than in any other: the broad expanse o
skirt bosomy with its three small stud
oftgold dropping, points .of Belt, one be
low the other, softened his strong
almost harsh face, and balanced- hi
rather! large head. In his morning coat
people had to look twice at him to mak

the pfer-glasa in his room. He w
almost tempted to shave, and wear hi

let his beard grow because he found tha

1
Vachea he neglected shaving, and wen
about daYs at a time with his face. in a
offensihe stubble. Taking his chin. be
tween his fingers, and peering close
into the mirror, be wondered how Mrs
Bowen should have known hum, sh
must have remembered him very•vividly
He worild like to take off his beard and
put en the youthfulness that comes o
shaving, and see what she would say.
Perhaps, he thought, with a last glance
at his toilet, he was overdoing it, if she
were only to have a few people, as she
promised. He put a thick neckerchief
over his chest so as not to provoke that
abominable rheumatism by any sort of
- exposure, and he put on his ulster in-
stead of the light' spring overcoat that
he had gone about with all day.
Ile feund that Palazzo Pinti, when
you cantle to inwas rather a grand affair,
with a gold -banded porter eating salad
in the lodge at the great doorway,• and
a handsome gate of iron cutting you off
from the' regions above till you had
rung tIte ' bell of Mrs. Bowen's apart-
ment, when it swung open of himself,
and n•ou mounted. At her door a man
'in modified livery receie,ed Colville, and
helped MI off with his overcoat so skill-
fully th t he did not hurt his rheumatic
' shoulde at all; there were half a dozen
other hats and coats on the carved chests
that stood at intervals along the wall,
and some gayer wraps . that exhaAed a
faint, fascinating fragrance on the chilly
airi Celville experienced the slight ex-
hilaration, the mingled reluctance and
eagernets, of a man who formally re-
enters an assemblage of society after long
absencelrom it, and rubbing his hands a
little.nervously together, he put aside
the yellow Abruzzi blanket portiere and
let himself into the brilliant interior.
-Mrs. Bowen stood in front of the fire
in a brown silk of subdued splendor,and
with her hands and fan and handker-
chief tastefully composed before her.
At sight of Colville she gave a slight
start, Whieh would-- have betrayed to
him, if he had been another woman,that
she had ' not really believed he would
come, and Came forward with a rustle
and murmur of pleasure to meet him;
he had politely made a rush upon her,
so as to Spare her this exertion, and he
was tempted to along -forgotten foppish-
nessness of attitude as he stood talking
with her during the brief interval before
she introduced him to any of the cona-
pa3ay. $he had been honest with him ;
there were not more than twenty -•five or
thirty people there, but if he had over-
done it in dressing for SO small an affair,
he was not alone, and he INS -3 not sorry.
He was sensible of a better personal
effect than the men in frock coats and
cut-aways were making, and he ' per-
ceived •With self-satisfaction that his
evening dress was of better style than
that of the others who wore it, at least
no one else carried a crush hat.
At forty-one a man is still very much
of a boy, and Colville was obscurely '
willing that Mrs. Bowen, whose life
eince they last met at an evening party
had been pasned chiefly at New Yorks
and 'Washington, should see that he was_
a man. of the world in spite of Des
Vaches. Before she had decided which
of the company she should first present -
hint to,' her daughter -came up to ,his
elbow with a cup of tea and some bread
and butter on a tray, and gave him
good -evening with charming correctness
of manner. "Really," he said, turning
about tie take the cup, "I thought
was you, Mrs. Bowen, who had got
mind to my side with a sash on.
How de you and Miss Effie justify
yeurseIves in looking so bewitchingly
alike ?»
"Yon notice it, then ?" Mrs. Bowen
*Wined delighted.
n - 4
I dta every moment you- were to-
gether to clay You don't mind my
having been so personal in my ob.serva-
tione?"
" Oh, hot et all," said, Mrs. Bowen
and Colville laughed. ,

d'hote dinner to -night; (the Am,erh

lady's guttural accent. '
"1 suppose we do," mused Mrs.
Bowen, -"and that We d n't mind it in
each other. I wish you would say which
-I shall introdnce you to," she seed,
letting her glance stilly invisibly over
her ectupany, where all Abe people
seemed comfortably talking.
"Oh, there's no hurry;. put it off till
to -morrow," said Colville. - •
"Oh no; that won't do," said Min.
Bowen, like a woman who has public
duties to perform, and is resolute to sac-
rifice her private pleasure to them. ,-.But
she postponed them a moment tenger.
"1 hope you got home before the rein,"
she said.

