"But how can you possibly please
them if you wear silk dretjes And curl

I don't know; pe'hnps I aha'n't; but
I'm going to try. And I know I never
ahould please anybody if I left my hair
straight;" and the pretty Cambridge
belle thought to herself that it would be
a pity, indued, if alio, who had olwavs
pleased everyliody without trying, could
not pleoso Hubert's relatives if alto did
try.
But this visit to Robert's relative was
naturally contemplated with even moro
than the usual trembling excitement of
the young fiance. For Roliert'e father
And mother and sitters were all Quakers,
with traditions and beliefs and cubtotus
According to which they ought to con
template with horror and distress this
union of their only son and brother with
a worldling. And such a worldling!
8uch a fascinating combination of laugh-
, ing eyes and merry lips and curling hair
And tinkling bangle and rustling long
ilk aklru and coquettish bonnets and
Mwildoring laces and ribbons and little,
slippers. Oh, door 1 oh, d. -"V w they

, Bhe was vary anxioua. tede.' tn i.
w.nooa with this aaixious
.-desire to please was a quite unconscious,
though equally firm, determination not
to win their affection by concessions.
Not so much A3 tlto bow of a slipper
would she offer up on the shrino of do
votion to Robert's relation. Worldly
Alio was; worldly she would be sure
to remain; and it was best that they
Ahould understand from the first that
Abe was thoroughly addicted to silk,
satin und bice whenever she could get it.
But bho had a faint hope Uiat, or.ee
brought iu contact with her worldliness,
they would find it ple.nantor than thev
thought. V.'hyuotif Bho had conquered
Robert; why should alio nut conquer
themf Robert hod not fallen iu lovo
with her in spite of her airs and graces;
he had fallen in love with the uirs and
graces themselves. Ho had often told
her so. Ho hod repeatedly jointed out
the particular little curl over her adora
ble forehead that had firtt won his at
tention, and had Assured her that it was
a certain bit of lovely lace about her
throat that had completed his subjuga
tion. And that dear little curl was not
only a curl, but was a boughtoa curl,
held in its place by hairpins, and as fic
titiously wordly as a curl could possibly
bo. True, Robert was not exactly a
Quaker; be was only a descendant of
Quakers. He had not definitely re
nounced the world, Although thero clung
to him, from the force of heredity And
training and circumstances, a cer
tain gravo demeanor and atmos
phere of earnestness. lie did not
dance; he did not even want to dance;
but he did not exactly disapprove of other
people dancing if anybody did choose to
indulge in so foolish a caprice; And on
the evening when ho had been lured by a
friend to one of the Cambridge 'as
semblies," and had met thero his imme
diate, unquestionable, Irrehlstiblo, worldly
little fate, he had even felt suddenly a
sort of impotent rage with himself at not
being able to dance. True, he didn't
wont to dance any more than he ever
did; but then, sho wanted to dance, and
how could he ever please her if ho
couldn't do exactly the things sho did?
Still, he had pleased linr, and with very
little effort; for the quiet, earnest youth
was tall And very handsome, And would
graduate with honors; in consideration
of which Attractions his earnestness might
Okaily be forgiven, even, indeed, if the
earnestness itself had not a certain charm
of iU own, as at least a novelty. So, if Rob
ert had pleased her, And she had pleased
Robert, unlike each other, as theT were.
And everybody Acknowledged that it was
a perfect love match on both aides, why
might it not be possible that sho would
please Robert's relationuf though not so
wmku as a slipper bow would she sacrl-
from her pleasant worldlinesa to

sion with A wild instinct that it would be
bent for Robert's relatives to know the
worst at once, so that any possiblo con
cessions to bo made afterward, though
bhe would not yet acknowledge the pos
sibility of connemion, would strike them
in tho light of unexpected improvement,
"but my trunk hasn't come; so if you
could lend me a pencil!"
I I am afraid I have noslatc pencil,"
faltered Esther.
"Well, a pipe would do; haven't you
a pipo handle? Junt A common white
pipe, such as Iho cliildren have for soap

"If thee will wait A moment I will
eee," said tho discreet Esther.
Edith in the meantimo mnde her way
back to her own room and waited in
su.iienae, while EHther went slowly down
stairs, questioning her conscience, and
yet very loath todisnppoint the little witch
who was depending upon her. Sho had
made up her ndnd to be very tolerant of
the woridlinem of Robert's fiance, but to
be suddenly callod upon to aid and abet
her in it, was almost more than could be
reasonably expected of her, even by Rob
ert. And yet it would bo so unfortunate
to begin tho visit with a family jar! Mi
had a terriblo consciousness that there
was a pipe in the house -Richard, her
litllo nephew, hail had it for ooap bub
bles only the week before and to tell o
lie, even a whito lie, nnd permit lieiself
to be unnblo to find it, was something
moro terriblo to Esther's conscience than
even conniving nt a curl. As it hap
pened, however, r!i ie:i!ly could not find
it. Herts won cei1;ir.!;' r-ufUcieul excuse
for going lack empty h:tnlod ; and yet,
and yet when sho camo to the foot of
the 6tairs. Esther, instead of goin u,
turned nsido into tho kitchen.
"Bridget, could theo wparo a moment
to go acroets to the corner grocery and
get mo a pipt a common whito clay

