gtentlint” aaid MTL Bowen, "you
Must go with na and kielp us 'choose our
dominoes.'
4. A prudent woman oes not do an
dent thing by halves. Effie was to
allowed togoto the veglione too, and
she went with them to the shop where
they were to hire their dominoes. It
would be so much more fun, Mrs. Bowen
said, to choose the dresses in the shop
than to have them sent home for you to
• look at Effie was to be in black : Imo-
gene was to have a light blue domino,
and Mrs. Bowen chase a purple. one,
even where their faces were not -to be
seen they considered 'their complexions
in choosing the colors. If you happened
' to find a friend, and *anted to unmask,
you would not want to look horrid. The
shop people took thevividest interest in
kali, as if it were a new thing to them,
and these were the first foreigners they
had ever served with masks and domi-
noes. They made Mrs. Bowen and
Imogene go into an inner room and
Conte out for the mystification of Col-
ville, hulking about in the front shop
with his mask and domino an. -
"Which is which" the ladies both
challenged him, in the mask's conven-
tional falsetto, when they'came out.
With a man's severe logic he distin-
guished them according to their silks,
but there had been time for them to
think of changing, and they took off
their masks to laugh in his face.
They fluttered so airily about 'among
the pendent masks .aatd dominoes, from
-which they shook a ghostly perfume of
old carnivals, that his heart leaped.
".Ah, you'll never beso fascinating
again' he cried. He wanted to take
them in his arms, they were both so ;de-
licious ; a met has still only that prim-
itive way of expreesinghis supreme
satisfaction in , womep. 'Now, which
am I?" he demanded of them, ami that
made them laugh eg-ain. He had really
put his. arm about Effie.
"Do: you think you will know your
papa at the veglione?" asked one of the
shop -women, with a mounting interest
in the amiable family party.
They all Laughed, the natural mistake
seemed particularly d oll to Imogene.
"Come," cried Mrs. Bowen ; :its
time we should be gog."
That was true; they had .passed ao
long a time iie he shop that they did not
feel justified in seriously -attempting to
beat dawn the price of , their dresses.
They took them at the first price. The
woman said with reiason that it was
Carnival, and she cou d get her price for
the things. ,
They went to the veglione at eleven,
the ladies calling for polville, as before),
in Mrs. Bow -en's carriage. He felt
rather sheepish, coming out of his raom
in his mask and domipo, but, the cotri-
dors of the hotel were empty, and for
the most -part dark ; there Was no one
up but the poi t,0r, who wished him a
pleasant time in as niiatter-of-fact fash-
ion as if he were going out to an even-
iug party in his clress-:coat. His sp4its"
mounted in the atmosphere of adventare
- whieb the :Leaks diffueed aboat them in
the carriage ; Effie Bqwen laughed aloud
when he entered, in Childish gayety of
heart.
The narrow streets roared with the
wheels of cabs and carriages coming and
going; the street before the theatre was
so packed that it was some time before
they could reach the door. Masks were
passing in and out; the nervous joy of
the lathes expressed itself in a deep -
drawn quivering sigh. Their Carriage
door was opened by ia servant of the
theatre, who wished 1 them a pleasant
veglione, and the next moment they
were he the crowded vestibule, where
;they paused a moment, to let Imogene
'
and Effie really feel that they were _part
of a masquerade. '
" Now, keep all together," said Mrs.
_Bowen, asethey passed through the int.
ner door of the veatibele, and the bril-
liantly lighted theatre flashed its calors
and splendors upon them. The floor' of
the pit had been levelled to that of the
stage, which, stripped ;of the scenic ap-
paratus-, opened vaster spaces for the
motley crew already eddying over it in
the waltz. The boxes, tier over tier,
blazed with the light of candelabra
which added their sparkle to that of the
gas jets.
" You and Effie go before," said Mrs.
Bowen to Imogene. She made them
take hands like children, and mechani-
cony passed her own hand through Col-
ville's arm. .
A mask in red from head to foot at-
tached himself to the party, and began
to make lave to her ire excellent panto-
mime, ,
Colville was annoyed. He asked her
if he should tell the fellow to take him-
self off.
" Nat on any account !" she answered.
"It's perfectly delightful. It wouldn't
be the veglione- without it. Did you
ever see such good acting r -
'i don't think its remarkable for
anything but its fervo4
" said Colaille:
. "1 should like to see you making love
to some lady," she rejoined, mis-
chievously. I . .
_
"1 will make love to you, if you
like," he said, but he felt in an instant
that his joke was in bad taste.
They went the round of the theatre.
