?" "Yes," he said grimly, "It's sud­ den." Then we stood awkwardly silent for some minutes. ^ N ,Pf ' ^ \ J*. l „ .. ' * Russian Justice. G©n.

Eight girls, in 1813, drowned themselves rather than marry. Sometimes they, like the daughters of Danaus aud the Bride or Lanimermoor, prefer to kill their young men. But as a matter of fact, these cases seem to be the exception and in novels married people live even rapturously together. This is the ideal. Fond wives slay them­ selves rather than survive their lords. in tbe poor districts girls are drowned as "bouches in utiles."
