I mean that I did not approve just because there was absolutely no flaw to be founkin it It was a perfect suc- cess, from oysters to coffee." Renwick looked puzzled. "1 understand perfectly what Miss Ship- ley means," began Mrs. Brown, "and I agree with -her entirely.. A bachelor has no right to have everything so flawless. It is not complimentary to our sex to show Us you can get on so admirably without us. ' Now in just a 'faux pas' or two there would have been .such a subtle compliment to our superi- or genius, don't you know." "Yes," acknowledged Margaret, "that was it. And besides, the entire suite was too perfect, 1 object on prnaciple to a bach- elor living so comfortably. Why, what will become of our dearly cherished plati- tudes about the cheerless hall room,the un - darned foot -wear, and all that?" " So you think we are a bit too comfort- able,we bachelors, do you?" "Certainly. You men constantly lay the blame upon us, and say we are bronght up. too luxuriously, and you say you do not dare to make ifs give up so much and accept your humble homes. But do you want to know the real truth " I am always anxious to learn, especially from so charming.a teacher." "It's yott who are . too se lfish to give up what you have and live in any plainer ,Nstyle."0 I assure you we really can't afford it. Its becoming more and more of a luxury every year." Nonsense. You mean to say; ten thou- sand dollars; a year for a bachelor means Fifth Avenue apartments, horses, T -carts, dinners,. Persian rugs, and all that. For a -= family man it means merely respectable com- petency in a side street." " Ha, ha! bow you put it." But it is gospel truth," 'assented the hostess. " Pm sure there is nothing for us to do but make a raid upon your Swell bach- elor apartment and foiCe you back to the -hall room," "But I assure you," said Renwick, with a shrug, "1 am really quite disconsolate. I think I should accept the hall iroom as a positive improvement upon What I have now." HiS remark was greeted with a de- risive laugh. Really I fear I cannot re- main where I am," be added. " Indedd ! after all these years ?" " Yes ; they have changed janitors." " What ! the perfect, the ubiquitous No- bles hats gone ?" "Gone," responded Renwick, gravely. • "You don't say so !" exclaimed Mrs. Brown. "Why, he was the most -wonder- ful man. He could do anything, from cook- ing a delicious dinner- even to dusting a room as a woman would do it." "Ys," said Margaret, 'I peeped into the corners, and they really Were swept." "You may well condole with me " said Renwick. "They have put a marvel of in- capp.City into his lamented Place." Good !" cried the hostess. "Good 1" she repeated, clapping her hands. - " What ! you are all arrayed against me? That is very unkind. Besides, I shan't be able to give any more dinners." "Oh, but there is more chance now that you will see the follies of benighted bachelor- hood, and may mend your ways." Yes, old fellow," spoke up a young bene - diet from the corner, as long as you must leave the Balfour, it's comparatively easy to take the great step, you know." "There's one thing sure," laughed an- other, "now's your last chance. Once get comfortably settled again and you'll never reform. Remember, you are no longer sweet seventhen." The poor little maid was wofully pale. Alas! What was all this ? In her young philosophy of life men fell in love and mar- ried -marriage was but the necessary, the inevitable sequence of love: . Margaret read these thoughts- from the expressive face. How long ago it seemed to her since she, too, had shrunk from this light baclina,ge on subjects that had been to her as sacred. This little girl interested her strangely. Why should she not try to open Renwick's eyes to the real „ink -chief he was -inflicting? She was quite Sure that at heart he was not a bad fellow; only careless and thoughtless. She wouldtry. . It was skilfully, managed on her part that she rose from the table in the midst of a con- versation that he would be in duty bound to continue with her after; the cigars. He ame to her whereshe had selected the quieteit corner of the dimly lighted conserv- tory. •' Her heart ached when the white hiffon flattered -by, and the great gray eyes ooked at her at once wisthilly and reproach- uily Forgive me," she niurmured, as tile ttle figure passd on. "It is for you that do it: It may do no good, but I am going o " She has worn .uncommonly well," hought Renwick, as he sank into a low hair by Margaret's side and regarded her ith interest. The low -cut -black silk, edged with fluffy ostrich bands, became her well. It was a cool, fine face, well set upon the shoulders. There was an atmosphere of ele- gant composure about her that pleased him. But Margaret had not always felt so thoroughly composed when he was near her. In that past which now seemed a dream- to her this corner in the eonservatory with this man by her side would have been little short of paradise to her; her heart would have beaten so turbulently that speech would have been difficult, ahnost painful. The pungent sweet odor of an orange - plant behind. her stirred her deeply. With what an irresistible power a remembered odor can sweep aside the years and make the past live again. She tried' to imagine ib was all the same, that nothing had changed; tried to imagine that her heart did beat turbulently; tried to imagine that her cheeks were flushed; tried to imagine her entire being vibrating and pe,lsating in the ecstasy of her youthful dor. ar "1 wonder why Nftmen do not oftener ear black' in the evening?" Renwick's voice oke in upon her reverie.' A little shiver n through her as she looked up and really. - in one swift glance how utterly indiffer- t he was to her, how irrevocably lifeless as her first young love. " Perhaps they are afraid it will be taken mourning for their past youth," she re- ied, with a low sigh. " Oh, Miss Shipley, how. unnecessarily tel you are to yourself. You know in ur heart that you ,vere never half so bean- ul as you are now, "Ah, its well I am sophisticated enough accept your pretty compliments with - t taking them too seriously," she said htly. • There you are.

