of events. When had his mother Edith?

"Mr. Angler will tell you himself, my dear young
lady said the solicitor, speaking from the open
doorway. He had overheard Warren's exclam-

When we build our castle some day, dear heart
All the blessings we've CLEANED from life
Shall be clustered there, in garden fair,
With the gate safely barred from strife.
When we build this castle some day, somewhere,
The jewels of joy we have known
Shall sparkle in halls and on vine-clad walls,
From whence all the sorrows have flown.
In this wonderful castle somewhere brave heart,
The years that now wildly flee
Shall backward roll, as pure, white scroll
To golden eternity.

from gowns ordered this early in the

the use of medallions is, no matter what

dainty embroidery and add a tiny frill of
