spoiled q delightful days fishing for
Prince; but he, accepted the situation
quite good naturedly. Indeed. perfect
as the weather was and excellent as his

but eligible young men were not; and
she, certainly had no objections to her
husbands neices making nice matri-

{ she had had her fair and debonair young
.neighbor, Prince Winslow, in her mind
when extending the invitation to tile
girls. He was q good natured fellow,
cultured and intelligent, wealthy, and
belonging to one of the best families in
