--- the eastern bank OF
the Hudson, not
many miles from Newberg. The house
us light and airy; the lawns are close
mown and dotted with flowers; the
trees are plenty and give graceful
shade, and at the moment when our
story begins summer evening at
sunset, when the sky was flooded with
q rich yellow-the whole scene was
radiant with a, supernatural beauty.
On the piazza Of the house were two
young ladies, one reading a novel as
she lay in a comfortable hammock,
the other embroidering a pair Of slip
pers ia large armchair.
! The girls were opposite types of
beauty. The young woman who was
working on the slippers was a sweet
faced blonde.
The young lady in the hammock
was a decided brunette Her hair
was SO black that in some lights it
looked blue. Her eyes were rich
brown, something like that Van Dyke
brown which painters solike to mingle
with their warmest shadows.

the sun disapp eared in the gorgeous
west. Then the blonde girl looked up
from her work and addressed her
companion.
