When John came to dinner he was daston- ished to find Aunt Mary " quite ssed up," as she blushingly said, in a clean print dress and white apron, her dear old face showing no sign of heat or weariness, while Daisy, with added bloom and bare white arms, was carrying in the dinner.

OHN RAMSAY was working on his farm, his careless, loose dress die: playing to advantage his tall, muscu- illar figure, and a broad straw hat shaded a handsome face, with , dark eyes set beneath a forehead `Whose breadth and height indicated a powerful brain. The hands that guided the plough were strong hands, but whiter and more delicate than such pur- suits usually allow. Daisy Hale sat watching him. Her dress was print, but made with flounces on the skirt and ruflles on the waist. Hershort, golden hair was curled into a fringe fully aver her forehead and gathered in longer curls into a comb behind, above which was a jaunty hat covered with puffs of white muslin and bows of blue ribbon to match'the spots upon ' her, dress: The face under Daisy's hat was gloomy, not to say cross.

The marbles mad. in this way are the common china, painted china, glazed china, imita- tion agates and black and white ballots These are very cheap, ranging in price according to size, from ten to sixty for five cents. Imitation agates are made from' white , stone and are painted to represent the pride of the marble player's heart—the real agate. The painted china marbles are of plain white stone with lines crossing each other at right angles painted upon them. The ballots are little black and white marbles that look as though they would never stop rolling if once set in motion by a boy's thumb and forefinger. ato Yon will probably be greatly learn that glass alleys] are blown by glass- blowers, at the town of Lauscha in Thurin- gia, Germany.
