As Mrs. Carney was changing some
of the contents of her travelling hand-

of paper fell out aria' fluttered to the

Yet that newspaper clipping would
have interested Alice, would have told
the daughter her mother had se-
lected this particular epot •for their
hard-earned outing. I was in fact,
,
nothing leas an an announcement
of the recent arrivals at the Mimosa
Palace Hotel, among whom figured
Dr. Philip Ardeyrie, celebrated Harle
Street specialist, of London, Engiand.
This man, then—the-opportune 'ref-
erence to hirn—had drawn Jean Cnn-

with Dr. Ardeyrieen Rome nearly two.
years ago she had decided that he
was the one man in the world for
Alice. He had been immensely at-
tracted,' she knew, although Alice at
that time was merely a school girl.
But now one might say that Alice,
though not ret nineteen, was grown
up, and Jean Oarnay—for reasons of
her own—wanted her daughter to
marry young, and. naturally she want-
ed the marriage to be a suitable one
in every way.
Mrs. Carnay nodded, smiling sere
enely. as she faitened a little bunch
of violets in her belt.
"Ready?" she called out.
Alice showed herself in her white
tulle frock with the pink girdle, and
they admired each other with little
naive cries and loving pats.
"Munasey, you've no idea bow nice
you look. I never knew before that
your eyes were the color of violets."
"Don't be silly! Look at youeself.

"Oh, mother, if only this could go

"Never milli. Something may turn

adopted a novel in,ethoci in running a

poaltion that half the line is under

Qyster Bay, British Columbia, and the
rough nature of the land formation
