Mics Groce Teller was Mt home helr-
mo Mpry Elton in an elaborate niece Of
e,ohroiderv. The room where the two
oirls ent WINS rlain, cnrpeted with the
cheapest innrain. and curtained with
very ordinary mink and white chintz,
vet il looked snue ard CHEEKY, for the
fat blaclhird was chipping in the win
dow. and stand of magnionette and
velvct-boseomed pansies gave delici-
ous refinement TO The details Of every
dew FIFE.
Mary Elton was pale. thin, and not
at MI pretty, thouoh there was a trem-
ulous sweetness about her mouth that
seemed to whisper that she might have
been verv different un9er different cir
cpme'ances. Grace Teller was q lovely
blonde. with large blue ewes, rose-leaf
skin, and hair whose luminous gold fell
over her forehead like an aureole.
As Mrs. Seymour entered n deep
shade Of pink stole over Grace's beauti-
ful check but otherwise she was calm
and selfpoeeessed. and readily parried
the old lady's interrogatories.

old lady, tanning herself Do they have
