I did not know who this girl was, her home, or her relation to the school, but I knew that her life and mine had tourlu-- strangely; that her eyes were blue, and that her voice had called to me twice through the dark, in mockery once, and in warning another time, and that the sense of having seen her before, of having looked into her eyes haunted me.

If the tear Is a serious one the edges of the lace can be basted upon the selvedge of muslin and placed in the embroidery hoop. Care must be taken not to sew into the muslin.