"Ah," said Mrs. Bowen, "you can't
be introduced to her first. But isn't she
lovely?" ,
Yes. It's a wonderful effect of
white andgold." •
"You ustn't say that to her. She
was doeb fal about her dress because
she says t at :the ivory white with her
hair rnake8 her look juin like white and

"Present me at once, then, before I -
forget not to say it to her."
" No ; I must keep you for some other
person; anybody can talk to a pretty
girl." I
Colville aid he did not know whether
to smile or shed tears at this Imbittered
cornplimen , and pretended an eagerness
for the ac uaintance denied him. .
Mrs. Bo en seemed disposed to intea-
sify hiae ery. "Did you ever see Le
-
more statu sque creature—with those su-
perb broa- shoulders and that little
head, and that thick braid brougit
round over the top? Doesn't her face,

eyes, and t at peculiar fall of. the corn-

Colville.
at t a the young olerytiuni remained talking
jeans Colville with his smokin glass in his
hand, found himself at the side of -a
friendly olchgentleman who had refused
the punch. They joined in talk by a
conunon impulse, and the old gentleman
, said, directly, "You are an American, I

His accent had already established the'
fact of his own nationality, but he sewn -

" But thi

made a feint of protesting as she led him
away, and named him to the lady she
wishedehim to know. But he was not
really sorry; he had his modest misgiv-
ings whethek he were equal to quite so
much young lady as Miss_ Graha.in
seemed. When he DO longer looked at
her. he had a -whimsical impression of
her being a heroic statue of herself.

we must rem in united if we are to exist
as a nation. • It's a necessity, like our
army of half a million men. We may

the economic state of: Italy, of the im-
mense cost of freedom, and independ-
ence to a people whose political genius
enables them to bear quietly burdens of
taxation that no other . government
would venture to impose: He spoke
with that fond,that appealing patriotism
which expresses se much to the sympa-
thetic foreigner in Italy; the sense of
great and painful uncertainty of Italy's
future *through the complications of
diplomacy, the memory of. her sufferings
in the paste the spirit of quiet and inex-
haustible patience for trials to come.

tion, poetizes :the attitude of the whole

home, with al our resources and oppor-
tunities." i., ,
The Italian would has e politely ex-
cused us to him, but Colville would
have no pallia ion of our political and
moral nakedn ss ; and he framed a con-
tinuation of t e letter he began on the
Ponte Vecchit to the Post-Dernocrat-
Republican, in which he made a bitterly
ironical comparison of the 'achievements
of Italy and America in the last ten
years.
He forgot about Miss Graham and
had only a vague sense, of -her spindor
as he caught *gilt of her in the long
mirror which *he stoodbefore. Sne was
talking to a very handsome young
clergyman, anl smiling upon him. The
compel -1y seem d to be mostly Ameri-
cans, but ther were a , good many evii
dent English also, and Colville was
dimly aware of a question in his mind
whether this clergyman was English or
American., There !were three or four
Italians and there were some Germans,
Who spoke English.'
Colville moved about from group to
group as his enlarging acquaintance led,
and fomid himself more interested in so-
ciety than he could ever have dreamed
of being again. It was certainly a de-
fect of the life at Des Vaches that peo-
ple, after the dancing and love -making
period, went out rarely or never. Ile
began to see that the time he had spent
so bnsily in that enterprising city had
certainly been in some sense wasted.
At a certain -moment in the evening,
which perhaps marked its advancement,
the tea-urn was replaced by alug of the
rum punch, mild or strong according to
the custom of the house, which is served
at most Florentine receptions. Some of
the people went immediately after, but

