BY ROSE TERRY COOKE 'You don't say so?" Grandma Pine lookod sharply over her spectacles at pretty Nanny Camp bell, who sat at her feet on an old fashioned "cricket," the blaze of the open fire playing on her bright blush ing face, and lending a richer shade of gold to the crown of fluffy hair that hid her white forehead. Nanny had come up to Traverse to spend Thanksgiving with her grand parents. She came the day before, but her father and mother could not; leave till the next .morning. Dr. Campbell was too busy a man to spare more than a day from his practice; and Nanny was glad to come alone, for she bad a great piece of news to tell grandma. Yes, with a deeper glow than the firelight on her droop ing face, she imparted the wonderful intelligence that she was engaged to Jack Nortou, and was going to be married on Christmas. Now grand ma was not really much surprised, for Jack Norton was the son of Dr. Camp bell's oldest and best friend, and the children had known each other always. Grandma, with the forecasting wisdom of old ladies, had prophesied to herself this result years ago, yet she thought she was surprised to find her prophecy fulfilled. Perhaps it never would have been had Nanny and Jack lived next door to each other always; but when they were yet children Mr. Norton had left left Ridgefield aud gone to Boston to live. And Jack, moreover, had been sent to Germany for his preparatory studies, aud to England for his col legiate education, so he was as a stran ger when he came home to share his father's business; aud when he saw pretty Nanny, who had blossomed from a plain angular little girl into a lovely young woman, he fell in love with her after the good old fashion, and she returned his passion with all the faith and fervor of a girl's first serious affection. They had been engaged several months, but Nanny had not announced the fact to any but her father and mother. She was both shy and cau tious, so she waited to tell grandma until the wedding day was set. Grandma was ready with congratula tions; yet, as she drew the fair youag head down to her knee and stroked the bright hair with tremulous fingers, she sighed, for she had lived too long not to dread life for the child she loved so well. "I'm kinder pleased," she confided to grandpa, in that "grand committee of two" which married people hold on matters that interest them or their neighbors, "and I'm kinder distressed too. I don't like his bein' a lawyer; 't never seemed as though 'twas a re liable business, nor one thet a real honest, straightforrard man could fol ler." "Well," said grandpa, thoughtfully, "you've got to take things by and large, Elviry by and large. The's some lyin' in all business. You don't sell all the big p'tatoes nor all the sound apples in the same barrel ef you're farmer, nor you don't tell a man how old your critters be not to a day. Do you s'pose Tatum sells his dry-goods and groceries ou the square always? Don't we get poor drugs for high prices down to Dean's? An' come to fine it down, Parson Pitcher don't write a sermon every week, now I tell ye. There's suthiu' bad to every thing; 'tain'ta heaven on earth down to Bosting, no more'n 'tis here to Tra verse." "Well, I don' know as 'tis," replied grandma with a sigh; "but anyhow I wish 't she wasn't goiu' to be married in December." And while Nauny was bustling round in the kitchen the next morn ing, stirring cold milk into the Indian pudding that to-day had the great oven to itself, basting the huge tur key in the roaster, garnishing the tongues, keeping an eye ou the chick en pie that stood on a tripod in the chimney coaner to keep it hot after it had been drawn from the aforesaid oven, and doing for grandma all the little odds and ends that are so much work for old people and so little for young ones, grandma was revolving in her mind certain good Counsels for the girl, which might or might not be accepted and acted upon; for grand ma had old-fashioned ideas. She spoke at last, her fingers meanwhile busy paring potatoes for the pot that stood bubbling to receive them: "So you're goin' to be married Christmas Day, be you, Nanny?" "No, dear Christmas Eve." "Seems pretty cold time for a wed din1," said grandma, taking up anoth er potato. "Well, yes. Jack would not wait till June, when I wanted to have it; he said he never believed in long en gagements. And mother thinks just so; that is, where people have known each other as long as Jack and I have.'" "Goin' to be married in church. I s'pose?" "Ob yes; and then a reception. Now you and grandpa must come down; I want you to promise." "We're a'most too old and too rheu maticky, Nanny, to go junketin' round in midwinter' "No, you're not not a bit. The cars are warm, and mother 11 have a fire in your room; aud it's going to be such a pretty wedding! Six bride maids, granny; all of them pretty girls, too, in low dresses of lace and pink satin, with roses and short veils of tulle. They'll look just lovely. And Dr. Adams you remember Everett Adams, who studied with father he's to be best man." "Land!" ejaculate grandma. "JT should think that Jack would be the best man amongst 'em." "Well,", laughed Nanny, with a blush