UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE.

'What! this old one! After all, I think that by wearing my gray one Saturday, I can make the blue one do for Sunday. Yes, I will. A hat or a bonnet, which shall it be? Which do I look best in?'

'Well, I think the bonnet is nicest, more quiet and matronly.'

'What's the objection to the hat? Does it make me look old?'

'O no; the hat is well enough; but it makes you look rather too—you won't mind me saying it, dear?'

'Not at all, for I shall wear the bonnet.'

'—Rather too coquettish and flirty for an engaged young woman.'

She reflected a minute. 'Yes, yes. Still, after all, the hat would do best; hats are best, you see. Yes, I must wear the hat, dear Dicky, because I ought to wear a hat, you know.'
