INDIAN SUMMER.
IL
(Continued from last week.) • .
"This is my little Effie," said Mrs.
Bovir_en, after a moment : and now the
child, hitherto keepingherself discreetly
in the background, came forward and
promptly gave her hand to Colville'who
r4etteed that she was not so small as
Tie had thought her at first, an effect of
—infancy had possibly been studied in the
brevity of her skirts and the immaturity
of her corsage, but both were in good
taste, and really to the advantage of her
young !figure. There was reason and
justice, in her being dressed as she was,
for She was really not so old as she look-
ed by two or three years; and there was
reassm in Mrs. Bowen's carrying in the
hollow of her left arm the India shawl
secure she had taken off and hung there;
the deep cherry silk lining gave life to
the sombre tints prevailing in her dress,
whieh its removal left free to express all
the grace of her extremely lady like per-
son. 1 Lady -like was the word for Mrs.
Boseen throughout—for the turn of her
' head, the management of her arm from
theIbow, the curve of her hand from
wrist to finger-tips, the ,smile, subdued,
but sufficiently sweet, playing about her
little mouth, , which was yet not too
little, and the refined and indefinite per-
ftinte which exhaled from the ensemble
of her silks, her laces, and her gloves,
like an odorous version of that otherwise
impalpable quality which women call
style. She had, with all her ini3exibili-
ty, a certain charming stiffiiess, like the
stiffness of a very tall feather. •
And have you. been here a great
while9" she asked, turning her head
slowly toward Colville, and looking at
him with a little difficulty she had in
raising her eyelids; when she "WAS young-
er the glance that shyly stolefrom under
the .covert of their lashes was like a
gleam of sunshine, and it was still like a
&ant of paler sunshine.
Colville, ss,hose mood was very sus-
ceptible to the weather, brightened in
the ray. "1 only arrived last night,"
he said, with a smile.
" How glad you must be to get back!
Did you ever see Florence more beauti-
ful than it was this morning ?"
"Not for years," said Colville, with
another smile for her pretty enthusiasm.
"Nt4 for seventeen years at the least
calculation."
" la it sor many?" cried Mrs. Bowen,
witlelovely dismay. "Yes, it is," she
sighed, and she did not speak for an ap-
preciable interval.
Be knew that she was thinking of
that •old lave allair of his, to which she
was privy in some degree, though he
never coulct tell haw much; and when
she spoke he perceived that she purpose-
ly avoided speaking of a certain person,
who a woman or more tact or of less
wordd have insisted upon naming at
once.1 e" I never can believe hi the lapse
of tine when I get back to Italy, it
always makes me feel as young as when
I left it last"
"-/ could imagine you'd never Ieft
said 'Col -sine.
Mrs. Bowen reflected a moment. Is
that a compliment ?"
"1 had an obscure intention of saying
something fine; but I don't think I've
quite made it out," he owned.
Mrs. Bowen gave. her small, sweet
smile. "It was very nice of you to try.
But I haven't really been away for some
time'; I've taken a house in Florence,
and ,I've been here two years. Palazzo
Pinti Lung Arno della Zecca. You
raust come and see me. Thursdays from
fear till six."
"Thank you," said Colville.
,afraid," said Mrs. Bowen, re-
• motely preparing to offer her hand in
adieu; "that Effie and I broke in upon
soine very important cogitations of
yours." ,She shifted the silken burden
a her arm a little, and the child stirred
fromi the eorrect pose she had been keep-
ing, and smiled politely.
I don't thinkk, they deserve a real
clictianary word like that," said Colville.
" I was simply mooning. If there was
anything definite in my mind, I as
wishing that I was looking down on the
Wabash in Des Welles, instead of the
Arno in Florence."