that would have been the pre c;se tint for her bridemaids' dresses, "7 think he is; but that isn't what they call him." "And what is 'low' dresses?" queried grandma. "Oh, low-necked, and with no sleeves; just a strap across the shoul der, you know." "Good gracious!" exclaimed the old lady, looking over her spectacles with a glare of horror. "I should think that was 'low'! Dreadful low too. They'd ought to be 'shamed o' their selves !" "Why, gran', it's the fashion." "I don't care nothing about that, child; it ain't decent, nor it ain't pret ty. Who wants to see them girls' bones? and girls in these days haven't got much more'n skin and bones. Mabbe that young doctor may like studyin' of 'em, and seein' how the jints work; but I should ruther be a dead skeleton than a live one, if I was a-goin' to be studied by a young doc tor." "Grandma, I do think you're dread ful! Why, Alice Brooks has got neck and arms like a baby; and Rosina Leavitt's are lovely too, if she is a lit tle dark." "Well, anyway, I call it cruelty to animals to hev them girls go out in that condition of a cold winter's night into a big draughty church. Be you goin' 'low' tow?" "Oh no! It's not the fashion for brides. I'm goin' to have white satin, high to the throat and down to the wrists, with beautiful lace all about it." "I guess your pa wouldn't let you go any other way," dryly remarked grandma. "I guess he'd have to, if 'twas the fashion," pouted Nanny. "Well, fools ain't all dead yet," re torted grandma, with some severity. "When I was married 'twas daylight, and to home. Eben and me was going down to Boston for a spell ; he was in old Silas Bunker's store then. I had on a dark blue cloth habit with frogs onto it, and a big Leghorn bonnet with a white feather, real long and curly, an' some red roses under the the front on't. 'Twas warm an' sen sible for a ride in September, and our folks thought I looked consider'ble well." The old lady's keen dark eyes and delicate aqniline profile, though the waved hair was now snow white, and the small mouth had lost its color and fulness, made Nanny acquiesce in "our folks verdict. "I guess 3'ou looked just lovely, grandma; but " "Say! here's the doctor!" screamed Thankful Bangs, who was setting the table for dinner, and Nanuy's speech never was finished, for she and grand ma rushed out to meet the welcome guest. Two hours after, when the dinner had been discussed and the guests were picking out their walnuts and butter nuts, the never-failing last course at Traverse for a Thanksgiving dinner, Mrs. Campbell said, suddenly, "Oh, Nanny! I quite forgot. Here's a little note that came for you after you left." Nanny took the envelop, and after the fashion of women eyed it on the outside, turned it over and examined the seal, and then re-turned it and in spected again the direction and the postmark. "Seems to me it would be a quicker way to find out who wrote it if you opened it," remarked Dr. Campbell. Nanny laughed, and broke the seal. "Ob dear!" she said, after running through the brief missive. "Isn't this provoking! It is Alida Van Alstyne. Just hear: " 'My Dear Nanny I have orly found out to-day that your "maids" intend to wear low dresses. I never have given in to that style yet, but if I could sacrifice what you would call my prejudices and I call my principles on any occasion, or for any one, it would be now for you. However, I have a threatening cold, which I must nurse, and perhaps you will remember that I had pneumonia last winter, so I cannot, for my health's sake, wear anything but a high-necked and long sleeved dress. Now I shall not feel at all aggrieved if you drop me from the company of bridemaids on this-account; but 1 want you to let me know just as soon as possible, so that I may or may not engage Madame Delano. " 'Yours lovingly, " 'Alida Van Alstyne.' "Isn't it too bad !" exclaimed Nanny, as she laid down the note. "To good to be true," growled the doctor. "What shall I do?" asked Nanny, looking about her in a sort of mild despair. "She's my intimate friend, and was going to be first bridemaid; she's such a nice contrast to me, and I'm so fond of her! And she's sent me the loveliest present I've had such a set of pale pink coral and pearls! Oh dearl" "I should think she'd got some sens,', put in grandma. ul don't see why you want to make your weddin' a killin' business to all them poor young cretnrs." "That's just it, mother," said the doctor, putting down the red apple he was quartering. "Last winter there was just such another wedding in De cember. All those girls had to ride a mile to the vestry of St. Paul's; form there, and tramp round to the front door of the church; drop their wraps off at the door, "where the cold wind struck their bare chests and shoulders; stand twenty minutes at the altar; rida back that mile; and stand up all the evening at a reception so crowded that the windows had to be dropped from the top to prevent as phyxia; and then at midnight drive back to their homes, the thermometer being six below zero. There were six bridemaids there; two had pneumonia within the week; one had acute bron chitis; another, tonsilitis; the other two, being tough or