In one hand she held bunch of ivy

Her profile, sharply outlined against
the ruddy carmine of the sunset, was
eXquisitely pure and delicate; her
blue eyes were full of dreamy fire.
Old Peggy, from her position in

sharply up.

aside the pan of baked apples that she

mond.
But she was soft-hearted little
maid, and very fond of Peggy, and SO
she set diligently forth to gather nuts
the next day.
Peggy knew where the travelling
, salesman put up-at "A wayside inn,
kept by friend of hers-and she lost
no time in speeding thither.
"Pink is Miss Chris's color" said
she, "and l think Miss Rosamond
would look well in blue--a pale, for

dress in the family, there's no reason
there shouldn't be two. Only we've

Rosamond was oyerjoyed when the
compact little brown paper parcel
came home.
