-03.. FREDERICA. THE BONNET—GIRL. C it A PTE it XII .—Coiia‘me¢. Till 1W0 unwise.

Frederica having satisfied herself that the name was ‘ Weldon,’ upon the plate, seconded the steps of the portion to ring the bell, while Grace, with the exclamation to her sister, ‘ little Liszy,‘ nowva little Hebe of thirteen years, who at that moment entered the room. of ‘ my new hat, sister!’ almost ran into the hall. to anticipate the foremsn's duty is o sing the street door.

‘ on are very kind, to bring it yourself,’ she said to Frederica; ‘ I did not mean you should be put to this troublc.‘

‘Oh, it is a pleasure to me,‘ said Frederica. lilting her large blue e_ a up to tho besutifulfsco of Miss Weldon, and wondering at her beauty, while the latter gazed wtth deep admiration upon the heavenly countenance of the fair bonnet-girl. Their eyes met, and Frederica blushed and looked sorrow- ful, while Grace laughed good humoredly. and said,

‘Come in, Frederica, which I think you said i.-

- our name. Come in, and see me try on my hat. Ikuow it is very beautiful, and I want you to see how it becomes me. It will gratify you, I know, to witness the effect of your own taste !'

Frederica entered with a gentle step and downcast eyes, for her heart was heavy. she knew not why ; only she wished Grace was less lovely and fascinating or else, being lovely as she was, James had never seen her! But she hoped he loved her not, and this hope buoyed her up.

She followed Grace through a stately and wide hall. hung with pictures. adorned with busts and statues in niches. and a spacious and elegant stair- way, winding from its extremity. Passing the font of it, Grace led her into the fartiin parlor, a room richly furnished, but more with an eye to comfort and case than luxury.

‘ Sit down, deur child, said Grace,’ ‘ you must be f .tigued.'

Frederica seated herself in a velvet~covered arm- chair, while Grace opened the band-box and drew forth the hat. It was. indeed, as the reader knows. for we have described it already, a beautiful creation of the lovely bonnet-girl's taste.

‘ What a love of a hat !' exclaimed Miss Weldon. holding it up to view, turning it round and ad— miring it with that manner and look with which a pretty woman always admires a new and tasteful hat! A new pair of gloves, a new dress, a new l'iawl. are each admired and commented upon, each in its way, and as each deserves. But a hat-— a new hat-a fashionable hat, and especially such a but as Grace now held elevated at the end of her graceful arm! a pretty woman has for it a look all its own —gratifled. coquetish, wistful, smiling. triumphant l—a look indescribable, but such as alone she bestows upon ‘ a love of a lint !'

Frederica could not help being gratified at her praise. and she raised her large azure eyes and smiled acknowledgment. Grace was struck by the constrained, grieving expression that the sweet smile she gave her struggled with. and she turned her gaze from the bonnet to fix it with sympathiziug curiosity upon her countenance. Frederica under- stood this look, and fearing she should betray her emotions, she strove to throw off the heavy feeling that lay like lead at her heart ; a feeling, not jealousy exactly. for Frederica was too benevolent and good tobe jealous, but it was its shadow passing across the bright mirror of hope which lay at the bottom of ker heart, and wherein, till oi late, had been reflected. undimmed by a single doubt, the face of James Daily !

She succeeded in overcoming her feelings, and rising, offered to assist Grace in trying on the hat. Grace accepted her a'd with a smile, and when the hat was on. she stood before the glass to admire— which shall we say. the hat or her own beautiful features beneath ? This is a question for the ladies ; for none can so well decide whether it be the hat or the face that is looked at when a bonnet is tried on. lists in windows do not usually attract so much attention as lists on, overshadowing a bright pair of eyes, and reflected from a French, full-length mirror. '

But, however it be, it is very certain that the hat did not look like the same hat on her head. and seen in the mirror. If' it was ° a love of a hat ' be- fore. it was ‘ a bewitchiug hat’ uowl and Grace. too, never looked lovelier than with it on! Here rises a second question, whether it was the hat that increased the beauty of the face ander it, or the face under it that lent beauty to the hat. This we lsave to be decided in the proper court, which is held spring and autumn, in session of six weeks or more. at White's elegant bonnetaaloons.

