The world was all thrilling with new life, the green leaves were springing on the trees, the hedges pisk and white with hawthorn, the violets nestling In the fields, the primroses growâ€" Ing in great golden clusters at the loot of the trees; the air was {ragrant with the odor of a thouâ€" sand aweet flowers, all nat\re A beautiful costume of â€" white muslia, rich lace, and blue ribbons was provided, with a wonderful litâ€" tle hat that seemed to be nrade of leathers; and Violet decided that she bhad never looked so well beâ€" fore. _ She pictured to hersel{ an easy sovereigaty. Eve Lester was the caly one she feared; but then Eve was never given to dress and Tflirtition,. Nor had beautiful Violet Haye beer unmindful of the coming fete. Her father had looked grave over the milliner‘s bill when it was given to him; but Violet had deâ€" termined on being queen of the fete. Mrs. Brownson, Mrs. Bauldâ€" erm aod Miss Stanley would cerâ€" tainly be there, perhaps even Lady Rolfe, and â€" she must be dressed suitable to meet ‘those potentates. o Felix received an invitation. If he had known how and why it was given to him he would have placed it tunder his heel and have gone twenty miles in an opposite direction; as it was, it gave him ar unbourded pleasure. He was to meet Violet; he would spend the whole day with her; he would see her beautiful and admired, yet with the proud coasciousness that she was hisâ€"all hisâ€"his promised wife; and when the reached that point. In his reflections he rememâ€" bered how she had raised her face to his with the laughing words, "I have not quite promised," still, that meaat nothing; there was uo troth so sure as Violet‘s, The prospect of that one day to be spend with her delighted him. He sat np the greater part of the gfight, so that by his unusual holiâ€" day business might not suffer. It seemed to him the time would never come whes *s would meet YViolet. "I shall do it against my will," reâ€" marked the vicar. ‘"Well, that is far better than not doing It at all," replicd Mrs. Hunâ€" ter. "It will ba a kind of test ; if we see that people seem shy of Felix Lonsdale, we must not ask him again." *"‘There is another thing," said the diplomatic lady ; "we must ask Vioâ€" let Haye, She is, in truth, the greatâ€" ost attraction we shall have to ofâ€" fer, and, as they are lovers, I do not see how they can be parted on such an occasion." "You might as well try to distinâ€" guish between hbusband and wife as between father and son," rejoined the vicar. "Against the father, Daniel, but not the son," corrected his wife. "Where is a black mark agairst the whole . _ family," said the vicar, who forgot at times that hisa Gospe!, was the Gospel of Peace, and thought more of justice than of mercy, "I do not say that Darey Lonsdale was guilty of that which was laid to his charge, but there is a mark against him." He had already attended one or two meetings of different kinds at Lilford, and ‘he received an iavitaâ€" tion from Dr. IHunter, the vicar, to attent the annual festival of the school childrea, held always in the month of May. At first he had throwa it contemptrously _ aside. What had he, the sporting baronet, as he liked to hear himself called, to do with school childrea ? He seat a cheque which caused the good vicar to opea his eyes. Then, some one having told him that all the elite of the neighborhood atâ€" tended the fete, he went. In a field near the vicarage the school children played to their hearts‘ content, while in the vicarâ€" age grounads the elite enjoyed themâ€" selves in gueer fashion. The miliâ€" tary band from Oldstone was there, pretty white tents were erected;‘ there were croquet anad lawn tenâ€" nis, quadrilles for those who liked dancing, and archery for those’ who enjoyed shoting. Sir â€" Owen Chevenix, having heard that all the preity girls in the neighborhood would be there, decided on going himself. No one but Dr. and Mrs. Huater knew of his intention, and they had kept it a secret, intendâ€" log to surprise their guests. Asa matter of course ,beautiful Violet Haye was to be there.
