SAID, feverishly, as she went to the
glass to arrange her hair; and i,
was, as she said the words, that a
sudden, wild thought played across
ner mind. She had just taken the
pms out of her hair, and let it fall
loose about her shoulders. Such
nair as 1t was, too-at least, in the
matter of hair, she could triumph
over Doris, though she had never
thought of doing SO. Up to this
elme' she had been rather prone to
regard the great, heavy, curly rope
as something of bore, always
threatening to tumble down, al
ways needing new supplies of hair
pins, and setting them at defiance
with its obstinate weight. It was
so long that it almost reached her
knee 1t was SO thick that she lost
patience with it; and it was SO
prone to twist into loose curls
that 1t was out of the question to
Keep 1T quite straight But lust
this minute it brought her heart
INTO her mouth.