'And 1 supposed you must be
indulging all sorts of historical .associa-
tions with the place. Effie and I have
been -walking through the Via de' Bardi,
where` Romolo. Iived, and I was bringing
her back over the Ponto Vecchio, so as
to impress the origin of FlorenCe on her
Is that what makes Miss Effie hate
it ?" :asked Colville, looking at the child,
whose yonthful resemblance to her
mother was in all things so perfeet that
a fantastic question whether the could
ever have had any other parent swept
through him. - Certainly, if Mrs. Bow-
en were to marry again, there was noth-
ing in this child's looks to suggest the
idea of a predecessor to the second hue-
- ban&
4 4 Effie doesn't hate any sort of useful
knowledge'," said her mother; half jest-
• ingly. "She's jsist come to me from
school at Vevey."
, "Oh, then, I think she might," per-
, sisted. Colville. "Don't you hate the
origin of Florence a little ?" he asked of
the 4hild.
"1 don't know enough about it," she
answered, with, a quiek look of question
at her mother, and checking herself in a
possibly indiscreet smile.
"Ah, that accounts for it," said Col-
ville, and he laughed. It amused him
to she the child referring even this point
of propriety to her mother, and his
thoughts idled off to what Mrs. Bowen's
OWn untrammelled girlhood must have
been in her Western city. For her
.daughter there were to be no buggy
rides or concerts or dances at the invita-
tion of young men; no picnics, free and
unchaperoned as the casing air ; no sit-
ting on the steps at dusk with callers
svha never dreamed. of asking for her
mo-ther; no lingering at the gate with -
her youthful escort home from the ball
—nothing of that wild, sweet liberty
which once made American girlhood a
long rapture. But would she be any the
better for her privations, for referring
not; only every point of conduct, but
every thought and feeling, to her mo-
ther:! He suppressed a sigh for the in-
evitable change, but rejoiced that his
own youth had fallen in the earlier thne,
and said, "You --will hate it as soon as
you've read a little of it." •
"he difficulty is to read a little of
Florentine history. I can't find Anything
in less than terivr twelve volumes," said
Mrs! Bowen. "Effie and I were going
to Vieeseux's Library again, in despera-
tion, to see if there wasn't something
shorter in French."
She new offered Colville her hand
and and he found himself very rel dant
te let it go. Something in her loo
npt forbid him, and when she k her
j
s did
-
-handiaway, he , said, .4-4 Let me ,go to
Vie.sseux with -you • 'kis. Bowen, and
give you the as-ant:1g, of my unpreju-
diced ignorance in the choice of abook
on Florence." -
"Oh, T was longing to ask you !," said
Mrs. Bowen, frankly. "It is really
such a serious rnatter, especially .when
the book is for a young person. Ijnless
it's very• dry, it's so apt to be—objec-
tionable." •
- "Yes," said Colville, with a striae at
her perplexity. He Moved off down the
slope of the bridge with her; between
the jewellers" thops, and felt a singular
satisfaction in her company. Women of
fashion always interested him • he liked
them ; it diverted him that they should
take themselves seriously. Their reso-
lution, their suffering for .their ideal,
such as it Was, their energy in dressing
and adorning themselves, the pains they
wereat to achieve the :trivialities they
passed their lives in, were perpetually
delightful to -him. He often found -them
people of great simplicity, and ozne-
times of singularly good sense ;' their
frequent vein of piety was delicious.
' Ten minutes earlier, he would have
i,
-said that nothing could have bee . less
welcome to him than this encounter, but
now he felt unwilling to leave Mrs.
Bowen. , •
"Go before, Effie," she said; and she
added, to Colville, "How very Floren-
tine all this .is ! If you dreppe from
the clouds on this spot -Without previ-
ous warning, yeti would know that you
were on the Ponte Vecthio, and no here
else." ,
" Yes, it's very Florentine," C lville
assented. "The bridge is very w11 as
a bridge, but as a street I pref r the
Main Street Bridge at Des Va.ches. I
was looking at the jewelryebefot you
came up, and. I don't think it's p etty,
even the old pieces of peasant jewelry.
Why do people Come here to look at it.?
•If you Were going to buy something for
a friend, would you dream of coming
herd for it ?" - 1
" Oh, no l" replied Mrs. Bowen, with
the deepest feeling. .
They quitted the bridge, and turning
to the left, moved down the street, which
with difficulty finds space between the
parapet of the river and the shops of the
mosaicists and dealers in statuary cramp-
ing it on the other hand. .
