Her hair was a peculiar shade of yellow, Lke pale eu'phar. Her eyes were of tLe lihlrst gray. Lady George rave her Land and said : "How do yoa do?" The Bratusms oc cupied Ler with some elaborate explana tion as to wby they liad tuen unable to dine ia Barn slretrt, acd in the meantime the lady, with a murmured word, had passed on. Lady George looked after her. She was bowing to some one. She was bowicg araia asd now ajala. Ap parently she had many friends in the room. Mr. ErabaLon was talking to Mrs. Keith, who as soon as be had moved away, turned to Ler hostr-ss. "She handsome. I Lope your flow ers were not spoiled. I didn't catch the name." The lady was 1os in the smart crowd. "Neither did I," said Lady Georsr, blandly, "and I don't know ber from Adam. She must be sotae friend of the girls. Juan or Maud must have Arnt ber a card my memory ia so bad. I cant leave this ; if you come across either of my daughters, will you send ber to me, Mrs. Keith? Oh, here is my husban-L George Gec-ie go into the rxca and tell me who the striking woman with the yellow hair is." "There are dozens of 'em. Which?" "IH show you," said Mrs. Keith. She was interested. The two moved away ; but Lke the raven from the ark, did not return. LaJy George, after tea minutes or so, felt that she had done her duty, and she left the top of the stairs. She forgot the unknown lady, and it was half an boor before she came across one of Ler daugh ters. "Maud, I Lai something to aek yoa and have fjrgctten what. Ah, yes. Who is I can't see her now ye, there she is that woman with the yelijw hair standing beside the mintlepiece ?" "Ia white? I don't know." "But neither do I. I thought yoa would be able to tell me. Find Joan aad send her to me." It was twenty minutes before Lady George's second daughter appealed be fore her. By that time the lady Lad moved from her place. "I know the one vdu mean," said Joan "bot I don't know who she is. She Las Terr curious Lair and is in white." "Yea." "Well, I don't know." Mrs. Keith came op. "I-crd George doesn't know," she said. "I Can easily Lad oat," said Joan ; "she has ben talking to Charley Vin cent for the last ten minutes ; 111 ask Litn. She moved away as she spoke. Young Vincent was leaning aalogt a pillar and laughing heartily. He was the butt for the moment of the chalTof two of his friends. Joaa heard a few of their remarks. "Hedtdat mind, don't yoa know awfully pretty woman like thai. Neith er would yoa." "Said she met hia at Nice, and dear old Charlie's never been oat of the coun try in Lis life." Vincent caught Miss Athol's eye. "Yoa are goic to let me take you down to supper ?" he said to ber. "I will see later on," said Joan. "Just now I want yoa to tell me something. What is the name of the laiy yoa were talking to a few minutes ago?" He began to lao'x. "At what V said Joan. "Well, the whole thing. Those two chaps have bees chaffing me Lke say thing, as it is. Yoa mean that hand some woman with the fair hair?" "Yes." "I was standing near her when she turned round and pat oat her Land. She said 'Mr. Vincent, isn't it T and I said 'Ye,' and then she said that she hadn't seen me for ever so long ; sad I didal like to say that I did not know ber, so I said that it nu rather a long time ; and then we talked fir s bit." "And yoa don't know who she is?" "Never saw Ler before ia ojy life. set ESTABLISHED 1837. Who is she?" "Where did she think she Lad met yoa?" said Jao, without answering Lis question. "Weil, yoa see that didnt corce out till quite the end. She said it most te two years since the days at Nice; and by that time I was so steeped in decep tion and I had allowed my reminiscen ces to go sach lengths in order 1 3 coincide with Lers,that I Lad not the face to tell Ler that I Lad never been at Nice in my life.

