The lirst ia a sell-evident fact, but everybody does not agree about the latter. Aunt Lena, for instance, can find nothing attractive in my small face and big blue cyej, which she says are out of all proportion. She is papa's >i.ster, and almost young enough to be his daughter. There can be no question as to her good looks; everybody agrees that she is a magnifi cently handsome woman. Her eyes are large and dark, and her eyebrows and eyelashes sintplv perfect. Those eyes would make a plain face charming, I am sure. Yes, my aunt ha< the advantage of mein personal ap pearance, and I am ready to acknowl edge the fact cheerfully. We arc giving a i nnco this evening, and auntie, of course, will put me com pletely iu the shade. But if I make a few conquests she will be'as jealous as if I could rival her in beauty. She thinks I ought to be still in the school room, hut, fortunately for me, my father and mother are not of this opin ion. She is looking superbly handsome in her silken draperies, and I gaze at her with involuntary admiration. As I glance at her I become vaguely conscious that my father is piloting a stranger through the crowded rooms. It is a sin.11 affair, but onr rooms are not large. 1 have ju t dismissed my first part ner. but aunt is still talking to hers, which is the reason, perhaps, that, af ter being introduced, the new comer asks me to ^ive him the next dance. Godfrey Thornton s very pleasant, and dances exquisitely. He is rather pale and th n, but I like his face so much. He is ages older than I, I dare say; but, in my own mind, I admit that he Is none the worse for that Aunt looks at us curiously. I believe she thinks Mr. Thoruton is paying me too much attention. He cannot read the expression of her large, sleepy, eyes; but I can, and I know she is won dering what a man of intellect can find to snv to that little chit! •Your aunt is very handsome,” he says abruptly. •Indeed she is,” I answer with a smile; hut—shall I confess it?—for the first time In ray life 1 feel a little bit en vious of my aunt's beauty. And jet, although he dance with her later in the evening, he shares his at tentions so equally that my aunt can not boast of having made a conquest He has been verv nice, but nothing in his manner has betrayed the fact that he prefers Aunt Lena to me, as he most •t course. I can scarcely sleep that night; my mind is in such a tumult He pressed my hand at parting, but he had been very cordial to my aunt I remember, with a foolish thrill, that cannot sorely be jealousy. I am glad when morning comes, and after breakfast take up a shabby sun burnt hat and go into the garden. My aunt would not he seen In such a hat for the world, and gives me a gianoe of great disapproval as I go oat of the room. “You will bo sorry some day for let ting that girl fritter her time away a' she does,” I heard her say. “Her fcoi ned tion she re eived last night J.

He Is fond of his sister, but equally fond of his little girl. ’ If it were nol so, aud my annt Lena had the upper hand, my life would be anything but a bed of roses. There is an old apple-tree in the gar den. and 1 sit down under It and <Ioee my eyes In delightful solitude. A few momenta later I ojvcn them and spring np in confusion, for some instinct tells me I am no longer alone. Mr. Godfrey Thornton is looking at me with an expression of amusement in his face. “Good morning, Lena,” he says, taking off his hat and revealing nis nobly shaped head, which I cannot help admiring, in spite of my annoy ance. “Good morning,” I answer rather shortly; “aunt Is indoors.” “Thank you for theTnformation,” ho returns with a smile. “Why U she not in the garden on such a hot morning?” “Because she prefers to remain in the house.” I say. ‘I am sorry to hoar it,” he toils me. usne liked, t say; “but aunt does not care much for this old-fashioned garden.” “You do, though,” he says, throwing hiui'clf down on the grass. “Yes. I do, indsed, I answer read ily; “for it is a.ways foil of simple flow ers all the year round, and I Ilka flow ers better than anything else in (he world. It does not matter what they are—crocn-ea, primroses. Wallflowers, roses, daffodils, geranium.—I love them all. Look at the roses now,” pointing to the masses of green leases and sweet fragrant blossoms. “Could anything be more beautiful?” “I don't-know,” returned my visi tor, looking at me with a smile; “that is a matter of opinion. Your aunt, for instance, is better worth looking at than those roses, e cn. ” •‘Whv don’t yon go indoors and tell her so?’’ I cry rather pettishly. “I am sure she will be pleased to hear you say so, though she knows it so well.” “Well, I think I’ll takeyonr advioe,” he says, rising from his recumbent po sition; “bnt won’t you give me a rose before I go?" • You can pick as many as you like." I return. “Our gardener is not a des pot, as you can sec, by the way the flowers are allowed to run wild.” “But I only want one,” he says, and does not offer to pick it for himself. “Here, then." I say, breaking off a small and rather sickly-looking bud. “You can have this if you like.” He takes it with a su.lla, and walks aw ay with the rosebud in his hand. My face flushes as I look arfter him, con scious that I have acted in a very silly and childish mautier. Why did I not give him one of the roses that are blooming around me in such profusion? I do not go indoors until it is time for luncheon, and when, after washing my hands and putting on a clean collar and lace cuffs, 1 go downstairs, I find that M-. Thornton is in the dining room, sitting at the table with the others. “Lena is always late,” my aunt in forms him with an indulgent smile. “Now, Sis, I won’t have you telling tales out of school,” ray father says. Ho always calls her “Sis,” to uistin- guish her from me. She smiles serene ly and says, in that provoking way of hers: “But it is true, though, Mr. Thorn ton. She is always late for everything.” “Even for her dinner." he returns; and she laughs at his silly joke. 1 think Mr. Thornton is a hateful person, and I can’t imagine how I could nave thought him nice last night. It was because ho knew how to dance, I anppoae.. * After luncheon, he asks annt to walk in the garden, and as they are leaving the room together, invites mo to ac company them. I am going to say "No,” when, meeting my aunt’s eyes, I say “Yes" instead, out