Christine listened with a dreamy pleasure to the flatteries with which Mela plied her in the hope of some return in kind, and not at all because she felt spitefully toward Miss Vance, or in anywise wished her ill. "Who was that fellow with you so long?" asked Christine. "I suppose you turned yourself inside out to him, like you always do." Mela was transported by the cruel ingratitude.
There are many keen hunters, both native and European, and there is no likelihood of their occupation coming to an end for want of game. Tea-planters attend this mela to buy mats, which are made by the people in large quantities, and are required in the preparation of tea for the market.
Horn promptly gave her. "Well, I must bid you good-night." "Oh, good-night," murmured the elder lady. "So very kind of you to come." "I've had the best kind of a time," said Mela, cordially. "I hain't laughed so much, I don't know when." "Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it," said Mrs.

Dryfoos, through Fulkerson, had asked all the more intimate contributors of 'Every Other Week' to come. Beaton was absent, but Fulkerson had brought Miss Woodburn, with her father, and Mrs. Leighton and Alma, to fill up, as he said.
