CHAPTER XIX.
THE END OF THE STORY.

Paris in June! Do you know 1t,
with its bright days and its soft nights,
murmurous with voices? Paris with its
crowded paVements--and such q crowd,
where every man and woman awakens
interest, excites speculation! Paris,
with its blue sky and it's trees, and its
color-and its fascination there is no
describing.
Joy is a great restorer, and a week OF
happiness In this enchanted city had
wrought wonders in our junior and his
betrothed. 1t was good to look at
them--to smile at them sometimes; as
when they stood unseeing before some
splendid canvas at the I1ourve. The
past was put aside, forgotten; they
lived only for the future.
And a near future, too. There was
no reason why 1t should be deferred;
we had all agreed that they were bet
ter married at once; so, that decided,
the women sent us about our own af-
fairs, and spent the intervening fort
night In a riot Of visits to the cos
tuner; for, In Paris, even for q WY
quiet wedding, a bride must have her
trousseau. But the great day came at
last; the red tape of French admih-
istration was successfully unknotted; |;
and at noon they were welded, with
only we three for witnesses, at the
Boulevard Montparnasse.
There was little breakfast after
ward at Mrs. Kembalps apartment, and
then our hostess bade them adieu, and
her daughter and drove with them

minister noticed that something was
WRONG: the boy in front was not carrying
anything. He leaned over the pulpit, and
In order to avoid attracting attention, he
chanted In tune to the song they were
singing:

The little darky. with great presence Of

THE NEWEST HAMMOCK.

To lie out under the trees drinking IN
the tonic air of summer 1t is no longer
necessary to tie yourself up in a bow
knot or to feel as If you had been
dumped down into the very bottom OF
big canvas bag. A new hammock
that is such an Improvement on the old
that there can really be no comparison
fills the long felt want of every man or
woman who really cares for outdoor
life.
1t is more like comfortable couch
swung from trees or porch, and is large
enough to conveniently hold half
dozen. Two strips of canvas laced to-
gether with leather thongs are fastened
to a wooden framework from each end
is hung another piece OF canvas: from
these the cords are strung that form
the part through which the ring is fas-
tened. An upholstered cushion sets
within the wooden rim, and with big
soft pillows at either end the new ham
mock OF 1907 Is certainly JOY and de-
light.
