While my:friend was driven, a clear; musical

It was so evidently spontaneous, so.charrningly
musical, was

be angry or disconcerted. • .

Before the catastrophe Which brought out''
the langhter, the aunt was listening very atten

that she would try and •proottre her a school

brown, bonnet gave a very appcOPriate and im-•