" Whose fault is it? not a single season enough to teach us in re self-defence to be self-contained, to be pticitl, to be cynical?" 'Aren't you a little hard on us?" Hard on you ?" she laughed, and there s bitterness in her laugh. " Why, I w a girl that was the most inexperienc- the most credulous, the most romantic, most fervent, themostpoetic girl" he hesitated. And ?"

To Margaret Shipley, as she drew off her long gloves and placed the napkin upon her lap, there was a certain malicious satisfac-‘ tion in John Renwick being by her side. On hie right was a lady whose deafness would have barred her from dinners if it.'had not been for her husband, whose genial manners and entertaining stories made him indispen: sable; so it looked as if during a long din- ner John Renwick could do nothnig better than devote himselftto his neighbor on the left. -Margaret could see between the silver candelabra and the tall. chrysanthemums a - dainty figure in pure white chiffon, a very young person with a soft mass of pale brown hair, great gray eyes, a,nd a telltale little mouth which drooped very considerably. Now to her, thought Margaret, this dinner Is a dreadfully mismanaged affair, a, bitter failure, a mere dull succession of undis- tinguishable courses. She had watched the r lithe young figure bound up the stairs, fling I aside its wraps, and hasten into the parlor, trembling and vibrating with an intensity of emotional life which Margaret, with a sigh, acknowledged to herself could* never again be hers. The composed, stately Miss Shipley trailed her long black silk after the fluffy white chiffon, and she could see John Renwiar bend over the radiant • girl before he received his orders to escort Miss Ship- ley to the dinner. The light was instantly quenched in the speaking gray eyes when he obediently offered his arm to Miss Shipley, murmuring some complimentary expression skint the pleasure it afforded him, etc., etc. It would not have been John Renwick had he failed to do that. Margaret ate her oysters savagely., " Little goose," she thought; "doesn't she a know he is not in earnest? Must she make c herself miserable over the first pair of black I eyes she meets ?" With the soup there come a change; her indignation was directed entirely against 11 the man at her side. What right had he to flit about, season after season, from one debutante to another? What right had he to bend before the freshest bud just long enough to extract the first delicate perfume, and then hie away at the merest suggestion w of- the opened flower 2 With the fish came an overwhehning com- passion for the disconsolate little maid, stir- ring up in Margaret's breast a force of pent- up wrath against the indifferent cause of the suffering. Many things. were brought back to Margaret as she watched the sad face before her, and yet ib seemed impossible to realize that she herself had been just such a sensitive, flatering bit of pink and white. Could it be true that only. seven winters ago she, too, would have cried all night over her pillow had John Renwick de- voted himself to a prim old thing (alas, our youthful scorn of twenty-five!) and not to her? "Let me See," she calculated- rapidly, as she endeavored to solve the mystery of an entree and at the same time respond to some light remark-" let me see. It was Seven years ago, and I was not the first -they took good care that I should know that - and I was cut out by that Brownlow who married from pique. There she is now, as faded and pale as a ghost. And there must have been plenty more. Why, the man's- a perfect ogre!" `` You seem to have a personal grudge gainst that fillet, Miss Shipley," remarked enwick, as he watched her thrust her knife nto yielously. " I'm pretending it is 'somebody I know," he answered. "1 did net suspect you were capable of uch very dangerous emotions," he said, miling. "Aren't ,you going to invite us again, Mr. enwick ?' asked a lady, leanina across the able. "Wo are all dying to have another eep at your beautiful rooms." " Did you enjoy it?" he asked, in Ma,rga- et`s ear. " It was certainly a delightful dinner,'' le replied. " I am glad that it met with your appiev- . ," he said. " Yes, Mrs. Brown, we mustrtainly have another." "But it didn't meet with my approval at 1," boldly- exclaimed Margaret. "Were the ducks overdone ?" he ask.ed. " What could I have fotmd so fascinating that man ?" she thought. " No ; they ere done to a turn. Even our Baltimore a R i. s s s R t P r sl al ce al in w friend. admitted that." , was "Ah, I have it: The candle shades were ed, not becoming." the " No ; you haven't guessed it yet."

