fathers room. and then went upstairs
to Eve, caught her by the arm, and
drew her into her own room. Barbara
had now completely made up he3 mind
that her sister was to become Mrs
Coyshe. Eve was a child, never would
be other. never capable of deciding
reasonably for herself. Those who
loved her. those who had care of her
must decide for her. Barbara and her
father had grieyously erred hitherto in
humoring all Ewes caprices, now they
must be peremptory with her. and ar
range for her what was best, and force
her to accept the provision made for
her.
What are love matches out miser-
able disappointments? Not quite so
bad as pictured by Mr.. Coyshe. The
reality would not differ from the
ideal as thoroughly a5 the seal from
the painted mermaid; but there was
truth in what he said. A love match
was entered into by two young people
who have idealised each other, and
before the first week is out of the
honeymoon they find the ideal shat
tered, and a very prosaic reality
standing in its place. Then follow dis

thought was maddening to him. He

announced that she wished to send
