Such day a. the two young people
passed together comes not often in
earthly calendars. There was one sub
iect which was forbidden them by hon
or and discretion. They therefore
talked Of other things and thought
only Of that, and the restraint in which
each was held made their true opinions
as open TO each other as the day itself.

tie walls. gazed out upon the sparkling
sea and allowed themselves TO dream

priceless lace left the sweet young
arms bare 10 the dimpled elbow. The
oyerdress or DaHnier. looped with gold
cord on either side. was Of a fugitive
shade OF pale Wild rose; the dress
