THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5TĦ, 1901

The ballroom next exoving presented a gay spectacle. More than half the men wore in kilts, and many of the fair sex had donned ribands and sashes of their respective tartaus

But The Infant was subdued.

The Fraser party had already assembled when we arrived. We made our way across to them. Miss Fraser was dancing the opening lancers with Majer Hay. Mrs. Fraser was sitting watching, and by her side stood her pertly husband. The music stopped, the room emptied, and we stood talking to our hosts of the night before. Presently the opening chords of waltz Bounded, and the room rapidly fled again. Henderson went off in search of friends, and I, not being a dancing man, remained by Mrs. Fraser. So also did young Fitzgerald; but he was waiting for someone. Presently she came, lesning on Major Hoy's arm. The bay advanced to her,

"Misa Fraser." he mid "may I here the honour to claim my dance!"

She looked surprised and amusor.

"Oh, I don't dance," she told hilar, "you must find other partners. Have you many friends here she added kindly.

The boy looked at her blankly. "You promised me!" he cried. "I-promised you? promised to dance with you! Oh no! What are you thinking of" She laughed, and looked at Major Hay, who frowned angrily.

Of course your pleasure of the morning overrules your promise of the night," Fitzgerald told her, his young face tushing. "But you need not be so cruel as to laugh at me as well." Ile bowed with great dignity, and walked away.

The girl raised her eyes onquiringly.

"But that is not what I came to say." I added: "I came to tell you, Miss Fraser, that your mother and your aunt are looking for you. Fitzgerald," I said to The Infant, as they both roso, "will you take Miss Fraser back to Mrs. Fraset-and to her annt, Miss Fraser."
