Ho saying, she lifted gingerly from th

her pretty bead turned triumphantly to

there isn't another bke it In the world.
I may posaibly copy it, but I'm not anr.

igbed regretfully, "and 1 would make

I promised to do my beat, and took my
leave reluctantly a a large and portly
mntron, gorgeously arrayed, and whose
feature unmistakably bet ray oil her Re
niltio origin, sailed in and demanded
small "flower bonnet,"
That woman In a flower bonnet! J
hope, poor soul, that Nina saved her
from herself.
"What are you going to do this after
noon, Ilonaldr asked my mother, three
day later. "I wish you to come and
call with uie on the Vunderdecliein,"
"Can't, my dear mother. Promised
to go and sea Nina."
Visions of Mia Vanderdecken, rich a
Crceau, but oh I so deadly dull, hastened
my movements, and 1 waa half way to
Oxford street before my mother could
call me back. I found Mine. Destrier,
as my cousin calls herself, just parting
with a customer. The hat wa in ber
hand.
"Pve sold it," die cried gleefully; "just
old it to that nice girl fur five guineas."
"Awfully glad, Im snre. But, my
dear girl, I've a shock in store for yon.
I saw the very model and marrow of
tluit hat at Ascot the day before yester
day." "You couldn't, you couldn't I Who
was wearing it?" she cried sharply.
"One of our reigning professional beau
ties Lady Loddington."
"Lndy LoddingUiul" gasped Nina,
catching hold of the chair behind bur.
"Ronald, are yon sure you aren't mak
ing any mistake?"-
"I swear I'm not. She hud on a frock
tho color of tho hut, nnd she looked sim
ply ripping. I paid her all the compli

"The cheat, the swindle of it!" cried ,
my cousin, white with anger.

Nina waa past taking any notice of the
insulting suggestion. She seemed thor
oughly upset by the coincidence, and
looked aa if she wore going to cry,
"Why did 1 ever go into business?" ,
she cried miserably! "it's simply awful !
to get behind the soonos like this sr.cl i

old fashioned noblesse oblige ideiui. Ron

now that there is hardly any one in so

I'm more or loss out of it. It's juat u
herd of people, pushing, struggling, sell
ing everything for notoriety aud money."
"near, henr! Your sentiments, mud
am, are mine. But I don't think Uioy
should be wasted on tho more fact thut
some other woman has made a hat like
yours."
"She hasn't!" cried Nina indignantly.
"Lady Loddington was wearing this very
hat! Linton, I'll tell you tho whole story.
The same afternoon yon called a lady
came in beautifully dressed and asked
to see sonio hats. I saw who she was,
though I've never mot her, I don't want
to meet hor," savagely; "one sees qnite
enough of her in all tho shop windows."
"One does," I remarked, sotto voco.
"She wanted a hut the color of this
one; so I brought it out and showed itto
