being made of him. But when
she went on In the same even
way her absolute faith in the marvels
she talked of as mere incidents be-

At other times when she is burdened
by mental distress she seems an Old
woman. She is perhaps five feet three
inches in hight, with we'll rounded
figure She wears no corsets but her
frocks are simple and becoming.
Her dark chestnut hair is worn In a

candor that can never be acquired but
