It was so long since Colville Ilan been at a' dancing party that Mrs. Bowen's offer to take him to Madame Uccelli's had first struck his sense ofthe ludicrous. _ - Then it had begun to flatter him, it imp `ed that he was still young enough to. ance if he would, though he had stiptdated that they were n t to expect anything of the kind. froi him. He liked, also the notion of bei d seen and accepted in Florentine soci ty as the old frieed of Mrs. Bowen, for he had. not been long in discovering that her posi- tion in Florence was, among the foreign residents rather authoritat ee. She was one;Of the very fewAmeric ns who were asked to Italian Imusen and Italian houees lying even beyond the neutral ground of. English-speaki g intermar- riagee. She was not, of dourse, asked - to the great Priamess Steazii ball, where - the Florentine nobility apeieered in the --medinoal pomp -the veritable costumes --6f, their ancestors, only ahrich Ameri- can' banking family went, and. their dis- tinction was spoken, of ender the breath; but any glory short of this was within Mrie Bowen's reach. So an old. lady whh possessed herself of Olivine tho night before' had , told him, celebrating Men ,Bowen at length, and lit:mating of her acceptance among the best English residents, who, next after the natives, seem n no constitute the social ambition of Anieridans living in Italian cities. , interested him to find that Some geagraphical distinctions which are fad- ing at home had quite- disappeared in Floienee. people fr Eatthed her him ing to e imagina the pains When he was 'there before, In quite small towns in the ade pretty Lina Ridgely and feel. the disadvantage of hay - from the western side of an line; he had. himself been at Iways to let people know, at . the American watering places 'where he spent his vacations, that though pre wet- ly _ from Des Vaches, Indiana, he was really born in Rhode Island; but in FlOrence it was not at all necessary. He foetid in Mrs. Bowen's house 1 people from DenvenChicago, St. Louis, Boston, New York and Baltimore; all meeting as oflaPparently-the same civilization, and whether Mrs. Bowen's own origin was, like that of the Etruscan cities, lost in the Mints of antiquity, or whether she hen sufficiently atoned for the error of her birth by subsequent residence in the nntiorean capital and prolonged sojourn in New I ork, it seemed certainly not to be remembered against her among her astern acquaintance. The time had. been when the fact that Miss Graham the yottng girl, gayly. I "We're all ed with 'brought her to Mts, Bowen, wrapped up, and you couldn't. form any idea of us.

"Is it very far ?" • Yes," said Mrs. Bowen. 1 "It's ridiculously far. It's outside the.

The ladies had a bouquet in her hand, which aaholding in additidn to her fan, the edges of her cloak, and the skirt of her train. "Ye," said Mrs Bowen; we are so much obtigedI for them." "Why, I sent you no flower," said Colville, startled into untimely earnest. "Didn't you ?" triumphed. Mrs. Bow- en.

