A month passed away, and a curious
month 1t was to Audrey. Every day she
sat with her mother studying French
and Italian, and having her first lessons
on the piano and in singing. Audrey
lived in her dreams and in her studies.
She was so strangely, incomprehensibly
happy. To define her condition Of mind
would be an impossibility. 1t seemed to
her as though some fairy had suddenly
touched her with a wand, and everything
about her had changed to this delightful
existence. In dim, misty sort OF way,
she recognized that she had become a
grand lady, but that was not by any
means certainty.
She wrote often to Jean Thwait and
reiterated her VOWS Of never-eAding love,
but somehow jeans letters panied her
and left sort of discomfort.
Jean, in fact, was alarmed at all that
had happened to her whilom friend, and
now that Audrey was a grand married
lady she was separated from her humble
childhoOd's companion by a social chasm
they could never bridge over, therefore
Jean wrote timidly and with much con-
straint and both girls sighed over the
simple yet strong friendship which had
lived and now was ended.

was going out in the most approved leon
inc fashion. How the wind blew, and
how dreary the gray skies looked above
the tossing trees.