"A pipe, is it?" aiid tho wondering
Rrid'et.

such as Richurd had for his play."

cither sldo. I only wish you had been
hero with your detcctivo camera to get
an instantaneous picturo of tbu two girlj
when Edith opeui-d the door and Esther
handed her the pipo."
, As Edith had confidently exported, it
was tho first of ti lon.-r oories of viutoried
over Robert's relations, vliich she gained,
not by trampling down their prejudices
under tho high heels of her French
slippers, but by quietly teaching them to
lilio her ju:it as ebo was. tiho had an
hitluito amount of t!io gracious tact
which comes with a certain kind of aris
tocratic, high bred woildliness, nnd hhe
was at heart a niobt wiuninjrly udwtion
ute and true hearted girl, llud ebo Ijeen
merely a worldling, tlio French clippers
would not have fought for her or con
quered her enemies, but Robert's rela
tions mado the surprising discovery that
a really sweet hearted creaturo remains
sweet even on hi.h heels; and lcforo a
week was over Edith was tho acknowl
edged ruler of tho entire household.
It was even decided in family conclave
that it would do to give her what, in tho
worldly world, would bo known at a
"reception." They had uo Idea of doing
this in looking forward to her visit. It
was felt that it would bo concession
enough for them to consent to receive as
a visitor into the bosom of their own
family the young woman who had disap
pointed their fondest hopes for the se
curity of Robert's future. To havo their
friends to meet her, to see her in tho full
blazo of her effrontery of long silk gown
and perhaps evon of diamonds, would be
to advertise their sliamc, tho disgrace of
tho entire family, in a way not to be con
templated for a moment. They would
endure, but they would not publiHh to
the world the fact of what they were
called upon to euduro.
And yet and yet at tho end of a
fortnight preparations wero on hand for
all their friends to conio and co this
wonderful Edith, with full knowledge on
tho part of tho family that Edith would
undoubtedly surpass all her previous
efforts on this occasion in the art of deco
ration. Edith, however, had her Own
plans. On the evening before tho solemn
entertainment, she slipped up stairs, took
off all her bangs, brushed her hair down
perfectly smooth and straight over her
little ears, twisting it very plainly be
hind, and then drew from her trunk a
little, gown of pale gray cashmere, reach
ing barely to her ankles, and without a
rulHo or u fold, except the fewest possible
1laits at the waist, and absolutely guilt
ots of ornamentation of any kind. A
tiny scarf of .white illusion was crossed
over her breast, and her contemplated
toilet was complete. Nevertheless, sho
surveyed herself in the glass with evident
dissatisfaction.
' "Dear me, momma, it Isn't half so bad
as I thought it would be. I meant to
look like a fright, and after all it's rather
effective If I were dressed for privato
theatricals I should think myself im
mense. Oh, dear I suppose they should
like mo best this way after all !"
It was a sorrowful blow to her hopes
on thin trump card to find herself still
exceedingly pretty, Bho was irfectly
conscious of a certain piquant charm in
bor novel appearanco that might undo
her after all. Still she would run tho
risk. Sho was a perfect little actress.

Robert's complete subjugation after his
nrst vision of her loveliness at tho Har
vard Assemblies, it was supplied when be

S.) tho battlo wn-3 won, nnd tho result
proved that Edith was quite able to con
quer, not only RoWt'a relations, but
Robert's relations' friends. When, a
year later, ahe camo back to th m again
as a brido, thero was but ono thing left
for her to conquer. Robert hail prepared
her for a possiblo visit from idcrl7

Among tho wealthy men residing in

tho piece represented years of patient ap

however, the whole thing was produced
in a few liours, and at small expense, by
tho new proceja of plating, tho invention
of a Frenchman. Each bronsco llower

The ring among astrologers was a f.ivor
ito means of divining tbo future. It v.as
suspended by a hair in tbo middln of a
cup known as the draining cup. Ques
tions were asked and the ring tupped tbo
sides of the goblet in answer, but as tlio
hand of tho astrologer held the b iir to
which the ring was fastened, perhaps
there was not so much divining in thu
us tho credulous supposed. All astrol
ogers, however, had ut leai-t neven magic
rings; ono for tho sun, a diamond Fet ia
'old; another for tbu moon, a crystal in
nilvcr; a third for Mercury, a load .li no
iu silver; a fourth for Venus, an iinnlli vr t
iu copper; a lift U for Mars, nn emerald ia
Iron; u fcix'.li for Jiq iU-r, a cornelian i:i
tin; a seventh for r-aturn, a turquoise i.i
lead. Many nstrologeri had u r.oilmc ring,
or ring exhibiting in its setting nil the
Mgns of tho zodiac, tho general fffoct Is;
ing that of a calendar or old fashioned
idmaiiue. Charm rings nro cIjj very
ccrumoii even in Liter times. Henry Vlll
had so much confidence iu a ring which
belonged to Thomtia a Docket that he
had it set as n thumb ring and wore it
