by the restless feet Of Betty Van

This very day she had been herself

library in the Washington square half
Peters. because there were none but
law books there. and Betty. for mis-
chief. had Just put a couple of senti-
mental novels on the table and a copy
of Harper's and of Godey's; then she
had frisked out into the garden. Such
a delicious garden as 1t was. with the
high spiked iron fence matted with ar
Dor vitaes all the year round: with
box bordered paths all gravelly be-
meath her slippered feet; with a little
fountain and deep shade of horse
chestnut and fruit trees; an arbor
matched with grapevines, seats here
and there. and flowers! All the sweet

been married exactly three months.

that he hoped no one would drop In