casehardened, escaped with severe colds. So much for loic dresses at a church wedding!" "Nanny wasn't one of 'em ?" asked grandma, anxiously. "No; she went to the wedding, but by vigorous researches into possibili ties of fashion I discovered that young women do sometimes wear what they call V-shaped necks to their dress a a fashion that only exposes the most sensitive part of their lungs both in front and the back. However, Madame Delano, the autocrat of our city dress-makers, is a patient of mine, and I held counsel with her; so Mistress Nan went to that party in a very pretty as well as a respectable gown, for I had Madame 'fill in,' as she called it, that absurd piece-of-pie shaped neck with thick satin covered with costly lace; and there were actual sleeves to the gown, short, to be sure, but long kid gloves met them, so my daughter's person was not on exhibi tion like Barnum's 'fat lady' that night, and she was consoled for being decent and warm against her will by the expensive lace, and some new bracelets." "Oh, papa!" exclaimed Nan. "That is just so, my dear; and when you come home did you not find a cup of hot broth waiting for you ? and a fire in your room ? Who do you think ordered that?" Nan looked at her father with dimmed eyes, and blew a kiss at him across the table: she just began to realize the care that had surrounded here all her days. But she must answer that note. "What shall I say to Alida 'mamma?" Mrs Campbell was a quiet, sweet, motherly woman; but, more sympa thetic than the doctor, so better understood how powerful fashion is with girls how few have strength of character to withstand its stringent if absurd demands. "I don't think you can drop her, Nauny," she said. "I think that would be unkind and needless. She is to be first bridemaid, and therefore stand next to you; and as you are to wear a high dress, her's will not be as conspicuous as if she were among the others. I agree entirely with your father, and I am glad it was not your suggestion that the rest should wear low dresses." So the matter was settled, and in due time the wedding came off. It was a pretty wedding, as Nanny had assured grandma it would be; but the old people of Traverse did not come down for it: the snow lay deep over all the country, the thermometer sank to depths unusual even in New Eng land, and keen winds swept across the shining drifts that seemed to pierce the heaviest clothing. "We love ye just as much, dear," wrote grandma, "as though we come to see you married; but we're old folks, and the weather is consider'ble cold for anybody to be out in; and he is threatened some with sciatiky, so we dursn't resk it. So we send you a little matter to buy a weddin' present with, bein' you're all the gran'child we've got, and do ye get somethin' real useful or comfortable with it for to remember your very lovin' grandpa and grandma." A check for five hundred dollars fell from the letter. "Oh!" exclaimed Nanny. "Now I can have a seal-skin ! I didn't want to ask father for it." While the bridal procession was forming; I am afraid even at the altar; certainly at the after reception the "best man" was observed by a dis interested spectator to turn his eyes very often upon Alida Van Alstyne. No wonder; she was a very lovely girl, and to-night was at her best; the delicate rose satin that clothed her stately lithe figure up to her throat and down to her wrists shone like a pale sunsent through the filmy lace that was draped over it and caught up with blush roses; where the lace crossed her bosoms in soft fold from either shoulder a bunch of the same roses nestled, and the frill of rich lace that stood up about her throat was held in place apparently by a collar of silver filigree, ti.De as frost work, clasped by a rose of pink coral in whose heart sparkled a diamond dew-drop; the short veil that rested on her coronet of dark hair was held by a rose and its bud; the whole dress was exquisite. And best of all, a warm natural color lit her fine face, and she looked as she felt, comfortable and at ease. But the others poor souls, how could they help it? where pinched with could: their cheeks colorless, their pretty noses absolutely blue; and Rosina Leavitt could not smother with her utmost efforts and her lace handkerchief the incessant little cough that made Dr. Campbell knit his forhead and stir uneasily in his seat, for he knew the girl had a sad inheritance of blood: her mother came of a consumptive family. Dr. Everett Adams did not forget his admiration for the "first bride maid" when this weddings was over. He became more and more devoted, and the next September society in B was pleased but not surprised to hear his engagement to Miss Van Alstyne announced. By a rather odd coincidence their wedding too was fix ed for Christmas Eve. Alida Van Alstyne was very wealthy, if she was very sensible. She had as many "maids" to attend her as Nanny Campbell, and she gave them their dresses. They were of rose satin too, but made high in the neck and long sleeved, the quaintly cut basques trimmed with white fur, abroad band of its edging the short full skirts; poke bonnets of the same satin wreath ed with short white ostrich