And now we pass over a period of more
than eighteen months, and cense to •
time when, wearied out with gayety and
.dissipation, Lottie Steele was almost glad
wiles the first days of Lent came and
pat an end to the parties and receptions
which had so engrossed her time, and
made her grow pale and thin, with dark
ring& aroaad her eyes. But she would
stet mow, or at Wait load a data -set kind
of life, for though she wore her mooed -
best dresses and kept all the fasts and
holy -days. and never bused a sorra*,
whether on Sunday or week day, eke
still had a good deal of leisure time for
quiet. and hoped to come out at Easter
as bright and fresh as the now bonnet
which ab. had in her mitsd for that oc-
casion. Lent was really beneficial. both
se her health and her complexion, she
elassikt, and she kept it religiously, and
affected to be greatly sh. cked when she
heard then Kitty Craig had committed
the enormity of going to the opera,wbere
a wonderful bird of song was entrancing
the people with its melody. Lott!. went

the opera au if the plane* had been riot-

bad promised to sing in four pieces at

What Kitty said to hie when she heard
d it made him doubt a little the pro-
priety of going t.. • hours where his
wifes existence bad never yet been te-
cognized by se much as an inquiry, and
to which she would not in all probability

as he necessarily mutt be if he perfected
himself in the diflicult passages assigned
to him. Womanlike, Lottie understood
him at once, and knew that some bold
move on her part was requisite if she
would not lose him. And she could not
do that ncw. He was fou necessary to
the suxess of her musicale, and with a
mental anathema against the offending
Kitty, she exclaimed :
'Oh, Mr. Craig, you know I cannot do

thought twice before deciding not to
encourage her father's ounfidential clerk.
But it was tau late now. She was
Mrs. Anima Steele, and had coins to all
on John's wife, who, greatly to her
auazemeut, opened the door herself !
Kitty had heard the ring, and not seeing
the stylish turnout in front, and know-
ing that in all human pr,bablity Susan's
hands were in the bred, she went to the
door, expecting to meet either • book
agent or somebody ingtuting if Dr. Jona
lived there, he being her next neighbour,
as she and John both had learned from
suudry °ails at all hours of the day and
night. She was prepared for the agent
and the patient of Dr. Jones, but not
for the 'grand dame' clad ins ielvet and
Russian sable, whose big black eyes
looked their surprise, but who, neverthe-
less, smiled sweetly, and asked in the
blandest of tunes if this were Mrs. Crass.
Lottii s first impulse had been to sup-
pose the lady a servant, and ask for her
mistress, but she bad come fur an object,
and it suited her to be very amiable and
even familiar.
'Soo kind in you t. let me in yourself,'
she said, as ab. followed Kitty into the
little parlour, and then apologized for
not having called before.
She did not say out and out that she
had untended calling, for she would not
tall an absolute lie, but her manner im-
plied as much, and she talked so fast and
made herself so agreeable, that Kitty
began to be drawn towards her in spite
of herself, and when, she praised the new
Wilcox & ORO). sewing machine a*
pxunounoed it "the dearest plaything in
the world,' and then, pound goon
lateen Feeddie, called him a darling and
comptitnetntee hie eyes and his hair, the
conquest was more than half completed.
But when Lottie ventured at last to in-
troduce the musicale, and to ay how
sorry she was that Mrs. Craig had de-
clined coming, and how very badly she
felt Whim Mr. Craig's eres'ie rl there
was a peculiar look in Kitty's eyes which
did not bode sucoeas to Mes. Lottie'a
project Still elm was not disheartened
Her heaviest force was Mill in reserve.
The day was au fine and the air was so
bracing, would not Mrs. Craig like •
drive in the Park i It would do her
rood, and the baby, too. Dear little
fellow, he looked pale, though possibly
that was his natural complexion.
Freddie had not been well for a day or
two, and Kitty had wished that very
morning that she was rich and could
afford a drive, and now that it was so
gracefully offered to her, she hesitated
M first, and then finally accepted, and
almost before she had time to think she
was seated on the satin cushions by Mrs.
Lathe's side, and was rolling over the
level Wads of the beautiful Central Park.
Lottie insisted upon holding Freddie
herself, and was so generally charming
that Kitty was sorry when the carriage
stopped at last at her own door.
Up to that moment nut • word had
been said of the musitxle, but Lottie
hided her time, and just as Kitty was
getting out she laughingly said :
'You do not invite me, but I mean to
go in and see if I cannot coax you to re-
consider your decision with regard to the
musicale after all, and persuade your
husband to sing. You don't know bow
much I am in earnest.'
She followed Kitty into the Louse,and
while her own fingers ledged to disrobe
little Freddie, she wen:

