She had the waning -room all to herself, at first, for it wes newereble afeernoou towards the beginning of Deoem- ber and moat people who were not driven out of doors by busineee or tecessity, pre - ',nerved to sit at home by their own fireside. Presently an old gentlemen wed in, felieWen by a footmen, who est down EG2 ettormons bundle of rugs on the talWe field withdrew. His master wanted briekly to. wards the fire place, rubbiag his hands with a shiver. Min Kersohoyle moved to one side without raising her eyes, bub ehe was perfectly woolens of the searching glance oat ob her from a under a pair of very bushy eyebrows. "Dean disturb yourself, I beg. There is nieniy of room for me," he remarked polite 1 ly. She only answered with a slight bow'arid a more deoided retrograde movement of her feet. Although he was perfectly silent, and apperently engroused in the endeavour to ' warm himeelf, his close proximity annoyed her, and she was linable to pursue the thread of laer thoughts under his gime°. "What was your mother thinking of bo let you come out alone ?" he asked abruptly, after a long pause. Her eyes flashed resentftilly. "If you knew whab you were talking about, eh, you would know that my mother"—and she said thoae two words with sant a depth of loving pride—" went about for me a great deal longer than she ought. If ehe had not been always so anxious to spare me, she would not be so bad as she is now." "Ah, then she is an invalid: that is an excuse to a certain extent), but it is no reason why she should blaeon your name abroad to every ohance comer." • A hot blush rose to her cheeks. "That is my affair, not years." "Not mine indeed 1 what next ?" in a gruff voice "Only this," she said with a quiet smile, for his impertinence smutted her. "I have been told not to talk to strangers" "As if a child like you could get any harm from a man twice, if not 'thrice your age," with rough contempb. "You needn't be afraid of me, I've had chndren and grandchildren too, and I know how to talk to them by this time." • A pause, during which she leant back In her chair, folded her hands in her lap, and tried to look as if he were not there, • The old gentlemem fidgeted and coughed. He hail never been snubbed before, and he was nob going to stand it from a °hie like thia. Also, he was in the habit of eebtling everybody else's business besides his own, and he felt it necessary once more to explein how shocked he was at any mother allowing a daughter to go about unprotected, so he returned to the charge. ." Do you know if I were your mother, and unable to accompany you, I would rather dress you in a blanket), than let you go shopping without me." "But I have not been shopping," she said quietly. humouring him because he vras so very old. "Worse still if it was simple pleasure." "Pleasure 1" her hp ourled ; "looking for lodgings in all the mna and snow 1" " Lodgings 1" he echoed in surprise, " Christmantime is a bad season to CROOSO for changing quarters." " Bab if there be no choice." "I should stay where I Waffi till they turned me oub." "As they would very goon if you couldn't) pay the renb." She snipped abruptly, her pale cheeks growing pink. "Are rents high in Lsylands?' "r do not see howthe subjeot on interest you," very oold and grave. "Perhaps I am a ledgininkeeper, myself." he said jocularly. The footman came baok at bhe moment, took up the rugs, touched his hat, murmured: "The train, sir," and walked out. "Lodging -keepers carry their own raga," with a quiet glance en the servanb's back. "Ah, go they do, quite right," with an approvhig nod, "I wish you were going by thentimeitrain asmygelf." Whether the wish were reciprocated or not he could not tell, for already ashamed of having talked so much, she only answered with a slight bow. He did not look like a man given to halite, tion, and yet he took two stepd bowards the door, and three steps beak to the fire. "I shoold take it as a favour if you wail& leqme and my man home with you," he %bid almat hunibly. rinSurprise brought a wave of color to her 13 hake.

