to figure was this Lizzie of her imag-

were little and shapely-the kind of
feet that would easily tire if Lizzie
stood long before dishpan. but
could dance all night with impunity
And why should she not meet just

The appearance Of an old woman
tottering out and seating herself in
the pale sunshine on n front stoop

streets that end in a pocket.
1t was a narrow, iil-paved, run
down at the curb.
At the end nearest Union street
were dingy, dirty little butcher. baker
and provision shops with slovenly
windows swarming in flies. At the
upper end wretched little houses.
their shabby steps. weatherer.worn
paint, a dilapidated shutter here. a
broken window pane stuffed with
rags there-giving them the slattern-
ly air Of houses habitually in wrap
pers and curl papers.
Sheila Coughlan had never even
heard of Lizzie street. Although she
had poked her nose for news in many
tucked-away places since she had been
on the Evening Mercury. she might
never have discovered it's existence
had not a fire one day held up the
Union street car she was on at a
point that brought the lamp-post with
the Lizzie street sign conspicuously
to her notice.
What a silly name for street: =
was her first thought as she sat in1-
window-then Lizzie street Haunting
the mystery Of it, being right before
her eyes. began to piaue her curiosity.
Whose namesake was Lizzie? For
while a Center street may be on the
outer edge of town: while one can
go the length of a Magnolia avenue
and find only maple trees. obviously
there could not be a Lizzie street
without an original Lizzie to name it
after.
So on the scent of romance, out
of the car hoped Sheila to cherchez
la femme, convinced that Lizzie for
whom the street was named must be
some neighborhood belle.
And as she went up the little street
a girl, young, vivid. colorful, glowed
before her minds eye. A Lizzie with
satiny black hair, flashing black eyes,

see the fireplace and the square of old
twelfth century tapestry above It,
with its faded cream and rose lady in

The foreground was sprinkled with
stiff, sparsely growing flowers, and
among them white unicorn sat upon
his launches with his tiny hoof
against the lady's knee.
Celia was fond of this tapestry. and,
though she didn't care for animals.
she sometimes felt that q little uni.

She smiled now as she lay looking at
IT, for she thought how Padraic OShea

He had called her mysterious, but
she thought that there was some.
