A ROMANCE OF POWER AND PATHOS.

A NEW STORY ENTITLED SELINA'S LOVE STORY, By Effie Adelaide Rowlands, Will commence in the " Wairarapa Age" on Saturday next. The opening instalment will convince any reader that the ground work of what is likely to prove an entrancing romance is artistically set forth in the early chapters. A modest, bright and amiable young woman, happy in the thought that she ia about to become the bride of the man she loves, has unwittingly aroused the enmity of a stranger. Her introduction to this female, at a social gathering, is made the opportunity for A GOADING INSULT, as unexpected as it is shooking, and is almost immediately followed by the utter collapse of the lady who a few moments before was reveling in rapture. The taunting tongue of her enemy |has evidently but one motive—the aunullment of her engagement. On recovering her mental equilibrium, the unhappy young woman reasons that if her enemy's words are true, the bride-elect is little better that an outcast, and unworthy to take the name of an honourable man. Interesting as this tableau iti, it is quioky followed by many others equully dramatic and thrilling, holding the raader's attention enchained until the effective denouement is reached, bringing *o a satistactory close this most animated and delightful story. "SELINA'S LOVE STORY" will commence on Saturday uext.