"Prey throw it into the fire." "Bab if there is a romance in the scorch ed wires?" She turned away impatiently, and taking up her bag, with a slight inolination of her head, walked out on to the platform. The stranger caught up hia umbrella and paper, on i hurrying in front of her, bhrew open the door of a finiteness oarriage, and waited for her to get in. But she shook her head gently. "01 course," he eaid. hastily, It is much pleasanter in the second," And finding an empty carriage of the desired class next door, he handed her in, and took his place in the furthest corner. Anxious not to eeem to thrusb himself upon her, he preserved a rigid silence bill they stopped at Leylande station. The snow was ftshhing fasb, when side by side they reached the outer door, and looked cub into bhe dark MSS. He opened his umbrella, and held it out to her. • "I am afraid it is rather heavy for a lady." " That will nob matter, if you hold it." "Bub I am going to leave ib with you." "Do you think I would take it from you. and leave you without ?'' "Certainly. My coab would keep oub a dozen storms like this.

"You said you were coming my way; and ib would be so awkward with this bag.' "I should like it particularly," he said quiokly ; "but I thought you were anxione to get rid of me." • To thie she vouchsafed no answer, so under the shade of the umbrella they walked down the hill through the snow, amicable but reserved. . "Good-bye, and thank you very mech." • They were standing in front of No. 4, Burlingtorevillas, and in the fulness of Le gratitude, she put out a timid little hand, Shifting the umbrella on to the left oide, he grasped it warmly. "When nexb we meet, may it be under pleasanter auspices," he sa,id slowly. Then he turned round, rung the bell, and lifting his hat in e sweeping bow, he waked off and disappearea round the corner.

A great many fall velvet sleeves are being made up for particularly dressy gowns, evea where no velvet is introduced in the skirto, and only a velvet vest in the coreage. Extravagance holds high revel in ladies' underwear just now. Mrs. Lengtry pays Felix $300 for ooh suib ..)1 underwear. Her petticoats are sad to be ten yards wide, enoordion pleated, end we all knnw what an amount of material can be used up 1 in accordion plembe. No one wears vehite petticoats now, with thin dresses: they are voted countrifie.d. lo fact those who have adopted the drain refotm, drop the petticoat altogether. Their undergarment consists of a snit of tights of ?,,tilk or wool, stoekings and a silk meet. Itt plaoe of the petticoat women have lath and silk fpleatings sewn inside the foundation skirts of their gowns, and the result is the same in appearance, besides the great) cornforb of being able, by one grip of your germane, to life everything over muddy orating, instead of having skirts with a mass of mud on them rubbing against the top of shoes, and stook - Inge as well.

This collar falls to the shoulder -blades at the back with a fall frill ot lace all rated, continuing in a eofe j Abet down the front. The sleeves are wide, with pretty bows of ribbon on the wad. bend. I would rot advise any woman with a scraggy neck to indalge in a garment of this kind, no matter what fashion says; but for those who glory in eoft, roman white throats; nothing can be more exediaitely becoming. Japanese gowne are the correct thinge for she "slumber robe." These are mede of heavy crepe, and are covered with most delicate needlework. They fall in soft], straight folds to the feet, and girded under the arms with a broad sash the 'eams color as the gown, and embroidered witIncolors to match. Ball dritosee are much the same as last season. A. Paris model has tulle eking and velveb bodice. Tulle skirts are very full and jest bouoh the floor; the waist is round with a belt and bunoh of ribbons in front. Tinted tulle la also muoh worn. A combin- ation of pink tulle ekirb wibh vleux rose velvet bodice looked extremely well, with soft bows of ribbon felling on the skirt. •Tan.coloured gloves have been relegated to she shadts. The favourite tints are golden- rod, china pink, and pale heliotrope. V1 hite gloves are nob at ell worn. In coiffures the Cetogan loop or braid is very much adopted by young women. The from] heir ineombed up, and a trio of marabout feathers or a pretty aigrette holds Lb in place. If the hair is worn high, is muse be waved a good deal and ornamented with fanciful pine or jewelled daggers. For young girls a pretty coiffure is the hair simply twisted in a coil that reaches a trifle over the dress collar, with a rose or some leaves or spray of maid en's hair fern caught low at one side. Blondes am wear heavier bangs than brunebtes. The latter ahead wear a small wavy hinge pointed slightly. The novelty of the season is the acoordeon pleated cloak. It is of the peasant pattern, and falls in unbroken pleats from throat to feet. A beautiful cloak is of Spanish net— black or white—for the colouring of the gown beneath oan be seen with good effect. These cloths will be used during the winter season for throwing over ball dreamt which often shed hairs over satin and lath surfaces. Leather is wndely used in trimming dress- es, and dainty little bonnets have kid orowns.

