All this occurs to me on thinking over
The events OF yesterday and the day be
fore.
Ever sitce made the acquaintance OF
Josephine Belfeld felt that there was
some destiny drawing us together. Aud,
as for me, made not the least ret distance
lin such cases I never 40.
Miss Jo. as soon got to call her, should
have been named Brown; for she was
brunette, with brown hair snd brown ewes
and eyebrows, ard more than bali her
dress was brown not TO mention the
brown feather in her hat.
Thinking back at this distance from
yesterday, ! do remember that she was
spoken OF rs being frivolous by ber Aunt
Rachel; bnt then that only meant that she
was good nainred. and as ! try to be the
same You can easily see why Miss Jo and
were well tsken with each other
Miss 10 bad a cousin, Weezie, otherwise
Loulss Newbe'ry, who vas paying her
visit. Whenever began TO think tender

started up like Jack in the boz. In fact

Oh, there wasn't anything positively the
matter with Cousin Weezie. She wasn't

must admit that Cousin Weezle's
mouth and eyes had sort Of morbid fash

Ind when she laughed heartily, which a,

There must have been some fnesse about ..
