Mary's mother was altogether different. She was a small, fair woman, with merry -little ways, a continual laugh, and the manners of a child. The sort of a person that one' must pet, and indulge, and ex _euse. My mother was also a very small vfomftn, but her manner to Mrs. Steele was that of .a tall woman bending to a midget. Year after y-ear .passed in pleasant, even fashion, until I reached the age of 12. Mother wakened me as usual one New Year's morning, but, contrary to her cus tom, seated herself on my bedside, and, facing me, clasped m.v hand in hers. "Sfy son," said she, "you are old enough now to bear responsibility, and learn manly ways and ideas. Your father was a gentle man. He was kind, loving and tender 'ever ready to defend a girl, a woman, arid-the right. He never drank to intoxication, and "hoped his son might also be exempt from this temptation. If not, he prayed that strength might be given him to leave it entirely alone." I wondered why mother was saying this to me, when tears came in her beloved eyes, and she continued: "I uin telling you this, dear lad, because you always visit the Steeles on New Year's day, and there' are many young men whom you may see there—fyoijng men who drink too much, say too much, and whose man ners, af.e not- always the manners of gen tleme'h.'' ."'Then I understood, and putting my arms about tier-neck,-pLedged myself in the name of my dead-'father to be temperate, faith ful, and true. The bells of St. Margaret's broke^ into a merry, chime just then, and mother ran away crytrtg: "Up, up, Jack! My son must not be a sluggard on New Year's day." The day had been dull and gray, .. A whitey sense of snow thrilled'through the sharp, wintry air, which made the warmth and comfort within intoxicating. From nine o'clock in the morning a line of callers had poured aver the door-sill of the Steele house. Carriages emptied their loads of elegant looking men at their curbstone, the tails of rich coats flourished like black wings behind the flying figures, while white satin waistcoats and light gloves gleamed in contrast as the callers rushed up 'the steps. Few little boys were among the guests, and my jealous heart'absorbed^ grain of comfort from this knowledge. I hurried from my outlook, and into my hat and raglan, when mother called: "Come, Jack! It's four o'clock! Aren't you going over to the Steeles?" When Pomp'ey opened the door, he showed all his double molars in astonish ment at my magnificence. I was clad in broadcloth from shoulders to ankles, in stead of the velvet/short trousers and braid ed jacket that had fretted my masculine dignity for two years. Some one hasjsaid that "a -sense of being well-dressed gives one a self-possession that religion cannot be stow." I felt this as 1 entered the parlor, and caught a glimpse of Mary. The fact, too, that Mary's pink sash exactly matched my necktie added warmth to the atmosphere and made nie accept Grandma Steele's for mal kiss and Mrs. Steele's lur.ghiijg greet ,ing: "My! O! My! Jaclc, but you are a swell," as my rightiul due. Alary was especially nice and glad to see me. She had two or three little tricks of speech lately that I liked, and her laugh was getting so sweet and low. Through the long parlors, under both the big prismatic chandclicrs. was spread "the table," lhat wonderful feature of New Year's hospitality in olden ew York.

Mr. Steele was a kind friend ill my trouble, and when the worst was past Mrs. Steele 'showed herself still merj-}-,. childlike, arid young. Mary, alone, I could not'fathom.:. I had been in Paris two years, and had corresponded with Mary in fraternal fash ion for more than a twelycmonth when I suddenly wrote an impassioned letter, tell ing her of my life's love, and imploring her to be my wife. She responded briefly, and in the tone used, through all her letters: "I thank you for the high compliment," she wrote, "but why not keep on in our old friendly way?" This was too much. I was hurt deeply, never answered.her letter, and resolved to keep aloof, now and forever. Toward the end of December 1 became uneasy, and re solved to go home, or, at least, to old Nh\- Y-ork. We landed on New Year's eve, and 011 New Year's morning, as the bells of St. Margaret's were-chiming for serv ice, I* found myself opposite Mary's house, looking over at the old place, with the same old boyish interest. What a change from the old days! Every shade of every house on the block entirely covered its window, and on each: bell-pull was a tiny basket fastened with a bunc'.i of gay ribbons. I was indignant. "A nice way that," 1 argued, mentally, "to treat-visitors on New Year's day." A closed house, in deed! It should open to me! And that basket! Probably itwastbegiftof.some fond lover, like the Mayday baskets of the olden time. Tied with Mary's favorite color, too! Very well! I would take it down and offer her my congratulations, when I handed her the basket! So I mounted the steps and gave the bell knoh a vigorous pull. Old Pompey opened the door. He knew me at once, arid smiled hr'ondly, as lie said: "Miss Mary,she'll be ({flighted. Disvisit's so un-regSai' jes want she likes. When XI,uy came, s': seemed a little tremulous and i-onfi:.-ed. I remembered the basket. It had fallen to the floor. 1 pounced upon it viciously. In it Jay a card: "Mr. Stewart Kingslev." "Mary," I gasped "surely you are never going to marry the man who insulted your mother 12 years ago and I held up the card before her astonished eyes. "Yon silly boy," said she, and with that years vanished wc were young again "This," shaking the basket, "is the way people receive today. We put out our basket, and anyone who wishes may drop his card in it." "Then he did not send the basket?" "Oh, no!" laughed Mary. "Well," said I, "what a silly fashion to tie five yards of ribbon to one's bell-handle, that a friend may not pull it!" "No. Only two yards," said Mary. Five," I protested, and then said: 'Come let's measure it." So I took my to 111 ..... till IJm imtnuu An Ii HikltAtt W.
