black alpaca dress. All this little pile
of nlckels and dimes she had earned
selling blackberries,
She made daily pilgrimages to the
shrine at the top Of the house, and
lovingly fingered her accumulated
treasures. She thought-she was al
most sure-she had enough now.
There we're nearly twenty whole dol

When people took wedding trips

could not afford a new dress. But in
some t~repidation she did invest In
white cotton cloth and embroidered

the excitement OF making the un-
wonted finery.
: Her evenings were especially de-
lightful. She would go into the parlor
and bring out the big atlas, and rever
emily turn the pages until she came
to the map of her own state. There
her slim forefinger would find the
black dot which stood for the little
village. and her eyes would gloat over
the unknown world before her.
Just above that dot-where all those
black lines met-was the junction,
and sometimes she held her breath as
she carried her finger away out along
one OF those lines, and stopped with
a little gasp Of delight at the extreme
end of the map. Then she would
draw a long sigh and shake her head.
and, giving a quick little hitch to her
chair, would settle herself TO the de-
llightful task of marking out her we'd
ding Journey.
She would go to the junction by
stage. Then she would follow one OF
those black lines until she came to
that large round ring with a dot In
the middle.

became a settled thing for each re
turning bride to subject herself to the
admiring questions and worshipful

When 1t was that the idea of her