"0h, merely a self-steffioient young man, *w -ho was enough of an epicure to enjoy only the fresh young loveliness of those that stand on the threshold of the social world." "Is it so very dreadful, then, when they ha,ve passed it?' . "Very dreadful, Very dreadful indeed." "1 suppose this young man thought that a certain amount of disenchantment was necessary, and so -and so-" . "And so he might as well be the one to dispel -the enchantment, thereby perforniing a, deed of charity and securing his own un - Selfish pleasure at the same time !" "Well, it does seem es if a girl is bound to have her first love affair. We men never flatter ourselves. We merely reflect that to a girl entering society everything is 'couleur de rose.' We are conscious of assuming heroic proportions when the light is turned on us. We merely .do as the stage hero does after his great speech, When he steps for- ward into the rays of the calcium light." "But," she said, "the stage herd is more honest; he foolsi no one. We know he is conscious of the red light, of the bravosAand the applause. But you know how very teal it is to our poor little novice.• You know her sincerity, her earnestness,her frankness. Tell me, have you never taken advantage of that frankness? Have her very grave confessions never served merely to amuse you ?" "They have," he answered.. " Yes ; that has always been her chief charm to me. She is so ready to lay bare the depths of her childish little heart, so ready to discuss with grave eyes and bated breatIrthe solemn problems of love and marriage, of soul and personal magnetism, and- , "And, in short, everything that the more sophisticated girl would lightly avoid." Renwick noclIcled. Margaret continned scornfully "1 have heard of your elegant men of leisure, who order their champagne to be poured away in waste until the very,heart of it lies im- prisoned in the iglass. And so you consist- ently treat the nnocent young girls who en- ter society bubbling over with verve and spirits, and, what is more, with unquestion- ing, unrestrained faith and trust. You in- sinuate yourself, and lo! all this treasure is before you to quaff at your will. Neither are you satisfied until: you have drained all its delight, just as you drain the heart of the wine." There was a pause. Then Margaret said in a low tone: "You spoke of the ''couleur de rose' of a girl's first season. If I could only paint you the ineffable gloom of -the gray that suc- ceedit." In the opposite corner a slight figure in white chiffon sank wearily upon a sofa. She sat there before them, wan and haggard. In her nervous, restless hands were some withered roses which she broke and scatter: ed. Silently they watched the delicate petals fall, one by one, crushed upon the neon Renwick walked home that night)con- vinced that Margaret had recited a bit from her own history. Be went a step farther, and blunderingly inferred that she was still in love with. him. Notwithstanding our saws and our maxims to the contrary, there are times and tides in a ina,n's life when the belief that a woman loves him first turns his thoughts towards her, It flattered Ren- wick to think that she bad been SQ constant to him during seven long years. Ind%ed, it was no in.ean triumph for him for he could recall half a dozen fellows Who had been dismissed from their devotions to her. He liked her family. - One by one its members passed in review before his mind, ancl one by one they were solemnly stamped with his approval. It 'would be a thoroughly de- lightful family to marry into. There would be no mother-in-law,. ancl her father was a courtly old gentleman of exquisite manners and fine reserve; there was one brother who had married one of the prettiest women in New York, and the other brother was one of the best all-round athletes in town. He was conscious, in an amused sort of way, how different it had been when he fell in _ love with her seven years ago. Then be had not cared whether her parents were }Endo°. of African. He nad enjoyed being with. her, and he had not cared to look any farther into the future. She was pretty, naive, romantic andsusceptible; ancT he had plunged into the delights of a, fresh flirta- tion, permitting himself to be carried along with the tide of his emotions, assured that it would land him safe and dry at the end of the season -if not sooner. He had been carried on thus before; he knew that he would not be wrecked, nor washed too for- cibly against the rocks of passion. It had never eccurred to him that perhaps this same tide if she abandoned herself to it also, might leave her on a waste and barren isle, crushed and helpless. To -night, for the first time, he had been shown the other- side -her side. He had been quite frank with her; the brittle hearts of the very young girls had seemed to him to be made for the braking -as if a heart cemented with experience Was a safer and more serviceable organ fer future wear