"She is very handsome," she said ; t-ut I ara not quite so rare that she is g xxl style." Miss Athol went back to Ler mother On tLe way she passed the fair unknown talking to Mr. Barbazon. "I watched that," Mrs. Keith was say ing ; "she dropped Ler fan. Well, Joan, wLat had Mr. Vincent to tell yoa t" "NotLing ; tLe mystery remains a mys tery stiiL She mistook him for some one else." "She bowed to Lady Beckenhaai, I think. I will ask Ler." "Not to me," said Lady Bcckechatn. Lady George ex plained the situation. "If I were in your place, I should go to Ler myself," said Lady Bet kenLam. "I must, I tbink," said Lady George, and she sought Ler unknown guest. "Yea will pardon me," she said, "bat I did not Lear your name, and my memory is bad. I do not recall your face." "I am Mrs. Darbohire," said the lady : "I was so sorry not to return your call oa Moaday. It was good of yoa to come and see me so soon. "KarUhire! Call!" Lady George looked at her vacantly. The lair caught something of her host ess's expression. "Can there be any mistake?" she said "I don't know yoa, of coarse, because I did not see yoa w Lea yoa called. Yoa beard from my dear friends, the Van Ltndens, of New l ork, and yoa came to see me and Ack me to yocr party." Lady Geort-e looked more Taeant. "Yoa are Mrs. Sefton, surely," said, the lady. "There is soms mistake," tiid Lady George . "I am Lady George Athol." "Mr?. LATOahtre started to Ler feet. "How caal eukiebtiy apologia ?" she said ; "I am a stranger in London, Laving arrived from New .York only last week. I Lad an introduction to Mrs. fvtlou. I do not know her persouaiiy, so I did not discover xuy mistake. I came in a hansom, and suppose the driv er mistook my directions." "Te mistake is easily explained if Mrs. Scften lives in Barn square." "That is it, I think," said Mrs. Darin ah ire. And this is Ern Street.' "I am so distressed that this should have happened," sai l Mrs. IWbshlre. "Not at all," sail Lady George ; "yoa found some friends here, I Lope, and it has given as the pleasure of your com pany." The lady, with reiterated apologies, bowed and tjok Ler departure. A man who passed her oa the stairs looked at her tixtxilyani Lorried up to his hostess. "Will yoa tell me that lady's name? he said. "Five minutes ag I might have asked y-to. Colonel Wtaton. the is a Mrs. t'arbshire, I bedeve. Her cabmaa mis took Barn Street fjr Earn Square." "Yoa know nothing about her?" "Nothing."

The lady started, then smiled and bowed. "Monsieur est bien aimabie," she said. He followed Ler to the hiruorn and got in. He spoke up through the trap : "IriTe slowly to the end of the street and I will direct you." He turned then to Lis companion. " We meet again, mademoiselle." "tjii, monsieur."

The Importance of the Element of Worship in Church Services. a r.srca lead eefoec theTast xeetiso OF TBE SoMEKsrT MINIsTEEtJU. A--SOCI-ATIOX BT REV. T. J. BBJ.-TOW, lAs TOK rtARYTEE!A.N CHI kt H. There is danger in the present time of drifting from the true idea of charvh ser vice. "Preaching the Word" is an "ordi nance of God " as nitx h as are the "Sar rajrents," but the listening to the sermon is not all of "Iivice Worship." We go to church to worship " Almighty God,' ' . throush the mediation of our Lord acd Saviour Jesus Christ," aad the min uter is to worship with trie people. The whole of the services should be a. Is of devotion, including the sermon, but there is great need to empLasiia the parts commonly called devotional. Tbe minister aloiild literally "give attendance to reading." To avoid an unnatural tone in reading the s.Tlptures is good, a drawl and churehly manner may destroy the meaning to the bearers of a sublime pas sage of the "Oracles of God." Tbe man ner should, however, be devout and with the dignity becon-ic the sacred Look. A clergyman invited a famous actor to attend Lis church. The good e5e.t was lost, as the player explained aflcr his vis it to the sanctuary. "It was his irreverent manner, sir, that destroyed what was good in tbe service; Le turned over the Bible carelessly al though it were a ledger, and his readini; of the scripture was ia tbe sauie line. His manner was not that of a man who Lad ameSoase from G-d for me." It has o'ten been a matter of surprise to the writer, that so Lttle attention is paid to good reading by preachers gen erally. It is a growicg conviction amonj ministers cf a'.l Evangelical churches that there should be more of the service in whlth the people caa take part. So ia many churches the Lord's Prayer is repeated after the minister, and there is the responsive reading cf the Psa'trs. Many use the Te Deum and the Apos tles' Creed. TLLa we take to be a move ia the riLt direction. The singing cf God's t