JOY"
The Primrose Man was arranging
pots of his favorites on south win
dowsill. The rosettes Of young prim-
rose plants had the appearance Of be-
ing eager to grow. The leaves were a
rich, jade green, thick and velvety,
the earth in the pots was moist, and
as the sun shone upon them they
seemed to greet it with gladness.
A sober faced woman sitting among
the pillows Of a big chair watched him
