And she ment it, or what answers the same purpose- she thought she ment it. After all,' how few of us ev er really know what we do mean ? UI engaged myself once wdien a girl and the simpleton thought he owned me. 1 soon took that conceit out ol him, and sent him about his business." The voice was now a trifle sharp. What wonder with so galling a mem ory ? "Xo man shall ever tyrannize over me never ! What the mischief do you suppose is the matter with this sewing machine ?"

"I am glad you are satisfied," was the laconic answer. It was quite evident b the expres sion of the dressmaker's face that she had formed her own opinion about my friend's husband, and was quite competent to form and express an opinion on any subject, Miss Kent was a little woman, as i r..: .i ' u i tan .in it jjiii-i unti ;ia piuujp as :i iuu- in. She wasn't ashamed to own that she was forty j-ears old and an old maid. She had earned her own living most of her life, and was proud of it. Laziness was the one sin Miss Kent could not lorgive. She was a good nurse, a faithful friend, and a jolly companion; but stroke her in the wrong way and you'd wish you hadn't in a much shorter time than it takes j me to w rite it. Her views orr all sub- j jects were strikingly original and not j to be eornbatted. t "What are you going to do when ' you are old ?" persisted the mistress of the" establishment ; "What other old folks do, I sup-j D05e ' 1 !

That there was something behind I all this I knew Tell. Myfriend's j eyes danced with fun ; and as Miss ! Kent fitted the waist she threw me a letter from the bureau. ; "Read that," she said with a know- ing look, "it may amuse you." j This is what the letter said : ! "My dear Jennie I shall be de-! lighted to spend a month with you j and your husband. There must" be, however, one stipulation about my visit you mnstpiomisemetosay no i more about marriage.