"That is Prince Strozzi, Imogene
,
" said
Mrs. Bowen, leaning forward to whispee
to the girl. She pointed out other peo-
ple of historic and aristocratic names in
the boxes, where there was a democracy
of beauty among the ladies, all painted
and powdered to the same- marquise
effect.
e On the floor were gentlenien in even-
ing dress without masks, ',:and here and
there ladies waltzing who had masks but
no. dominoes. But for the most part
people were in c attune ; the theatre
flushed and flower $1 in gay variety of
tint that teased tl e eye with its flow
through the dance. .
Mrs. Bowen had circuraseribecl the ad-
venture so as to exclude dancing from it.
Imogene was not to dance. One .might
go te the veglione and look on from a
box; if one ventured further and weet
on the floor, decidedly one was not to
dance.
This was thoroughly understood be.
forehand, and there were to be no peti-
tions or murmurs at the theatre. They
found a quiet corner, and sat down to
look on.
The mask in red followed, and took
his place at a, little distance, where,
whenever Mr & Bowen looked that way,
he continued to protest his passion. -
"You're sure he doesn't' bore you ?"
suggested Colville.
No, indeed. He's very, amusing.".
"Oh, all right !" •
The waltz ceased, the whirling and
winding confusion broke into an irregu-
lar streaming hither and thithet, up and
down.. They began to pick out cos-
tumes and Characters that interested
them. Clowns In white, with big noses,
and harlequins in their motley, with fiat
black masks, abounded. There were
some admirable grassheppers in green,
with long antennae quivering.from their
foreheads Two or three Mephistos red-
dened through the crowd. Several
knights in armour got about with diffi-
culty, apparently burdened by their
gee -ayes -and breastplates. •
. A group of leaping and dancing masks
gathered around a young man in evening'
dress, with long hair, who stood leaning
against a pillar near them, and who un-
derwent their mockeries with a smile of
patience, half amused, half tormented..
When they grew tired of baiting him,
and were looking about for other prey, .
the -red mask redoubled his show of
devotion to Mrs. Bowen, and the other -
masks began. to flock round and ap-
prove.
"Oh, now," she said, with a little em-
barrassed laugh, in which there .was no.
displeasure, "1 thinksou may ask him.
to go away. But don't be harsh with
him," she added; at a brusque movement
which 'Colville made toward themask.
-F` Oh, why should I be harsh with
him' We're not rivals." This was not
in pod taste either, Colville felt. • " Be-
sides, I'm an Italiantoo," he said, to re--
trieve himself. made a few paces to-
-ward the mask, -and said in a low tone, '
with gentle suggestion, "-Madame finds
herself a little incommoded:"
The mask threiv himself into an atti-
tude of burlescine despair, bowed low
with his hand on his heart, in token of
subniissiongend vanished into the croWel.
The rest dispersed with cries of Re,
plause.
" How very prettily you did it, both
of you !" said Mrs. Bowen. "1 begin
to believe you are an Italian, Mr. Col-
ville- I shall be afraid of you."
You weren't afraid of him."
"Oh, he wast real Italian."
"It seems to me that mamma is _get-.
ting all the good of the veglione," said '
Effie, in a plaintive murmur. The well-.
disciplined child must have suffered
deeply before she lifted this seditious'
voice. •
" Why, so I am, Effie," answlered her
mother, and I dont,think it's fair my-
self. What shall we do about it ?"
"1 should like something Ito eat,"
said the child. - ; '
So should I," said 'Colville.
"That's reparation your niother • owes
us all. Let's make her take us and get
„s something. Wouldn't you like' an
tee Miss Graham ?"
" Yes, an ice," said Imogene,- with an
effect of adding, "nothing more for
worlds," that Made Colvilk laugh. She
. rose slowly, like one in a dream, and
cast a look as impassioned as. a look
could be made through a mask' on the
scene she was leaving behind • her. The
band was playing a waltz again, and
the wide floor swam with circling
couples.
The corridorwhere the tables were
set was thronged with people who were
drinking beer and eating eold beef and
• boned turkey and slices �f huge round
sausages. " Oh, how can they ?" cried
the girl, shuddering.. •
"1 didn't know you were so ethereal
minded about these things," said Col-
ville. "1 thought you didn't object, to
the -salad at Madame_Uccelli's."
"Oh, but at the veglione !" breathed
the girl for all answer. He laughed
again.; but Mrs. Bowen did not laugh
with him ; he wondered why.
When they returned to their corner in
thetheatrethey found a mask in a black
doiiiinO there who made place -for them;
and remained standing near. .They be-
gan talking freely and audibly, as Eng-
lish-speaking people .incorrigibly do in
Italy, where there tongue is all but the