and tear. He never fancied that they took it so seriously. Perhaps Margaret had been peculiarly sensitive. It was impossible to believe that all girls suffered so. A vision of the desolate little figure in white chiffon came before him: the great gray eyes, the throat trembling with suppressed sobs, the faded petals upon the flobr. "What brutes we are !" he exclaimed, as he put the latch- key in the door. The following day Ren- wick sat over his- breakfast, grumbling and dissatisfied. The omelet was burned, the chopaunderdone, and the . coffee execrable. "Hang it all !" he exclaimed. "It's come to this -either he or I have got to go." His cousin Walter ran in for a minute, and laughed at his grumbling. " Get married,man ; get married. That's the only thing left when the glorious free- dom of a 'bachelor yields nOthing better than burned omelet and burned chops." Renwick did not take the advice so pleasantly as he would have a: few weeks ago, or even a few days ago. He had al- ways replied to such teasings in the past, with a careless laugh and shrug. It had seemed so impossible to imagine himself as really married and settled down, Somehow, to -day he did not laugh ;- he did not even smile; instead, he growled, bearishly, "Why don't you take your own advice?" "Well, perhaps I aim about to," was the reply. Renwick looked up quickly. "What, really.?" . . "Yes," said Walter, gravely ; "and, what's more, I think you used to be a bit sweet on her yourself." But hedeclined to commit himself further. Renwick smiled. grimly when 1 his cousin left. "Humph !" he said to himself ; "not very apt to be my style. Used, to be sweet on her. Well, I guess I'm quite over it now. We are not apt -to fall in love with the sante kind of girl. . Who on earth is go- ing to take him 9 Awfully good fellow'and all that sort of thing....make a capital hus- band....but he's so frightfully in earnest... no life in him....It's about time. he settled down....getting horribly gray,' and he smoothed his own jet locks With com- placency. A few more days of burned omelets and underdone chops, and Renwick was a fit and willing sacrifice for the altar of Hymen. Of course he would -not have put it in just that way. He was honestly in love this tithe -for the first time in his life ; his early flirtatious ought never to havebeen dignified with the name of love affairs. Oh no ! This time he was mastered by an entirely differ- ent kind of love. It never occurred to him that possibly there is but one kind of lOve, but that there are many different circturt- stances under which one falls in love. This time loVe had come to him at a moment par- ticularly propitious to the god of marriage. Four weeks after the dinner he proposed to Margaret Shipley. She could have cried as she saw the apples of Sodom plucked and heaped into her unvvilling hands. "Oh," she ex.clairned, passionately, "why do you come to nie now? There was a time when your indifference nearly killed me. I think I would have willingly gone to purgatory with you if you had asked me then." Renwick answered, gently, "1 know that very precious time has been waisted, but we shall try to make it all up." : She cfid not seem to hear him. "1 could have given you," she went on, dreamily, what no man OEM have now -the first, un- questioning love of my girlhood." - "Do not regret that," he said, stopping forward "1 do not want that. I would rather have the reasoning, mature love that you can give me now." Then she understood. She started back from him. "But r have no love of any kincl to give you now. It is all dead. You killed it yourself.. That is why it all seems so dreadful to ine-Lthis love offered to me so long after it was looked for -longed for. I told you that, once fled, the couleur de rose nevercomes back. Why do you try to revive it ?" "Because I love you." "But you loveci me then; at least I think you must have -for a time -and yet you never wanted to marry me. You have loved other gills too, and you have not wanted to marry them." It is strange," assented Renwick; "1 wonder if I can. make a woman -understand ? I did love you.; I have loved other wo- men, as you -say -that is, I suppose it was a kind of love. Yet I give you my word that you are the only woman that I ever wanted to marry. Marriage always seemed utterly apart from me, somehow.' "Ah, I see," she said. "Nobles has gone, and you have been forced to take the advice of your friends." "That is a taunt," he said, hotly; "and yet, say what you please. Who can tell just what enters into the composition of love? You know it defies all analysis. Who cares what considerations, what' complex emotions, go to make it up? I only know, only care, that I love yon now, and that I want to marry you, and it will be the aim of my life to make you forget that I was ever unkind to you." "And I know that 1 do not love you, and do not care to marry you." He was just a trifle angry now. " But I thought -I