ANNETTE LORN.
The windows Of my quiet little domicile in
Thirty.iourth Street look out in the rear dag
onally across on Seventh Avenue and have
only to settle myself in my armchair by the
window Of my study, and contemplate at my
ease a peculiar phase Of character aud mode
Of life for tcnemout-houses Of the better
class stretch along Seventh Avenue to Thirty
fifth Street, through whose open windows | can
glance and see the inner-iie OF the occupants.
One day, several months ago, when first
commenced my studies of social life in the
Seventh Avenue, | noticed one window in
particular where, on projecting ledge, scar
let geraniums and pink roses bloom
ed and where rude boxes were covered with
running flowers and trailing moss until they
looked like pyramids of freshness and green
cry. | was often attracted to this window,
and | noticed that the curtains were scrupu-
lously clean, and the bit of bed which showed
from the window had pillows of snowy white.
Now and then pretty brunette appeared
at the window, sometimes looking bright and
radiant, and anon with shade Of deep sad
ness on the piquant face, with It's full red lips
