Christine hummed softly to herself
rs she mixed the flour and butter to a
pie-crust thickness. The soft, sum-

few seconds and then he said:

La Belle Inconnue.

What wonder that I turned with ardent
face
To contemplate such grace?
Or that in spite of me I fondly loved.
So gazing, unreproved?
Sure all the gentleness of heavens blue
Was there concentered truei
What maiden slimness, delicacy fair,
What patricfan air.
What pure return of g1ances, unashamed
As from soul Unbalanced
What innocence. what beauty and wha

Tomorrow with my lady I'll return
Thy name and rank to learn.
