LIVINGSTO'NE In modernistic gilt letters the wording 'EIDWYNA ARMITAGE, l MODISTE' was affixed to the plate glees window of her shop on Main Street near the Calabash bridge. Having plenty of time an his hands, Angus McGordIe took it upon him- self to supervise the jou of trans- ferring the gold leaf to the window,. and when it was done he was satis- fied that the daintylettering, artis- tically placed to one side of the glass, reflected 'Edwyna's personal charm: Since his retirement from the fur- niture business a few year's preview' ly, McC'ord]e's buoyant nature easily rode the hum -drum of inactivity in a small town often experienced by men 'who retire while still 'in good health. And since Edwyna Armi- tage came to teewn to conduct a mod- iste shop right next door .•;..to his bachelorapartment, he awoke, each morning, in an eager frame of mind. Her coming had widened the range of his thoughts and many of them now wandered, Gypsy -like, Into the far reaches of fancy. Besides, it was spring. McCordle had always been spruce in his appearance, and the little ex- tra attentions he now gave himself, while apparent, were not readiiy placed. For years he had pooh-poohed the idea of using shaving cream, a lather of ordinary toilet soap suffic- ing to soften his whiskers each morn- ing. But that was before Edwyna came. Now, the faint„ pleasant ar- oma of lavender whispered to the observant that the happy-go-lucky bachelor' had become particular to the ultimate degree. His : tan shoes gleamed like mahogany, and his tai- lor gave preferred attention to Angus, in view of an astonishing frequency of his cleaning and pressing require- ments. Three hundred strokes on one side, two hundred on the other, he brush- ed his hair three times a day—morn• ing, noon and night. His teeth came in for new attention, and their gleaming whiteness was reflected in the mirror, before which he praette ed smiling.
