boarding house that Nellie was to
marry Mr.. Fallon. Most Of the
boarders were kind, and congratu-
lated her nicely. Miss Pitt, true
to her acid disposition, however,
added after saying few conven-
tional words:
"Such marriages aren't always
happy. ! have always believed a
woman should marry in her own
class"
"And what would you consider
my elass?" Nellie asked, annoyed.

self, or a bookkeeper perhaps.
Then there are many men in trades
who are far more suitable hus-
bands for a working girl than rich
society man. That is only my opin-

lively unhappy. 1t was more as

"No matter how long ! live or
what happens never shall forget
how kind you have been to me-"
Nellie said impulsively to Mrs
Roberts. ''No mother could be
kinder to her own daughter--the
mothers I have known anyway"
"I feel almost like mother to.

piled. "You have brought new
