ROSALBA'S FUTURE.
Copyright. 1918. by W. wernerl

When ,Rosalba Iced got her first job
n. stenograpi1er in the office of Perley &
Dunn her Aunt Euphemia, with whom
she lived. said to her: I've always
thought, Saba. when you got to earning
money I'd have a little plain talk with
YOU. There's something I want you to
know. Are you ready to listen?"
Yes, aunty." answered Rosalba- She
had been saying Yes, aunty,' in just
that obedient tone ever since she was
old enough to say anything
We'll. then" said Aunt Euphemia,
"wbat I've got to say is this: You're

that as well as ]. A girl has TO he smart

It was no news TO Rosalba that she
was not smart and pretty and that heF
;ns more for her than they already had
done She felt that they had done quite
enough. for she had grateful heart.
II is true she had always worn her
cousin I,uelIa's old clothes and had taken
second place in everything. But then
what could she expect? II it were not

anything in my life he said gently.
And Rosalba saw that he really
meant it.
Afterward he told her that he loved
her and insisted that a six-week en-
gagement was plenty long enough.
Rosalba, with a dazzling new ring on
her hand, felt. as if her dreary little
world was spinning around her in all
the colors Of the rainbow. She told
Arthur about the money she had saved
for the future.
II shan't need it now. shall II" she
said.
Arthur laughed. Il should say not"
he replied. DO you know what I'd
do with it II 1 were you? ia buy my
trousseau with it. Then you'll feel
that you haven't saved it in vain."
"Why, that's Just what I'll dol" cried
Rosalba And, oh, Arthur. do you
