If she had felt any doubt at the name for there were Horns and Horns the address on the card put the matter beyond question; and she tried to make her charges understand what a precious chance had befallen them.
I have an awfully obliging nurse, and a young man with a fiddle here besides, and I'd like to send you a short musicale when you feel up to it. Are you fond of music? I have a notion you are. Franz will come and play for you whenever you say. But besides that I'd awfully like to have a note from you as soon as you are able to write.

"Then we're just back where we started from," said Patty, cheerfully. "Yes; but, if you'll come to the musicale on Friday night, we can make great progress in a short time." "I told you I'd go, if you would persuade Marie to invite me." "Nonsense! I believe she HAS invited you. I believe you're Miss Curtiss. SHE has dark hair." "Why not that other singer, Miss Fairfield?"
A tea, a musicale, and an evening dance kept Violet Strange in a whirl for the remainder of the day.
At an age when such things weary, she threw herself into the pleasures of society with the hope of dragging Margaret after her; and a sympathetic witness must have followed with compassion her course from ball to ball, from reception to reception, from parlor-reading to parlor-reading, from musicale to musicale, from play to play, from opera to opera.
