my chief consolation is that in your
heart you care no more for him than

mantle looks and high-flown speech.
l pray earnestly, dear child, that you
do not throw away beyond recall the
substance for the shadow"
And Aunt Jean left Margaret to her
own not very happy reflections.
On a Saturday aftcsnoon not long
after this conversation Margaret went
for stroll in the park with Mr.. Har-
riston. 1t was an ideal red gold and
green autumn day. Every grass plot
in the park was filled with gay,
laughing children, but finally Mar

How can you ask me to do any

in no danger. The children will"
But waiting to hear no more Mar
garet sprang up and ran after the
quickly moving little vehicle.
Her hair came down, her pompa-
dour wilted. and her beautiful puffs
were lost forever.

In the sunbeam's golden wake there
