and its our doin', Mr.. Bunny's and
mine. Mr.. Bunny, 10 be sure. would

woman with "a figure like Maisies. I've
done a mothers part by Maisie, the poor
girl 'aviug none Of 'er own TO 'elp 'er."
Il should think any one would like
Maisie, - Eugenie said.
"Oh. like, Of course" said Mrs. Bun
ny. "But a sweetheart Is a different
story. They're greatly taken by beauty,
men are, and Of that Maisie as none, Of
course; but I'll tell you the way of 1t.
You see, Mr.. Bunny 'ad a young gentle
man sent out 10 i'm by a friend in Eng
land. e is quite a man Of family and
position, but a younger brother and no
money coming 10 i'm, so q must go into

never went 10 college, as we all know, e
as q 6ne business, and is respected
every here, and it's good TO ave i'm for

we consider Maisie our daughter. And

love" said Mrs. Bunny, laughing.
They're very romantic, always, Amer.
can girls, but indeed Maisie is just over
cad and ears in love with i'm, If 1t comes
70 that"
Then Eugene was glad for Maisie'
sake. and Just then the latter shppe'

Mr.. Bunny shortly came in. and FL

declared that she was "a sight for sol
