CROSS PURPOSES.

his companion an animated account of the
French, plays going on at one of the theatres
just then-which,she had not yet been to
see -and describing with great warmth the
graceful. and finished acting of charming
madame Andre& when he was suddenly
aware of IsiettyKingpassitegolose liaidehim..
Patty was walking at her 'chaperon's side;
with her head erect, and her white parasol,
with its Pink lining; held well back over
her shoulder, a vision of • loveliness in her
diaphanous dress. He caught his breath at
sight of her, looking so different fr•om her
ordinary self, and was about to.raise hishat,
,when--to.his deep dismay and surprise-
she swept haughtily past him, meeting his
eyes fairly, with a cold disdain, but making
no sign of recognition. ,
The blood rushed into his face, and he set
his teeth, , and walked on silently,' mit see-
ing,where he went For a moment he felt
stunned' with the shock. Then he was
brought to himself by a harsh laugh from
, '
Mrs .Aarons. " Dear men," ' said she, in a
high ,tone, "the Miss Kings have become
so grand that we are beneath their notice.
You and • I are not good enotigh for them
now, Mn Brion. We must hide our dimin-

"1 see," he assented, with savage quiet
nese, " Very well. I am quite ready 'to

for what she had clone. At the first sight

themselves. ,
Mrs: Duif-Scott sailed into the hall, with
her girls around her, and many eyes were
turned to look at them and to. watch ' their
progress to their seats. By this time "the
P ratty Miss Kings" had become well
known anmuch talked'. about • and the

g e younger girls, wi

and coiled high at the back of their heads,
wore picturesque flowered gowns of blue
and white stuff, while the elder sista, was
characteristially dignified in - black. And
the gentlemen in attendance upon 'them.
, were Mr. Westmoreland, still . devoted to
Eleanor, and the portly widower whom
Mrs. Duff -Scott had intended for Elizabeth,
but who was perversely addicted to Patty.
The little party took their places • in the

gallery, and seated. themselves in,two,, rows

of three -the Widower behind M.' Duff-

when the concert began there was an empty

details of his neighbor's appearance, and
she took no time to ascertain that helooked
particularly handsome in his evening dress
(but she always thought him handsome;:schools

all), andthat his well -cut coat and trousers
were not in . their first freshness. Then the
concert went . on as before -but not as
before -and they sat side ,by side and lis-
tened. Elizabeth's progranune lay on her
knee, and he took it up to study, it, and laid
it lightly onher knee again. Presently she
pointed to one and another of the selections
on the list, about which she had her own
strong musical feelings, and he looked down
at them and nodded, understanding .what
she meant. And 'again they sat 'back in
their chairs and gazed serenely at the stage

' CHAPTER XXIV.of
AN, OLD STORY.
Mrs. Duff -Scott's drawing -room, at 9 or
10 o'clock on Friday evening, was a pleasant
sight. Very spacious, very voluptuous, in
a subdued, high-toned way ; • Very
dim -with splashes of richness -as to Walls
and eeilings ; -very glowing and splendid-
win -of
with folds of velvety darkness -as to n-
dow curtains and portieres. The coloring
• of it was such as required a strong light to
show how beautiful it was, but with a proud
to k itsunostentatious
reserve, an mar
superiority over the glittering salons of the
uneducated nouveaux riches, it was always
more orless in a warm and mellow twilight,
veilingits sombre magnificence from the
vulgar eye. Just now its main compart-
ment was lit by wax candles in archaic
candlesticks,amongst the flowers and bric-a-
brae of an etctgere over the mantlepiece, and
by seven shaded and colored lamps,, of
various axtistic devices, judiciously distri-
buted over the abundant table -space so as to
suffuse with a aoftillunainationtheoccupants
ofmost of the wonderfullystuffed and rotund.
chairs and Tounges grouped about the fioor .;
and yet the side of the room was decidedly
bad for reading in. "It does not light up
well," was the consolation of warren of
Mrs. Duff -Scott's acquaintance,' Who still
clung to pale walls and primary colors and
cut -glass chandeliers, either from necessity
or choice. "Pooh 1" Mrs. Duff-Seott used
to retort, hearing of this just criticism;.
"as if I wanted' it to light up 1" But she
had compromised with principles in the
arrangement of the smaller division of the
room where between and beyond a pair of
, 3 .
vaguely tinted portieres, stood the ,piano,
an d aother matil appliances for ht-
eraappncheig
ening the spiritual enjoyment of musical
people. Here she had grudgingly retained
the gas -burner of utilitarian. Philistinism.
It hung down from the ceiling straight over
the piano, a circlet of gaudy yellow flames
that made the facci of every plaque upon, the
wall to glitter. But the brilliant corona
was borne in no gas -fitter's vehicle; its
.sold
shrine was of dull brass, medheval and :
precious, said to have been manufactured,
in the first instance, for either papal or im-
perial purposes -it didn't nuttter which.

The Russian Czarina.
People usually sympathize with the
Czarina of Russia, considering her a frail
little woman, always dreading the explosion
of a bomb; but; contrary to public opinion,
Her Majesty is the bright star of Russian
society, the leader of fashion and the
helper of the poor; and it is a noted saying
that Dag,maa• is the happiest wife in Bt.
Petersburg, as _ the Czar, unlike his subjects,
is 'a most devoted husband. If any one
needs sympathy it is the Princess of Wales,
and not her sister, the Czarina. Although
the Princess is supposed to pass a serene
existence, yet her life is very unhappy,
constantly fearing the developments of new
scandal with either her son or husband as
,the hero.
