at her chasserScroisee behind their
fans, the crush, the glare, the empti-
ness of the whole scene, had disap-
pointed her simply as child is dis

Of impossible expectation. In this mo-

j woman; a sense of power, thrill of
vanity, dangerously sweet, il only by
virtue Of their newness, sprang to life
within her heart.

tolerably fair index to Mr.. Barry Ches-
