said he, clearing his throat and pulling at
his collar. "Try this garden chair. What ;

ring and let Mrs. Denver know that you ;
are here?"
"Pray do not trouble, admiral. I only
looked in with reference to our little chat 1
this morning. I wish that you would
give lis your powerful support at our 1
coming meeting for the improvement of
the condition of woman."
"No, ma'am. I can't do that," He ;

head.
"And why not?"
"Against my principles, ma'am."
"Dot wh)'?"
"Because woman has her duties, and
man has his. I may be old fashioned,
but that is lily view. Why, what is the
world coining to? I was saying to Dr. -
Walker only last night that we shall
have a woman wanting to command the
Channel fleet next."
"That is one of the few professions
which cannot be improved," said Mrs.
Westmacott, with her sweetest smile. •
"Poor woman must still look to man for
protection."
"I don't like those new tangled ideas,
ma'am. I tell you honestly that I don't.

Ida gave a little pout and shrug to her
shoulders. "The solicitor general then
opened the case for the prosecution,"said
she. "You are going to cross examine
me, Clara, so don't deny it. I do wish
you would have that gray satin foulard
of yours done up. With a little trim-
ming and a 'new white vest it would
look as good as new, and it is really very
dowdy."
"You were quite late upon the lawn,"
said the inexorable Clara.
"Yes I was, rather. So were you.
Have you anything to tell me?" She
broke away into her merry, musical
laugh.
"I was chatting with Mr. Westma-
cott."
"And I was chatting with Mr. Denver.
By the way, Clara, now tell me truly,
what do you think of Mr. Denver? Do
you like llim? Honestly nowt"
"I like him very much indeed. I
think
that he is ono of the most gentlemanly,
modest, manly young men that I have
ever known. So now, dear, have you
nothing to tell me?" Clara smoothed
down her sister's golden hair with a
motherly gesture and stooped her face to
catch the expected confidence. She could
wish nothing better than that Ida should
be the wife of Harold Denver, and from