The old gentleman seemed
way of putting it. "Well, iyes, we're
not unfairly represented here in numbers,
I milst. confess, but I'm bound to say
that I don't find our countrymen so ag-
gressive, so beud, as our international
novelists would make out. , I haven't
met any of their peculiar heroines as
yet sir." 1
Colville could not help laughing. "1
with r had. But perhaps they avoid
people of our years and discretion,or else
take such a filial attitude toward us that
we can't recognize them."
" Perhapt,nperhaps," cried the old
gentleman, with cheerful cheerful assent.
"1 was talking with one of, our Ger-
man friends here just now, and he cone
plained that the American girls—
especially the.rieh ones—seem very cal-
eulating and worldly and conventional.
I told him,I did't know how to account
for that. I tried to give him some
notion of the ennobling influences of so-
+
ciety in Ne ort, as I've had glimpses
of it." -. '
The old gentleman caressed his elbows,
which he was holding in- the palms of leis
hands, in high _enjoyment of , Colvilie'd
sarcasm. "Ah? Very good ! very good !"
he said. s' I quite agree with you ; *and
I think the other sort are altogether
1
preferable." •
"1 think," continued Wyllie, drop-
ping his ironical tone, "that we've much
less to regret in their unsuspecting, un-
siiphisticated freedom than in the type
of hard materialism which we produce
in young girls, perfectly *lac awake,
disenchanted, unromantic who prefer
the worldly vanities and. advantages de-
liberately and on principle!'recognizing
something bettermerely to despise it.
I've sometimes seen them -1' 1 _
Mrs. Bowen unite up in her gentle, in-
quiring Way. "I'm glad that• you and
Mr. Colville have made acquaintance,"
she said to the old gentleman.
"Oh, but we haven't," said. Colville.
"We're entire strangers." 1 •
"Then I'll introduce you to Rev. Mr.
Waters. And take you away," she add-
ed, putting her hand through .Colville's
arm with a delicate touch that flattered
his whole being, f • for your time's *come

" I don't know;" he said. " Of course,.

worked myself -up tn—the • point - of
wisning thee% were none. . I believe I'm
afraid."
"Oh, I don't believe that at all. A
simple scheol-girl like that !" Mrs.

national acuteness. She liked joking in.

funny things back. "-You'll see, as you

to like this
Miss Graham did, indeed,somehow di-
minish in the neater perspective. She
ceased to be ovetwhelming. When Cot -
vine lifted his ends from bowing before
her he perceived that she was neither so
very t tall nor so Very liirge,but possessed
merely a generoas amplitude of woman-
hood. But she Was even more beautiful,
with a sweet and youthful radiance of
look that was very winning.1lIf she had
ceased to be -the goddess she looked
across the length of the salon, she had
gained much by pecoming art extremely
lovely young girl; and her teeth, when -
she spoke, shoived a fascinating little
irregularity that gave her the last
charm.. '
Mrs. Bowen glided away with the
young clergymaii, but- Effie reinained at
Miss Graham's side, and eeemed to have
hold of the left hand, which the girl let
hang cuelessly behind her in the volume
of ber robe. The child's face expressed'
an adoration of Miss Graham far beyond
her allegiance to her mother.
"1 began to dbubt whether Mrs.
Bowen was going to bring you at all,"
she said, frankly, with an innocent,
nervous laugh, which made favor•for her
with Colville. " She promised it early
in the evening."
"She has used me much worse, Miss
Graham," said Colville. "She has kept
me waiting from_the 'beginning of time.
So that Inave grown gray on my way
up to you," he added, by an inspiration.
"I was a ' comparatively . young man
when Mrs. Bowen first told me she was
going to introduce Me."
'Oh, how good !" said Miss Graham,
joyously. And her companion, after a
moment's hesitation, permitted herself a
polite little titter. . She had made a dis-
covery: she had discovered that Mr.
Colville was drolh
"I'm very.glad you like it," he said,
with a gravity that did not clhceive
them.
Oh yes," Sighed Miss Graham, with
generous -ardor. " Who but an Ameri-
can eould say just .siach nhings ? There's
the loveliest old lady here dn Florence,
who's lived here thirty years, and she's
so homesick she doennt kpow what to
do, and she always says that Americans .
may not be better than -other people,lett
they are different."
"That's very pretty. They're differ-
ent in everything nut thinking them-
selves better. Their native modesty
prevents that."
"1 don't exactly -know what you
mean," said Miss Graham, after a little
hesitation.
" Weil," returned Colville, "1 haven't
thought it out very clearly myself yet.
I may mean that the Americans differ
from other people in not thinking well
of themselves, or they may differ from
them in not thinking well enough. But
• what I 1said had a very epigrammatic
sound, and I prefer not to investigate it
too closely." .
This; made Minh; Graham and Miss
Effie both cry out • "Oh !" in delighted
doubt of his intention. They both in-
sensibly. drifted a little nearer to him.
"There was a French lady said to me
at the table d'hote this evening that. she
knew twas an American because the
Americans always strike the key of per-
sonality." He practiced these economies
of material in conversation quite reck-
lessly-, and often made the same incident
or suggestion do duty round a whole
company.
