six months tour of Europe, and the travel
ing bag she carried was plastered over with
steamer labels and stamps of half the
famous hotels on the continent. She is not
an ostentatious person, by any means, the
st. Paul girl, but she certainly did set great
store by that decorated bag, and gazed with
pride on its collection of labels. Her charm

too, perhaps, completely won the heart of

''Of course it isn't, but did you ex
pect we were to give a dance here

parlor for small family, and when we
get settled you'll be delighted. You
won't have to walk half a block to

"You'll-you'll get us back home as

tried to brace up.
'Of course. That is, expect you'll

Mr.. Bowser handed in chair for her,
and then followed the men down
stairs to make them hurry. He had
forgotten all about the janitress, but
! she was at the front door and looking
for him. Not knowing the powers and
dignity of the average janitress of the
average fiat, he had stroked her fur the
wrong way at the very outset, and she
did not intend to put up with it.

she asked as he appeared.

a good deal to say around here"

turned to about 90 children who were
crowding up the steps. "Ishould think

he glared at her through the obscurity,

"And I've rented the fourth fat"

Mr.. Bowser would have hung on and
argued matters, but Mrs. Bowser, who
had crouched against the wall and
held her breath, tugged at his arm
and got him away. He clumped up

up against the wall and wept.

looked at her in establishment.
"Look-look at the scenery" she
