"Believe what ?" !"` That the Americans always talk bout themselvea." "I'm not sure she meant that. You never can tell what a person means by what he says—or she." "How shocking !" ," Perhaps the French lady meant that we always tadk about 'other people. That's in the key of personality too." " But I don't believe we do," Said Miss Graham. "At any rate, she was talking about us, then." ," Oh, she accounted for that by saying there was, a large American colony in and taught Paris,who thern our.pernicious habit of had corrupted the French, introspection." Do you think we're very introspee- ttve ?" 1" von?" • . '1 kilo* I'm not I hardly ever think abut myself at all, At any rate, not till it's too late. That's the great trou- ble. I wish I could.. But I'm always studying other people. They're so much more interesting. " Perhaps if you knew yourself better yon wouldn't think so," suggested Col- ville. - " Yes, f. know they are.

If I were go- ing to write a novel, I should take an old,person for a hero --thirty-five to for- ty,' She looked at Colville, and .blush- ing a little, hastened to add,: "I don't believe that they begin to be interesting mach before that time. Such flat things as young men are always saying ! Don't you remember that passage somewhere „ in 'Heine's Picture of Travel., where he sees the hand of a lady coming out from -Luther her mantle, when she's confessing in a. ehurch, and he knows that it's the hand, of a young person who has enjoyed nothing and suffered nothing, it's so sincloth° and flower-like ? After 1 read that I hated the look of my hands—I - was only. sixteen, and it seemed as if I had, had no -more experience than a child. Oh, I like people to be through some- , thiog. Don't you?" 44 Well, yes, I suppose .1 do. Other people." 'fico, but don't you like it for your- iself i" "I can't tell; I haven't been through anything worth speaking of yet." • Miss Graham looked at him dubious- ly, lsat pursued with ardor ; "Why, jastgetting back to Florence, after not _having been here tar so long -1— I should thitikit woald be so romantic. Oh dean! 1 ivish I were here for the second •:, times" "E'i afraid you -wouldn't like it ao weih" said Colville. "1 W ish I were herforthe first thne. There's nothing Ince the .first time in everything." "Do you really think so ?" "Well, there's nothing like the first i time in Florence."

What do yea think about Florence, Miss Gran?" "1? Poe been here two months." "Then it's too late?" " No,. I don't knew that it is., I keep feeling the strangeness airthe time. • But 1 can't tell you. It's very different from Buffalo, I can assure you:" " Buffalo ? I can imagine the differ- ence. ; And it's not altogether to the dis- ,advantage of Buffalo." "Of, have you been there ?" asked Miss 'Graham, with a touching little eagerness. "Do you know anybody in Buffalo?" " Same of the newspaper men; and I pass !through there once a, year an my way fo New York—or used to. It's a Iivelshplace." "(es, it is," sighed Miss Graham; fondlY- • " Do the girls of Buffalo still come out at _nikitt and dance by the light of the moon !

"Nosaid Mise Graham. "1, can only remberaber the end of the war." • " Hew divinely young!" said Coieille. "Wen," he added, "1 wish that French lady qauld have overheard us, Miss Gra- hare.

You don't suppose that-I.should hm-e talked so with every one ? 1 It was because you were another American, and &Leh an oldfriend of Mrs. Bowen's."., . " Thet is what I shall certainly tell the French lady if she attacks me about it," said Colville. He glancedcareless- ly toward the end of the room, and saw the young clergyman taking leave of Mrs. Bowen; an the rest of the company were gone. "*less me !" he said, "1 must be going,' "Mrs Bets -en had so swiftly adyanced upon him that she caught the last words. "Wh' she asked.. "Because it' S to -morrow,. I sipped, and the invitation was for . one day only." "It , was a season ticket," seid Mrs., Bowen, with gay hospitality, "and it isn't to -morrow tfor half an hour yet. I can't think of letting you go. s Come up to the fire, all, and let's sit down by it It's at its very best." Effie looked a pretty surprise and a &sat in this girlish burst from her •motile f / whose habitual serenity made it more striking in contrast, and she for - kiosk Mimi Graham's hand and ran for- ward and disposed - the easy ehairs mina fortably about the hearth. - • • Colville and, Mrs, Bowen suddenly 'found themselves . upon those terms. which often succeed a ' long separation with people Who: have felt kindly toward each other at a farmer meeting and have •Parted friends, they were rinich- More intimate than they had supposed them- • selves to be, or had really any reason for being. "Which one of your guests do you 'wish. me to offer up, Mra. Bowen?' he asked, from the hollow of the arm -chair, not to low'which he had sunk into. With Mrs. Bowen in a higher chair at his right hand, and Miss Graham in- tent upon him frotn the sofa on his left, a sense of delicious satisfaction • filled him from head to foot. "There isn't one I would spare if you said the word." . - •r "And there isn't one I wiint destroy- ed, I'm