Miss Harrison.just glanced up from the tells of ribbon that she was label - Ing and took no more notice of this unusual variety of customer. But Fanny. Frost, whohadbeen a country girt not so long' ago herself, came for- ward with an interested face. "What sort of a bonnet did you want?" asked she. "Well, I don't just know," said Mrs Petherly. "Tastes differ out our way. Mis' Deacon Powell, she's got a black straql, with red poppies on to il, and Car''ifne Felter wears a black shirred silk, with cook's feathers. But I'm an old woman and 1 don't want anything so showy." "I've got 'something that will suit the lady exactly," said Miss Falcon, starting from her seat. "Rich and yet tasteful. Deep maroon, trimmed with dwarf dahlias, and knots of lemon colored ribbon Adlow me to show it toou." She reached down a bandbox from one of the shelves behind her, and took out a most astounding bonnet, all a -bristle with yellow ribbon, scarlet dahlias and jet wheat ears. "La!" said Mrs Petherly. "Aint that pretty hot -looking for- this time of year? • "Oh, they are wearing velvet clear into August now," declared Miss Fal- con. "And pretty gay -colored, too?" hesi- tated the old lady. •1' ."Not at all," said. the Head Young. Lady, "I sellus 'tthese colors toclergy- men s wives, I assure you, every day in the week." "Fashion is a strange thing," said Mrs Petherly, contemplating the mar- roon bonnet with an uncertain glance. "It's a great bargain," said Miss Fal- con. "I, recommend it most decidedly. "How much is it?" said Mrs Petherly, her uncultivated eyes resting lovingly on the scarlet dahlias and the bow of yellow ribbon. "Ten dollars." "Ain't that an awful price!" said Mrs Petherly, her jaws dropping apart. "Marked dawn from fifteen! impres- sively added' Miss Falcon. "By all odds the most stylish hat in the place." "It seems odd none of the rich New York ladies haint bought ,it afore," said Mrs Petherly. Miss Falcon looked sharply at her,. to detect any hidden satire, but the old lady was evidently speaking in all good faith. "Well, I'll tell you why," said Miss - -Falcon,—.confidentially _ ; ,•""Of course you won't repeat it, but we caul sell it because Mrs Statchel h'ordington wears one like it, and she don't like her friends to pattern after her. But of course if you take it out in the coun- try, that is quite a different matter. Under those circumstances, I think Miss Aigrette would be willing to sell it for eight dollars." Mrs. Petherly lcoked at it with a puzzled air. She could not remember seeing any other hats like it in Sleepy Glen. Nor was it at all like the style they wore in Iron Creek, the next vill- age, where her sister was the Baptist minister's wife. But it was certainly very brilliant colored, and the velvet seemed to be a very good quality; and, of course, if this imposing young wo- man declared it to be the fashion, that settled the matter. "Allow me to try it on," said the Head Young Lady; and Mrs Petherly could but comply. • "It makes me look awful queer," said she. "Them nodding top knots and the fiery red dahlias. Do you think—" "The most becoming thing I ever saw in my life,' said Miss Falcon. ecstatically clasping her hands. "Look, Fanny! Look, Cecilia!" (to the other ever . you ou e e r see anything hin y g like it in your lives?" "Never!" said Miss Harrison, truth- fully enough, as she turned away her • face to conceal a titter. Fanny Frost, however, was silent. "Better take it at once," said Miss Falcon. "You won't secure such a bargain every day in the year." And overpersuaded by the eloquence of Miss Falcon, Mrs Petherly bought the bonnet, paid for it. packed the bandbox safely into the rnudsplashed wagon, beside the basket that had held her eggs, and the stone pot that had come down closely packed with butter. "And node," said she, "p'rapa you can recommend ane to,a place where I can get a cracker and a cup o'tea, with- out paying their weight in gold. I brought down a basket of cheese and some crullers, and a turnover apple pie, but some little imp of evil stole it out of the end of the wagon when I was bargaining off my ducks' eggs at Jagger's grocery store." "Just round the first corner," said Miss F alcon, smoothly, "with stained glass windows and statues on each side of the door, where it says "Oysters and Refreshments" on the sign over- head." "Much obliged to you, 1 am sure," said Mrs Petherly, shaking the discol- ored leather reins over the hbllow back of the old horse and chirruping to start him up. Dobbin placidly ,responded with a sedate trot. "Why; Julia Falcon," cried Fanny Frost "you're not going to send her to that billiard saloon?" Miss Falcon burst out laughing. "It's the best joke I ever knew," said she. "But, of course, she won't be fool enough to go in." "And you , sold her that dreadful bonnet that Miss Aigrette made up for Clara.Coulette, to wear to the masque- rade ball as "Widow Bedott,' only old • Judge Coulette died on that very day, and the thing was left on our hands!" said ranny. 3' Once nn went On ,e moreMlsap'slc off into hygeterical peak of laugtiter, f r s e I've o7 d t, accents•.

