Mrs. Bunting, should tell you, is dear little old
fashioned roypoy with her front hair waved and laid
down smooth each side of her forehead She always
has surprised and scandazed look. Her husband has
been poing fun at her for twenty-five years, and she
still takes him seriously. She's little balmy on the
subject of her Thomas.
1t was great fun getting ready, though Thomas
scarcely left my SIDE and when he did his mother

would drop perfectly transparent hints of what he

He very good looking, Dearest He had that hard
look that softens only for girl you know and every
girl that sees it wants to be it.
The strangest part OF it was instantly began to hate
Thomas in the most unreasonable way. His wr1nkly
white ducks, and his brass buttons, and his yachting
cap, and his marine glasses perfectly ridiculous.
His shoes chung the deck like immense white
pancakes. Thomas made calls eyes, and breathed
heavily down the back of my neck-you know the
how-devoted-I Lam kind. Good Heavens! | thought,
