Whats it mean? demanded the amazed Mike, as he confronted the strange group. It means hes an American now or will be, volunteered Rosie, hapI know hell love It. I hope pily. hell love us, too."

Her father, an Italian fruit vender, was considered wealthy among the docks the same docks where, ten years before, he stepped ashore, with the same pretty Rosie, then a gawky child of twelve, herded with one laden arm, a large wooden box under another, a very few hundred dollars in s pocket, and but two English words on his tongue Alerica and dollar. Ten ygars had made little change, except financially, In old Bucceri, but had, through tedious but sure schooling, startlingly Americanized Rosie. Watcha givin me? he snorted.

How great it feels just to know Im here part of and hazedly, she swept her that, hands toward the crowded New York Im here happy free skyline. American oh !

The first was Rosies remark on her return trip from the island as she drifted abstractedly past him with an Fine fella, Tim, she empty basket. and, oh, how confided, dreamy-eye'' he can play.

Several Important Cities. The present population of Brittany Is about 3,260,000. The principal cities are Brest, the great naval port of France, beautifully located on one of the best harbors In all Europe; Rennes, In the Interior, brought prominently to the worlds notice some years ago as the scene of Dreyfus first trial; and Nantes, on the Loire, the largest and one of the most Interesting places in all Brittany.

All the people are now nominally Christians. Brittany Is a small country. Its extreme length from north to south Is only 160 miles and Its greatest width Is about the same. The area is 13,600 square miles, or a little larger than the state of Maryland. The peninsula has a backbone of crystalline rock, and the country should be classed as although there are no noteworthy elevations. It bears a strong resemblance to the peninsula of Cornwall, the nearest land toward the north, but the parts away from the coast are much Inferior to Cornwall in fertility and attractiveness and contain no mineral deposits of great value. Some rather extensive forests still remain. e Dreca. People Cling to The characteristic dress of the people, changing as little as their beliefs and customs, is practically the same in every' detail as it was generations ago. Now and then one sees a man or woman who has been to Paris or London and affects a modern style; but the great mass of the population have no Intention or desire to ajjopt any d fashions, and it Is. this fact that gives such a distinctive charm to city and suburban sights. For all ordinary purposes and on all ordinary occasions, the women dress In short skirts and loose waists of some cheap black or d fabric, and usually wear a broad white collar and often a white or colored apron.

In the coastwise districts the dress of the men usually consists of a coarse blouse, loose trousers and a flat woolen or cloth cap. On special occasions, such as weddings and church festivals, the men wear a short black velvet or cloth jacket with large butd tons, and a hat with long ribbons hanging down d, wide-rimme- behind.

Breakfast over, he would go away in silence, They 'seldom had guests, except Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns, who were with them frequently. Sometimes there would be one or two others with them at dinner.
