My Lady's Satchel.

By M.L.E.

• I was telling yea when Ust I wrote what a funny old dear Aunt Tib is. Well the other dsy we had a most amasing experience with her in the train. Uncle Harry oatne down some fltiys ago and did. not thick that Atanfcy was looking well at all, so he ordered oa all off for a change, while he has the place ' done np ' (it belongs to biffij joa know). Drains, he says, must be taken and asphalt paths laid down Io place of gravel, and tiles in the porfib, and all kinds of grand things are to be done. Yon wontkDow the pines -wbea you corae down, (By the way when are you coming down again,) Aaaty and I are jusfc a little bit anxious about all these improvements lost some of them mights not be quite to oat mind, audit is so provoking to have money spent upon you—as men guy—that yoa woald far rather it were , not spent However, /am very glad to gefc a little run out of town and ln*; Bpit© of feara w@ are hoping for the beat. Well, Fanmy came down last! Monday to go with as and off we went, uncle to make 03 extra comfort able —as he thought—had a carriage ! reserved for our special benefit, for my j part when travelling, I like being in a long waggon carriage. I enjoy seeing the passengers coming and going j end conjecturing all kinds of j rOmanceß about them if they look nice, and tragedies if they look unpleasant. I think lam a very sociable person, • highly gregarious' that is the correct definition isn't it. Miss Fan—she is Btich a chit, still—was highly delighted with the distinction of travelling in a 8 reserved compartment,' and was very carefal to see that the important word wasßtuckup on both Bides of the car riage. Then she gave herself airs. She said people would be sure to think we were aristocrats or celebrities jnst arrived from Home. I told her, if people noticed it at all they would think dbe had just come from a Hospital, or if ibe capered in and out of the door as she waa doing—from a Lunatic Asy lum !" Presently, when we were all nettled, and the agitation of remena* beriog things we bad forgotten and of ficditigwe bad them after all, and Aunty was quite satisfied that the oaoary had not been left in the wash bouee but bad been taken to our kind neighbour, Miaa Fstrny upset bar com pletely, by saying in a most conse quential tone "No you can't possibly get in here ; this carriage ia • reserved* Then in she came radiant with mis - chief,' such fan' she exclaimed, such a laßßy red laced woman, with a great baby on one arm, and more luggage than she could carry on the other came rushing up, and was actually going to get into this carriage, I soon put her to Ihe right about, and told her 'you can't get in here, this carriage ia reserved.' I believe she has lost her train, serve her right, what business had she to attempt to get in here with ' Regerved' In big letters in the window! Im pudence." Then Aunt Tib's wrath and indignation burst forth, and Mies Fan caught It, I can tell you, Aunty wai intent upon leaving the carriage and finding the woman and bringing her in, and would have done so had I toot forcibly restrained her. She in~ listed upon Fanny whom she called * a little, discourteous untaught colo nial/ standing on the platform and watching for the woman, and invite her into our carriage, bat the train moved off before she could accomplish this much fco Aunty's annoyanco. The woman, she was sure was a poor widow, with no brother or son to come and see ber eff and help her to got a, leit, and here we were travelling like Bo|altief, everything done for us, ao that we took our places without worry or flurry (tho 1 I'm sore we didn*fc) of anykind, end yet. we mast deny to a poor wowun probably haetening to gee t sick mother, a place beside vb ! And now vorj likely she was left behind weeping ou the station because a aaoghiy, hard hearted selfish pert Mies must make heraelf of soon importance ! "If I had koown that yoa would misbe haved yourself so, I woald not have asked joa to travel with me !" I was forry for Funny, who could hardiy kepp from crying, gbs is really kind-hearted, and she s*£d plainly sbe btii been rade and aastf, and she is very fond of Aunty, and does not like incurring her displeaßare, so Fan read the newspaper with great iang>froid, «nd Aunty gave tts s bemily on condesy which she says consiptsln being verf kind and very tbcaghtfoJJof others in little things. At the next station, out marched Aunty and carefully examined all the carriages in search of ber "poor woman, and discovering in * second claw compart ment a red faced womtn with a big basket and s big baby, accosted ber, kindly hoped she bad found a comfort able se&t, w»b sorry that her young niece bad refused to let her conw into out compartment,was bo g!«d that eh« jh»ii not lost her train on that account." The woman looked pleased and aston ished, the young lady had been s bit emart she thought but it was not much better, she wasn't going very far, her husband would hive the buggy to meet her at the next station, As sure enough be did and we watched her drive oS in triumph, but Anoly bade Fanny go ont to hold the baby and the basket for her R8 she mounted her 'reeerved' carriage. Fanny went rather glad I fancy, to be able to expiste bur former offence. The good woman emiled and thanked h^r gratefully and we heard her say '•You must come and see me some day, I'll send the trap for you, this carriage ain't reserved yoa know!" So the brokee peace w«s mended and w@ tt'l came psfely to our journey's end.
