Being thus in delightful accord 20 the

appeared 'Arriet in the lead. She ambled
prettily out on the narrow plaZZa, took q
seat. and played with her fan. The meta
m0rphosis was complete. IL was the trans
plantation Of the female cOckuey swell ono
sees abroad IN summer % The great Amcri-
can Spa. Conscious of her pretty figure,
blonde hair, and piuk-ant-white skin,
and regardless Of the staring eyes thet
watched her from neighb0ring plazzas and
from the sidewalk, she sat there playkuily
dangling her tiny lorgnette and drumming
with her toe like q statue IN bisque that
had suddenly become animated. Her hat
was a marvel from some famous COckney
milliner in the neigLbOrhO0d OF the Strand,
and her wide-slceved gown Of the thinnest
texture was claspcd at the waist by a
bodice of black silk. fr0nted by huge bow
of mauve ribbon. Nothing so wholly gOr-
Ceous had been seen ia Saratoga during
the season.
