Miss Margaret Stanhill, only daughter of one of San Francisco smillionaires, was feeling just a 2little low-spirited. Yesterday she arrived from the East with her father, and the home-coming had -saddened her. There had been no one to welcome her but the servants. This fine old house, as complete in all details as taste and money could make it, had depressed her. She was not sure that she liked elegance. The gardens around the house y? provoked her; the borders and beds were so pain 8fully regular. She preferred old-fashioned ogardens with a little of everything growing in them ;and with rose bushes that were not so fashionably trimmed. Then the neighboring houses tired her; they twere all so very big. Everything seemed new and Ostrange. She had left it all when she was 5years 1old, and she was 20 now. Her life there did not seem to belong to her. Only two things could i she remember of it her mother and her mothers love for herself. The last time she had seen her mother had been just before she left home. How clearly she remembered it! .
