Easter" grumbled Miss Holland.
Young people think of nothing nova
days, but gadding about and holiday
making. When 1 was young we
thought quiet visit to our relations
once in two years quite change enough;

natured, gentlemanly young fellow as

the fancies Of two old maids. You'd
better go with me, Aunt Mary he
continued; the change would do you
and Aunt Becky more good than all the
doctors stuff.
.sNonsense!' snapped the old lady.
"Change, indeed! That's just what we
both hate, and what causes more than
half the peoples illness -leaving their
own homes, where everything IS well
looked after, to 60 and sleep in damp,
dirty beds, and to eat halt-cooked food,
to be robbed right and left-they call
that holiday!''
'sAnd besides that, which does not

II will promise you no one will get
hold of me; so be quite content and
don't worry yourself, aunt" answered
the object of their doubts and fears.
Il don't intend to marry for many
years yet like my liberty too well,
and you make me too comfortable. 2
And with this soothing conclusion
Edwin Holland escaped, and, his prep

after he was strolling on the beach at
Swanscombe-a very pretty but quiet
seaside town on the south coast.

who was STAYING on visit with her at
her villa on the Swanscombe cliffs.

But by twelve o'clock Mrs. Gray's
preparations were completed. Lunch
con was not till two, but the visitors
might arrive at any moment, so she sat
down contentedly in the cool dining
room with her knit ing. Then Katie
looked out at the waves gently ripping
in the August sunshine, at the boats
gliding on them with their white sails
spread, and she envied the people who
were able to be out in the sweet, cool
sea-air, and grew restleso and discon-

q know, aunt, and it is nonsense for
mamma treating me like great grown

But you know, dear, being her only
daughter, she is naturally more anxious
about you,'' answered Mrs. Gray.
