[cowrinump.) - My wardrobe vegan to look scanty, bat, al- tmocen Amelia Monkton and the three Allans enreied at my on- evening dress, I should ney- er have thought of askingmamms forany thing. Mrs. Renton mast have hinted to her the pro- j ‘priety of sending me some more garments, for -s on after she had added a postscript to ove of | wil my letters, I received ® handsome silk, cherry and ck, beautifully trimmed with lace;@ | maroon-colored merino, with nice velvet rio: bons, and a etont walking drece, with extrava- Uy Deavy boots. Amelia and her compan- fens sneered again at my Phe for a ‘winter cem paign, bat Mr. » Who drop- ; + ped into Renton’s private sitting-room white she wae looking at the articles, exclaim. | €6, Dpon sering the boots, that they were just | the things I peeded and that he would ask me to try them in en excureion to the Orags, ahigh biufi which commanded a lovely landscape. Accordingly, the next morning, he made up a ty for walking, but he led us—p ly I “Paxcsince fascertained—through such tiresome | paths, avd over such wearisome hiils, that ey- | ery body were full ct compiaints except An- gélica and I, and aiter that he politely set ihe Tret aeide. because Mr. Crofton was at once so eens and | | Zocnter‘aining. lt was delightfal to listen to the tne poety and epicy execdotes amid the cha:ming scenery through which we passed, | aud abhough I could add but little from my | own stcres tothe conversation, yet lam sure +My face must have expressed the pleasure | which I receiyed.

She isn’t absurd, and heien't ridiculous,” replied Coprad. «She is a bright little thing, | Bbomely to be sure, hut perfecily anassumiag apd gcod-patured almost to a fault; and he, I imagine, is gind to come across one ‘of the sex who dcesn't flatter him, and who doesn’t say *yes’ eternally to his remarks and propositions, - however extravagant they may be.” “ At apy rate if isn’t right for him to be so ex- clusive in his attentions.
