My next view was hrief hut elear, and I I'L'CUf.':llllL'll instantly IIallie -laekson, standing on a street eorner lecturing to girls and hegging them to join her army of females whose mission it was to tell the world and other distressed damsels what to do in ease you eham1ed your mind where men were eoneerned. Ilow many times had she ehanged her mind in the past ten years, I wondered, hut soon I was ahsorhed in another revelation. There was james Ifineh in a long rohe and stiff white eollar, preaching from the pulpit of the largest ehureh in VVasliing.Qtnn, I7. C. XVhatever had eome over blames, I thought, and then I saw !-for I heheld his meek little wife seated in the front pew, drinking in his everv wnrd, and I euuldn't help hut remark, Now w'ho'd have thought Ava would have had lffzll kim! of an efleet on him ! I was heginninpg to think that this was surely all of us in that old elass of IQ26, hut no, there was Riehard, little Riehard Iiuehan, the smallest hut lw no means the least memher. And heeause I wished so hard to know what had heeome of him there came into view my last pieture. Newshaws were running ahnut the streets shouting, Vl'iix-try! NVuxtry! All uhout the new representative from Vanee County. Hurrah for Buchan! XVell, now, I knew Riehard'd go and do it sume day! Suddenly my eyes hegan to sting, and then as if hv maggie I was sitting on the ruhhing them. VVhere was mv little kaleidoscope, where was my little elf? C'ould it ground he that when I snr down tu tie the how' on my oxford and had seen the patch of elover and hegan looking for the four-leaves, that I had fallen asleep and dreamed all this?

Mv elf QLYLY real, my pietures ftwfv' real, and no matter it Monday did mean that I must return to nw' duties as matron of the llI'Pll1llIl5 Ilome la position I had held for six years and learned to lovel I would Carry with me the thoughts of all nw' old ehildhood ehums and schoolmates, and would spend rnany a pleasant evening reviewing those delightful pietures of them in nw mind. Thus, refreshed I rose and hastened down the path to the cottage, where I found I was just in time for tea. Now, will you helieve in elves? 21 Crass Pitorn iii .