thought," Margaret madam quick gesture. "I see. You thought I still did love you r i Renwick nodded. "You magined," she continued, "that I was speaking for my- self the other night. Iundersta,nd. It was very magnanimous of you." " There s no magnanimity about it, but I confess I did misunderstand you." "Oh, you'inen ! It is hnpossible for you to believe that's, Woman ean disinterest- ed, I assure you rny heart was really bleed- ing for that poor little thing you were play- ing with. It brought back to me my own girlhood, and perhaps' did speak too strong- ly. But I never thought you would inter- pret it into a plea for myzelt" "I swear that there is not a particle of generosity about me -you ought to know that. No, I honestly love you." "And I do not love you. How strange that I should live to Say that to you !" "Do you love any one else ?" he asked. "Yes," she replied, slowly. "'Yes; that is -I suppose it is love. At least it is the only kind of love that men like you leave us capable of feeling after you have done with us. A woman's love is not phoeni3dike. If it ever does rise from its ashes it is a mere ghost of what it was. With wan, cold hands it inay beckon on to the future, yet it looks back upon the bed of gray cinders that once were glowing coals. Perhaps it is as they tell me, perhaps it is a more reasoning love, a love more durable, more fit for this earth. Perhaps it may be so, God grant it, but sometimes it seems to me that its very name is a profanation." So she loved some one else. He thought of Walter's words: Some one you used to be a bit sweet on yourself." "My God," he exclaimed, it can't be 'Walter !" 4 She did not reply. "Can it be Walter ?" he repeated, incredulously. "Why, you and I used to make fun of him so. We used to amuse ourselves laughing at him, with his pale, serious face,his inflamed eyes, and his clumsy spectacles. We used to dub lira the 'Owl,'don't you remember ? The Owl! ha, ha !" " Used to! used to !" broke in Margaret. "Don't bring up what used to be. Have I not told you that nothing is that used to be?" Some one entered the room just then,with a 'quick, buoyant step. It was Walter. With hands outstretched eagerly, he crossed to Margaret. He stopped suddenly as he recognized his cousin. Renwick looked from one to the other. "I don't understand -" he began. Margaret took Walter's outstretched hand, not eagerly, not impetuously, but with a shadow of thought upon her face. She turned to Renwick. Now do you understand?" she asked, quietly. [THE END.] -Two Boys who Looked for Work- " What am I going to do, this vacation?" said Tom, laying his books down on• the old porch ancl turning to look at his cousin. Why, I'm going to find something Se do that will help mother -that's what !' "Well, I'd like to help mine, too, if I could get a chance," said Cleve. " There is need enough, now that father is laidup with his broken arm," " Chance ?" repeated Tom, catching up the word in quick fashion; "there's got to be a chance for me, I tell you. I'm going to spin around this old town like a top till I find it. "That sounds very fine," said Cleve, with a doleful shake of his head, "but places are not so easy to get. I've tried a little al- ready, mornings and evenings. I've asked at several of the big stores and offices and nobody wants any help." "Big stores and offices !" Tom fell back on repetition again. "1 might go to the bank and ask Money -bags to let me be Presi- dent for a little while; I hadn't thought of that. No, sir; that's net the kind of look- ing I'm going to do. Mother says this world is like a great panful of milk with only a little cream on top. If you are will- ing to take milk you may get your share; but if you must have cream, you are likely to wait long and fare slim." Cleve did not see his cousin again for sev- eral days. He made his own weary round, trying here and there for the things he should like to do -the ..pleasant places that paid the best -but the world seemed uncom- fortably crowded. It occurred to him that, since Tom also was in seareh of work, it was strange that he did not rim across him somewhere; but when he inquired, he found that Toni had already found work. It was very strange, Cleve thought, chagrined, and somewhat, envious, that Tom should have been the more successful of the two. Cleve was older, taller and, so flattered him- self, more prepossessing in appearance and address than round-faced, blunt, merry Tom. But one evening he went around to the old porch again; the matter was ex- plained. Tom bajust come honie from the Woolen mill. "At such dirty work as that !" exclaimed Cleve, in surprise. "-Well, it earns clean money, and that is more than can be said for all easy work," laughed Tom, pouring a fresh .supply of water into the great bowl' before him, and preparing for another plunge. "As for my face and hands, they'll wash; no danger that soap or water will hurt;them. Besides, AUGUST it 1894.