Mrs Petherly Was Considerably aivazed when the. ;•clerk behind .the counter, of . the', gorgeous, restaurant explained to her,. respectfully enough, that this w.as ab. eetablfshrtrent patr':o' nrzed exclusively by gentlemen, One or two en, .drinking beer at rnarble- topped, 4bies, and, a: stout, elderly per- son smoking a cigar over a newspaper, io.,oked eiriously at her, but Mly d DO tnambled coinent a4 she hurri ")It must he that X didn't understand what the young woman said," thought she. "I'm gettin' dreadful hard of hearin' in my old age, It's true what Elihu says, I hadn't ought to come to the city without Ann Amelia comes with me, And I won't aginl" The. next day was' Saturday, and the Head Young Lady, left the store early, Miss Harrison sighed. ""I wish I had a beau," she murmur- ed. "Is that what. it means?" said Fanny Frost, who was trimming a white chip hat with half blown rosebuds. "Didn't you know?" said Miss Har- rison. "She's engaged to Mr Ulrick, the foreman of the Vulcan ZincWorks, and he's to take her down to spend Sunday with his people. She's got. the prettiest pink lawn dress you ever saw and >r black lace scarf fit for Miss Aigrette herseh to wear." So Julia Falcon went down into the country with Elihu Ulrick, who took her straight to the pretty,' old, maple - shaded farm -house where his mother lived—the kindly old mother, whose second husband had been the same as a father to him all these years. And on the way Miss Falcon told him the joke about the antediluvian old 'Re- mains'who had bought the hideous Widow Bedott bonnet, believing it to be a triumph of the milliner's art, and of how she had sent her to the billiard ,saloon to get a cup of tea. Mr Ulrick did not•seem to regard it quite as she did, however. • "I don't see any great joke in deceiv- ing a poor old countrywoman, he.said. "Oh, but you can't imagine how in- tensely funny it was," said Julia gig- gling. "Suppose it had' been my mother? Or your own?"observed he. "That would have been quite a dif- ferent matter," said Miss- Facon, toss- ing her head, and speaking with pro- per decision. It was dark. when they reached the old farm. The windows shone pleas- antly with welcome lights, fire flies glared through the purple air, and there hung a scent of roses over every- thing. Ulrick jumped from the wagon, and assisted Miss Falcon to descend. ""Here she• is, mother!" said he. And, to her ineffable dismay, the Head Young Lady found herself face to face with the very old woman to whom she had sold the Widow Bedott bonnet. Astonishment was no name for her mental sensation.. A curious expression flitted across the mild, old face as she recognized her visitor. "You are welcome, Miss," she said, "for E :4,We sake. Walk in. You may be very sure that, 'white -you- are -here, - no one will attempt•to play off any practical jokes on you. And with gentle dignity she with- drew, leaving her daughter, Ann Ame- lia, to enact the part of hostess. Miss Falcon did not enjoy her visit at all. Mrs Petherly did not appear again. Ann Amelia was silent and constrained, and there was an indis- cernible change in Elihu U1riek's man- ner. • ""I wish the old bonnet.had been in Jerichefbefore I tried to get it off my hands!" thought she, bursting into tears, that night. "They've told her what a guy it is—and it puts me in a pretty position.". She was to have remained until Tuesday, but she changed her mind and returned to town on Monday, in- stead., fits 75 cents.

"It's gone," said Miss Falcon, sharp- ly. "I've broken my engagement," "Goodness me! What for?" "Oh, I've changed my mind," said the Head Young Lady. But the truth was that Elihu Ulrick had changed his mind. "No woman can be a wife of mine," he had said, frankly, "who could in- sult and deceive my gray-haired mo- ther!" And he had decided wisely. The Head •Young Lady remains the Head Young Lady, and since that memorable morning when she tricked Cid Mrs Petherly she never tried to p, lm off a passe bonnet on a, rural cus- tomer. Indeed, whisper some, the Head Young Lady gives gratifying evidence of forsaking most of the ways of foolish virgins. ARE YOU NERVOUS.
