me, dad?''
"Well-yes! want to see this bank,

thing right now"

denim dress of blue. Her other hand
was toying with her beads mechanical

task from long practice. Her dusky
eyes were fast upon the lights that

AS if to prove that the spot was
really peopled by kind spirits. a gentle
voice seemed to whisper the news to
her and she turned to find him smiling
at her. She rose and met him with
her hands outstretched. her face trans

After time she leaned backward in

Mexican Love of Flowers

There is one unfailing charm about
Mexican houses, writes H. Hamilton
Fyfe in the Daily Mail. That is the
charm of flowers. All Mexicans love
flowers. Their homes present to the
street bare, unlovely walls, with
barred and close curtained windows.
Very often, though, you get a glimpse
as you pass the open door of a patio
where the sunlight fiickers on green
leaves and vivid blossoms. Always
you may count upon such an interior
even if you cannot see it.
