MISS FAITH’S ADVICE.
Jiug dress all ready—it s grown yellow
in a chest in the garret
But after
awhile the luoe took np my trouble
drop by drop till it was gone, and 1
couldn't tel! you today where it is. So
I’ll leach you. dear Those are tho three
rolls 1 did in tho three years, oue for
itch. They’re yellow uow. you s e e ."
Faith o|R'iie.d one and spread it ont.
It was an intricate pattern, very broud.
“ It’s hard to do," she said, “ bnt that
is ull tho better for tho forgetting If
I'd been a man, 1 should have gone
sway to Africa I've ofteu thought it
would do a good deal toward making
a body forget to see the suu falling
down like a ball aud the lark come us
if somebody had blowu out the ligbt.
But 1 couldn't very well, so I learned
to crochet 1 never gave the lace away,
you see, because J had worked my trou
ble iuto it. and 1 was afraid 1 thought
a long time about it when Alice was
married, but 1 was afraid it would
some way make her sad when she wore
it. So it’s all here This is the first
year's—you see I ’ve numbered it one—
i and this is the second s and this tho
third's There’s the three.’’
Faith handled the rolls over and over,
lost for u minuto in the associations
which they revived Her niece seemed
to have torgotten her own grief for the
time aud was observing her aunt
curiously as she bent over the lace.
"That’s a fern pattern, said Faith
"It’s very pretty. " Faith sat silent for
a time, smoothing out the creasos of
the luce aud druwiug it out to its
length, ft seemed to have the effect of
uu enchanter's wand, for it summoned
old faces aud scenes at will, aud Faith
grew blind to the little room and the
needs of her guest At last Grace moved
impatiently
"Yes, yes," said Faith, like one
awakiug, "to forget This is tlio way
Here is the old patteru. 1 will teach
you."
Sho bnstled about, finding thread aud
needle, sealed herself ut Grace’s side,
drew the thread through tier fingers
aud began her work
"There, ’ »he said efter a minute.
"Do yen see how it's tlouu? It isn’t
hard Try it '
Grace took the needle helplessly
■‘Do you think I could forget so, aunt?"
she asked hesitatingly.
“ 1 did, " said Fuith.
Grace had returned to her task and
made one or two awkward motions
with the needle when there camo a
ling at tlio door
“ It's Phil I" exclaimed Grace, spring
ing np
“ Grace I" said the recreant lover,
standing awkwardly by tlio door, ufter
Aunt Faith had admitted him and bad
retreated toward her chair There were
shame and pleading in his voice.
Grace caught her hut aud '.vent to
him without another word.
“ W e’ll try tho crochetiug some other
time. Aunt Faith," said Grace. Then
seeing her aunt s half dazed expression,
as if she hardly understood this new de
velopment of affairs, slio run buck uud
kissed her Grace's face bore no truce
of sadness as she turned to Phil, aud
they went out chatting merrily
Faith listened till the last footfall on
the erust hud died away, then carefully
rolled up the lace
“ ¡She tlnuks she’s happier," thought
Faith, “ but Pin uot so sure. A man's

Miss Faith sat in close companion-

open the mazes of tangled thread was
very gentle, even mdearii g, uud her
look of content as she held it up aud
noted its effect as n whole seemed vast
ly out of proportion to the cause. Miss
Faith was still pretty, with the pathetic
beauty held as flotsam from the wreck
of years Her hair was prettier as silver
than it had ever been as brown, and her
eyes, though they had lost thoir vivid
glow aud eagerness, had gained a kindly
sympathy Her tenderness had even ex
tended to the crocheting in her hnud
uud imparled something to t h a t usually
very impel sonul object that ht'r fancy-
had fretted iuto thiukiug 11 respouse
Sho passed her hand affectionately over
it uow, as the figure of a pineapple,
much conventionalized, repeating itself
like liistory uguiu and again, fell in scal
lops to the flour "It’s most done, ” she
thought “ 1 can go back to the oak leaf
pretty soon ”
A change in the crochet pattern was
the chief diversion of Faith s life, that
ran on as monotonously to the observer
as the tuue of tho famous harper who
played upon only one string To an ant

of crochet. The examination c.f the work
appeared to he satisfactory, and Faith
laid it on the table ut her side This ta
ble was devoted to the uses of her art,
nor was ever profaned by tile presence
of auy irrelevant substance. There were
rows of spools upon it, dmwu up in
lines like soldiers ready to receive an
attack, books of various sizes lying like
weapons by their side aud various rolls
of lace, tho finished product of their
warfare. Faith regarded them with ap
proval. hut her hand that had lain upon
the table fell away from the accustomed
task, aud she sat idle, watching the red
coal, the shadows the lamplight threw
upon the curpct and listening to the
clatter that Mary, her mind of all work,
was making as a part of the dishwash
ing
“ It’s a kind of jugglery she goes
through with those dishes, ’’ thought
Faith regretfully, “ a sleight of hand
performance, to sec how many tricks
she cuu do before ouo of them will
break. ’’ But her face did uotcloud, for
she bud learned resignation She had
surrendered to Mary the dishes uud all
the rest of the household divinities that
she had served so deftly uud eurelully
for years that she might be more ut lei
sure to while nwuy her time m her owu