sorry to say," araiwered Mrs. Bowen. "Don't you thinli they were all very agreeable ? ' ' •. . ' "Yes, yes ; agreeable enough—agree able enough, I suppose, But they staid too long. When ',think we might have been sitting here for the last half-hour, if they'd only gone sootier, I find itpret- ty hard to forme them." Mrs. Bowen and Miss Graham ex- changed glances above his head -ea glance which demanded, " Didn't I tell you ?" for a glance that answered, "Oh, he is !" Effie Bowen'seyes widened ; she. • kept them fastened' upon Colville in silent worship. . ' - - He asked who were certain of the company that he had noticed, and Mrs. Bowen let him make a little fun of them; the fun was very goodinatured. He repeated what the German had said about the worldly ambition of American girls; but she Would not allow him so great latitude. in this.H She said they were no worldlier than other girls. Of,. course they were fond of society, and some of them.got a little spoiled. But they were ins -no danger af -becoming too conventional. . Colville did not insist. "I missed the military to -night, Mies Bowen," he- . said. " I thought one couldn't get through an evening in Ploretioe without officers?" " We have them when there is dan- cing," returned Mrs. Bowen. " Yes, but they don't know anything but dancing," Miss Grahain broke in. "1 like• some one who can talk some- thing besides compliments." • • ," You are very peculiar, you know, Imogene," said Mrs. Bowen, gently. "I don't think our young men at home do much better conversation, if you came to that, though." • "Oh, young men, yes! They're the same everywhere. But here, even when they're away along in the thirties, they think that girls 'ban only enjoy flattery. I should like a gentleman to talk -to me without a single word or look to show that he thought I was good-looking." "Ah, how could he?' Colville insinu- ated, and the young girl colored. "1 mean if I were pretty. This ever- lasting adulation is insulting." "Mr. Morton doesn't flatter," said Mrs. Bowen, thoughtfully, turning the leather screen she held at her face, • now edgewise, now flativise, toward Col- ville. .. • - "Oh no," owned Miss Grahain. "He's a clergyman!! , . " "Mrs. Bowen •addressed. herself to Colville. "You must go to hear him some day. He's Very interesting if you don't mind his being rather Low- 0• Church." . • Colville was -going to pretend to an adva,nced degree of ritualism, but it oceurred to him that it night be a seri- ous matter to Mrs. Bowen, and he asked instead . who was • the Rev. Mr. • Waters. " Oh, isn't he lovely!" cried Miss Graham. " There, Mrs. Bowen! :• Mr. Water's manner is what I call •truly complimentary. He always talks to you as if he exPeeted you to be intereeted in serious matters, and as if you were his intellectual equal: And hes so hap- py her in Florence! He gives you the impression of feeling every breath he breathes here a privilege, YOL1 ought to hear him talk al3out Savonarola,-Mr.• Colville." "Well," said Colville, "I've heard a great many people .talk about Savona - rola, and I'm rather glad he talked to me about American girls.". • . "American girls ! uttered Miss Gra- ham, in a little scream.. "Did Mr. Waters talk to you about girls ?" " Yes. Why not? ' He was probably in love With one once." ' "Mr. Waters?" cried the girl. "What nonsense !'" " Well, then, with Sopse old lady. Would you like that better?" Miss Graham looked at° Mrs. Bowen for permission, as it seemed, and then 1 aughed; but did not attempt any reply o Colville. •. •. "You find even that incredible of such pyramidal antiquity " he resumed. 'Well, it is hard to believe: I told him what that German said, and we agreed beautifully about another typed American girl which we Said we pre - felted." l - '" Oh ! 'What( could it be?" demanded Miss Graham. L - " Ale it wouldn't be $o easy to say right off -hand," answered Coleille, indo- lently.• • * . Mrs. Bowen put her hand under the elbow of the arm holoing her screen. "I don't believe I should agree with you 80 well, she said, apparently with a sort of didactic intention. ••.- They entered into a discussion which is always fruitful with Americans—the discussion of American girlhood, and Colville contended for the old national ideal of girlish liberty as wide as the continent, as fast as the Mississipiii. Mrs. Bowen withstood him with delioate Armness.. "Oh," he said,- " you're Euro- peanized." "1 certainly prefer the European plan of bringing up girls," she replied, stead- fastly. "1 shouldn't thiuk of letting a daughter of mine have the freedom I had." t. Well, perhaps it will come right in - the next generation, then; she willelet7- her daughter have the freedom • she: hadn't."