It was ten o'clock, yet Alice Weston
still sat in her Utile dressing room, her
head resting on her h-tnd, and on ivory
comb glistened amidst the loosened tresse?.
A fifty dollar bill lay on the table, with
which she intended to purchase a winter
bonnet and pelisse. It had been bestowed
that morning by hot father, cad she would
have noticed the reluctance with which it
was granted, but she was absorbed by the
attempt to decide whether a certain I'di.r
Morris would prefer a pink or a whit.;
hat. She w is still busied with the- impor
tant question; but in vain she r.msackr d

So saying, she finished drcsM.tg, glanced
contemptuously at her last year's boniut,

The gentlemen parled, leaving Alice
