She wished fervently that Nancy or Sally May or Josephine or Joyce or some one other than Frances were beside her; she must think hard. Miss Ashwell was in love with Major Phillips, that was clear.

"We'll be dreadfully spoiled," said Joyce, "like a little boy at home that I know. He insists on keeping Christmas the year around. As he is the only child, and they'd give him the moon if they could reach it, they let him hang up his stocking every night, and every morning there is a present in it for him." "Cousin Elizabeth is spoiling us just the same way," said Eugenia.

Only the best of nursing will bring him through.” “That he shall have,” said Joyce. “I have sent for Margaret Goodsen. You know she is an army nurse, and knows all about wounded men.” “Yes, Margaret is good, none better,” replied the Doctor. All through that night Joyce sat by the bedside of Calhoun cooling his fevered brow, giving him refreshing drinks. He talked almost continually to himself.

"I dare say he's like all the rest when his aim is attained the prize loses its value," reflected Miss Sally pessimistically. "Poor Joyce poor child! But there there isn't a single inharmonious thing in his house that is one comfort. I'm so thankful I didn't let Willard buy those brocade chairs he wanted.

Turning now to the points which more immediately concern us.

"If you will give me your name, I will ask if that person would like to see you." "Oh, that is hardly worth while!" he said, hastily. "My name is Calthorpe, but I'm sure they wouldn't remember me after all this time, and I do not wish to trouble them." But Joyce had excused herself and turned away, as soon as she heard the name, leaving him standing there. Mrs.

In these six little volumes, you will find a compendium of all preliminary knowledge; even these, however, easy as they are, require to be carefully studied.
