with half-inch spaces between, each wire

black velvet. This made 1t possible to
bend the brim down close to the hair at
the back, while 1t gave to the front and
sides stiff and new appearance. I
banded the crown with inch-wide black
velvet ribbon, freshly steamed and
brushed, ending in dropping bow and
ends at the back. Then 1 found an old
piece of Satin, made a. large chou of it
and placed it in front, a little toward the
left. This was the permanent trimming
Then, with square inch of stiff buck
lam as foundation made several
smart rosettes, to be fastened to the hat
by means of two snap hooks, such as
are used for closing the packets Of
skirts.
Take notice of that, girls, for I'm GO

halves of these snap hooks l placed On
the stiff foundation of the rosette and
sewed the two corresponding sections

Then at this moment came a girl to
me-a girl with grey eyes and red lips
and budding shape. Her sunbonnet was
pale as the petals that clustered above
IT.; her light form scarcely bruised the
grass as she tripped among the trees. and
the sun flashed upon her white apron.
This small daughter of the spring ap-
preached me whore I sat, and bid me
welcome. and laughed pleasantly to see
me awaken as from the deepest abstrac-
tions at her voice. Her laugh was very
dulcet and so low that 1t mingled mu-
sically with the hum of the bees above
us.

time best, for It's all life an no death

Thus was the thought of promise in her
mind also. A caterpillar on a glimmer-
ing thread swayed between us; I saw
death in his strange shape and knew Of
the battle under every leaf, the leglons
in the egg waiting to burst forth that
they might devour the foliage, burrow
In the fruit, and gan their purpose by

Now this was an offer made because
we were old friends.

well, and nodded and picked spray un-
folding, and pinned 1t to her own breast
until 1t should adorn anothers
Tits lovely, come to think of IT," she
said, looking at the opening buds, whose
golden anthers peeped from each pure
chalice. Then she lifted the spray to
her face and kissed tan action de-
licious to behold.
Presently she bid me farewell and went
upon her way with a little purring
laugh. Youth, simplicity, beauty passed
with her; in her voice was unconscious
praise of the hour; IN her love Of the
blossom, unconscious worship OF it's
Creator.
So, fittingly into an orchard planted OF
men, humanity thus came upon my mu-
sings In fair shape; and from thought OF
women whose hopes centered here, to the
whose failure would cloud their human
hearts. And then, as warm light touch

not without one prayer lifted to Pomona

they make a sort of soft gloom through
the regiments of the tree-stems, where
these spring upwards at all angles, of all

ancient barks. In tones of ripe. messy

boughs and main branches from the

they start oblique; they spring aloft, then