• • "Not if I'm alive to prevent it," cried Mrs. Bowen. Colville laughed." What plans do • you prefer, Min Greliam?" - "1 don't think it's quite the same now as it used to be," answered the girl, eva- sively. "Well, then, all I can Say is that if I had died before this•change, I had lived a blessed time. I perceive more and more that I am- obsolete. I'm in my dotage; I prattle of the good old times, anal the new spirit of the age flouts Me. Miss ,Effie, do you prefer the Ain'telstr—o," thank k you,"'haid her mother, quickly. • "Effie is out of the question. It's tune you were in bed, Effie." • The child came with instant submis- siveness arid kissed her mother good- night, she kissed Miss Graham, and gave her haad to Colville. He held it a moment, lettitig her pull shyly/ away from him while he - back in hie Chair, andlaughed at her with his sad eyes. • "It's past the time I should be in bed, my dear, and sitting us merely because ' there's nobody to sen me. • It's lint that I'm really such a very bad boy. Good -night. Don't put me into a disagreeable dream; put me into a nice one.", The child bridled at the mild pleasantry, and when Colville res leased her hand she .suddenly stooped forward and kissed him. - "You're ea tuna), !" she cried; and ran and escaped beyond the portiere. • Mrs. Bowen stared in the same direc- tion, but 'not with severity. "Really Effie has beet' carried a little beyond herself." • " Wells" said Colville, • "that's one conquesgsincel -came to Florence. And merely by being funny' When I was in. Florence before, Mrs. Bowen," he Continued, after .a _moment, "there were two ladies here, and I used to go about quite freely with either of them. They were both very pretty, and we Were all 'very young. • Don't you think it -was • charming?" , Mrs. Bowen colored a lovely red, and smiled, but made no other response. J.' Florence has changed very much for the worse ;since that time. There used to be a pretty flower girl, with a• • Wide flapping straw hat, who flung a heavy bough full of roses into my lap when she met me driving across the Car - raja bridge. I spent all hour looking for that girl to -day, and couldn't find her. •The only flower girl I could find was a fat one of •fifty, ivy° kept me fifteen minutes in Via Tornabuoni while she was fumbling away, at my button -hole, trying to poke three second-hand violets t and a sickly •deisy into it. Ah, youth! youth! I suppose a young fellow could have found • that other flower girl at as glance; but myold eyes ! No, we belong, each of . us, to our own genera- tion. Mrs. Bowen," he said, with a touch of tragedy—whether real or affect- ed he did not well know himself in his hardiness, "What has beconie of Mrs. Finsbury ?" Mrs. iililbury, you mean 7" gasped Mrs. Bowen, in affright at his boldness. " Milbury, Bilbury, Pilsbury—it's all one, so long as it isn't—" • "They're • living in Chicago !" she hastened to reply, as if she were ,afraid he was going ti) say, ." so long as it isn't Colville," and she could not have borne that. • Colville clasped his hands at the back of his head and looked at Mrs. Bowen wi.h eyes that let her know that he was perfectly tfiware she had been telling Miss Graham anis youthful romance, and that he had now touched it purpese- ly. "But ,you wouldn't," 1)e said, as if that were quite relevant , to what they had beef talking about--" you wouldn't let Miss Graham go out walkiag alone with a dotard 1like nie ?" - "Certainly net," said Mrs. Bowen. • Colville got to his feet by,a surprising activity. "Good -by, Miss Graham:" He offered his hand to her with bur- • lesque. despaira and theh turned to Mrs.' BoWen. "Thank you for such:a pleas- ant evening ! 1,What was your day, did you say ?" "Oh, any day !" said Mrs. Besven, cordially, giving her hand. • "Do you knew whom you look like ?11 he asked, holding it. " No." • '• " Lina Ridgely." The ladies stirred softly in their dra- peries after heves' gone. • They turned and faced the hearth, avhere a log burn- ed in a bed of 'hot ashes, softly purriag and ticking to itself. and whilst they stood pressing their hands against the warm fronts of their -dresses, as the • fashion of women is before a fire, -the clock on the mantel. began to strike twelve: . • •• " Was that, her name?" asked Miss Graham-, when the clock had had its say. Line Ridgely ?" "No ; that was my name," answered Mas. Bowen. Oh, yes !" murmured the young girl, apologetically. She led him oh ; she certainly en- couraged him. It was shocking. He was quite wild about it." "She must have been a cruel girl. Row could he speak of it so lightly ?" It was best to speak of it, and have done with it," said Mrs. Bowen; "He knew that I must have been telling you something about it." "Yes. How bold it was ! A young man „couldn't have done it! • Yes, he's fascinating. But how bid and sad he looked s• as he lay- back there in the chair !" " Old? I didn't -think he looked old. He looked -sad.. ; Yes, it's left its mark on him." t The log burned quite through to its core, and fell asunder, a bristling mass of embers. They had been looking at it with downcast heads. Now they lifted their •feces, and 'saw the pity in each other's eyes, and the beautiful girl impulsively kissed .the pretty woman good -night. • 3 Of Sound Mind. A rich old fellow died, and when his estate was being settled tip his widow was caned in to give some testimony re- garding the will. , • "Mrs. Miller," skid the attorney, handing her the will, " will you belind enough to look at that- document and tell me if it is correct as far as you kno' • "What is it ?" asked the widow.
