SPRING HATS !
lOn<lnaL]
I nevar see the tiredica glitter on the
lawn but X go bark to that scene which
was to prove so eventful to me. though
I dkin't know at the time that It was
of any importance whatever. I had
put Dick off from one date to another
In the matter of our wedding, aud he
was becoming importunate. Ue said
be couldn't settle down to anything
till we were married and once more in
the humdrum of life. The humdrum
of life! 1 was bound that if he pro
po?e.i a humdrum married condition
for us I did not. But I said nothing
to him of my intention. I did not ap
pear to notice the objectionable word.
I almply told him that a trousseau was
essential to a bride and a trousseau
would require months to procure. Then,
with malice prepense. 1 remarked that
the style of spring hats was not becom
ing to me and 1 might decide on that
account to watt till autumn. 1 said this
With such naturalness that he believed
we and knit his brow. When he left
mT common sense told me that I had
pone too far with him. But I had no
fear He had tried so hard to get me
that there seemed little chance of his
giving me up for a I rifle.
One evening in June I was slttm. on
the pAzza steps. The air was delicious
ly balmy, and it was the season for
Oreflies. The children on the lawn be
neath me were flitting hither and thith
er laughing and shouting as they tried
to catch the ?lightning bugs." grasping
at a flash, then turning on seems an
other in a new direction. 1 heard the
gate which was behind a clump of low
where I couldn't see It. shut with
a click and a quick step coming up the
winding walk. I recognized Dk k
,tep and knew by it that he bad some
thiui: of Importance for me. I
Alas that he came at such a time
When Children are naughty we tell
them that a bad spirit has go into

into me The sweet scene before me ,
ins'ead of making me plastic, hardened ,
We are unconscious of the causes
of our moods, but causes are always
thew Perhaps in my case the hu
drum of life" grated upon this tat
bloom of summer. At any rate, when
Dick reached me I was steeled against
Dorsuasion.
"Beatrice." he said, "we must be mar- j
ried at oace ? |
-That with uie is impossible. I re
there is no such word." j
-How would l will not' suit your

a,* tone ?::< ou- of Irritation, aud j
? had the same effect on me. "Vtr j

"If you are iu such a burrv for the I

for wbims. marriage is too serious !
*a affair for us to mingle whims
with our decisions. 1 will not marry
now because I have uot made up my
mind."
"Oh. you have net taaue up your
mind! Well. I have made up mine.
Hood by If you make t up before
Saturday uext. write txi?\ After that it j
will be too late."
In another moment I beard the gate ,
cllt.lv and his footsteps rapidly growing :
less distinct.
The cate doesn't click now; l per- '
auaded father to take it off its hinges.
I couldn't endure to bear It. I spent
a week struggling with my pride, for
Dick's resolute manner had told me
that he was in earnest. But I could
not conquer It. The week expired. I
wrote him as though nothing had hap
pened between us. addressing hira at
his lodgings in the city as usual.
That's two years aco, and sln?,e that
time I have uever had a letter from
Dick. I have knovn that about the
date of our break he went to Mexico
to establish soiti" aeency or other.
Three months after h.s departure my
letter to him came back to me from
the dead letter office. I didn't write
another Dick had not clven me his
address Besides, he hail told me "aft
er that it will lie too late." For two
long years I wished the "dead heart
office" would send me back mine.
And now. the second June after
Dick's departure, we are sitting on the
steps watching the children chase the
fireflies. I heard a step on the walk
and knew It was his. The first thing
be said ? h? had to say something ?
was;
"What's become of the gate?"
"Father took it away because it wa9
?uch a noisy one." God forgive the lie!
I didn't want to tell It. I wanted to
fling myself in his arms.
He told me that he bad made money
to South America. He had been oblig
ed to go for two years and had hoped
to take me with him. but he was forced
to go without me. He asked me if I
was still free and if 1 would marry
him. 1 said I would. He asked me to
get a date, and I told him that the sum
mer style of hats was very becoming
to me and I had a supply on hand. I
was ready at any time.
"Thank God!" he gasped.
Ttie pokery stiffness vanished from
within me. I threw my arms around
hJt? neck. FLORA HILLiGAN.
