the lake. Itow splendidly will the rays of the sun rcflect in
the water! Such a sunset in the fal#, #vhen nature does hot

which you l#rolnised fo embroider for Ine."
With a friendly nod the girls separated. Amelia contem-
l)lated for a short rime the rich combination of colours which

hurried, lightly and in good spirits, toward ber owa home. t[el
hea#’# beat higher and more joyously, when she thought wtt#t a
pleasant surprise she had prepared for her çather.
