MY COUSIN EDITH.
I spoke seriously lo Edith.
"I think you ero behaving disgrace?
fully."
She ooked up. She was scratching
Hie gravel on my aunt's garden path
with the pointed end ef her parasol.
She chose to wilfully misinterpret my
words.
"It will all roll in again. I think the
gardner wanta exercise."
"Frod," I went on severely, "ia not
a roan tobe played with,"
"I don't play with him. His screw
is too feeble for words."
"I am not referring to tennis. Fred,
I repeat, is too good to bo flirted with
in the outrageous way you are doing."
"I don't flirt,"
"You ito, Edith. T^uiet ?omou it waa
I, after thai"?
"Ob, that was not flirting; it aaa
cousinly aflection. Besides, you don't
oount."
"It i-i Ibo Barao thing. Fred is too
Borious"?
"And therefore shouldn't bo taken
seriously."
"Ind you aro making bim believe
that you caro for him."
"Perhaps I do."
"You don't. Frod is not the sort of
man you would like."
"1 am nob sure. I like bim some?
times?when ho is away. He is a very
restful man to think about."
"It ii impossible for you to care for
? man"?
"Thank you. You are abominably
rude."
?"who is fond of Stuart Mill." I
trent on calmly.
"I didn't know he was. He never
talk* about it."
"I should think," I mused judicially,
'tbat bo can talk about nothing else,
What can ho say!"
"Oh, ibo usual sort of thing?-vi-ry
much tho same as you used to."
"Fred never struck me as being par?
ticularly poetical."
.'Were you poetical!" ahe inquired
nnoceutly. 1 disregarded the question.
"As your cousin I am bound to speak
seriously to you, Edith."
"As my cousin you aro privileged to
)c rude."
'It iB tho fato of good intentions to
ne misunderstood."
"They shouldn't raisquorade ai a
udeness."
"Fred is"? I went on.
"Very wearisome."
"Tben why do you oncourago him."
[ asked triumphantly.
"I don't encourage him. I don't
,hink any of them want encouraging. I
:an't help it if?if thay think I'm nice,
ian I!"
"It is not kind"?
"To be nice?"
"To make a man think you really
are?and be laughing in your sloevo
ill tho while."
"My sleeves are tight thia year."
"If you roally like him"?
"How do you know I don't!"
"It would be difterent. I should aay
lothiog. Aa it is, it ia disgraceful."
"Suppose I do care for him?"
"You don't. You said he bored
-ou."
"You all do; but I like some."
"1 really think you have no heart,
Sdiih. Poor Fred will be awfully let
lown. There waa Obarlia last month"?
ta*.
"His ha r curled?Jo you remombti
how his bair curled?"
"Curlj hair in a man ii effeininat",''
I saidj Mino was quito straight.
"Never mind Charlie, let us talk
about Fi ed, lam got ing quite fond
of bim, I baveu'i seen bim all day."
"I wi*h you Would be .serious. It is
rca ly limo you began to loos at li'e
soberly. You are no longer a girl."
"Have you seeu a gray hair?" she
asked anxiously.
"is your cousin and a man of some
experience"?
?'Dear me! Why didu't you tell mo
tbat before!"
"I am throe your* ol der lhan you. A
man gather-; a great d eal moro know?
ledge of tbe world than a woman."
"That is why women are so charm?
ing."
"Not aH women are channing."
?'That is so," she assented musingly;
?'Constance JDroury, f jr instance."
"Miss Droury is a particularly vi ell
informed gill." 1 rather liked Con?
stance; she appreciated my poems
Not every girl haa tbe power to appre?
ciate my poems.
"Yes, about the failings of her
friends."
"They at least are failings."
"She say6 so."
"You are ill natured. I hope.Editb,
you are not jealous in temperament."
"Of Constance? Certainly not."
She answered my implied question,
not my verbal one. I knew by that
thatshe was hurl.
"Miss Droury is very popular."
"Fred hates her. I think she's well
meaning but unfortunate."
