"I never imagined anything so interesting. I don't really know which department was the most interesting. I think I liked the horses and the flowers and the fancywork best. Josie Pye took first prize for knitted lace. I was real glad she did. And I was glad that I felt glad, for it shows I'm improving, don't you think, Marilla, when I can rejoice in Josie's success? Mr.

Josie's first thought was: "How does the woman ever get down those narrow stairs?" but she realized afterwards that she was of the soft type of fat that could be squeezed into any space. She was bursting from a tight kimono, a garment usually the loosest of all apparel, but Mrs.

"But," he hastened to change the subject, "you're not drinking, either of you. I sincerely hope it's not so very bad." Angie replaced her glass, barely tasted. "Do you like it, Josie?" To Josie's credit it must be admitted that she made a brave attempt to drink. But the mixture was undoubtedly flat, stale and unprofitable. She sighed, put it back on the counter, and rose to the emergency.

After breakfast Josie sallied out upon the street and found a hardware store. There, after some exploration, she purchased an asbestos table-mat. With this she returned to her room and locked herself in. The chambermaid had "been and gone," but Josie's drawer was still locked and its precious contents intact.

Pretty girls walked on the streets with corsage bouquets of the fragrant flowers. "Poor little Polly and Peter! No wonder they are homesick for Atlanta," was Josie's first thought. She found lodgings in a quaint little old hotel called the Elberta Inn.

Josie's answer was a kiss that promised all things; and then she ran away to do her 'gentle spiriting', like Ariel, leaving Demi to dream among the roses like Ferdinand.

For a moment the fire in the rear disconcerted the enemy and several fled, but others took possession of the doorway and forced their way in. The first one who entered fell by a bullet from Josie's revolver; but realizing her weakness she jumped and fled to the floor above, where she met her father coming down. "They have gained possession of the house," Mr.

But now in one moment Anne saw herself winning the Avery scholarship, taking an Arts course at Redmond College, and graduating in a gown and mortar board, before the echo of Josie's words had died away. For the Avery scholarship was in English, and Anne felt that here her foot was on native heath.

The ones that were mutilated were all in the same handwriting. Fortunately for Josie's patience they were not torn in very small pieces. Fitting them together was not a difficult task for one so alert and quick fingered as our little detective. In several instances the letter had been torn and the pieces all put back in the envelope. That made plain sailing indeed for the puzzle worker.

You know I've never been much with children. And I like live people. I want to hear them talk and sing and see them play. One gets tired of dolls." "If you would like I will bring Nora and Pussy Gray. And I know Josie's mother will let them come. If you could be wheeled up on our sidewalk." "Oh, that would be delightful!" and the soft eyes glowed.
