It hud snowed the night before. Mluimie had gone to sleep while the snowstorm had kept tip steadily. It was wonderful the way It had kept on while the whole world, almost, had gone to sleep. The last thing Mimmie had heard xx as the great fog horn which was Just outside the harbor. The hell on the buoy which told ships where the bad rocks were hud clanged steadily. For s the buoy tossed about on the waxes the bell at the top of the buoy rang.

In this way they were not xvorried for fear she would he hurt, and she did not spoil their fun. The battle was a furious one. The snowballs were large ones. But after a time they became smaller, as they had to be made and remade after throwing, and now there was uo time allowed for snowhull-makin- g The box s had been bulled to stay for lunch, and after lumh they played for axxhile with trains iu the house.

Hut with the day came sunshine, and wdien Mimmie awoke she thought for a moment why she felt so very happy. It was really annoying to feed so happy and not knoxv Just why. But in a few moments she remembered. It was Saturday and they had planned the night before to build a snow fort if the 8UOXV didn't turn into rain during the night Mimmie got up and shook off some of the snow which had fallen on tlve big eiderdown quilt. Her sleeping room was at the top of the house and It was very cold. Its windows looked out over the harbor and her bed was near the windows, so that often patches of snow were on the quilt. But she loved it She loxed moving the hot water bottle about so that It warmed the sheets, and sometimes when the water In the bottle bad frozen down at the end of the bed, she had had to leave it until she was dressed and It was melted so she could pour It out. $ fc. i He was loo old to play with them, but they still stayed in his room, so they oxxned them together. Miiimiie liked big boys better than she did big girls, Ibg girls told her that she was young for her age, which was nn( true. She knew that. Big boys called her a tomboy, and that was a great compliment, she thought. She knexv that was true. Her brother had taught her to ride iu the express cart so she could be dashed around corners und she could balance without letting the cart upset. All the boys thought It fine the way she could do this. And she could climb up and stand on her toother's shoulders, and when lie got down on the floor she knexv how to avnd on his chest so as lot to hurt him. Very fexv, except those whose business It was to do this, knexv lioxx'. She could steer a sled and turn somersaults on the Ired. Her brother had taught her to do all these great things. She could vault a fence, too, and in an old tree site loved to climb lie had made seats for her where she sat high aboxe the earth. These were the things her brother and liis friends had taught her to do. Big boys could really be so nice. Why did some children think otherwise? s Because they were cry babies, brother said, but Mimmie knexv it was because these big hoys taught but did not tease.

This superstition is found by Investigators of the American Folk-I.orsociety to he fairly common iu the United States. In general terms the shoe among the ancients was supposed to possess, by the operation of sympathetic magic and by the operation of some other mystical force not quite clear, very strong mystic qualities. Its relation to marriage Is shown by the custom of throwing the old shoe at weddings. The shoe, then, having a mystic connection with marriage Is an appropriate vehicle for divination with regard to it The primitive theory that what is a part of anything Is possessed of the qualities of the whole, the buttons on a shoe take on the shoe's mystic qualities. Buttons, again, are fastenings supposed to hold parts of the shoe together. By sympathetic magic what Is associated In Idea Is associV e ated In reality. Therefore the i t (, William B.

A romance growled In his mind, wrote Mr. Hawthorne. He finished the novel In one year. It was published In 1S50, the first edition consisting of five thousand volumes which were exhausted within a week. It is the best known and most widely read of all Mr. Hawthorne's works. The book Is a study in the retributive working of conscience. According to the laws of the early Puritans, a man who transgressed the marriage law was punished by death. Upon the woman was branded a scarlet letter. It happened upon this occasion that the Judges were more lenient with Hester Prynne and permitted her to substitute for the branding the wearing of a scarlet letter of cloth. Arthur Dlinmesdale, refusing to confess his crime, felt something not unlike that pang of conscience expressed by Lady Macbeth: What, xviit these hands ne'er he clean?