The English spoke with the same vague respect of Beffala and of Philadelphia ; and to -a family of real Bostonians Colville had the courage to say simply that he lived in Deg Vaches, and not to seek to palli- ate the truth in any sort. If he wished to Prevaricate at all, it , was rather to attribute himself to Mrs. Bowen's city in Ohio.' . She and Min( Graham called. for him with her carriage the next night, when it was time, to go to Madame Uccellin. , “ This gives me a, very patronized and effeminate feeling," said Colville, getting into the odorous dark of the carriage, and settling himself upon the front seat with a skill inspired by his anxiety not to tear any of the silken spreading white Wraps that inundated the whole interior. n"Being come for by the ladiet !" They both gave some nett -ohs joyful laughs as they found his hand in the obscurity, and left the sense of a gloved pressure upon it. " Is this the way you used to do in Vespueius, Mrs. Bowen?" I " Oh, no, indeed !" the answered, 1 The young gentlemen used to find out whether I was going, and came for me with a hack ; and generally, if the weather was good we walked home." " That's the way we still do in Des Attaches. Sometimes as a tremendous jttke, the ladies come for us in leap - year. How do you go to balls in , Buffalo, Miss Graham ? Or, no;. I • Withdraw the embarrassing ques- tion." Some gleams from the street lamps, as they drove along, struck m through the carriage windows, and flit - 44 over the ladies' faces and were gone again. 'Ali ! this is very trying. n -Couldn't you stop hint t the ext cor- ner, and let nie see how radiant you ladies realty are? I may be in very great danger: I'd like to know just how . much." - - • " It wouldn't be of ale use," cried - "And in Buffalo they always do," Miss Graham' added. " Ah ! they don't in I said Colville. ' They tried to mystify about the bmiquetse they being very gay, and in selves laugh a great deal. was even livelier than the en Veches," him further succeeded in eking them - Mrs. Bowen oung girl. Her carriage was .on Of the few pri- vate equipages that drove tip to Madame . - Uccelli's door; most people had not even come in a remise, but, after the simple Florentine fashion, had taken the little cabs which stretched in a long • line up and down the, way; the horses had let their weary heads drop, and were eas- ing their beoken knees by extending their fote-legi while they drowsed, the drivers, huddledehi their great -coats, had assembled aretind the doorway to see the guests_alight, with that amiable, =envious interest of the Italians in the pleasure of others. The deep • sky glit- tered,with stars; in the Corner of the next villa garden: the black plumes of some cypresses blotted out their space among them.. "Isn't it Florentine ?" demanded Mrs. Bowen, giving the hand which Colville. offered in lielphig her out of the carriage a little vivid pressure, full of renfinis- cende and confident sympathy. A flush of youth warmed his bear'; he did not quail even when the porter -of the villa intervened between her anner coach- -man, whom she was telling when to come back, and said that the carriages were ordered for three o'clock.. .ham ; but the fun had "Did you'ever sit up so late as that in yet. Des Veches asked Miss Graham, mis- Colville had forge chievonsly. . I about the Landers If Oh, yes ;I I was editor on a morning like a bear in a pen; h paper," he explained. But he did not like the imputation of her question. Madame Uccelli accepted him most hospitably among her gueste when he was presented. She was an American who had returned with her Italian husband to Italy, and had lone survived him in the villa which he haebuilt with her money. Such people grow very queer with the lapse ef time. Madame Uccelli's charac- ter remained inalienably American, but her manners and cuStorne had become largely Italian; without having learned the language thoroughly, she spoke. it Very fluently, and its idioms marked her. Philadelphia English. Her house was a menagerie of all the nationalities ; she was liked in Italian society, and there were many. Italians; English-speaneing Russians abounded; there evere.maq genuine English, Germanst Scandina- vians, Protestant Irish, American Catho- lics, and then Americans of all kinds. There was a superstition of her exclu- siveness among her compatriots, but one really met every one there sooner or later; she was supposed to be a convert to the religiqu of her late husband, but no one really knew what religion she was of, probably not. even Madame Uccelli herself. One thing you were sure of at her house, and that was a sub- stantial sapper; it is the example of suchresidentforeigners which has cor- rupted -the Florentines, though many native families etill hold out against it. The dancing was just beginning, and the daughter of Madame Uccelli, who' spoke both English and. Italian -much a better than her mothe, came forward and. possessed herself of Miss Graham, and reel ed er with the regulation bow, hanging his head Aown before him as if submitting his molt to the axe. She put her hand in Colville's arm, where he stood . beside Mrs. Bowen. "Oh, do take me to get'something to eat!" - In the supper -room she devoured salad and ices 'with a cbildial joy in them. The place was jammed, aid she laugh-. ed from her corner at Colv lie's struggles in getting the things for her and bring- ing them to her. ° While she was still in the midst of an ice, the faint note of the piano , sounded.. "Oh, they're begin- ning again! It's the Lancers!" she said, giving him the plate back. She took his arm again-; she almost tinned him along on their return. "Why don't you dance?" she demanded, Mock- ingly. "I would, iflyou'd let me dance with - "Oh, that's impossible! I'm engaged ever so many deep." She dropped his arm instantly at'sight of a young Eng- lishman who Seemed to be looking for kinan had a zeal sparing ; part- im except as a inner enpressed r people who e, who danced onscience than king for you," rebuke, 'with- " We've * been you." here.- This yourig Euglis for. dancing that was u ners were nothing to means of dancing ; his m a supreme contempt made the slightest mists with less science or less himself. I've been lo he said in a tone of col out looking at- her. whiting." Colhille wished to beat him, but Imo- gene took hit rebuke meekly, and num- mured some apdlogies about not hearing the piano before. He hurried off with 'her without recognizingColville's exist- ence in any evay. The undancing husband qf the dancing wife was boring himself in a corner; Colville decided thet the chances -with hira were better than with the fond father, and joined him, just as a Polite officer came up and entreated :him to complete a set. "Oh, -I .never :'danced in my life," he replied.; and then he re- ferred the officer to Colville; `eDon't you dance ?" • • " I used to dance," Colville began, while the officer stoodlooking patiently at L him. This was true. lie . used to dance the Lancers too,iand very badly, seventeen years before. He hat danced it with Ling Ridgely and the other one, Mrs. ltlilbury. His glance wandered to the vacant place on the floot ; it was the same set which Mins Graham was in ; she smiled and beckoned derisively. A vain \and foolish am ition fired him. “ Oh, yes I can dance little," lieen td.

"Rave you found the Way to the s pper-room yet, Mrs. Bowen ?,) - "No !" she owned, ev'th a small, pa- thetic laugh, which expr seed a certain physical faintness., and reproached him with insupportable gel tleness for his elfish obtuseness.