of aggrava tion. It is no pleasure for me to walk be side Mr. Thornton, while he addresses all his conversation to my aunt; but as she does not desire my company, I feel a certain kind of satisfaction in inflict ing it upon her. “You look like sisters,” Mr. Thorn ton says, suddenly turning to me. “How odd to have such a youthful aunt!” “I sometimes think Lena would like me better if I had the dignity of years upon me,” observes my aunt with a smile. “What a wilderness this garden is!” she adds, glancing round with her gentle disapproval “Yon like the geometrical style,” ob- terved Mr. Thornton; “candidly, I don’t I like a garden that is a garden ail the rear round.” “So do I;” and I unbend a little, for I have been looking stiff and as unlike myself as it is poeeible to be for the last ten minutes. “What in the world makes yon look to ill-tempered to-day?" Aunt Lena says. “My deer, yon are cross enough to drive Mr. Th ora ton away.” As if this were a hint Godfrey soon after turns and leaves us, end* she evi dently believes she has spoken the truth. Perhaps she has. I hate him, as I said before; but still, the idea that ha should fly from my presence gives me more pain that I care to acknowledge. I resolve to avoid him for the future, and contrive to do so lor the next few days. But he catches me one day Just as I am crossing the lawn, and, as he stands right in the path, I can't possibly avoid “Where are you off to, my pretty maid?” ke says. “What a hackneyed question!” Isay, lowering my red parasol so that he can't see my face. “Well, then, to speak in the plain language of everyday life, why do yoe run away from me? What have I done to offend you?” - “Nothing. I am sure you could not do less, could you?” and with a little bow I walk round him and continue on my way. A few days later my annt comes to my room with a radiant face. I am standing before my mirror brushing oat my rebellious locks, and she comes and stands jnst behind me, looking over my shoulder. r “Well?” I sey, knowing whatiscom- l-tsle “Does she not love this pretty, old- is it that she has “What is it?" 1 ask. happened? Father is all right?' paroxysm of tears, for I saw him ride off et six in the morning on a' spirited horse that no one else would due to mount “Your father is all right, child, ” sho returns; “he is downstairs. He oame back half an hour ago.” “Then, what is it?” “My dear," says mammi, who is all of a tremble, “it is your aunt who Is so hurt, so angry. “But why?’’ I cry in unmitigated surprise and bewilderment; “she seem ed so happy a short time sjro. What hat happened to anger her?” “Sho made a mistake,” returns my mother. “The letter that came this morning was not for hef. She ought to have Known It, too; for he would have addressed her as ‘Miss Lena Ver non’ not ‘Miss Vernon.’ You are the eldest daughter of the house.” "Whom was it for, then?” I ask breathlessly. "Was it for me?” Yes, it was for me. He had loved me all the time. I am a happy wo man, indeed, when he clasps me in his arms and tells me so with his dear voice. My aunt has never forgiven me, I am sorry to say, but! do not parade my sppiness before her. I am more mer ciful to her than she was to me in her brief moments of triumph. —- ■ • ^ i Twenty-Seven Years on HU Back.

How It Differs from Winter Engl and. After Thanksgiving, winter. - In the Atlantic states, east of the Hndaon, rood sleighing Is expected at this date. Here notning more than a few white frosts indicate the winter has come. There have been frosts in the lowlands during the paet week. Last night the frost crept up on the hillside a little^ The crystals lay on the plank sidewalks in the suburbea towns, and sparkled ns the rays of the rising sun touched them. For s moment or two there were mill ions of diamonds, then smell drops of water, and then nothing. But the frbst* makes crisp mornings, and a coal or wood fire most enjoyable morning, aud evening—the wood fire especially. Moreover, the frosts help to color the foliage, although in this country the deciduous trees drop the greater pert of their foliage before the frosts come. The soft maples, elms, white birches, and locust trees, whieh have been nat» uralised hers, for the most pert, here cut th^desves. Yet the maples take on a w4mh of color before the leaves fall;so the frosts do not do all the color ing. Even the eucalyptus, which oasts its leaves at midsummer and continues dropping them until late in the au tumn. has a wealth of oolor which is hardly noticed. The coniferous trees prevail so largely in California that the nigh colors of deoidoous trees which grow on the hillsides and mountain slopes of eutern states are rarefy seen here. Yet in every dell after the first frosts have come In this latitude, one may find patches of oolor shading off from gold to scarlet, with a great many subdued tones, which artists, who are good colorists, do not fail to notice. The first rains have already oome. But the winter rains have not yet ap peared. There is a sort of hush between the autumn and winter. If one goes to tho wood, he will hear hardly any oth er sound than that of the heron *mi obstreperous bluejay. Hero and there will be a tapping on the trunks, and an occasional squlnei descends to see what provision in the way of acorns there may yet bo left on the ground. In the open, where the ground Is soft, there are the tracks of the sneaking coyotf. Even owls oease in a measure to hoot in the winter season, and the mournful sound of doves has altogether ceased. A great silence has fallen npon the woods. There is hardly a singing bird. The linneto in the soburban gardens, which two months ago were so active In feasting on tbs ripe fruit, beginning even earlier with cherries, and contin uing until the last ripe pear had disap peared, have become silent also. No more songs and no more depredations, for the good reason that there is noth ing to steal, and the pairing Season has not begun. The white frosts are the fitting Introduction of winter. They precede the heavier ralfcs. The trade winds have died oat They will not prevail in this latitude before the tnidole of next May. Some are un kind enough to say that It Is a pity that they should ever prerail But these winds are the Lord's scavengers, sent up as so many messengers from the •alt ocean to deliver the city from plagues and pestilenoe.
