Frank went off to a one horse tows la the moantaisa, stopping at a hotet sear by. I went to a large sea- side city where there were thousands of people coming and going every day. It was very nice to be In the whirl, but unfortunetety I struck a spell of bad weather. For three days there was nothing but rain and fog. Then a chill northeast wind sprang up, and 1 tbougbt I should freeze. The chil- dren, who had anticipated so much pleasure playing in the sand and run- ning In baro legs in the foam, couldn't go out at all. and I was obliged to devote myself to them all the while. I couldn't play nurse and wear good clothes; besides. the wenther was too cold for my thin dresses. So there I was. I had been on the coast for three days when I received a letter from Frank saying that he was doing splendidly in the mountains. The weather there was Inc. the air was bracing, and It seemed as if he drew la strength with every breath. He sup- posed 1 and the children sat all day on the beach with tbe warm sun pouring down on us (when it wasn't too hot) watchlag the beautiful bine waves roll In. He could almost hear the children laughing and shouting as they ran about In the sunshine. And he could fancy me dressed In those clothes 1 had been all winter preparing for tbe occasion looking as pretty as a peach mingling with well dressed people. Wasn't It aggravating? I just made up my mind that I'd watt ti1l the first week was up and (f the weather didn't mend I'd pack up and join Frank. There wasn't any use to my staytng where I was on account of my clothes when 1 couldn't wear them. and If I were with Frank he could relieve me of the children. He would have had a week's absence from them and would now doubtless he glad to tike them out walking and driving and boating. Well, the weather didn't Improve - that is, It cleared up for one day, then the clouds came again and It was worse than ever. Every day 1 studied the weather reports, and when on the sixth day there was a predlctlon that another storm was collecting to some eat of the way place In northwestern Canada I telegraphed Frank that 1 was ceming and took the neat trills.
