SHE HAS SUNDAY OFFERS.
1
( v vii sultry summer afternoon Miss Fluffy
heaved a sigh,
"There's nothing ever happens here."
Her aunt was passing by ;
" I see a very smart machine. It's stopping
at the inn."
And Fluffy peeping through the blinds
said, "That's that Count Turinne."
Some minutes later up there came the little
Frenchman's card.
When she went down he greeted her,
" I geeve you my regard."
"It's very kind of you, I'm sure. It's dull
this country life."
" I'm glad you teenk so. Come vis me an'

"Dear Ccuat Turinne, your offer kind, 1
do appreciate.
But I don't care to wed to-day, and so I
think I'll wait."
The Count with "parrdons" filled the air,
and quickly took his leave.
And passed one coming to the inn, Herr
Landgrave Vondergreeve.
The Landgrave sent a scented card and
Fluffy went right down.
"Mees Froyhne Fluffy, I naff called to say
I'm leaving town.
I came, I saw, you conquered, und I say
mit all mein heart,
Dat.I can never love but you. so let us
never part."

But Fluffy, good American, was proof
against his pleas.
And bade him stand upon his feet, nor
longer dust his knees.
She told him . that her heart was whole,
she bowed him to the door,
And when he left in his machine she never
saw him more.
" Well, that has helped to pass the time."
Said Aunry. "Here's-a car.
And -if my eyes don't play me false it's.
Count di Vocefa."
Again the dainty maid walked down, and
Italy bowed low.
"It maka'mia hearta beat to see'a you,
you know."

"Don't let it beat on my account. . How
did you like the race?"
"I lak de race be won by me. I love you
pretta face.
Yo' tella me yo' be my vife" ' "Dear
Count, I really can't.
But if you're looking for a wife why don't-C
The Count departed right away and L

"I'd never marry such a man heiooksjust
like a groom. I j ' r
I feel so sleepy that I think I'll take a nap,
my dear." &
But Aunty said, " I think I see Lord Ronald
Vere de Vere."

And Ronald, like a gentleman, departed
No sooner had he left the inn than
Traddles came in sight.
When Fluffy saw his honest face her
own fair face grew bright.
But still she sent down word to say that
for the nonce she slept.
"Dear Aunt, if he proposed to-day 1
think that I'd accept"
