 Snowballs filled many of the vases on mantels and buffets, while the consolation trophy, itself an Easter rabbit and candy eggs, was drawn from nest. The punch bowl stood in a nest of green intermingled with snowball blossoms, and was grace fully presided over by Miss Margaret Bradshaw. An ice course served after the games followed the Easter suggestion.
 The two prizes were lovely. For the men, the hostess chose a handsome stick pin, while the prize which rewarded the skill of the girls was a cut glass vase.

months later Mrs. Robinson adopted An nabelle, and now they are making a trip around the world"
 That was miracle not less wonderful, since you speak of 1t, than an incident know of," said Billy Bunting. Do you recall Jimmy Vance, the fellow I took to see you one evening about two years ago?"
 That pink-headed, freckled-faced, blue eyed man from Georgian asked Polly.
 "One and the same," answered Billy Bunting. Well, he went west to grow up with the country and make a fortune out of mining.
 Did he?" asked Polly.
 Hes now in Gay Farce buying auto mobiles, aeroplanes, and anything that happens to strike his fancy was the answer.
 Then he did, declared Pelly.
 'Yes; and the story Is quite similar to the one you have just tod.' said he Jimmy went to Denver and struck out along the prescribed lines to look for pay dirt He had no knowledge of min ing, and very little money. Just abou. the time his nerve gave out, and he was thinking of 'hot-footng' 1t back home. he ran up on a wizened old miner wno was sick and miserable, and Jimmy 'mothered' him and 'doctored' him, and made him very comfortable and happy The old miner begged him not to go back home, but come and go with him, to a. place he had 'hunch about, where

Did you ever happen to hear of the man in the Bible. Billy Bunting, who en- tertained the three angels unawares?' Polly solemnly asked.
 The man who was questioned scarcely ever commits himself upon what books he has or hasn't read, least of all the Bible, but once when pinned down to the serious truth confessed thar he had never read but two books In all his life and they were ''The Man on the Box and "Graustark," or something equally as up- lifting.
 Angels unawares?' he echoed her par rot-like, once he had got his breath. What are you talking about, eh?"
 There was man In the Bible," said Polly more solemnly than ever, named

there was gold up in the gulch.' Jimmy went. They struck it rich in less than two weeks, and became the sole owners of the mine and that's why Jimmy is now In Paris buying autos and aeros, and anything else thtt comes his way"
 And they are both are living happy ever after" suggested Polly.
 You bet they are!' said Billy Bunting, enthusiastically. "Jimmy's luck seems to indicate that his income will be steady from now on."
 Luck nothing!' snapped Polly. "There isn't any luck about it. People who en . certain angels unawares don't take any chance on luck. They get big and shin ing rewards the very next day.
 1T guess you are right" said Billy Bunting. There's the young man, for instance, who picked up the old gentle mans pencil when it rolled in a crack on the street car one morning-and five years later the old gentleman (who had asked his name and had corresponded with him ever since), died and left him a million dollars in his will
 Leaving out all question of returns said Polly. Entertaining angels un- awares is it's own reward, and I've come to the conclusion that it would pay us all to get out our opera glasses and scan the horizon for angels to entertain"

Tt is almost like one, or a fairy story" said Polly. Tt seems Annabelle was on the train going home-or to what she called home, after finishing her term as teacher in Miss Gray's Finishing School for Girls. On the train was this queer little Mrs. Robinson, who didn't look as if she ever saw a dollar. The Het.y Green kind. Something happened; the train was derailed; nobody noticed the poor little old woman; Annabelle did
 She thought she was poor and lonely; at any rate, when the passengers started to hotel at a nearby station Annabelle got the little old woman and asked her to go in the hack with her. She got her a room and something to eat. To make a long story short they got to be very good friends before the next train came and the little old woman asked her to accept the position as companion to her.

I've got letter here," said Polly looking at the handwriting on the en- velope rather scrutinously. "It's from Annabelle Johnson. She's in London. You remember she went abroad with Mrs. Robinson"
 "Who is Mrs. Robinson?'' asked the man.
 She's an angel unawares," Polly de- clared. "Annabelle played Abraham to her last summer and she is now reaping her just rewards. She happened to meet her somewhere on the train.