Joke, -trite saw only the flashing eyes
and beaming face, began to descend from
his stilts, and in his deligksat having w
eulogreph letter fur flirty from this
high -burs lady, forgot that in all the two
years and a half of his married life this
was the first time his wife had over been
alluded to.
But Kitty dna not forgot, nor seem as
much elated with Lott*'s autograph note
as John thought she ought to be.
'She was very much obliged to Mn
Steele, she said, 'for the invitation, but
she oould not for a moment think of ac-
cepting it. She should feel out of place
among *0 many strangers.'
And to this decision slot firmly ad-
hered, insisting, however, that her hus-
band should go on with his practice. and
not disappoint Mn. Lottie. But to this
John objected. There was something
anise somewhere, and his better way was
to remain at home with Kitty, and so
the next morning he wrote Mrs. Lottie a
note, saying positively that hs could not
take the parts assigned to him, and
mentioning as a substitute Will Archer,
whose mice was quite as good as his
own, and who read music even better
than himself.
'Will Archer ! That clown in my par-
lours' Never !' was Lot.tie'r indignant
exclamation, as she threw the note aside.
'Cannot spend the time ; Why wasn't
he frank enough to may that that obsti-
nate wife of his world not let him 1 It
all mums of those thoughtless words she
heard me say as the sewing society. She
has never been there since, and I really
was sorry for it.'
'But she don't know that,' Conscience
whispered ; end then Lottie began to
wonder what she could do to secure
John's services
She could not do without him, and to
get him she wee willing even to ask his
wife's pardon, if nece eery, and at all
events she would call the next day and
seobogise, for John's voice she must and
would have at any cost

Kitty's morning work was done. The
little partner, which did duty se sittiag-
rosm and nursery too, was nicely swept
and dusted, and everything was in its
wises. A bright fire was blaming in the
grate. Freddie was asleep in his erib,

Kitty had said that John should sing,
and she did not tind it at all hard to keep
her word. He was fund of music, and
only too glad of au opgxutumoty to serve
Mrs. Lottie, who had been and who con-
tineed to be so very 'tied to Kitty.

and now she had taken up the Craigs she
meant to keep thttu up till after the
musicale at least, and she fmiutdetfy

who did not always keep pertect time or
give the bat expression.
Kitty was going to the musicale. too,
and she began to look forward to it with
a great dal of pleasure. although she
dreaded it somewhat, inasmuch as 'she
had nothing to wear.' All those pretty
silks made at the time of her marriage II
were out of style. The sleeves were too
large, the waists too small, and 'they
had not a bit of a stuck-up behind.' Sus- ,
an said, when she tried them on one
after another to see if they would do.
Only one was at all 'nu fair' in that ro-
spect, and that a plain black silk, which,
having been made over the summer
previous, was nearly enough 'bouffant' in
appearance to suit the fastidious Susan.
'Soma do take a newspaper,' she said,
as she tried to make the overskirt stand
out as far as Mn. titeele's had dons.
'Some do take a newspaper and tie on,
as if you was to do that you'd bunco out
beautiful'
But Kitty declined the newapaper,and '
when the night of t;ma musicale came she
looked very pretty and modest in her
black silk, with her coral enol rel lace,
and John kissed her proudly and told
her she was sure 'to paas muster.' They
were among the first arrivals, and they
found the house ablate with light and
full of flowers, while Lottie herself was
splendid in silk, and lies, and jewels,
and in a high state of excitement. Tbs
la.t rehearsal had been very satisfactory
and she had reason to expect a great
sueoess. But where were the Misses
