Mrs. Garrison was not exactly positive of
the bearing of the quotation, but she had
for long made 1t a practice to end all of
her remarks with few words from the
prayer book, the Bible, or the works Of
the Immortal Bard.
The much discussed young couple had
been In New York something over a fort
night, when David returned to Mrs Gar

and carriages of the truly rich. There
was also another reason why Maggie
wished to return home by way of 9th
avenue. That very day, on the way up-
town, she had bought new silk waist,
and so pleased was she with her purchase
that she had worn it to the theater and
had had the old one sent home. Its color
was quite a wonderful green-it reminded
her the moment she first saw 1t of the
green fields and the hot days in summer
when the smell of clover filed the air and
the white tents of the WILDER Allied Shows
glistened like silver in the rays Of the
morning sun. 1t would not be many
months now. thought Maggie. as she
sauntered along 5Sth street. before she
and David would be back again. tramping

and pure the air was there, sleeping I'M

swung into 5th avenue. Her soft round
cheeks were dimpled and her lips wore
a constant smile-a smile not aimed par
ticularly at the passersby, but which en-
veloped all humanity. as well as the car
riages and horses and buildings and heecy
clouds. The bracing air brought the
blood tingling to her already rosy cheeks.
and just from the pure animal joy of liv
ing, Maggie beamed on all about her.

twice as crowded as it was at that, its
busiest hour. it is not possible that the

Perhaps it was the bright. pretty face,
or perhaps 1t was the green waist and the
scarlet hat and the short bicycle skirt,

question that when Maggie passed on

notice.
