Oh! refusal and flattery in the same breath! No, mam’selle, Iam sure your face will never be the means of your losing a partuer. Come? let me beg of | you to remove that envious counterfeit.

| can say for many other men in this

room’ *Quick-witted milliner,” thought I,

‘* Bravo, Ranelagh! Vive la Mabille !” ** Thanks, amiable masker!” I re-

plied. ‘* Bat you are too generous: you 9 :

‘It is worth while,” rejoined she, in- terrupting me; ‘it improves your cheek ; lice become vou, ha, ha, ha!”

« The deuce !” I ejaculated half alond, this dame du Boulevard is laughing at me /”

“But what are you >” she continued, suddenly changing her tone. “You are not, a Mexican? Are you soldier or c:vilian ?”

‘“ What would you take me for?”

‘**A poet, from your pale face, but more from the manner in which I have heard you sigh.”

‘*T have not sighed since we sat down.”

‘*‘ No—but before we sat down.”’

‘What! in the dance?”

‘“* No—before the dance.”

‘“* Ha! then you observed me before? ”

“O yes; your plain dress rendered you conspicuous among so many uniforms ; besides your manuer—”

“What manner?” I asked, with some degree of confusion, fearing that in my search after Isolina I had com- niitted some stupid piece of leftshanded- ness.

‘* Your abstraction ; and, by the way, had you not a little penchant for a yellow domino?’

‘‘A yellow domino?’’ repeated I, raising my hand to my head, as though it-cost me on effort to remember it—* a yellow domino ?”

“Ay, ay—a yellow dom-in-o,” re- joined my companion with sarcastic emphasis — ‘a yellow domino, who

waltzed with a young officer—not bad- looking, by the way.”

‘“Ah! ] think 1 do remember

* Well, I think you ought,” rejoined my tormentor, “ and well too: you took sufficient pains to observe.”

*‘ Ah—aw—yes,” stammered I.

‘J thought you were conning verses to her, and as you had not the advantage of seeing her face were making them to her feet!”

‘‘Ha, ha!—what an idea of yours, mad’m'selle'’’

‘** In the end, she was not ungenerous —-she let you see the face?”

‘“The devil!’ exclaimed I starting ; ‘** you saw the denouement then !”

‘* Ha, ha, ha!” laughed she; “of course I saw the denouement, ha, ha! drole, wasn’t it?”

‘‘ Very,” replied I, not much relishing the joke, but endeavoring to join my com- panion in the laugh.

“How silly the ha, ha!”

** Very silly indeed—ha, ha, ha!”

**And how disappointed—”

“Eh?”

‘* How disappointed you looked, mon- sieur ? ”

** Oh—ah—!—no—I assure you—I had vo interest in the affair. I was not disappointed—at least not as you imag- ine.”

Ah ! ”

‘** The feeling uppermost in my mind was vity—pity for the poor girl.”

‘*And you really did pity her?”

This question was put with an earnest- ness that sounded somewhat strange at the moment.

‘*T really did. The creature seemed so mortified e

** She seemed mortified, did she?”

“Of course. She left the room im- mediately after, and has not returned since. No doubt she had gone home, poor devil !”’

** Poor devil ! your pity ?”

** Well, after all, it must be confessed she was a superb deception: a finer dancer I never saw—TI beg pardon, I ex- cept my present partuer—a good foot, an elegant figure, and then to turn out

Is that the extent of

** Una negrilla !” “] fear, monsieur, you Americans are not very gallaut towards the ladies of

color. Iti is different here in Mexico, which you term despotic.

I telt the rebuke.

“To change the subject,’ continued

she; are you not a poet?” “Ido not deserve the name of poet,

yet I will not deny that I have made verses.” ‘“T thought as much. What an in

stinct I have! O tiatI could prevail upon you to write sore verses to me!

“ What! without knowing either your name or having looked upon your face. Mam’selle, I must at least see the fea- tures I am called upon to praise.”

‘** Ah, monsieur, you little know: were I to unmask those features, I should stand but a poor chance of getting the verses. My plain face would counteract all your poetic inspirations.”

“ Shade ot Lucretia ! this is no needle- woman, though dealing in weapons quite as sharp. Modiste, indeed! I have been laboring under a mistake. This is some dame spirituelie, some grand lady.” | had now grown more than curious to look upon the face of my companion.

Her conversation had won me: a woman who could talk so, I fancied, could not be ill-looking. Such an en-

chanting spirit could not be hidden be- hind a plain face; besides, there was the gracefuiness of form, the small gloved hand, the dainty foot and aukle demonstrated in the dance, a voice that rang tike music, and the flash of a superb eye, ' which I could perceive even through the mask. Beyond a doubt, she was beautiful.

‘‘T entreat you to unmask yourself, Were it not in a ball- “room, [ should beg the favor upon my knees.”

It isto be hoped that Loadon Truth will contain the published apology Labouchere is reported to have made to Lord Lorne for the publication of the wretched slander of Princess i ouise—a vile production, which, it is said, moved the Princess to womanly tears when she read it.

They like to tamper wth the people’s wealth, which others have amassed in the national interest. If they did get hold of it, there would soon be move squandering and more deficits.