tips, and bunches of white roses on the left shoulder, completed the charming and warm costumes. Not one among the pretty group had ever looked so pretty or been more comfortable. And the bride was lovelier than ever in her close robe of spotless stain, with no sparkle of jewel or glitter of gold about her, but profuse white roses garlanding from throat to hem her long dress, and a crown of them fastening the veil of Mechlin that was all the drapery that fell over the solid moonlight folds of her train. Mrs. Jack Norton looked on from a chancel pew, and thinking of her own wedding, gave a silent sigh to poor Rosina Leavitt, sleeping in her Southern grave. That troublesome little cough had done its work. She had taken cold in the Church, and gone down to death so fast no human power could stay her steps. "Do you know what first 'fixed my young affection' on you, as the novelists say, Alida?" asked Dr. Adams, as he sat with his bride on the walls of the old fort at St. Agustine two weeks after their wedding. "I suppose it was my beauty," she answered, with a look and laugh of coquettish mischief, for Everett Adams had always said that he never could or would marry any woman merely for her good looks. "No, indeed, madame. Though I don't deny the self-evident fact of your ladyship's loveliness. But the first thing that attracted me was your sensible and comfortable dress at Mrs. Norton's wedding. If the other bridemaids had only known how pinched and forlorn they looked, how little those bare arms and necks were admired by the spectators, it would have taught them some things. But you were blooming and radiant and your dress far handsomer than theirs. I could not have fallen in love with a red nose and pale cheeks, I admit." Alida laughed and the doctor kissed her. There was only a sea-gull to be shocked. A Crooked Stick Straightened. I had an ugly, unruly boy in my room, and he gave me more trouble than all the rest of the class. All through the different grades of the large grammar school he had been a terror to his teachers, and he was hurried on to the next teacher with surprising alacrity and precision. He never lacked promotion. When I inherited him I felt as if Nemesis had overtakeii me, and just how to control him and secure any kind of work from him was a problem I long wrestled with. For several weeks he was the terror of the room, and my reputation for good order and dignity was, I felt, fast disappearing. The boy would not obey unless he felt like it, and punishment had no effect on him. He was there, he knew he was there; he had a reputation to sustain; he had earned it by several years' close application to wrong doing, and he meant to maintain it at all hazards. It is unnecessary to narrate his pranks. Every teacher has had such boys, and will readily recognize this on. Every plan I evolyed for the regeneration of the boy proved abortive. He wouldn't reform. Finally, by accident, I stumbled on the cure, I am not ashamed to say that it was an accidental plan, for it was one of those unexpected things that philosophers tell us are bound to come to pass. I discovered that he was interested iu his drawing, or rather was interest ed in sketching odd bits of scenery, or objects in the room, not even omitting bis respected teacher, who was a typical schoolmarm and wore glasses. I resolved to make the most of this one talent--"if talent it was and so one day. when I was in my best and sweetest mood, I asked the terror if he would not draw a plan for some shelves I wanted put up in my closet. He assented, and the sketch was neatly and accurately made. There was a new look in his eyes and a new expression on his face when he gave me the paper on which his drawings were made. Then I advanced slowly and cautiously. I needed some maps made, following a new invention of mine in cartography, and again I employed the terror, and again the result was encouraging. The maps were models of neatness and precision. I judiciously praised him, and ex hibited the maps to the class and called for copies . None ever equaled his, and his joy was complete. We were studying the continent of Asia, and the terror never had his geography lesson learned; but when I suggested that if he were to keep up his reputation in drawing he must draw the details of the country he was sketching, geography became a new study to him, aud he easily made excellent progress in this branch. To do this be had to forego some of his 'fooling business," and it was given up simply because he had something more to his liking to do. In fine, and to the point, the terror came out of his chrysalis state a new creature. His old ways were left, and he readily adopted the better method of doing and living. From a slouch ing, unkempt, uncouth, shambling, nornd boy, he emerged into being a respectable, neat, tidy, order-loving, painstaking, and industrious young man. I had found that there was something he could do, and someth ing he liked to do, and that was all there was to it. By doing something worth the doing he had no time or liking for doing what was not worth the doing, and mischief became no longer the object of his existence. Winthrop, Amer. Teacher.
