seen more of the world than Celine had; but
it was useless for him to look at her in a
manner he wished to appear severe. The
little Arrange girl boldly placed her hand over

At 2 O'Clock NJ. Jordy started for business
and the friends resumed their talks. Celine
chatted increasingly, without noticing that she
was carrying on a monologue. Women
are wonderfully adapted for microscopic
work; they excel in detailing their joys aud
their sorrows. Lucille, full of her own
thoughts, listened, learned, guessed, and
sometimes failed to understand. Dinner
time was drawing near, Celine was still
talking and Lucille still listening. She was
going on with a description OF her joys, pres
