ng till night. A soft little
breeze from the sea tempered the warmth, and set all the flags and
streamers waving. And as the bride walked down the churchyard path on her
husband's arm, it blew the rose petals over her, pink, and crimson, and
white.

Mona, her wishes realised, wore a blue sash and forget-me-nots in her hat;
Millie stood next her with pink roses in hers, and a pink sash. Patty was
a blue girl, and Philippa a pink one. And though the baskets they carried
held not so very many roses, they were flowing over with other flowers,
for the girls had walked miles to gather bluebells and primroses, violets
and delicate anemones, the air smelt sweetly of spring, and the joy of
spring was in their faces, and in their hearts as well.

And as the bride walked away down the path, Mona looked after her with
tender, wistful eyes, and an unspoken prayer in her heart, that she might
be given the grace, and the power to serve her new mistress well and
loyally, and to do her share towards making her new life in her new home
as happy as life could be.

THE END.
