No. (t Wiii, Voli, I stood nonr tho door of tho arbor; In the dreamy light beyond, Your hammock was slowly drifting. Your gown was a trailing wand; And under the creeper roses, Red and yellow and white, Shadowy leaves were Hitting, Playing in streaming light: Playing, Hitting, dancing Over your face and hair, Some of them kiss'd your temple While you were swinging there.

"Well then," said Nellie "you take it out and use a string liko mine. Won't you dear?" Thore wasn't any answer to this but in a. little while their grand-mother saw her two little girls again, and both were happy, and both had hats that were tied with strings. Dolmlingr 01il Nowk.
