TIME next weeks were full of hur-
ry, hubbub and perturbation,
Our house was turned upside
down. Milliners. sewing maids and
dressmakers were working day and
night. Flowers. feathers and silk
remnants were flowing like sea -wracl
into every room. orders were given,
orders were retracted and given
again and then again retracted
Such flying up and down stairs!
Everybody so GREATNESS! Everybody
so happy, Every face wearing a
smile. Every tongue ripping with
laughter! The big gray mansion
which used to seem SO chill and cold

JOY.
In the midst of these busy prepar-
ations | had no time to think. My
senses were excited was dazed
stunned, wrapped round by kind OF
warm air of dollhouse happiness, and
this condition OF moral intoxication

Our neighbors began to visit us. My

slapped his lOrdship sharply on the

into the drawing room.

A few minutes afterward the

silver haired terrier was missed, and
for the first time that day his lord
