Maude s Christmas Gift.
BY Miss L DUDLEY.
She ra’s. d her brown eyes slowly to
his face, and s (i.l,
‘I do rot und'tsfand a> 11 M<-,
but, you : ,
mion : perhaps, you will explain
after this v. f Z I musl Mr
B.*nn . go n0NV)

Mu id Howe had appeared in society*
foi tin* fiist time, that winter, and
undi Hi "
i the chaperonage of her aunt, a
leader of faslfon,
To night Made W.'ls looking her best,
She had oil white of some air\ material,
which made onp think of April clouds.
She wore no ornament xcept white
* rose
buds in her hair and at her throat. Her
1 town hair was dressed in the
se¬
verest Grecian sty e, a style . mment’y
becoming o her face. Her head was
exquisitely shaped; b,-r eyebrows and
lashes wen* perfect 5 and her skin w as
clear to Itanspatency, showing the dGi>*
cate tracerv of the veins beneath.
I am afraid 10 tell how many men had
offered to exchange heatis with he; that
winter ; and yet, not one whom she had
tefused could say, with a certainty, that,
she had tried to make him love her.—
bite alvvay s looked grieved, and seemed
to stiuggle to keep back the tears, as
she said, ‘I d d not dream of such a
1 lung as this ; I have res; iccle. i uni more
1 ban all the men I know* and I thought
you only cared for me as a fiu nd,’_
Pei haps Maude really was, unconsc < usl\
to herself, what one of her best friends
called her, ‘the least bit of a fiu t.’ Some
girls are.
Mr. Clinton was the last upon the list,
He had begun to flirt with her, as with
others, Maude had bemi very cord a!
and informal, just enough to make him
think her cha’ tuingly fresh and unsophis¬
ticated ; the ilext time he saw her she
was a perfect iceberg ; and so he ft It a
little puzzled and s'ightly disconcerted.
Of course, it was but a step to decide
that she should like him. Maude seem

with quiet sarcasm. He had known her
now three months rot ! occasionally he
la'ic ed that her srivasm was only asum

To-nijfht he had determined In sec if

‘Just as you pleaso,’ she aeswered*
coolly, ‘I hate quadli'hs Anyhow ; they
are so stupid,’
The mus’c toom was entirely vacant.
Maude snt down to the piano and sang,
‘Down the Burn, Davy Love.’ She sang
it as if she meant every word of it —
When she had finished, she jinnee*! up

He was not cowftrdly enough to d* lay