"Here's something distinctively1Flor-
entitle too," said Colville. These table-
tops'and paper -weights, 8,nd caSkets,
and photograph frames, peed lockets, and
breast -pins; and here, .this ghostlyglare
of undef-sizedo Psyches and Hebes and
Graces in alabaster." ,
Oh, you mustn't think of any of
them !" Mrs. toiven broke in, with hor-
ror. "If your friend wishes youtoget
her something characteristically Floren-
tine, and at the same time very tasteful,
you must go—?' - -
Colville gave a melancholy laugh.
" My friend is an abstraction, Mrs.
Bowen, without sex or any sort of
entity." • . 1 :
"Oh I" said Mrs. Bowen. Some fine
drops had begun to sprinkle the pave-
ment.- " What a ridiculous bl der !
It's raining ! Effie, I'm afraid, we must
give up your book for to -day. Ve're
not dressed for damp weather, an _we'd
better hurry home as Soon as poss ble."
-She got promptly into - the shelte' - of a
doorway, and gathered her clangh er to
her, while she flung her sacque over
her shoulder, and caught her dra • eries
from the ground for the next i ove-
inent. "Mr. Colville, will you ilease
stop the first closed carriage that omes ._
in sight?" .. .
1 .
A figure of primo tenore had wi ness-
ed the mancetivre from the box f his
cab ; he held up his whip, and at a
nod from Colville lie drove abre ist of
the doorway his broken -kneed, t rnu-
toils little horse, gay in brass -mo nted
harness; and with a tall turkey f ther
stuck upright at one ear in his 'ead-
stall.
Mrs. Bowen had no More scrupl 6an
another woman in stopping trave , and
traffic in a public street for her c. veni--
e
ence. She now entered into a brisk
parting conversation with Colville, such
as ladies love, blocking the narrow side-
walk with herself, her 'daughter, ar d her
open carriage door, and making' eople
walk round her cab, in the road, hich
they di&meekly enough, with the Flor-
entine submissiveness to the preteosions
of any sort of vehicle. She said a ezen
important things that Seemed to have
just coine- into her head, and, " Why
how stupid I am !" she called out, mak-
ing Colville check tha driver in hi, first
start, after she had get into th cab.
" We are to have a few people to- ight
If you •have no engagement, I s iould
be -so glad to have you come. an't
you ?"
" Yes, I can," said Colville, ad iring
the whole transaction and the part es to
it with a passive smile. -
After finding her pocket she ound
that her card -case was net in it, b it in
th
e purse she had given Effie to c wry ;
but she got her address at last, •and gave
it to Colville, though he said hp ke ould
remember it without. • "Any tunebe-
tween nine and _eleven," she said. "‘--It's
so nice of you to promise !" •
She questioned him from nnde her
half -lifted eyelids, and he added, with -a
laugh, '` Ill come !" and was rewarded
with two pretty smiles, just alike, from
mother and daughter, as they rove
T.E1 E HIJAON
in t e stupid absorption of ;his passion
for e, •other—and - fragments of proof
-tha she had probably defended and ad-
vo ted him mon ed* to him; and inspir-
ed vain and re spective gratitude,
he • ndoned hi ea' to regrets, which
wer proper eno gh in regard to Miss
Rid ely, but were! certainly a little un -
law ul concerning !Viers. Bowen.
A he walked away towards his hotel
he used himself with the conjecture
whe her he, with his forty-one years
and his -hundred and eighty-five pounds,
wer not a pathetic and even a romantic
figu e to this pretty and kindly woman,
wh probably imagined him as heart-
bro en as ever. He was very willing to
see ore of her, if she wished; but with
the rain beginning. to fall more thick
and chill in the darkening .street, he
cou have postponed their next meeting
till a pleasanter evening without great
self- enial. •He felt a little twinge of
rhe matisna in his shoulder when he got
into his !room, fee your room in a Flar-
enti e hotel always some degrees
cold r than out -doors unless you have
fire in it; and with 'the sun shining on
his windows when he went out after
lune , it had seemed to Colville ridicu-
lous to have his Morning fire kept up.
