cles—my abominati in a young girl.
These feminine f .es -all ascended above
my head , and- disap ed slowly into thin

wi 1 the smoke which had
i
reproduced them. I et somehow a sweet face
seemed to linger in e blue cloud that curled
from the fiery end f my. cigar. ller bli*e

fallen in love with their 'posfies. - 4Or. But
alas?. she was my cousin, and I had been in
formed by Fanny's POritan mother than it
was a mortal sin to . marry Cousins; fOr Abe.

from the Pope to marry cousins.' Bet her
mother and the Bible, how could I go against
both I So I saw the 'features of my fair and
merry cousin fade away with sorrow. `
Not one.of these will do,' 1 said, b shakin.*
the ashes off my cigar. I then carelessly
glanced out of my window, preparatory to
reviewing another dozen of my marrying ac
quaintances. At this instant a lovely girl.
was going. by on the opposite side; of ' the
street. I recognized her at once as t myste
rious and graceful girt; who had often passed
my window. I had never seen her faea, as it
~
vas concealed. - How, they, did I 'know she
was lovely I you ask.. Because her feet were
the most captivating little members my crit
mai eyes ever rested on. &lilt feet could be
long only to a lovely body, to match in sym
metry, the faultless feet must be crowned by
a superb and lovely head and face. From
such cogent •awurneetation there can be no
appeal. 1 had often pointed her out: to some
of my friends, and more than once said I
would be willing to marry her without seeing
her face.
The fair promenader now made use of her
-little feet with . exquisite daintiness. Their
sweet-movements realized fully old Sir John
Suckling's admirable lines : . - . _
'Her feet beneath ler petticoat, -
Like little mice, peeped in and out.'
.
The first day, two months after that I saw
them, I was at -once taken captive. 'I -at
length,' said Ito Harry Hathilton my friend,
' behold the beau ideal or my imagination.=

They were nicely fitte)il by a pair of claret-•

She wore an open-wok- traw hat, which was
trimmed with flowers of•ome sort, and straw
