were times when there were tears In
her eyes, and I have observed that
when women weep they weep more
satisfactorily If they have a manly
bosom to soli their sorrowH out upon.
Incidentally I might say that Kitty's
chaperon was a dozen or more years
older than her charming niece and
showed very plainly In every line of
her face and graceful curve of her tig
