How sagely the little sister's heart had guided her pen! The luxuriously appointed room faded before Miss Dexter's eyes and in its place she beheld a nevertobe forgotten scene. She heard her fath. er's stern, uncompromising volce—— her mother's gentle pleading: the vague questioning of the little broth. er and sister, too young to under stand aught save the knowledge that their idolized sister was going away: away from the sheltering home and the flower-crowned hills and meadows. A mist obscured Miss Dexter's vision and she extended one hand as 4f to stay the approach of the suc ceeding picture, Her fingers touched the soft petals of a longstemmed rose. She push. ed the regal blossom aside petalant- ly. It represented the Present and tonight, by a wave of Memory's magic watted with wand, she dwelt only in the Past Moreover, the girl in the pleture carried a spray of purple lilacs— broken from the flowerladen bush as she passed out through the wicket gate, As incense, their delicate frag: rance ascended with the prayer she breathed for forgiveness and future guidance, Once again her hand came con: tact with the queenly roses, This time, a tremulous smile parted her lips. She was wondering what the generous donors would think could they know how willingly she would exchange their costly florist's crea tion for the smallest cluster of “memory” flowers.
