bankers wife went on with great en-
thusiasm, and stated that sooner than
permit such a wicked Old World con-

and he would call out the standing
army with its guns, and the navy with
its ships. Oh! the bankers wife had
never so thoroughly enjoyed herself in
her whole life before. And Pippette,
when she walked home, had a head full
of visions of ranks of armed men, each

Italian soldier, marching down Mott

made up of her relatives and their
friends, all willing to shed their last

her to marry Pietro against her will.

and all anxious to know that the visit
to the bankers wife had not hurt her
most delicate and precious health.
They set up chorus of rejoicing when
they saw how red her cheeks were
with excitemenDs and how her eyes
sparlsled (because of the romantic
thoughts behind them. But she quelled
this with a quickly assumed tragic air
which threw them into a new worry.
In few moments, after they had with
frightened solicitude tried again to

To Pippette the title alderman
meant only something which must be
very grand. She finally planned with.

after loveliness-au naturel-they must
be regarded with gratified admiration
because of their native revelations, and,
although Pietro sat within two yards

bad tobacco, Pippette did not care. She
