Toa person unaeq.nainted with the
Giegory t.imilv, the above singular pro
lestalion would seem not only very cross
and impel tiuent, but decidedly- uncalled
(or.
Grandma Gregory, in the most nieHf-
Inous ol rones, and with her sweetest
company smile, was pimply suggesting
to ler daughter.Cei tvudc, tlie Ji npii t
of putliiig up lie" I) tek hair.
'But yon are seventeen-years old,' the
lady urged, to all appearance quite un
disturbed by her companion's reply.
'Grandma, 1 shall not bo seventeen
lill next Saturday,' the ) oung l.idy an.
. swerod with fishing eyes, 'and it don't
make any diflrrence how old I am.
. When I went to .Mis. Graham's parly, 1
► aid that iny hair would never get on top
j of in> head again unless it want there
ilselt. Mv head aches now with those
j old tongj of hairpins that that hair-
I dresser stuck through iny scalp, i wish
I my head was as bald as old Mr. Tom
lfiison'B; then I should be let alone.'
'You are very tall of your age, my
dear,' grandma began again, in the
. .same unruffled manner, 'and for cer
uyn occasions—such for instance, as
Carrie ShelViHo's wedding" to-iih trow
r~nliil)t—lie arrangement of j'OHr hair a:i
your own good taste will tell vou, should
correspond with your dress. There
must be Uara.on) in thssc tilings, else
ive mi»ht as well be barbfu&ins.*
'There'll never be any harmony about
me, grandma, inside or out, if I have got
to be badgered till the time about my
I 'jack hair, and how Lentei ami leave a
■ room, and how I behave when 1 go to
'hose hateful dinner parlies which no
body but an ante.'o'uY nn, can enjoy,why,,
then, grandma, you might as well give
• nic up, lor 1 shall never do you or papa
i he least credit.'
'Just consider a moment, Getty,'
"I'audina began again. 'Do you think
vonr Inrr, arranged as it is now, in a
. braid at tlio back of your neck, will be
I in keeping with your white silk dies*:'
/No. grandma, I don't suppisc it wil 1 ;
but I'm not to blame for that. I wanted
a blue silk ,oi a white muslin, such as
- oirls of my age wear: but you bought
the white silk, and what could I do.'
The discrepancy will bo in this grai:diaa
—that mv dress will be old cnonyb f«»v
a lady twice my a e, and my hair will
be just as old as I Mil.'
[ Grau> mi's patienoo did seem of the
• claMic ki d, lor even now, alter all this
1 provocation, she proceeded to argue the
ca«e in iter most cheerful and smiling
mam ai'.. , .
'1 only care,' she said 'to have you
i" dressfls becomingly as possible. \ou
look a vGiiublu full-fledged young lady,
mv dear and the costume that \v*ni!d be
suitable for man) girls ot your age would
be in very bad taste for you. I hope

For a momeut Gertrude did not speaks
She stood bofor the library fire, looking
down among the glowing cuab, appar
ently in deep thought.
1 Finally she said with a keen glance at
her grandmother;'
'1 beard you and papa Ift'kiug about
Court Bentley last night.'
'Yes, my lovc» the oid lady replied,
gi/ing the last smoothing touch to a new
lilac'glove she was trying on.
' Well, graudma.' said Gertrude, if
Court Benlly cornea to this bouse to
make a visit you needn't expect me to be
polite to him. I Relieve Gr*.dnia Greg
orv, that the ro*son tliat the reason yon
have taken to talking so much about my
back hair and my style generally, ia be
cause you want me to Wook suf&ciently

'Allow tne lo inquire Gertrude,' and
nv/w there was a trifling change in ||, t .
old Lad>'„ iiiunner, as she carefully drew
the glove from her shapely hind, ' why
>ou should single Mr. llently, out of our
liigc circle ol friends and acquaintance*,

may seem?'
'hecausr,' iiw> «irl replied with, a blush,
el vexation, 'you and papa hnve talked

'I shall give you an opportunity soon
to be oshuuicd of yoursell,'said ilic oll
lady, quietly, 'when 1 inform you llini
Hie gentleman you speak ol U engaged to
a lady in Berlin. You will perhaps see
Ihe propriety of doing your sum ovei

'Oil, Grandma Gregory!' Gerlrnde ex
claimed, her sweet face radiant with dev
light,'you may ria me now ju3t as you
please, you can hoist my back liair to

I'll lorgive you (or ever planning about

At tJii-s juncture a servant entered and
presented a card to Mrs. Gregory. With
a :riiicat I nice at her gra iddanghtcr
who had thrown hcjself into an a,rm>>
chair by the tire to think it all over, the
old taiTy ordered the visitor shown in,
and the next moment .a gentleman of
iaost.,istingne appearance entered the
room.
Graudma's greeling was very kind,
ami I lie visitor seemed sincerely glad to
see hi j old friend again.
'This,' said Mrs, Gregory, leading i lie
gentleman to Gortru lo, 'is tlvJ little
gil l you used to lease so long ago, and
wiio I suppose has qni'C outgrown your
reini'iub.ance. Mr. Denll) —GertriMe.'
'lndeed, no,' Hie geutlemau replied,
'6he has giowu quite tall, to be sure,
but I should judge, Mrs. Gregory, it 1
may be pardoned the remark, that your
granddaughter has not oulgrown her
mischief. 4
'finite cone:!,' said grandma. 'I
tliin.U not.'
Gertrude repl'ed, with a blushing
smile: ,
'1 do not*reinernber you, Mr. Uently

iiOl be afraid to hazard the remark that
you ha>e held on to your fun ulso^ 4
Court Bently was twenty nine, anil
looked twenty-live, and' Gertrude. ai she
conversed in her unaflected and ladylike
manner, was not quite seventeen, and
looked twenty. «
Grandma was I lie picture of .serene
contentment as she listened to the
pleasai.t chatter; and once, as Gertrude
surprised a peculiar expression on the
old lidy's face, all her old suspicion re
turned t3r a moment; but as she had
neVer know n her grandmother, with all
her Uci and diplomacy, to tell a talse
hood, she dismissed the thought as tin
woriby, and gave herself up to tbe
pleasure of eiU'-rtaiuiaent,
The next evening Gertrmta. in a witi'e
