The PAIRING of Darby and Joan.
By VIRGINIA LEILA VENT.

They had entered by the West Sixty
third street gate at 8 o'clock, and al
though they had now been two hours
In the park, they had not wandered
very far. There was pathos of con-
trast between these two shabby old
people, with their awkward paper bun
dies, and the bright grass and foliage,
the volatile squirrels cantering over the
lawns, the alert synmetries of the
birds! There was such a hooking diff
ference between the outside garb of
nature and human nature!
The decrepit old man laboriously
arose from the bench upon which they
had been sitting, and now, with his
bundle under his arm, stood chewing a
blade of grass, staring steadily but in
curiously at his boots. The woman
watched a butterfly which rested with
spread wings on a honeysuckle bush
hard by.
"Shall we be moving on, Peggy"
the man asked at last. On the meadow
across the path was gray rock, with
plenty of tall, uncut clover grass grow
ing about the base. Without answer
