"Stephanie, / do wish we were not
so poor"
Stephanie was knitting, and on a
low stool at her feet sat Marie. The
room they were in was large, with
high ceilings-a room in which cost
ly furniture would not have been
out of place but, save the massive
oaken chair in which Stephanie was
sitting, no article of value attracted
the attention.
As Marie spoke she looked around
the bare apartment with as much
an expression of disgust as her
piquantly beautiful face could as
sumo.
"And why, child, do you wish for
riches now ?" asked Stephanie, look
ing up from her knitting and en-
phasizing the now.

piled. Il am invited TO Emily
Adams party, and have nothing

Stephanie's eyes moistened as she
smoothed back the dark ringlets
from the speakers brow.
Poverty is hard, Miss Marie, and
it is shame that you, one of the
proud old De veres, should be kept
from all that makes youth happy
and enjoyable. When is the party
to be, dear 2"
But by this time Marie's brief
had passed away.
