It 4; eleven o'clock, and the ball is well begun; the music grows sweeter, fainter; fans- are waving gently. Down at the cottage a girl is stand- ing in a white gown at one of the open. windows, andis gazing eagerly, and with sad, straining eyes, at certain_ lights that, two miles away, can be seen distinctly through 'the haze of the summer 'night. Yes, he is there, of course, and happy regardless of everything but the moment. It is most natural, is it not? What is there else for hila to think of ? She herself, how clearly shewould like to be there, too! She glances at her' beam and tells herself that almost she night have gone— and 'then she shrinks within herself, and refuses to confess, even to her own heart, that it would have been agony, to her to have appeared badly dressed before—before—oh!> many people!
