adage-she is so obscure, so absolutely

sympathy upon her.

Ledyard, Miss Florida Smith and Mrs
Jack Harper. The two latter were young
end pretty women. Miss Ledyard could
hardly be included in this category, al
though she was a stately, fine looking
woman Of some five and thirty summers
The three ladies had been chatting
earnestly as they stitched away on their
work-embroidered centerpieces worsted
shawls, doll clothes and what not. which
were intended for the fair. The talk,
which had centered. principally about
Mrs. Jack Harper's husband and Miss
Florida Smiths fance, was beginning TO
pall little upon Miss Ledyard who
was made to feel rather conspicuous in
having no male possession whose virtues
she could extol and whose little eccen-
tTicities laugh over
The appearance OF Miss Ledyard's maid,
Lucy. gave q new turn to the CONVERSE
