have to be, and do all. sorts Of labor
ious and unwomanly tasks, according
to our American ideas. In fact. the
traveller in Italy is almost convinced
that the women do all the work, while
the men do the talking. Age Is no bar

He's face and she gazed back at him,

surfing. 1t was a frank, manly face

explained. II thought when you called,

The man uttered low exclamation.

II couldn't think Of troubling you so

Regretfully. the man turned the ma

It was then that Mollie blamed the
witchery Of the night for the prompt
ness Of her eager consent.
When the car halted at last before
the old folks home the man turned to
her.
LET me drive you home" he begged.
.after I have found my charge"
The arrival at Aunt Millicent's was
strangely confusing. Reverend James
rushed out to meet the car before It
had barely stopped.

greeted. "And you, John Burrows;
