The question of a new hat is a serious ore to all girls, even to those who have rich papa and lull purses. TojJosie Heme it had, alas! always been a serious question, but on a certain momentous occasion, about to be. de scribed, its seriousness waa beginning to assume appalling proportions. This was the way of it: The Newcome girls had gotten up a lawn-party, led on to do so by the ex ample of some friends who had but re cently returned from a prolonged resi dence abroad, and who declared that life in the country was not to bo en dured without lawn-parties now and then to relieve its tedious mono--- girls, too,'ihruir way; iu.. , a little loed, a little slangy and some what disposed " to put on airs," as thej Raid in Centreville. But, on the whole, good-natured and kind-hearted girls; and little Josie Heme, who was the daughter of their music master, had often found them eo. They were con stab tly inviting her to the house when her father came to give them lessons ; they often in vit ed he r to tea more often than Josie could aecept, for she had so few dresses, and such as she had were not in a very fine state of preservation, notwithstanding Uie care she took ol them. And in summer, especially, she had often to refuse invitations to tea, when she . would very gladly have ac cepted them, because her summer ward robe consisted of two cheap muslin gowns, made by her own skillful little hand; and each time yhe went out any where it was neci sary to appear in one or other of these gowns, carefully lanndriert b v. Jo sic- heiscif. And how fresh and pretty they looked, too; and e no one ever dreamed how flushed and tired Josie had been after the ironing, or what economy she had Eracticed to enable her to buy the extra alf pound of starch. But she didn't mind that, not a bit, Rafter the task was accomplished. She was just as happy, and enjoyed herself probably much more than any one of those girls whose dresses were so many that they would have been puzzled to number them as a mere matter of mem ory. But sometim.Ts even the strictest econ omy failed to bilng in the extra starch; and as Josie was her father's house keeper, and did all the laundry work as well as her own dresses, and the cook ing, house-cleaning, everything, in short, and kept the tiny cottage as neat and trim as a flower-garden, it hap pened, occasionally, that, she couldnt even afford the time to go up to the New . come's grand house to enjoy the hoi.. ". tality that was proffered with such hearty iood-wilL However, a lawn party that was something that ctrold! not be refused. tcfirna Tponle of her own age, and en- loyed a good time quite as much as any young, brignt, nappy giri wjuiu. , But oh I the hours of anxiety that beset Josie after the too tempting invi tation had been accepted. All Centreville would be there, ox course; the Newconies had the finest lawn in the neighborhood, and every wiv wnntd be charmingly dressed. Such an opportunity lor the diplay of summer toilets did not occur every - day, and when it did, of course every one would take ad vantage of it. Josie was' not a vain girl, and only moderately fond of dress; but for a lawn party a hat wua an absolute ec-essity, .and what in the world was she going to do? for she had been wearing her dark ' straw, trimmed with a bright winged little bird, all the spring and so far into- the summer that only a natural brunette complexion, like hers could have stood BUch cloce acquaintance with the sun. But that hat with a light muslin dress would never do for a lawn party. Con sequently, poor Josie was in despair, at least as nearly so as a bright, hopeful, light-hearted girl of her age could be. " I must overhaul my wardrobe T' she thought, the day after accepting the ia vitation; and with a comical little grimace she added, " being so extensive of course I may have forgotten ; many things no doubt I shall find just what I want in it." Next day, accordingly, as soon as her morning's work was over, and after the one hour', pruntice on the little cottage piano which felie never omitted, Josie pro ceded to overhaul her wardrobe as she had said, and greatly to her surprise " bran;l w k'ipsev of the latest stvio.' n hat to trim it with became the next momentous 'juestion ; and after thinking the matter over all day while engaged in her other duties, Josie was obliged tc give it up, leaying the hat still poised on the end of the bedpost, consoling her self with the hopeful reflection : "Well, I'll manage it somehow some thing will be sure to turn up in time fox the lawn-party." Meantime the yellow, time-stained India muslin was ripped, i.nd washed, and bleached like the new-lallen snow, and then made into a charming costume with rulfles and knife-plaitings in the newest style ; and indeed it made a dress handsome enough for any oceasio.a But, alas! nothing in the shape of trim ming for Josie'9 hat had yet been found, and in despair she had almost decideO on a wreath of wild field flowers and grasses. They would be appropriate and lovely tor an hour, perhaps; but after that they would be fiided and withered, and teiribly suggestive of a genteel vnakeshi't. But a kind late, who surely waits on poor young girls, came to the rescue. On the day before that fixed for thi lawn party. Joie was hanging out her few little luces to dry on the rosebush in front of the house; and while she did bo. her cie.ir, li es'j youn3- voice sang out gaily : " Gin a body mw t a body Couiin' thro' the rye, Gin a lodv kis a body, Need a bedy cry?" " No, indeed," thought a good-locking youth, who was iust p.-issing: ' for my own part, I'd be more likeiy to smile," and he stopped and looked Jong and J Singly thajprettj gir' . .Ytfe oflot'f to c. . she turned- toW&d him, he aougwu quickly out oi sight, and at the same moment a wand riug breeze caught the loose Mlk ban ikt-rchiei carelessly knotted about his throat, bore it straight toward Ioie and dropped it at her feet, while the owner, liughing to himself, pas(d on, unconscious of his loss. With a cry of del:ht Josie caught up the soft brilliant -;U:ire of silk, with its w'ir of the Kevulntion -xuu ;:,e eo;,U!. ntal coneres took measures to show that the Britbh ot erntueu was the party who flrst com muted ill Kai acts and provoked a breach of the p. ace. thus throwing th- rwponai.