language of the country. •
" Really,' said Colville, "1 think -1
shall stifle in this mask. If you ladies '
will do what youcan to surround me -
and keep me secret, 16 take it off a
moment."
'" I believe I will join you; Mr. Col,
vine," said the mask near them. He
pushed up his little visor ef silk, and
Idiscovered the mild, benignant features
,of Mr. Waters. ,
I "Bless my.sdul !" cried Colville.
Mrs. powen was apparently too much
shocked to say anyth Mg. .
'-You didn't expect to meet me here?"
!asked the old man, as if otherwise it
should be the niost natutal thing in the
world. After that they could only.
I unite in suppressing their astonishment.
"It's extremely interesting," he went
• on, " extremely! I've been here ever
11 since the exercises began, and I have
not only been very greatly amused, but
greatly instructed. It seems toenie the
key to a great many anomalies in the
history of.this wonderful- people."
If Mr. Waters took this philosophical
tone about the Carnival, it was not pos- -
sible for Colville to take any other.
"And have you been able to divine
from what you have seen' here," he
asked, gravely, the grounds of Saxon-
arola's objection to the -Carnival ?"
"Not at DA"' said the old man,.
promptly. I have seen nothing but
the most harmless gayety throughout
the evening."
Colville hung his head. He re-
membered reading °nee in a passage
. from Swedenborg that the most celestial •
angels had scarcely any power of •per-
ceiving evil.
"Why aren't you young people • dan-
cing ?" asked Mr. Waters, in a cheerful
general way of Mrs. Bowen's party.
Colville was glad to break the silence.
Mrs. Bowen doesn't approve of dan-
cing at vegliones." . •
"No ?—why not ?". inquired the old
man, with invincible simplicity. ;
Mrs. Bowen Smiled her pretty, small
smile below her mask. .
"The company is apt to be rather
mixed," she said, quietly. •
"Yes," pursued Mr. 'Waters; " but --
you could dance with one another. The
company seems very well-behaved." .
"Oh, quite so," Mrs...Bowen assented.
Shortly after I came," said Mr.
Waters, one of the masks asked me to
dance. I was really sorry that my age
and traditions forbade my doing so. I
tried to explain, but I'm afraid I didn't
make myself quite clear."
" Probably it passed for a joke with
her," said Colville, in order to say some-
thing.
"Ah, very likely ; but I shall always
feel that eny impressions of the Carnival
would have been more definite if I could
have danced. Now, if I were a young
man like you—"
Imogene tittned said looked at Col-
ville through the eye -holes of her mask
even in that sort of isolation he thoughi
her eyes expressed surprise.-
" It never Occurred to you before that
• 1 was a young: msn," he suggested,
gravely. .
She did not reply.
After a little mterval, " Imogene "
asked Mrs ;Bowen, "would you like to
dance?"
Colville was astonished. "The v;ifli•
one has- gone to your head, Mrs.
Bowen," he tacitly made his comment.
She had spoken to Imogene, but she
glanced at him as if she expected him to
be grateful.to her for this etroke. of
liberality. • ;
" What would be the use?" returned
the girl. , .
Colville rose. "After my performance -
in the Lancers, I can't expect•you to be-
lieve me, but I really do know how to
waltz." He had but to extend his arms,
and she was hanging upon his Ishoulder,
and they were whirling away through a
long orbit of delight to the girl.
6` Oh, why here you let me do you
such injustice ?" she murmured intense',
ly. "1 never shall forgive myself."
It grieved me that you shouldn't
have divined that I was really it magnifi-
cent dancer in disguise, but I hore it as
best I could," said Colville, really
amused at her seriousness. "Perhaps
you'll find out after a while -that I'm not
an old fellow either, but only a Lost
Youth."
"flush," she said.; "I don t like to
hear you -talk so."
" How ?"
" Abaut—age !" she answered. It
makes me feel— Don't to -night!"
Colville laughed. "It isn't a, fact
that my blinking is going to change
materially. You had better make the
most of me as a lost youth. I'm old
enough to be two of them."
She did not answer' and as they wound

without some satirical sense of the crude

"Let us go and walk in the corridor a
moment," he said.. But they walked
there till the alluring melancholy music
of the waltz began again. In a mutual
caprice, they rejoined the dance.

Then I knot? I wasn't." .
Again they were silent, and it was he -
who spoke first. "1 wish you would
tell me why you object to the interdicted

"Because —because I like every time

" Oh !. And this wouldn't be perfect

"1 didni mean that No; but if
you didn't mention it, no one else would

"Did any one ever accuse you of flat-

"Not till now. And you are unjust."
" Well, I withdraw the accusation."
"And will you ever pretend such a
thing again ?" •-
"Oh, never !"
