MRS. CLINTON'S PARTY.
When Oscar and Harry reached home they were met by Maud, who flourished in her hand what appeared to be a note.
"What is it, Maud?" asked Oscar. "A love-letter for me?"
"Don't flatter yourself, Oscar. No girl would be so foolish as to write you a love-letter. It is an invitation to a party on Saturday evening."
"Where?"
"At Mrs. Clinton's."
"I think I will decline," said Oscar. "I wouldn't like to leave Harry alone."
"Oh, he is included too. Mrs. Clinton heard of his being here, and expressly included him in the invitation."
"That alters the case. You'll go, Harry, won't you?"
