There were notices of new books, and a runaway olden wedding in Roxbury, and the

latest fashions froed with avidity

while Daisy listened like one in a drea when the fashions were

exhausted: "Is that all? Are there no deaths or ht of that--she would see, and she hunted through

the columns till she found Guy's pencil , at St Paul's Church, by the Rev Dr ----,

assisted by the rector, Guy Thornton, Esq, of Cuylerville, to Miss

Julia Hamilton, of this city"

"Yes, yes; it's very hot here, isn't it? I think I will go in," Daisy

said, her fingers working nervously with the bit of paper she held

But Pauline was too intent on the name of Thornton to hear what Daisy

said, and she asked: "Is Mr Thornton your friend?"

It was a natural enough question, and Daisy roused herself to answer it,

and said quickly: "He is the son of my husband's father"

"Oh, oui," Pauline rejoined, a littlebetween Guy Thornton and her teacher's husband,

whom she supposed was dead, as Daisy had only confided to madame the

fact of a divorce

"What date is the paper?" Daisy asked, and on being told she said softly

to herself: "I see, it was too late"
