She was sitting just inside the conservatory, waiting for someone to bring her an ice, when she heard a voice ask, on the other side of the flowery wall: `How old is he?'say,' replied another voice.`It would be a grand thing for one of those girls, wouldn't it? Sallie says they are very intimate now, and the old man quite dotes on them.'Mrs. M. has made her plans, I dare say, and will play her cards well, early as it is. The girl evidently doesn't think of it yet.' said Mrs. Moffat.`She told that fib about her mamma as if she did know, and coloured up when the flowers came quite prettily.

She might tear it up tonight, and there'll be an excuse to get her a decent one." "We'll see. I'll invite little Lawrence especially for her, and then I'll have a good time. '
