| A fragrance exhaled from all the roses
at once, and something very beautiful
touched her mouth. ~
Herman had kissed her. Suddenly she
felt the years dropping away from her
like leaves, and she knew that dewy,
girlish glow leaped to her face. In spite
of her, her gaze dropped; loaded with
bashfulness. her fingers toyed with the
tassel that hung from its cord from her
slender waist, as youthfully as Ida had
toyed with her rose.
She was in a whirl, she could not think
and yet she remembered she had fretted
and called herself old. Oldi Oh, she
had never been so young.
"But am thirty.six, you know, Her
man." she said, doubtfully and dreading
to remind.
"No," he said, holding her at arms
length. "You are but twenty. If
neither spirit or body ages, what account
should we take of time. I do not wish
you day younger, you are perfect as you
are"
Nevertheless | shall never forgive
myself for having been two years old
when you were born" ol
"It's sin too small to be forgiven"
he said.
81 am afraid Ida would have been bet
ter" she suggested. 81 thought in the
first place you know, and that you asked
my consent to marry her.
He was highly amused. "In spirit and
experience, I'm at least sixty years old,
he answered, still in his dreaming, gentle
way. "If had my rights | should be
bald d-headed and afflicted with rheuma
tism. Fancy, then, my marrying Ida.
She is the very newest Of new milk,
while with you, Marcia, at thirty-six the
cream just begins to rise"
81 do not feel old-not now" She
smiled contentedly.
A girlish voice wound in merrily be-
tween their own.
"Do YOU think it destiny or circum-
stance, Marcia :" it said; and when they
turned in some confusion, Ida was stand
ing in the doorway.
81 should think that Herman had con-
fded in you" she continued mischiev-
ously.
