For her prinking knew no limits and her subtiltity . was greater than ever. And she would not venture forth until her finger: nafls were bright and shining and all her “lines” perfect and her MOST decoming hat adjusted at its MOST flattering angle. And I marvelled; for I knew that she waa ¢oing onty to the corner for @ spool of thread. And I questioned her, saying: “How now! Thou hast met thy Fate and ‘thy fortune ts made’ Wherefore then dost thov array thyself,as a damsel for the Love-Chase™ But she smiled at me pityingly and answerod me, saying: “Nay, verily, not for the LoveChase!
