uHE. She seems to inc ike n breath Of yio-
lot In sfla.lowy ro0m,-a sunny shaft of
gold broken III pcbb'y brook strain Of
Miscrcre IN vast cathedral lln. with moon
light Sitting through stained glass.
dreamed of her lastnight,-not rs sable
garbed nun posed before 4 crtcifix, but rs Il
slight, fragile RirllIng barely 20.
Sho WIS dining with 1lc,-she md two
demoisellos, brilliant md merry. think
ono was Lulu Wheaton, hut am not sure.

1,alf-banteriDgy Of the pathos In the lines OF
one SO young. hut all through tho after-
noon never one moment came to mo In which
to whisper low my admiration of that poem.
