stragfling village of brown walls and low
roofs there wets many beautios. 'I here
was Uio minister s pule lily of a daugh

the Widow Ureamley. There were the
young ladies at the " Iamlge," just a mile
from Mra. Mayncll'sgate, who took their
morning ride through the fair weaihet
down the long street, or rather road, on

sucn spiriteu nurses, wun ineir gnmni

of daik cloth and plumed caps gave their
handsome figures a toniantie elegance.

of happy girls, famous aa the Norman
mauls for UikIu br.wu obesnul braids f
soft hair, and complexion?, d -rk indeed,
but glowing like something that is gild'
ed by the auo." : -
There vtm no mystery in the fact that
all these pretty ones yielded the palm to
the lovely daughter of Uie widow la
dy, who occupied a small but tasteful
d veiling among them. ; No one ever ad
dressed this lady of noble bearing as
Widow; Moynell. k That would have
been too familiar, for she had once been
very wejhuy and a stylish city lady, and
she preserved in her less fortunate days
. . . 1
as much diguity and refinement as could
be made compatible with a good heart anu
a somewhat indolent disposition. Helen
was her mother a fatonte child. Mie
was beautiful as a peachy cheek, dark
hair, with a burnish of gold, eyes that
csuld light tip radiantly or repose in lan
glid aweetness in their depths of shail
owy lash and blue veined I ids, and a mouth
a enticing as a cleft cherry, could make
j happy young fare. Her neat figure
as always exquisitely habited. She was
ever at leisure in the bright, airy parlor;
swinging in a rocking chair with a tiny
play thing Of a work Kissei, or nrawing
ll seemed no sin to interrupt such light
tasks, so all the idlo beaux or Appleton
knew where to lounge away a morning,
and aa Mrs. Mevnell was usually direct-

But none of her , admirers seemed to
touch her heart. Once indeed there had
been aome talk of her returning the aflec

of keeping him within bounds for a few

up in Helen's chamber mimicking one of
her favorite beaux in ftch a manner that
the attempt to stifle her laughter brought
tears to her eyes. '
But though Helen was idle, and aa
Wally said, " Had notions too funny for
a girl without money," she had many
kind feelings, and if properly excited
would really lake a great deal of trouble
to do thinga well. Il was curioua, how

Clarsa left such a muss about, and peep
