from back to front, and at the top of her
head she coaXed into loose shapeiness three
thick curls. She let pointed lock fall half
curled over her left temple. Then she
thrust in gold pins set with colOred stones,
and about her neck she tied a necklet of red
peoples. She was slender, and everywhere
she showed angles, but she might have

During the performance of the "Gotter-

wandered TO dimpled girl in pink, whose
hair was very pretty. She had waved it

twisted 1t on the top Of her head into six or
seven curls, fastened with bits of gold hair
pins. After this she had twined a wreath
OF roses, with stalks that locked as il they
might be thorny, between the curls and
the loose locks that shaded her forehead.
she had noSegay OF the same roses at her
bosom.
At quiet little dinner one night-for
though this Is lent, we are far from being.

creature IN pale yellow crepe, whose simple
frOck was cut square in front and edged
about the bodiCe opening with a roSette
trimming OF narrow yellow ribbon. Every

that her docle yellow brown hair was

interesting young girl, who was in the act

This young girl sang the other night at an

ingenious youth who, even after expana-

Up and down through the shopping
streets we surge, the February rains drip
ping from our umbrellas, our eyes turning
from sullen sky and watery pavement to
the glorious June pictures in the windows,
where flowers blossom, ribbons flutter and
fair and dainty ginghams and 0atlStes seem
