"Heppy Is a good teacher, and It gives

learned more about the Interesting
family of girls who maintained their
social position on a depleted Income,
remade their own clothes, until there
came a day when they had to unpack
Mrs. Finch's own wedding dress and
veil for Rosamond's bridal. After all
the "eldest Miss Finch," who had con

was the first bride, and Aunt Heppy,
who had turned her Into a famous
cook, was almost as proud as Noll
himself as the bride came up the aisle,
"She looks, like a lovely etatue," said
some on that day.
