the prettiest why possible, and who
thinks, but Is not quite "shunh, that
she's fond of him. In the mean time he,
poor soul. Is In agony until she discovers
absolutely whether she Is or not; but he
will so back to his home fettered with
rose chains and swearing that when a
man wants wife this is the only place
to go and get the right kind. The moon

less arduous than raking hay while the

"A chevalier is more successful In tho
moonlight, for then his lady love Is
softened BY the silvcry beams, and the
quiet beauty of the lovely night fills her
soul and relaxes her resolution. and he
persuades her to pity him in his lonely,
desolate life and. woman-likc, she does
pity him. and after awhile she finds that
she loves him. Then she thinks that

her dress matched her complexion or not.
and IT'S a mighty sweet-temnered woman
that doesn't lose faith in her religion
when her nose gets sun-burnt and wants
to peel.
The White Sulphur girl doesn't worry
about when she will be old and have lost
her beauty, because she thinks she will
be married then; for she is q happy girl.
she expects to be married some day.
and she expects to be n mother some
