that Il is.ail mistake. We talked u
over last evening, but we did not know
how to tell you and all the PlaihvieW

did not know how to do so.'
The next day PlninYlew was astonish-
ed for the second time that season. At
party given at Gertrude's house Ger
tride md Mf. Griugs together mude the
smiling announcement that they had
broken their engagement bv MUTUAL

They would be the best OF friends here

that they had not been as much in love
as they thought they were.

as enthusiastic over the tldlngs az
Gertrude, but he was going to Europe
IN few days. and that fact spoke
louder than words. Yes, he was glad to

But at the party there was young
man who seemed hllarl0nsly and su.
pFemaly happy He tnlked to everyone
al once, but his eyes fingered upon Miss
Gertrude as though they would devorr
her. Mr.. and Mrs. Grey were fairly at
tentive to him also, and introduced him
to stranger as "our friend, Mr.. Fow-
Ter, who was stopping here two seasons

to one. HE went back TO the citR-has
been wonderfully successful-we never
thought II OF him; he always seemed
such moth; but you never can tell
how soon a man will settle down."
A few weeks later Plalnvlew had an
other surprise. Really, there was NO end

was an everlasting one. for It was fol-
lowed by wedding bells and orange
blossoms; and over the BRIDES head