The sun -was what he had taken the
roo for. It was in it, the hindlord as-
sure him, from ten in the morning till
four in the afternoon; and so, in fact, it
was when it shone; but even then it
was not fully in it, but had a trick of
look ng in at the side of the Window,
and painting the chamber wall with a
deli ive glow. Colville raked away the
ashe of his fire -place; and throwing on
two or three fagots of broom. and pine
spra s, he had a blaze that would be
ver pretty to dress by after dinner, but
that gave Out na warmth for the present.
He ft it and went down to the reading-
roon , as it was labelled over the door,
in h mage to a predominance of English-,
spe ing people among the guests; but
titer was no fire there ; that was kin-
dled only by request, and he shivered at
the •are aspect of the apartment, with
its celd piano, its locked book -cases, and
its t Where the London Times, the
Neu Freie Presse of Vienna, and the
Itali of Rome expotecl their titles, one
just beyond the margin of the other.
He urned from the -door and went into
the . dining -room, where the stove was
oste tittiously ;roaring over its _small'
logs and lozenges of peat. But even
here the fire had been so recently light-
ed it at the warmth was pcitential rather
than actual. By stooping down before
the -stove, and pressing his shoulder
age, is t its brass doors, Colville managed
to 1 n his eneniy, while he studied the
figu es of the Iwoman-headed, woman-
brea ted hounds developing into vines
and i foliage that covered the frescoed
trell sing of the' quadrangularly vaulted
ceing. The waiters in their veteran
dres -coats; were putting the final
touc ies to the table, and the sound of
voic s outside the door obliged Colville
to g t up. The- effort involved made
hitn *till more reluctant about going out
to es. Bowen's. •
Tie• door opened; aud some English
ladi s entered, 1 faintly acknowledging,
provisionally ignoring, his presence, and
talking of what they 1 had -been doing
since lunch. They agreed that it was
really too cold in the churches for any
pleasure in the pictures, and that the
-Pita .Gallery, 'where they had those
:braziers, was the only place you could
go . with comfort. -A French lady and:
her husband `came in; a Russian lady
folloW*I ; an Italian gentleman, an
• American family, and three or four de-
tached men of the English-speaking race,
whose language; at once became the law
of the table. 1
As the dinners progressed from soup to
fish, and from the entree to the roast
and salad, the; combined effect of the
-pleasant cheer and the increasing earn-
estness of the stove made the room
warmer a,nd warnier. They drank
Ghana wine from the wicker -covered
tasks, tied with tufts of red end green.
silk, in which they serve table wine at
Flwence, and said how pretty the bot-
tlei were, but how the wine did not
seem very good. -
"It certainly isn't so pod as it used
to be," said Colville.
Ah, then you have been in Flat. -
hence beforhe, said the French lady,_
whose English proved to be much bet-
ter than the French that he began to
talk to her in.
Yes, a great while ago; in a state of
pre-existence, in fact," he said.
The ! lady looked a little puzzled, but
interested. In a state of prhe-existence?"
she repeated.
" Yes ; when I was young," he add-
ed, catching the •gleam in her eyes.
"-When I was twenty-four. A great
while ago." ts,
" You must be an Amerhican,"_said
the lady, with a laugh.
Why do you think so? • From my
accent ?"
" Frhom your metaphysics too. • The
Amerhicans like to talk in that way."
"1 didn't know it," said Colville.
"They like to strhike the key of
perhsonality ; they can't endure not be-
ing interhested. They must rhelate
everything to themserve,s or to those
with -whom they are talking."
"And the French, ?,' asked Col -
Ville.

The Italian gentleman on Colville's
right was politely offering him the salad,
which had been left for the guests to
pass to one another. Colville thanked
him in Italian, and they began to talk
• of Italian affairs., One thing led to
another, and he ...found that his new
friend, who was notyet his acquaintance,
was a member of Parliament, and a re-
publican.

said Colville. "But why do you want
a republic in Italy ?"
"When We have axonstitutional king,
why should we have a king ?.".,asked the
