charming love affair that came to a
happy climax with the rest of the
play, all of which was worthy of the
best appreciation.
Monday evening a company of

The play was advertised to be very
funny and if it had made people
laugh it would have been. 1t had

Angry tears came into my eyes. My
scorn for the man who had disinherited
my father, and for his grandson, the
chevalier, had hitherto supported my
spirits; but now, in this realization of
my extremity, felt crushed down by
my misfortunes. Oh, why hadn't

Mary Jenner, and waited until we
could all make up party to go to
England at the close of the school

gotten into the abbey, through the
kindness of your mysterious aviator,