" Where could it have come from?" she asked, aloud. " Surely some good fairy must have drorpt-d it." And then, without a thought of look ing for an owner for it, she flew into the house, upstairs to her little room, and snatched her hat from the bedpost where it still hung, being pressed into shape. Josie's costume tor the lawn-party was a great success; indeed the soft, white India muslin was the prettiest dress there, and the old-fashioned leg horn hat, with its trimming of two half handkerchip's ot brilliant silk wound scarf-wise about it and tied in a bow on the side, wa9 declared to be quite the most becoming headgear that had ever been seen in Centreville. There was one young gentleman there who scarcely took his eyes from Josie's hat for the first half hour after her ap pearance on the lawn ; then he seemed to discover that her bright, dark young face was even more attractive than her brilliantly trimmed .hat. "By Jove!" thought rthur Moor land, "it's the pretty litt.e girl who wanted to know if being kissed was a thing to cry about. Upon my word 1 would like to make a practical demon stration of her feelings on tbe subject. And that's where I lost my silk hand kerchief. Poor, pretty child! how elad I am she found it perhaps she wouldn't have been here but for that lucky puff of wind that blew it away.

And if he is really smitten with that dear little Josie, what a magnificent thing it will be for her." So the course of true love was per initted to elide on with almost provok inir smoothness: and one day Arthur told Jo&ie that he couldn't live any longer without her, and didn't intend to trv. . . aM . . -w "Oh. Arthur!" laiterei josie, Diusn- inxr like a June rose, "what's to be done then!" for vou know I'm the victim of ash vow, and I m wicked to break it. afraid it would be 'A vow! what vow?" questioned Arthur, turning pale "Well, the truth is, Arthur, the dav before I met you I found a lovely silk handkerchief, and it was such an abso lute god-send and rescued me from such a quandary, that I vowed to myself that I would marry none other than the owner of that handkerchief, if I could ever meet him, and he should ask me" "And you shall keep that vow, my darling I am, or was, the owner of that handkerchief," and he caught the blush ing girl in both arms.

Informed one night that the students wpre painting the wails ol the chapel, " Very well, be sain, quietly, " let thera paint; but teil me when they are through." Dress ing hastily, he went about the town, rousing very painter in the idaee, and as the last student went out of the chapel a dozen artisans went in. Next morn ing, when there was an unusually large attendance at prayi-ra. behold the c-ilci-mined walls as fair as ever. The dignity of the college had not ' vn allowed to be insulted, yet never a student was ever questioned, bNmd marked or expelled. In the same manner, when the tongue ot the bejl had Intn removed one night, another was in its place before dawn, and the astonished students were sum moned to the'r devotions at the usual hour. Again, when the wheel of the organ i disappear d and the organist had been secretly informed that his srvic. would not be requited the n xt dny, one of the veiy delh.qu nls w::3 ailed upon to take his place, hnding, to his chagrin, that the keys responded dulituily to his touch.

One of the most remarkable phenom ena ever seen in ixnaon was witnesstu by thc passengers on the deorge rea body.'river steamer, just as Big Ben of Westminster was on the point oi strik ing seven o'clock. Tni was the appear ance of a huge elephant in the sky mak- inir straight, as it seemed, for the houses of parliament.

The apparition rapidly ' descended through the air, and speculations were hazarded as to what it was Men looked up and trembled, while timid women screamed : The end of the world is come and we are all lost!" The captain of the Geoige Feabody moored his boat to the pier to give thoae who desired it the chance of escaping by way of Lambeth palace, (n an Instant the monster was close upon the boat, aad a chorus of startled voices shouted : " A white elephant!" There was no longer any douot about the fact. It was an elephant, whose trunk was rapidly moving from side to side. With furi ous speed it passed over the stern of the Peabodv. and dashed into the Thames. The spectators breathed more freely.
