"But we must' have new dresses for New Year's Day I" said Audrey Velve Lon, as she sat on the hearth-rug in front of the fire, her shapely arms folded be hind her head, her eyes fixed medita tively on the gleam and dance of the shining coals. "Or course we must," said; Muriel, g'anciug sleepily up from the" pages of che book she was reading. . Mrs. Velveton, a tall, handsome ma tron, who was arranging Japanese fans on the wall, looked perturbed, as the words reached her ears. "Girls," said 6he, "don't talk nonsense. Where are wo to get the money for new dresses, I'd like to know? Besides, there are the lemon-colored, silks , that you only wore twice." "Lemon is hideous anywhere except at a ball," said Muriel, critically. "Then there are your white gros grains," said Mrs. Velveton. "I don't dare to think what the dressmaker's bill will be for the making over of those two dresses." dresses me must have," announced Au drey. "And Sopriui must set the table; be does get up things so stylishly 1" "Couldn't we manage the refreshments ourselves?" said Mrs. Velveton, wistful ly. ''"Soprini is so dreadfully extravagant in bis charges. And when I was a girl we used to make the chicken-salads, and pickled oysters, and cake, ourselves, and" .:. . - ' "Oh, when you were a girl !'' repeated Muriel,, with calm innocence. "That was in the dark ages of the world, mam ma. Surely you can't expect us to go back into those times?" . Mrs. Velveton uighed. She bad lived a life of showL excitement, hollow dis play. She had brought up ber two handsome daughters to care only for so ciety to aim only for the goal of rich husbands. But here they were in the third season, and the Misses Velveton were the Misses Velveton still. Mrs. Velveton had far outrun her slender in come ; she was hopelessly in debt, and haunted constantly by the horrible vis ions of duns,bills and sheriff's sales ; and now Audrey and Muriel declared that they must have new dresses for the com ing "New Year's Day." "You must do with the lemon-colored glaces, or the white gros grains,", said she. "As fo.anything new, it's entirely out of the question I" "Then," said Audrey, quietly, ''we'l close the house, and direct Sniffen to say that we're not at home. I won't appear at all if I can't appear like a lady i" Mrs. Velveton looked dismayed. New Year's Day was notoriously a "Great Exhibition" day, so far as the "gentle men were cancerned. That was always a possibility that Muriel and Audrey might make an impression upon some gilded youth" on New Year's day .which might happily terminate in matrimony. Secluding themselves would be social suicide.and Mrs. Velveton was justopen ing her mouth to remonstrate, when Sniffen, the tall, servant-man, whom they kept because he was "so much more genteel than a maid," brought in a let ter. '-' "It's from ' Aunt Tabby," cried Mrs. Velveton, as she made haste to open it- I Out fell a check for five hundred dol ! Iars, made payable to the order ot Vene lia Velveton, and signed, "Tabitha .'. "To-be-sure 1" chimed in Muriel. The new dresses were purchased, and Madame Elisette herself composed them to the satisfaction of even the Mitaes Velveton: And Soprini received carte blanche to set the table, and Vaudoir bad the flower order, and Mrs. Velveton con gratulated herself that nothing r waa "Mamma, if you want us to go into ; a convent, say so," mildly yawned Au drey, a tall, blonde beauty, with fluffy yellow hair, liquid blue eyes, and a corn- Clark." Audrey picked it up with a shriek of delight and surprise. "Th old darling !" she cried. "It's a present for us, of course a New Year's H" , "I 1 i , . artfully heightened by cosmet-.

Ting-a-ling went the bell before Snif fen had buttoned on his new livery-coat. "Our first call," said Audrey, giving her pale-blue train a shake out. "What antediluvian can it possibly be, to come at this time?" N-"-v : "I'm sure I can't imagine," said Mu riel, posing her face into the regulation delighted smile. And in walked a little old woman in a snuff-colored suit and round spectacles followed by a tall, pale girl, in shabby black. "Aunt Tabitha I" cried Mrs. Velveton, who, in a decollete dress of black sat in and a ruby uecklace, had just swept in to the room, . '.'Yes," said theold woman, looking keenly around her "yes you are right, Venetia Aunt Tabitha-ahd Mabel Wil ton ! How caae I here ? Why, Mabel, in ber loneliness and trouble came out to Cranberry farm and appoaled to me. To my amazement she had never eyen heard of her cousins, the Velvetons. Tho check wta duly cashed, as my banker notified me. But I said to myself, "Poor Venetia I Boarding house keeping is a grinding business. I'll go myself and ste what the trouble is." " Upon my word, you live in royal style here. With a man-servant and. moquette carpeta,and frocks I should say cost as much as fifty dollars apiece I. How niauy boarders do you keep? And bow much do you pay a week ? :" ''"'".' - '"" Mrs. Velveton bursted into tears. The bitter sarsasm of Aunt Tabby's voice.the mocicing light of her eyes, were abso lutely unendurable, especially as the elaborately-costumed guests were begin ning to arrive, and stared in amazement at tho little, old, snuff-colored woman and her tall, pale companion, whose dre3ses were such a contrast to the dam" asse and court trains of the Misses Vel veton. , :.'..;- "";.',.'.'.. "I see," said the old dame crisply. "No, Venetia, don't begin to make tbx cuses. You have told me lies enough already. I don't want to be deceived any more. Vou have deliberately rob bed the orphan and the fatherless to add to your vulgar ostentation. . You are such a fine lady," with a low courtesy, "that you are no longer in need of your j old aunt's hard-earned savings,su 1 shall adopt Mabel Wilton in your stead,young ladies. And I wish you a happy New Year, and many of 'em, for you will never see me again I" And so the old lady went away, with Mabel Wilton in her train. Muriel and Audrey smiled and sim pered through all that weary day ; and the next day the doors of Velveton man sion were closed. Left their Proverbial Saying.
