CyrillA Ann sighed when she though

turned 90 very cold. An ICY wave, ma.
liciously left behind by gruf old winter
to vex his successor, and which had been
prophesied for several days, had come al
last in earnest, and OyrillA Ann dreaded
those windows. They were long AnO
wide, and she would be obliged to stand
on the old.iashioned balCony-the house
was q corner one, and fully exposed 10 thu
extremely windy spring winds-to do the

1t WAS easy TO tell by the expression Of her
mouth when che closed 1t firmly, gs she
often did, that what Cyrilla Ann lacked In
strength she made up In grit, and when
she had determined to do q thing she'd do

chin for which many millionairess would

estimable woman had no dimples, nor soft
gray eyes, no long sllken lashes nor
arched eye brows, or funny little pug
nose. Her eyes we're cold, light blue.
Her lRshea were short and sCanty, and
she didn't have Q sign Of an eyebrow
when she forgot TO make them with q
rrayon. Her nose was long and thin, So
was her chin, Aud her mouth was one
Of those straight lipless ones that seldom,
