all those who had lived in peace and

;Standing in front of Aunt Lavinia
was a girl, a slender, elfin creature,
but, my mord, how she stood out!
She had golden hair that was almost
red. The sea wind caught it and
tossed it this way, and that as if in
glee, little curling electric tendril3.
There was something defiant about
her poise, as if already life had to

that mused Tony, as he strolled 'ID.
"Aunt Martha's sent me to see if
you'll be wanting a cook. She's ve'y
clever, but she can't live in,"

to have to disappoint you, but I've
already got my cook, She's corning

Peilhaps when I'm giving a party or
something like that she 'can come

"Thank you very much."
What a sweet yoice it was!
"What's your name, my dear?"
"Fiver Garden."

Tony didn't wonder at it. It must be
rather awful to be saddled with a