raise should be hearty and con gregational. Wonderful is the power of sacred song to uplift the soul and when as with one breath we praise the Lord we are near in sympathy with the heav enly world. Where the hymn is read first t-y the minister, its meaoing as an act cf worship caa be interjreted by good reading. Let it be understood that the people are not assemble to be en tertained or anicsed, but to w orship God and revive spiritual icstrut tion. Freach icg ia a church in Ohio some timeao I noticed that the artist who fiescoed the building Lad introduced a picture cf the Lumaa eje in the cente cf the ceiling. While some might question whether that wasia good taste, cone will dispute the fact that the worshiper is under the eye of God. In conduct-cg the "worship" cf the sanctuary, we should desire that all present, aa far as possible, ec,.-Age with us in acts cf prayer and praise, as well as in hearing the sermon. Prayer has an important place ia pub lic worship, and is lue hardest part of it to lead aright. It is not eay intelligent ly and reverently to lead the devotions cf the people. It is easier in this rrspect to speak to man thaa it is to pray aright in public, and thus speak to God. A man may talk to God and not pray. Tae minister's private prayers are one thirg, Lis prayers for the congregation when leading them in worship quite another. It Was remarked of a Boston preacher that his was "the best prayer ever presented to a Bostcn audience T Let ns beware of the preaching prayer, that is preach when we preach aad pray when we pray. Tbe 4 Lord a Prayer" should be a part cf our church service, this is the model petition, it is most simple and suoiime. Whatever aids we may nse let this have its place and influence as well as through God's mercy its gracious answer. I know a minister who ' for thirty years Las preached in the same church, whose peo ple love him for his prayers. They be iieve that bis prayers go straight to the throne as no doubt they do. Q ieen Victo ria for whom this nationAs iadted all oth er?, has the highest esteem, was much moved by Dr. Nrmaa MiCland prayers: a church. " I always Lave a lump ia my throat when he prays fur me and the children." This was said yeais ago, and the gxxl doctor has zone to his reward on high. How near we may get to the hearts of the people by true priyer in their behalf, in which the whoie congre gation can unite in sympathy and dvep feelicg. There should be jiy as well as rever ence in worship, and we are to keep this lad bef -re the paople. We worship "O-r Heavenly Father" and assemble not to hear a message of death, but of Ufa. "The joy of the Lord was their streegth" who served him in the olden time, it should be ours also. God is not praised by a countenance wreathed in gloom, but he is ia one on which rests the sunshine of Lis love. Worship, if frivolous and flippant, can not be accepted yet it must ever be joy ous. We may rej.-iiee in "God our Savioar," ia Gethsemane and even at the Cross. The rainbows glorious coloring is set across the da.'k ciood of sorrow, and the sweet est songs of the church hare been born cf trial. " There is lijrht in the cloud. ' We are then to lead the people in a j oy ous service. "God abides" aad Christ ia exalted, the "Holy spirit" is givea in abundance. Death and the grave are defeated, aad we may well rejoice. A doll, complaining, distrustful tone in worship, harts the pec pie and dishonors God. Tae "Hallelujah chorus" and not the "Miserere" is the embodiment of read worship. There is however another matter whicL most not be ignored. Jost as a dyspeptic or any one oat of health may give us the blues if we come in contact with them, so if we are not in health it will give a sombre coloring to oar minis trations. We need a sound mind ia s sound body. If any one outside oar ca'Iing donbU this let them do our work for a month and they will alter their opiniun. We ought to be at oar best pLysically as well aa mentally. I know that when wears "weak we are strong," bat this paradox refers rather to oar in ner life than to oar public work. Let as conclude with the fact that s minister can only do Lis part in worship, the con jfregatioa assembled must do their?. How hard it is to minister tojthe indif ferent, to those who make no repoie. If the people knew how much it helps they would be more sympathetic as hear eisand worshipers. In my stuient day I Leard a man snore in church, and the sermon that was preached washy a mas ter in his line, but yet it had the fcvoa painiment cf a score. That discourse certainly was not sporitic the fault was not in tr.e pulpit, batjtlie pew. If there were l-lt-r Leareis there would be brighter preachers it is "like people 'ike priests."