Taking brain at Stroud we arrived at louden Bridge at 7 30; oresshig the bridge we came to Fith Hill and emended the monument. Re then sat doyenne btaatdaat utstenu at Mir teaeher I informed us of the plague of Leaden and the fire whioh terminated at this spot. From this elevation we could trace the windings of the Thames beyond the bridges vie, Pun ney, Richmond, Hampton Court on the north, and to the 'death beyond Millwall and Blackwell. Descending we walked along King Milli= street and mime to the Mansion House, the residence of the Lard Mayor, the Beek of England and the Royal Ex. °tinge, with its statues of Enz thebb, Charles, Victoria and Wellington. What is the meaning of the grasshopper on the vane? A lady and child found a lone babe in the fisld, left there to die, the babe was oared for and became Sir Thomas Geaharn, who built the Royal Exchange, hence the grass hopper vane and oonapicaously on a bleak of stone is out the word; "The Eterth is this Lerdn and the Fullness Thereof." Passing the ILW Church of the Cooknoy we arrive at SO. Paul's Cathedra, we enter and stand under the centre c i. the dome and immediate- ly over the bodies of Nelson and Wellington who divide the post of honor between them. We walk around silently, admiring the statues of mighty men, Cornwallis, Howard and other warriors and philanthopiets, but we see the chorister bin s sesembling for morning service to which we have no time to remain, therefore hastening through the forest of books in Peternoster Row and Ave Maria Lein' to the meat market of Newgate ansi the old Bally House, we are shown the door through which murderers pass up to the scaffold to end their days. Happily this Is done away with now, as is also the meat markeb, which is re• moved to the memorable Smithfield. Down Ludgate Hill and the. Strand, past Exeter Hall, we arrive at Charing Cron.

Here we are refreshed with cakes and milk. Then through the Horse Gardens, pat the Atimiralty, Scotland Yard and the Treaties', a short cub through Downing Sb. where our Cabinet Ministers assemble, up to Westmin- ster. here we see the Houses of Paliainent, the Victoria Tower, on the top of which flies a flag 60 x 40 on a staff three feet in dia- meter at the bate, Se. Marguerite's Church, Westminster Abbey and Hall, then Mato soleum of Kings and Poets. At the bridge we took a boat and steamed Seuthward, leaving Lambeth we pass under Hungertord, Waterford, Iltakfriars, Southwark to Lon. don bridge. Then wevisit the Fish Market at Billingegate, along Thames St., arriving at the Tower in time to see a Royal Saute fired, here we etould spend a long time seeing England's Regalia, the dangeona where tho two Princes were smothered by order of their Uncle Richard, the spot where fell the heads of Dadiey and Lady Jane Grey, but we heeten for a rush into and through the Thames Tunnel and back agaiu to take train on the Blackwell Railway for the West India Docks and the East India Road. We were taken to our teacher's mother's house, here we had a good wall and sat down to tea, a goodly dozen of us, the sister of our teacher presiding at the table. We shall nob forget' Annie for a long time. We then entered the Easb Judie import and passed through the Export Deck, coming out on the Brunswick Piers. Here we again embarked in a steam terry for Greenwith where we vreited the college for pensioned seamen, the school for young Romeo with its ship built on staves, the Painted Hell in vehicle is preserved tbe comb worn by Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, in the Park we saw the trained deer, at the Observatory we were instructed as to the Centre of Longitude.
