The fun proceeds. Ingeborg bought
a ticket and went on the Q. 'ursion to
Lucerne. The eXcursion.sts are pictured
on their way TO Dover. The reader will
feel that IL would have been JOY and
education to have been along. "A sur

formed sort Of dam between these

German gentleman sat becalmed." These
TWO were not long becalme1. They soon
entered into conversation with each

who not long afterward became Inge-
borg's husband.
A number OF admirable drawings by
Arthur Little very skilfully assist the
tex, in making us acquainted with the
German gentleman and with Ingeborg.
We are made TO Understand from the
pictures and from the dialogue that
lngeborg was a slight and childish maid
en- capable OF great deal OF
round eyed wonder and that Herr Drem-

Prussia. was a square. solid man, 80
