She was only fifteen and even more childish in appearance than in reality. Nothing could induce her to do up lier hair or lengthen her dresses. She was not ugly nor was she pretty; only an interesting, a “vivacious face.” Just now she was looking disconsolate ly oiit of the car window at the living trees, and was wondering what grand mama was doing just then. Did she miss lone as much as lone missed grand mama? It could not be - and laying the flushed cheek on the brown hand in a childish, despondent way, she wished she had never heard of a Hoarding school; the tears rushed to her eyes and dropped to the ground. At that instant a hand was laid on‘her arm, and a pleasant voice said : “Excuse me, Miss, but you have drop ped your portmonnaic.” Brushing away the tears, and barely smothering the soh that would almost gome, she turned to look at the .speaker, Such a gmhd face she Iiad never seen be fore. Such penetrating, yet kindly eyes. She looked at him in silent amazement, “I say, sissie, here's 'your pocket-book, Don't look at me so sharply.