?'I was not thinking of Fred."
"No, you were thinking of yourself,"
Edith had a disagreeable habit of
reading one's thoughts?t^o be more
; correct, of reading my thought*. Some
times it verged upon indecency.
"We are getting away from the ques?
tion," I said severely". I want to spea k
to you seriously about your flirtation
with Fred.'
"I deny the flirtation."
"Then it is serious?"
She did not answer. She wore a
personal blue. There aro some blues
which belong to the nniverso,and there
tare some which belong to person.
This blue belonged essentially to Edith.
I liked it. I liked ul so the way she had
done her hair. I had told her of it
two days ago. lt suddenly struck me
that her adoption of it was a delicate
compliment to me. I liked compliments
?delicate compliments. Besides, Fred
was not tbe man to make Edith happy.
On tho whole I don't think he was the
man to make any woman happy,
'?Do you think you are making a wise
choice, Edith?" I went on,
"Isn't that a matter for my own con?
sideration!"
"I am your nearest male relative"?
Edith was an orphan, which was a
blesiing?"you have practically no one
to look to but youn elf. Of course your
happiness is a grave responsibility."
"Just now it was poor Fred's appe?
tite or heart or something. You must
be very busy looking after other
people's concern?."
"It is so easy to make a mistake."
"He is very fond of me."
"I don't think you are tbe girl to en?
joy a divided affection with Stuart
Mill."
"I prefer a division with Stuart Mill
to one with Constance Droury."
"No one," I said, with the air of j
making a confession, "could think of
making a division between you and
Miss Droury."
"I should hope not," she said quick?
ly.
"Miss Droury is pretty"?
"Jf you like big eyes and a Billy
mouth."
'?Her mouth is sweet not silly."
"Oh, of course, if you think sillinosa
Bweet, there is an end to it."
"But Bhe cannot compare with you.*
"Thanks."
"She is Tery amusing."
"One is always amused at ill natured
gossip."
"But her conversation lacks the spar?
kle of yours."
"You are very good."
"I like to be impartial. You havo
jrour faults"?
"Of course!" she conceded.
'?You are jealous."
'?That is absurd 11 was never jealous
of anyone in my life."
"Vain."
"You are unbearably rudel I am not
vain. I don't think half enough of
myself. Fred said only yestesday"-?
"Never mind Fred."
"I thought you were reading me a
lecture for not minding bim. Go on
with my faults."

"But in spite of your faults you can
be very oioe."
"Tbat at %U events ia very consoling.
Fred will have some recompense."
"But what has he got to do with it."
I queried.
"My dear cousin. I have been touch?
ed by your pathetic appeals on his be
jhalf."?
"I have not appealed on his behalf.
I have simply pointed out the wrong
you are doing Lita by flirting with
him."
?"and have como to the conclusion
to regard it no longer ss a msre flirts*
tion"?
"You ean't be really serious?"
?"and to permit the new aspect to
apply in a retrospective as well as in a
prospective character."
"This ii* folly, Edithl"
"For your sake and to lighten your
burdens of responsibility. It is wisdom.
You look quite careworn."
?'If you would only talk sense!"
"And your cigar has gone ont?
really, I had no idea thtt you would
take my peccaddlo so seriously.''
"You can't mean it, jou know. It _
impossible, Edith."
My dear oousio, do you really think
me so graceless? ks you say, you are
my tearest male relative, and you
must know best."
"But Fred?he is outjof the ques?
tion."
"The difference of three years is very
great. You have three years' accumu?
lated wisdom. I feel tbat my happi?
ness is quite safe in your hands. '
"But it won't be in my hands?it
will be in Fred's."
??They are fairly strong."
"Tenderness as well as strength ll
required. Happiness is so fragile."
"But you certainly hinted that I was
not capable of taking caro of myself.
Fred seemed to be the only caret il" .r
offering at present."
"Don't you think you had better give
it into my keeping? I seem to be the
proper guardian."
