Archer and the "Prophet" . re very unlike; Helen, fair,with a sweet mouth that in some hard schoolhad already learned patience, her whole bear-ing one of delicate, rather frail beauty; Hilda,dignified, reserved, self-possessed, with a gravewomanly face and glorious chestnut hair; Lu-cile, dark, mischievous, a red glow shiningthrough her dusky coloring. Of the three Rose-mary liked Lucile best, but they all seemed nicegirls. And how pretty the scene was, the fire, thesunset glow, the pleasant room full of attractiveyoung people.

We cant agree,Lucile, if we talk all
