EvER-This charming volume of 300
pages, beautifully bound in fancy
cloth, is by the we'll known author

the great question of this aud all the
ages. 1t is a tale of love, love pure

homeness of feeling that comes to the
jewellers in rural places. From these

meets it's reward in the love forever
that grows from the love of an hour.