I couldn't afford to spend my Whole vaca- tion in looking up something. I took what I could get; and this is steady work, too." He worked steadily at it, and Cleve tramp- ed pretty ;steadily, asking here and there - asking somebody to see somebody else, and inquire whether a third somebody could make an opening for him. These embassies necessitated a good deal of waiting andthere were other days when 'poor Cleve was too discouraged to even try. He did get some odd bits of employment now and then copy- ing a few letters, taking the plane of a clerk who was absent for a week, and occasionally staying in a doctor's office, when that busy man of pills and powders was called into the country. But these occupations were too transient to afford much profit. He saw little of his ceusin until, with the crisp, bright autumn days, school re -opened. Then Tom appeared, looking remarkably well in a comfortable new suit of clothes, buoyant, and ready for the winter's study. Cleve glanced down at his own coat,where his pale -faced, anxious mother had put in a bit of dainty darning that morning, and over which she sighed out a fear that the garment could not be made to last much longer. . Did you really earn those yourself?" he asked of Tom. "Yes, sir, besides helping mother, though she says providing these helps her as much as anything," answered Tom triumphantly. Why, it was steady work you see, and that counts up pretty fast. I say, Cleve-, that milk mother is always telling about isn't so bad. If you dip in and take your share' that will raise a little cream of its own." What a Disturbance He Made at an Auction. Duiing a sale the auctioneer was upon the stand with a piece of calico. " Eight cents a yard -who says ten ?" "P11 give you ten," came from an old lady. "Going at ten? Going !-gone! Yours madam; walk up and settle." "1 didn't bid on it," exclaimed the old lady, advancing. "We'll thank persons not to bid if they don't want an article," said the auctioneer. "Going, then, at eight !.-who says more than eight ?" "Nine cents," came from an old gentle- man. "Nine !-nine !-who says ten? Going at nine! going !---gone ! Yours, sir. Cash takes it at nine cents." "1 didn't bid," said the old gentleman. " I delft want it -wouldn't give you five cents for the whole piece," (Auctioneer getting angry.) "11 any one bids again they will have to rake the article or getInto trouble," (throwing down the piece of calico.) "Give me something else. Ah! gentlemen; here is a fine -piece. What CG:12 I get for this? What do I hear ?-any- thing you please !" "'ll start it at five." "Ten," says an- other. "Twelve and a half," says a third_ "Thirteen ?" cries an old lady-" fourteen !" "fifteen !" several voices. "Fifteen I am offered! fifteen 'i -done at fifteen! Can't dwell. -going! going 1 - gone ! Yours, sir. Step up, whoever bid." No one ca• me up.

All eyes were turned in that direction, but no claimant came forward. "Who says he'll take it at thirteen ?" "I would," said an old 'farmer, "only I'm afraid it's stolen goods 1" The auctioneer, now quite provoked, sprang down, and was about collaring the old man, when a person right behind him cried: "Don't strike him! It was 1 that said you stole it 1" The auctioneer turned round, when a big dog, apparently right at his heels, snuffed and barked most furiously.; With a sudden spring upon his counter, he ordered the crowd to leave. An acquaintance at our elbow,no longer able to contain himself, burstinto a, loud laugh., as a genteel little man passed' out at the door, who he told us was a ventriloquist. • „ -The death of Mrs. George Cowan, a former resident of Galt, took place at the family residence, South Dumfries on Wed- nesday, 1st inst: Mrs. Cowan 11;4 suffered for nearly two years from an affectift of her throat, of the nature of consumption, and gradually faded away. • She was aged 58 years.
