Aida Erving sat at the window round
which the curling morning glorIes were
Just beginning to close. The honey bees
were buzzing drowslIy about them and
the other flowers grew along the path
down to the gate. 1t was a beautiful
June morning and the view from the
window across the river n the towering
green hills beyond was an Inspiring one;
but Allda's eyes showed no expression Of
pleasure as they wandered to and fro
over the lovely landscape. Instead they
had a far-away. almost a mournful look
and her cheek a pale. The Girl had
beeA III for three weeks and was now
awaiting the doctors visit.
Mra. Erving was moving about the
room busy with her morning occupa-
lions. From time TO time she cast a fur
tive, anxious look AZ her daughter.

Aida" she said, for the third time,

his synchronlsm on the arms of the two
Instruments moving exactly the same

Under the swinging end OF the arm,
