'I hate tall women, said Fred Allen to his cousin Maude, as she sat at 'her feet, this mild May evening, watching her crochet, and smiling up into 'her round and rather expressionless face. Blanche Holiday, at work in her garden near them, heard this, thrqugh the rifts in her father's old stone wall, and trembled silently. 2 ' The craggy wall, with its ragged outlooks on her neighber's grounds, had grown to be a source of torture to her, as through it she heard all sorts of things she was not intend- ed to hear (she was hopelessly and undeni. ably tall), and saw all sorts of things she would rather not have seen. Through it and over it she looked out from under her un- comfortanle poverty-stri liome upon comfort and elegance and beauty; upon fountains and arbors and rustic seats, made to while delicious summer days upon; and at Fred Alden holding wild flirtations with his cousin Maude, who had a face and figure like one of the round pink-and-white shepherd- esses cut in china on the mantel, light flufly hair, blue eyes, pink cheeks, a dear little dimpled chin, nestling down amid cloudy ruffles of crepe lisse or pointapilique, and soft, dimpled, chubby hands, idling with blue and liliac wools, so becoming to their whiteness. > Blanch, herselt, browned by sun and wind, and weather, cast shy and angry looks at her from the beds she was weeding, and did not long sd much for the beautiful home and lo - oY Aral and riding with Maude on the blessed ! sunshiny afternoons, when she was cousin, there would be very little hope for a out shionioe tho letne ish | Young man ona salary, when such old os bi 8 tuce and radish coviesas him come courting with their bank 4 v checks and diamonds.'
