Alice was busy with herself for
two hours after dinner; but a little
before 9 o'clock she stood In front of
her long mirror. completed, bright
eyed and solemn. Her hair, ex-
qUisitely arranged, gave all she asked
of 1t; what artifcialities in color she
had used upon her face were only
bits Of emphasis that made her pref
tiness the more distinct; and the
dress, not rumpIed by her mothers
careful hours of work, was a white
cloud Of loneliness. Finally, there
were two triumphant bouquets of
violets, each with the stems wrapped
in tin-foil shrouded by bow of pur-
pie chiffon; and one bouquet she wore
at her waist and the other she car

clared. Her papau think the same
as I do about it. You see, If he
doesn't say she's purely and simply

Adams did not fulfill the prediction
quite literally when Alice paid a brief
visit to his room to show him and
bid him goodnight; but he chuckled
