between the Montagues, that the 'in-easov.ahle carliness of this visit did not arise from their ignorance of the cu-fr u-s of American society, but from premeditated impertinence. And she regretted still more having invited

them, when Mr Montague with impudent familiarity walked up to the cake (which die had rarely cut into slices" without altering its form) and took one oi them out " Miss Martin," said he, ''your cake look? so inviting that 1 can: ot refrain from helping mvself to a piece. Mrs. Mo dague give me

'pinned down and pinned over. In

sticking in her como she broke it in half and it was long before she could arrange her hair to her satisfaction without it. Before she had completed her toilette, several of the ladies arrived and came into the room, and Al
