with intent to claim her hand in the giddy wait. I found her sitting in a
corner with a doaen youtniui tianuiee
in pumps ami frizzes about her. She was queening it with a right good will, and there wasn't a female creature within twenty feet of her. She had

when a tremendoue rattling and rushing was heard, a swishing of silk draperiea, a clanking of spurs and swords, and, tearing headlong down the length of the wide crimson-carpeted staircase with the flowering camellia trees either skle, came a lovely, graceful girl, dragging a long, dark-blue train after her. Ske was covered witk jot ornamenta that made a noise as of falling hailstone. Her beautiful face waa shaded by a cavalier's hat, with long, drooping, dark-
blue plumes. It was Pussy Black. She took her stairs aa rapidly aa of old.
Behind her skipped one of those su-

the part of a hungry, fortune-hunting hawk.

ami the littla dancing ackoolboys were sent about their business. We danced
and flirted, and pulled those snapping-

mottoes and even pledged each other in champagne. I hinted to Miss Fusey that I should like to make tke acquaintance of her mother in order to be able to call upon herself. Fuswy

tke finest box of sugar plums that tho city of tho golden gate could supply. Following so closely on the heels of a

But observation had convinced mo that Mies Pussy had the stomach of an ectrich, and I waa certain tkat aha waa the sort of a child to come up smiling after every round of awoetatuK Sight yaara passed before I again saw Fuesy. I waa at Rome. I oame up from Naples and went to a hotelpension behind tho Pantheon, which waa a famous resort for genteel widows and spinsters who were passing their declining winter daya at the Eternal City. At my first dinner I counted no lees than twenty women of uncertain age, sandwiched In among forlorn young girls and sickly men. Tho blaek looks that were east upon ma by three British spinster who sat opposite to me did not improve nay appetite. They nil wore toiled white knitted shawls and wrangled among themselvea ea the anhfeetof eknroh areMteetwe. At my left waa an Amer-
of Rome, and do ao
Eternal City so attractive to American young women. He waa a handsome youth, and with his long, black and vellow lera. his shining accoutrements
and hit neatly corseted figure, be re
minded one of the brilliant dragon-ny hovering over an exquite flower. Pussy greeted'me cordially, and waa
extremely sorry that au engagement
for a walk with Count Castelnuovo, whom ske presented to me, woukl pre
vent her remaining at home that afternoon; but her mamma she no longer said "ma" waa up-staira, and would be charmed to see me. Then she
lanced off into the sunlleht, under
the arched doorway, accompanied by
her count, and all the gentlomen oame
out of the reading-room with their
Oalignmi and Tim in their hands to mm the nrettv American rirl whiek
herself into the street.
The Blacks had been presented at thn Onlrinal. and went to all the court

Ptieev bellina, aa indeed she was, and
Oueen Marguerite had smiled gracious

ker train a large numuer oi young
lielnntrinsr to the Russian, Italian

can men who represented "society"
at Rome that winter rather sneered at
hr. Some Xnrlishman residing in
the eltv considered her "a very old

picking them up, "this engagement
