a very green couple from Virginia

after they had taken their seats the
young man began to look over the
programme

with a sudden start, 1--WE can't see

asked the girl in disappointed tones.
"W'y, look here, this bill says
three weeks elapses between the first

TO tend to cutting that corn in the
hill field"
An usher explained the matter
later and they remained.

There is marked change in the
appearance Of people one meets on
the street. refer to their looks, es-
pecially the color of their complex
ions. Once in a while fresh look
ing, rosy checked and bright eyed
person is encountered, but it is sell
dom. 1t is strange, too, that in this
clear, wholesome air people do not
look better. The contrast between
the winter and summer appearance
of most persons is very great. One
would suppose that the heat would
detract from and the cold add to the
healthy looks, Duo this Is not 30, and
the fault lies with the people, not
with the atmosphere. Just observe
how few persons you meet on clear,
celebrating cold day, the air of which
ought to send the blood leaping and
the pulses bounding But it does
not have that effect, apparently, for
almost everyone on the streets has a
pale, cold, pinched appearance with
shoulders drawn up, lustreless eyes
and chattering teeth people scud
along, only anxious to get into some
warm place as soon as possible. The
unnatural artificial heat that prevails
in every house and place Of business
is the cause Of this. We have to
have artificial heat in this rigorous
climate, but we saould make use OF
il In moderation. When persons
have sat fol hours in a poorly vontil-
ated room, by hot FIRE or in an at
mosphere made unwholesome by
steam heating, it is no wonder that
they shiver and freeze and feel I'M
speakably uncomfortable as soon as
they get out into the fresh, keen air.
1t is true that the mortality in Cit
les is the greater during the summer
| than winter, but a general feeling Of
lassitude and i'll health is far more
prevalent during the cold season il
is nothing serious and seldom pro.
drces anything worse than severe
| cold, but it is a highly unpleasant
feeling, robbing the spirit of energy
the temper of sweetness, and the
face of color except on the nose.

now she has overheard his friend
John Standard talking to him as if
he were married and upbraiding him
for flirting with her under the cir
cumstances.
When Ethel crept home sick st
heart after hearing of Percy's decep-
ton. she felt as if she never cared to
look upon his face again but as she
grew calmer she resolved to go to the
garden party the next day, where he
was to be, if only to let him know
how little she thought Of him.
When she saw him again it was to
greet him with careful smile, hav-
ing nerved herself beforehand for
the meeting. No one was gayer than
she at the party that night.
At the hour Of departure Percy
Crawford at last found his way to her

Six months later two events hap
pened. The wife Of Mr.. Hildesmere's
married son died, and Mrs. Hides
mere, with Ethel, went to keep his
house, at Springhurst. The other
was the news, which got whispered
abroad, of Percy Cranford's mar
rage. II was said, urged by senti-
ment, pity and mistaken love, he had
married one pretty, heartless selfish
woman far inferior to him in station.
All had turned to Dead Sea fruit in
his mouth, and repentance had swift
ly trodden on the heels of joy.
Then three years passed. Ethel
mad been wooed snd wooed by many
in vain. She never, she said, intend
ed to wed These were her brothers
children. She would be a mother
to them. She would not wed with
out love, and she had none.
Then she heard vaguely that Percy
Cranford's wife, his clog, his misery,
had died of cold caught at ball.
Her heart had beaten quickly for a
space, but meanwhile she had ex-
claimed, coldly:
"What is that to me !"
Yet she seemed expectant. Never
theless Percy Crawford made no
sign she heard he had gone abroad.
Another year, as Ethel sat reading
under the old beech tree on the
Springhurst lawn, shadow fell
across her book looking up she be-
