Meg had just concluded her millinery
purchases when they rejoined her.
"But, oh, dear!'' she declared, I've got
such an awful lot to do yet"

delighted to discover that she could
get her costumes made as stylishly
and perfectly here as she could in New
York, would but feebly express her
sensations.
Now, this necessitated again the

Charles was indeed pleased to find that
he could make selections for full

shops. and was soon convinced that

his measure and order.
When they returned TO Meg, the
observant old man noted that her ex.
pressive face showed signs of fatigue.
Straightway, he suggested resort to
some place of refreshment, and an
