I wonder if nun-.-.a has gone and made a sil.y ri bereelf by taking a young man. Sm . always disliked rid cc.es. fio I suppene •fee's g-t a boy. Heigbo! I wish I had some one to marry nyself." She prnked a little before the glans and then went down into the drawing ■ roccn A hards-'-me yonng man of twee. ; ty-fire arose a* she ent-red He looked rather emt«arrassied and stammered f few ineobwent sen-esx-es. “Beg pardon.

"The love of a son!

"What do you mean?’ “I mean that father couldn’t have chosen a more Mtisfactnry stepmother for me." “Stepmother! Why. I’m to be your atepda tighter.” “What de you take me for?" "Mamma s new husband that is to be." "Are you not Mrs. WardweU*" “I am Miss Julia Wardwell Do I look old enough te be your stepmother'?" "This is very astonishing. I supposed I was calling on father's fiancee." "And I supposed you were my mother'* fiance." “Father wrote me that Mrs Wardwell would arrive in the etty yesterday and. as I was passing through, asked me to call on her." “I have just received a letter from mamma saying that she ha* been delayed.

Her stepfather that was to have been moved closer. “Do you know when our parent* are j to be married?” he asked. “On the Ist of July, mother says Your father has business in England m that month, and they are to sail as •oon as married.” “Very well Well beat them by two I weeks.” “Faiher’s a fOuL" “So is tuotber " i “Tfeey'li quarrel.” Kisses here interfered, and the dialogue became unintelligible. j HARRIET B 7.EE. , f
