the same reason. He didn't come,
though; that is, not till later. But |
stayed around so long after train time
II left myself only about a minute tc
dress; then I just tore up stairs and
began to make things fly.
MY trunk had been packed b
Bridget; l can always tell her pack

bottom and the heavy things en- top;
they were all just that way when /

look for my slippers l could find only
one. searched high and low, an
turned things upside down and wrong
side out until the floor was strewD
from one end to the other; but tina
slipped was not to be found. Their
was only one thing to do about 1t

or go without that slipper. Just the

ing the most conspicuous, and let l.
go at one white foot and one russo

La Blanche l had a box full and
emptied nearly half of it."
We were now halfway around the
inks, and l suggested WE might rest
a few minutes. Kitty had lost he
score long before and was glad enoug'
to stop; so, dropping her elect, and
asking if her hat was on straight, she
drew a long breath and went on. Her
eyes seemed to catch the sparkling
b,ueness CT the water as her gaze rest
ed ruminantly upon the scene befor-
her. and her mind to stray in long
long thoughts, like the flight of the
dipping seagulls overhead.
Its perfectly awful the way those
girls make themselves up in the even
ing. l wouldn't think of doing su h
4 thing-that is, not often-but SEEING
what preparations they were all max

try it a little bit. too. So l took q
pencil and made a beautiful arch OF
my eyebrows and a lovely shadow un-
d%erneath. 1t really did make a won
derful improvement; my eyes looked
twice their usual size, almost as large
as Ethel's. But the light wasn't good
in my room, so | skipped down to
Nette's where there was a chandelier.
She was whitening the girls necks

get the miserable color off, but 1t was
so thick it seemed to stick to every
individual hair. The girls thought it
was a very funny joke. They all
gathered around ana made suggestions
and poked fun at me, till all at once
Nette gave a shrek and said: What
in the world have you done to your
eyes, chi.d?' l said: oh, nothing, does
it show l thought she was going
to have a fit. She tried to tell me,
but every time she looked at me she
went of in such a gale of laughter
the tears ran down her cheeks and
made little furows through the Ca
melline.' Finally she got a glass and
said: You look as if you had been
