The new book is about aged types; and his friend. Perry Westerly, gives him an opportunitaL*tf’Vivc for while at a hoMlNMrthfc aged called “Rainbow’s End.” There is an excellent reason for Westley’s sending Norman away from home. Westley is in love with Mrs. Norman, and is openly paying her attentions, but Henry beeves inplieitly in the honor of his friend. Ignorant of the true conditions of affairs, Henry takes up his temporary residence at Rainbow’s End. More interesting than all the aged types is the forlorn young maid-of-all-work, Blossom, who scarcely more than a child in years, is old before her time. Henry laughingly calls her “The Lit tle Old Young Lady,” and in her he finds the inspiration for his book. She tells him all about her aged charges, and aids him .in gathering material.
