Yours Truly volunteered to let Major Alpenstock sing, but the ungrateful wietch declined to avail himsell of the permission; and a compromise was ellected on a recitation by the Guard. Supper was huiried over to make preparations. Youis Tiuly, in view of walking a mile, thought best to wear her older and easier shoes; and came out 1 the diessingroom lojask Miss Anlionette for her button hook, having lost her own the first or sacond day.

"Sony I can't oblige vou, but unfortunately unfortun-ately I lelt mine at home. I always use tlie Major's."

Tins produced an unanimous declaration that tea and colleo uete never inc'uded in the bill of fare; which assertion was followed bv niutuiilcongiatulations, s each maiked tlie others one point higher on the page of personal esteem. "While we ate on the subject of temperate tem-perate habits?" continued Yours Truly "I wish lo state tli.it Miss.