‘ There can be nothing prettier,’ said Grace, after having suflciantly admired the effect, turning round to poor Frederica, who trembled with fear to behold her so beautiful, and James her irieedl Diflideut and humble Frederica! No less lovely herself than Grace. she knew not she was so—thouglit not of any charms she possessed that could win and hold him she loved, save the strength, and purity, and single-hearted devotedness of her love.

But Grace, handsome as she was, when she caught a glimpse over her shoulder, in the glass, of the face of the young bonnetagirl. had athought come into her heart—tor lovers think with their lieartsa—that she would not like to have her for a

‘ Oh, no, I have no parents.’

Grace looked sad. and laying down the bonnet, she took Frederies's hand, and said, with in- describable kindness of tone and look,

of pain! Frederica had opened the door, when she recollected J amcs's note.

‘ I had forgotten,’ she said, without raising her eyes. And without speaking a word further, she placed the note in her hand, and left the room, and hurried. last site should be recalled, to pass forth into the street.

CHAPTER XIII. we announce.

Gases stood a moment wondering at the sudden retreat of the lovely bonnet-girl, but her attention was instantly recalled to the letter in her hand. She saw that it was James’s handwriting, but very irregularly penued,and written as if with a trembling hand. She hastened to her father with It, anxious to know the contents and why he should have written unless he were ill. At this thought all her former a preltensious rushed upon her mind, with the con- vtction that he must have been injured by the burglar.

Mr. Weldon had gone to the wharf ; and Grace,

without hesitation, opened the note. Its contents confirmed her fears, though he said nothing of the cause of his illness. ‘And this beautiful girl who brought it.’ she said, the conversation she had had with Frederica rushing upon her mind, 'fives in the same house with him. She must he the person he has spoken to me of, but he never said she was lovely—oh. how lovely ! Did he fear to awaken m jealousy ? And she has inst come from him. I e is ill and perhaps she has been watching and attending upon him. 0, happy girl. But I am suffering already from jealousy. I fear. It leads me to forget James‘s condition, which calls for all my sympathy. He can't be very ill,’ she added, glancing at the note again, or he could not have written. All, me! If tllttl. lovely girl is an inmate of his mother’s dwelling, and sees him daily, I am sure she must love him. Yes, that is plain. This will account for her manner and her sudden retreat when I spoke of him. Oh, my poor heart begins to throb very strangely. But I will not feel so. Such emotions ire unworthy of myself—unworthy of James. Perhaps she loves him only as a sister.’

For a few moments the beautiful girl stood with the open letter in her her hand, her finger on her lip, her large hazel eyes cast down and thoughtful, her cheeks glowing with heightened emotion l’oor Grace! She was, in spite of her generosity of character, in spite of her native pride of spirit and consciousness of beauty, in spite of her confidence in James's fenlly, and integrity of character, be- coming fairly jealous of' the pretty Frederica, now that she understood what her position was in Mrs. Daily’s family; for she vividly recollected now all that James had ever told her of his mother's protege, the young German girl. She drummed upon the carpet with the point of her little foot, and the finger upon her lip did not press the mouth so firmly as to prevent a gentle pout from protruding itself upon it. But she banished these feelings and a different kind of emotion caused her cheek to

iug ooetumaaud the step with which you seem to have started. If you had not stopde should hardly have overtaken you.’

‘ I am sorry you should have put yourself to the trouble to try,’ answered Grace, smiling slightly. yet with a certain reserve in her manner.

The young man slightly colored at this very deli- cately-pointed hint that she had rather have passed on alone, and than remarked,

‘ I was about to call on you, hearing that your house was broken open last night and much plate stolen. Iwas going to oI'er my services towards effecting something in the way of detecting the regues.’

so. if she had not seen Frederica. But she did not like to let her, whom she could not help regarding in some light as her rival, though a very gentle one. know the strength of her attachment for him. It was a natural feeling for one of her sex, and this feeling of itself restrained her. Yet she became impatient of the suspense.

The note was despatched at once by s footmau to the merchant’s counting—room. During his absence Grace was revolving in her mind the interview she had with the lovely bonnet-girl and endeavoring to remember if James had ever spoken of her in any manner from which she could infer that she might be his rival. Of James she had no iealous fear; for she knew he was devoted to her and the very soul of honor and manly afiection. But she did not like to have him so near, or rather to have so beautiful a girl so near him constantly. She was. in a word. jealous of Frederica but not of James. She was becoming quite unhappy about the matter, when the foot-nan returned and entered the room.

‘ Here is a note. Miss Grace.’

She sprung to seire it.
