The best man, who fortunately had appealed to Amarilly for guidance,

gave a couch. The Jenkins family, assessed in proportion to their

respective incomes, provided a bedroom set. Lily Rose's landlady sent a

willow rocker; the girl friends at the factory a gilt clock; the

railroad hands, six silver spoons and an equal number of forks. Lily

Rose's Sunday-school teacher presented a lamp. A heterogeneous

assortment of articles came from the neighbors.

These presents were all arranged in the new rooms by Lily Rose, and the

elegance of the new apartment was overwhelming in effect to the

household.

"It looks most too fine to feel to hum in," gasped the Boarder. "It

makes me feel strange!"

"It won't look strange to you," assured the bride-elect, looking shyly

into his adoring eyes, "when you come home and find me sitting here in

my blue dress waiting for you, will it?"

"No!" agreed the Boarder with a quick intake of breath, "'Twill be home

and heaven, Lily Rose."
