Hence Mr. Stag went to bed In ery good humor, feeling that ehe wu quite equal to her new responsibility, and with nothing but k indues In her kind heart for the three orphan to whom abe had consented to supply the care of a mother. This care at first appertained to their wardrobes. In another six weeks the Staggs were to move to the seaside, and before that time the trio had to be supplied with an entire assortment of summer clothing. They had to be taken to be measured and then taken again to have their things tried on, then the things had to be marked and afterward packed. Mrs. Stagg gave herself up to this occupation with unreserved cheerfulness She bustled, she gave precise orders, and waxed Indignant when the shopkeepers disappointed her; there was a bevy of sewing women In the house from morning until night, and the hall was occupied at the close of each day by a profusion of bundles from haberdashers and outfitters and bootmakers and milliners. Three days before the appointed date everything was In the bouse, and Emma had the satisfaction of beholding her nephews' and niece by marriage well shod, well gloved and well hatted. The sight of the sea they had never seen It before aroused the enthusiasm of the Baldwins, the first they had manifested since their arrival, as Emma said to her husband. Hitherto they had accepted everything as It came, In silence, which was not otherwise than pleasing, but scarcely exhilarating to their benefactors They ran about the beach and over the rocks behind the Staggs' vil la, with the keen energy of mountain goats. Even the perpetual sadness that had become a part of Eleanor's expression had lifted, and her eyes sparkled as she talked, In such a way that her uncle remarked that the sea air had already begun to act as a tonic. Of a truth it had; from that day on she began to gain physically, both In strength and appearance; her cheeks lost their sallowness, and her step regained Its natural elasticity. She was constantly out of doors; If not disporting with her brethren on or by the water, walking or riding through the woods and fields, for the place combined the attractions both of the seaside and the country. The boys had a sailboat together, with a man to give them lessons In seamanship and swimming, and In the stable was a dainty little mare entirely at her service, whether for use in harness or as a saddle horse. She had learned how to ride as a child, and she now delighted in the exercise, It frequently In the company.of her uncfe'Haroid whof though obliged" to be In New York during the middle of the week, was always with his family from Saturday until Tuesday. At least three afternoons in every week she drove In state by her aunt Emma's side, In the victoria. Thera were three or four favorite drives, in the course of which they met a variety of other vehicles no less effective; there was constant bowing in passing, and everybody looked very stylish, Her aunt told her who the people were, and made amusing comments on them. Some of these people called on Eleanor, which she was given to understand was very kind of them, conthat she was not yet out; and '' sidering she went by invitation a few times to take luncheon Informally with girls of her own age. In the neighborhood, where, after a little preliminary Interchange of formalities on her account, there was a general chatter about persons and things of which she knew nothing, and ladylike gabbling. Her aunt returned some of these courtesies for her, by asking two or three of the young women at a time to bring their work and pass the morning, in order that she might get to know them better. On these occasions there was no suggestion of going out sailing or rowing, or hunting for shells on the beach, or wild flowers In the woods, as Eleanor was apt to dp on other days. Sometimes one of the number, by turns, read from a novel, while the others sewed, but commonly they simply chatted at their fancy work with general reference to the one great event that was uppermost In all their minds coming out into society. Several of them were half out already; that Is the bars had been let down so far as to allow them to appear at a college class day or some garden party, and their experiences were re-- - counted, with coy allusion to personal triumphs, for the edification of their less emancipated sisters. To Eleanor they were Invariably courteous, making a due number of polite inquiries as to her previous life, as to how she liked the East In comparison with the West; but. naturally, .they soon began to talk to one another of the topics In which they were Interested, and Eleanor, for the most part, sat and listened. What Is more, she continued to sit Bd listen as the summer went on, without contributing her share to this particular kind of conversation, which supplied the cement of sympathy between the other girls. They continued to be very polite to her, but It was evident to Mrs. Stagg that somehow Eleanor did not get on with them. CHAPTER IV. Eleanor Is certainly very quiet," Emma said to her husband one evening, and very young for her age. The best thing for her. in my opinion, would be to have her come out as I s $ Boaaers Bom soon as possible. Ot course. It wouldn't be decent for her to do so before the 1st of January; but, 1 think, by that time, seeing no one knew her father here, so that It wouldnt shock anybody else'a feelings, it would be If she were like perfectly proper. most girls, 1 should naturally advise, on grounds of respect, waiting for another year; but, you see, Eleanor was eighteen last autumn, and If she were to wait she would be twenty before she came out which, considering her excessive shyness and quietness, would be the worst thing possible for her. I am afraid of the poor child becoming morbid. All she seems to care for Is wandering through the woods or sitting on the beach by her self for hours, or else reading. It can't be good for her. I like to see girls at her age bright and taking an Interest In things. Its to be expected that she should mourn her father, but it Isnt healthy to allow her grief to prey on her mind. monster that "It is the green-eyedoth make the food It feeds on Shakespeare, said the young banker, Jolllly. "No, thats Jealousy; but It applies to grief Just as well. You let yourself get harping on a thing and It's all up with you. Then you agree with me?" As to what?" said Harold, noticing his wife's anxious air. The propriety of her coming put after the 1st of January. Any plan that you and Eleanor fix on will suit me, cherub. I leave It all in your hands. You have said you mean to give her a ball," Emma remarked, meditatively. So I do; a handsome one. It'll be a good excuse for throwing open our new house. Well, then, I shall consider It settled; only I shall have to be thinking about her clothes at once. I dont suppoee the child will make any objections. She felt, nevertheless, a little anxious on this last head until she had talked to Eleanor, who, however, said that she was not competent to decide as to the proper time for laying aside her mourning, and that her aunt was the beat Judge. "I should be very sorry, dear, to give you the impression that I was lax In such matters, said Emma, seriously, but I think your future happiness may be very dependent on your coming out this winter; so It seems to me you do right In being a little less strict In following custom than In ort dinary cases. Eleanor merely assented; but next day, when they were alone together after breakfast, she suddenly rented her aunt with the Inquiry why there was any need of her coming out at all. Need of your coming out! Emma said, in a tone of astonishment Then, after a moments attempt to grapple In her own mind with the extraordinariness of such a proposition, she replied, with dignity: Your Uncle Harold depends on your coming out Eleanor. i The girl looked at her vaguely. I should be very happy without she said. Emma surveyed the calm recalcitrant In a dumbfounded fashion that was still more haughty. She felt that she was called on to combat a frame of mind radically out of gear, and that she must speak unequivocally. It Is not a question of your present happiness or of your unhappiness, Eleanor, but of your whole future. If you do not show yourself In the world and become familiar with Its usages, how are you to fit yourself for your part In life, whether as a wife for you are likely to be married or, even assuming that you are not as as your Uncle Harold's niece and my ural result of her affliction, but noth Lg worse. The remaining weeks at the seasldi passed uneventfully. Emma had beef rather Impatient to get back to towij in view of the preparations necessary for the ball, and for launching hci young charge into the gay world.
