she makes up her mind, packs up hef
things-mostly bottles Of stufi-and on TO
the Springs she comes. Seeing everybody
so well and cheerful. the fragile creature
begins from the first day to improve. Num-
her one YOU see comes for health. Number
two is a sly old widower, who, having
creme on his hat foot high,
and being lately befeaved, knows
he should not be gay, but hearing of the fun
like our old acquaintance, in Mutual
Friend. he wishes to "draw near and see IL

say, comes Cor quiet-is fearfully broken up

what a jolly place the White Is, has been
