IT vru all done in such a whirl that Leslie Sherman had no tiuie_to think of herself or her_plans for the winter_ iin- til her father an stepniother and sister Nancy were fairly out at sea. The pilot brought back :i note from Mrs. Slieriiiau, advising Leslie to send for her aunt Clara to stay with her, atid hoping she would not be too lonely while they were all away. Leslie ivas fond of adventure and hated nioiiotony. .\Irs. Siiernian was a born coiiservative. Leslie had spent much of her childhood at boarding-school, and later-, college had occupied four years. The last twelve nionths she hail been at .liornc, restless, eager, dissatisfied, and I very uncertain ivliat to do. Then Nancy had been suddeiily taken iii, .\`anc_\', the little fair-liaired sister who was the especial darling of her parents, and the doctor had ordered an iiniiiedirite flight to the South of France. Something had been said about Leslie’s roiug, too, but she had opposed it, and liirs. Slier~ 'man had been rather relieved that she ' preferred to stay heliiiid. it ln the iiine that had slipped hy since Lt-~lic`.~ return froin college she had tried `~t~vt~ral ways of amusing and occupying iierself.

A good deal of Lesiie‘s time was passed at .in liast Side settlenient, and she learn» eil to love the girls she met there. She was adored hy the maids in her home, and udinired when she entered :1n_vhody’s draivixigrooiii. Leslie Sliernian was :i gooii speciincn of thc modern society girl, gracious to her finger-tips,aiid cverywliere :it her ease. She sat down to dinner alone the first night after the family left. The old blit- ler felt sorry for her, rind fancied she ninst be desolate, and her pulse were dancing, and she was exulting to her freedom to do as she pleased in trifles or in larger things ii-itlioiit an ever-recurring .'irgiinieiit_ \\'lien _she was undrenaing, some hours her chair that .\'orali_ who was preparing crying. lt had been .\‘orah‘s afternoon out, and Winnie, ivho ought to have act- .ed as chambermaid in her absence, had herself gone to bed with a toothaclle. ;;._ ._. 7~-Y* fA'~f~* i 'l '> i >` G it siness In order that we may move all our winter stock of Men’s and Ladies’ Furs out of our store in shor ordcr wc will oiler a uniform discount of l-3 off Regular Prices ..`,l neck furs, all jackets, all men’s fur coats, all fur mitts, all fur caps for men, boys, ladies.

Willoughhyi will take you in to dinner, niy dear,” | Mr. Willoughby wasn tall, thin, clean- sliaven man, vrith a somewhat cercnioni-i ons inaiiiier, and very near-sighted eye ivliich were aided by spectacles. Leslie laid her hand on his nrni as they _ walked in to dinner. His spirits were, . v. gully eflervescent, but herniarincr was einure. She had been taking dictationi from Mr. Roger Willoughby all that day. . Several of the wonien present were iii-1 terested in settlement work, rind werci engaged in prepnrritioiis for a bazaar whiei was expected to net ii large siini for a favorite charity. "Yon'llscrveatn1y flower booth, won't' yon, Miss Sherman?" said one. "Thank you, Mrs. Montgomery, yon‘ll have to excuse me. My parents are away and my winter will be a busy one. Iliit I'il come and buy flowers." 5 “Are you going to live at the settle, n'1ent?" _ "PH" Of Nfl! mill." Leslie replied. “Yon are one of those benevolent young women who leave homeand live at settlements, are yoii?"ini|uirerl Mr. Wilioiigliby, with a perfunetor air. , "Occasionally I do," replied' Leslie. \’oii‘ll never do iiincli good in that way," he answered “The working girl sees through the shnni and resents-_ it. A girl who lives ns you do at home cannot understand the alphabet of what, the real iiorking girl needs and meets every day. Leslie turned to him with greater interest. "You speak positively." "Of course I do. I have had ri goodi tical of experience with clerks and steno- graphers. They can and do help one an- other finely. Why, I had an example bc- fore me this very day.” "iiideedi Tell tis the story," said the hostess, overiiearing the last remark. "I’ve had :i jewel of a stenographer for the last six months. Sheis ill, and has had to leave the ofliee tor a time. This\ iiiorning ii friend of hers came and took her place, stipiilating that the salary was to he _sent every week to the sick girl. The girl who canic in is competent and ascurate, quiet and ladylike, with the air of her own niiddle class, ,of course. and she liasn‘t an idea that she is doing a very kind thing. She's not an thing in par- ticular to look at, just ii plain, neat girl, who appears to know her business toler- ahly we i. It takes the poor to help the poor. Now such an action as this girl‘s is worth all the settlement work young ladies play at. in m opinion."
