And there's ever so much music here now, and the theatres, and I could have a coming-out party here. You know I never had one, papa. And it would be nice to be near Aunt Sally; she's getting old and needs us." "Yes; she undoubtedly does," said Bassett, with faint irony. Her daughter's rapid fire of suggestions wearied Mrs. Bassett. She turned to Harwood: "Mr.
"I've always remembered," she said, very gently, "and never forgotten how nice you were to me at my coming-out party, when I was so scared and young and all. I thought you were the most wonderful man in the world, and had the most understanding and the most tact." She laughed softly, but not mirthfully.

"Ma doesn't like her so extra well," Jane admitted, candidly; "she thinks they might have done something for Rosy this past summer.
