She seized the bonhonnlere and dashed It to pieces on the marble hearth. ‘‘That’s what I cure for their old friendship!” M.

The young cousins were going with their beaux. Mrs. Martin with Mr. Martin. And Violet was going with Dick. Aunt Sophia until this minute had not realized how lonely a Christinas night she had ln store, for herself at home in her tiny apartment. .
