"Very likely not, when I've begun playing the harp. Now where are those con those ribbons?" Jewel's eyes and lips grew suddenly serious and doubtful, and he observed the change. "Yes, your hair ribbons, you know," he added hastily and with an attempt at geniality. "Not if you don't like to, grandpa." "I love to," he protested. "I've been looking forward to it all the morning.

She was arrayed in a thin black gown and wore a large black hat, that was very becoming. Jewel's admiration went out to her on the instant and she started up. The lady swept toward her, and bending, a delicate perfume wafted about Jewel as she felt a light touch of lips on her cheek. "So this is Julia Evringham," said the newcomer.

The remainder of the building is mainly Early English. Some old stained glass in the Perpendicular windows of the nave should be noticed and also the chained copy of Bishop Jewel's Apologie or Answer in Defense of the Churche of Englande, dated 1571, in the chancel. The pulpit dates from the early seventeenth century and is a well-designed piece of woodwork with carving of that period.

As food for the more advanced minds of the congregations, ordinaries saw to it that volumes dealing with the interpretation of the Scriptures, the polity of Church and State, and the defence of that polity were provided for every parish church. Such works were Erasmus' Paraphrases, Bullinger's Decades, Bishop Jewel's works, and other writings of an apologetic nature.

The girl turned back to the piano. "Jewel is so modern that she doesn't know the Mendelssohn 'Spring Song," she said, and forthwith she began it. Jewel's head lay back against Dr.

One piece followed another in quick succession, now gay, now grave, and the listener scarcely stirred in her enjoyment. At last, suddenly, in the midst of a Grieg melody, the player ceased, and crossing her arms upon the empty music rack, bowed her head upon them in such an attitude of abandon that Jewel's heart leaped in sympathy. "Oh cousin Eloise! What makes her so sorry?" she thought.

Jewel's eyes had caught a glimpse of green color. Eagerly she reached down into the trunk and drew out carefully a dress in tiny checks of green and white. "That's my silk dress," she said, regarding it fondly. "It is very neatly made," returned Mrs. Forbes repressively. "It doesn't matter at all what little girls have on if they are clean and neat.
